After it came out that Enron had been cooking the books for years and
the company imploded, I remember hearing an interview on NPR with a
professor of business ethics at a business school. She said something
to the effect that the Enron scandal showed that we needed to teach
business students to implement proper document retention practices
(meaning: destroy old incriminating documents so the investigators can't
catch you).
As far as I can tell from current events, business ethics have not
improved since.
