Worldcom was an accounting scandal, not strictly speaking a RM scandal. It
was one of the scandals that led to Sarbanes-Oxley.

Okay, I give up. I've been searching the list archives and Googling articles
and cannot find what I'm looking for. I'm preparing a presentation and I
just want to know what exactly the Worldcom bankruptcy had to do with
records management. I find countless articles with oblique references to how
the Worldcom scandal helped turn the spotlight on records management
practices, but in all those articles I do not find a mention of what exactly
was the records management mistake they made.
I'm not asking anyone to do any searching for me (Peter), partly because I
have read enough articles arleady. But if anyone happens to know off hand
the records management mistake Worldcom made, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Gary
