Mayhew , Associate Dean of Undergraduate Program, Arthur Andersen Alumni, Professor, University of Wisconsin-Madison, WI "Called to Accountprovides an outstanding, historical perspective on how financial frauds and other important events have shaped the U.S. accounting profession. And the individual case studies covering most of the largest frauds in recent history are both informative and enjoyable to read.
