Panel on Enron and Developments in Business Ethics Set for Denver
June 5, 2006 -- When a Houston jury recently convicted Enron's former chief executives of fraud and conspiracy, the director of the Justice Department's Enron Task Force said, "... you can't lie to shareholders, you can't put yourself in front of your employees' interests, and no matter how rich and powerful you are, you have to play by the rules."
O.C. Ferrell, Bill Daniels Distinguished Professor of Business Ethics at the University of Wyoming, got a different perspective when he exchanged views with Ken Lay, the former CEO of Enron, two days after his May 25 conviction.
According to Ferrell, Lay maintains his innocence and feels that he only made decisions that were approved by his lawyers and accountant (Arthur Andersen). In addition, he blames the Enron board of directors for not taking some responsibility for approving many of the decisions made within the company.
