Abstract

Corporations are the cornerstone of the north american economy. While they were first formed as non-profit organizations created for the public good in European societies, by the 17th century, the focus for many corporations changed and the drive to make money took precedence over working for the betterment of society. Even so, corporations provide millions of jobs for citizens in our communities and are a key component in the success of a prosperous economy. But what happens when corporations don’t follow the rules? How does this affect the employees who work for the corporations and the communities they live in? Several high profile corporate fraud cases in both United States and Canada such as Enron, World Com, Tyco, BreX, Hollinger Inc. have been reported over the last decade.
