I suggest a small paragraph on a comparison of the size of the four companies in terms of personnel and revenue in let's say last fiscal year (2006) or 2005 if 2006 is not available. It would make sense. Actually, it has been done in the French version. so if anybody has the time to copy/paste/translate, than it's cool.


The reference article refers to the demise of Arthur Andersen as follows: "Arthur Andersen is indicted for falsifying the finanical statements of Enron, covering up millions of dollars in losses."

In fact, Arthur Andersen was indicted for the charge of Obstruction of Justice.

From the case, United States District Court - Southern District of Texas, United States of America against Arthur Andersen, LLP:

"On or about and between October 10, 2001, and November 9, 2001, within the Southern District of Texas and elsewhere, including Chicago, Illinois, Portland, Oregon, and London, England, ANDERSEN, through its partners and others, did knowingly, intentionally and corruptly persuade and attempt to persuade other persons, to wit: ANDERSEN employees, with intent to cause and induce such persons to (a) withhold records, documents and other objects from official proceedings, namely: regulatory and criminal proceedings and investigations, and (b) alter, destroy, mutilate and conceal objects with intent to impair the objects, integrity and availability for use in such official proceedings."

[edit] Big 8 page - propose merger

I propose the separate page on the Big 8 redirect here as it covers the same ground but in less detail.
