Description
The Rush to Judgment That Killed Nortel In 2003, a routine examination of Nortel Networks' balance sheet sparked a witch hunt that would ultimately claim the company's reputation. What began as a simple review of the books quickly turned into a full-blown investigation, with outside investigators concluding that Nortel's accounting was suspect. The company's directors accepted this as fact, and it took nearly a decade for the truth to come to light. A chilling exposé of the independent probe that started it all, 100 Days reveals the surprising tale of those who questioned the conclusions and the RCMP officers and Ontario Crown attorneys who pursued them. This is a story of how three former Nortel executives were denied a presumption of innocence for years, before finally having their day in court. Through the eyes of James Bagnall, the Ottawa Citizen's associate business editor, this book sheds light on a shocking episode of corporate governance gone wrong.
