Can you do a video on Enron & Arthur Andersen and how this brought out the SOX act

Hi! From Reddit. Although I knew this already, yet it was a great informative video! What I have heard is that Arthur Anderson is again back in the business. Only time can tell if they can regain their place as one of the top auditing firms.

Arthur Andersen still exists nowadays but without the “Arthur”. I currently work at Andersen (we only do tax and legal nowadays) still a global firm and growing really fast
