Abstract: Purpose - To identify key elements in corporate financial reporting abuse – accounting manipulation, inadequate auditing, misled capital markets, corporate executive compensation, executive flight, newspaper outrage, clever legal defences, and eventual accountability and punishment. Design/methodology/approach - Fictional poem. Findings - Truth eventually surfaces followed by public retribution. Research limitations/implications - To reduce complex situations to their fundamental elements. Originality/value - Observing the corporate financial reporting scene at its most primitive.
