The Arthur Andersen scandal refers to the catastrophic downfall of the prominent accounting firm in 2001 and 2002 due to its involvement in the massive financial fraud and bankruptcy of its client, Enron Corporation. Andersen was found to have complicitly overlooked fraudulent off-balance-sheet accounting and was later criminally convicted of obstructing justice for shredding audit documents, which ultimately forced the firm out of business.
