  16. Enron’s long-term debtdeclared : $13 billion Real Debt: $38 billionHidden debt: $25 billion Communication Problem

  17. Present Solution & Recommendations

  18. Solution/Recommendation 1 Enron could have structured their communication with their competitors instead of refusing to involve any communication whatsoever. Having brief communication would allow for the corporation to partake in healthy competition in such a way that allows them to expand and broaden their value of creating propositions for diverse industry players and competitors.

  19. Solution/Recommendation 2 The accounting representatives should have followed the guidelines of the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP ) rather than violating them. As a result, financial documents contained incorrect financial information regarding the corporation’s financial status. By complying with the guidelines the appropriate assistance could have been provided to help.

  20. Solution/Recommendation 3 Each department within the corporation could have tried to maintain better communication with one another and its human resources department, to ensure that the proper courses of action were taken to ensure the best interest of the shareholders and employees whose pensions were invested in the corporations stock.

  21. Conclusion Enron Corporation’s main area of concern stemmed from the accounting representatives overlooking some crucial strategies involving falsified financial documentation that could have prevented the falling out of this booming trading corporation and its practices.
