Hot Issues in Securities and Accounting Fraud
Spencer C. Barasch, U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission - Enforcement Division
It has been almost five years since the collapse of Enron, and
four years since the enactment of Sarbanes-Oxley, yet financial and
accounting fraud scandals, and related prosecutions, still dominate
the headlines of our newspapers and business periodicals. In 2004,
the SEC filed 179 financial fraud enforcement actions, which
represented 29% of all enforcement cases. In the last two years, the
SEC also sought officer and director bars against more than 300
individuals. The SEC currently has an estimated 900 open financial
fraud investigations.
Spencer C. Barasch, who recently left the SEC to enter private
practice after 17 years in the Division of Enforcement, will provide an
"insiders view" into the SEC and, particularly, its Enforcement
Division. Over the last seven years, Spencer was head of the SEC's
enforcement activities in the Southwest, and directed many high profile
investigations, including Halliburton, Royal Dutch Shell, Dynegy,
Fleming Foods, i2 Technologies, etc. Spencer currently is a partner at
Andrews Kurth where he is the leader of the firm's Corporate Compliance,
Investigations and Defense group.

sitting around on the internet for free.
- If you do find them for free, that’s probably about what they
are worth.
