WorldCom continues to lead the industry in converged communications solutions for the 21st century. Bilanzmanipulation in den USA Freitag, 04. Stärkere SEC, neue Behörde für Bilanzaufsicht und hart durchgreifende Staatsanwälte. In den USA war eigentlich alles getan, um nach den Tiefschlägen von Enron und Worldcom mit dieser dunklen Seite der amerikanischen Wirtschaft abzuschließen und die Augen der Anleger wieder auf erquicklichere Dinge zu richten. Gemeint ist nicht Enron, denn im Vergleich dazu ist Enron ein kleiner Fisch. Unternehmen Worldcom, das vor knapp einem Jahr als einer der größten Bilanzskandale in die amerikanische Wirtschaftsgeschichte einging. zu hoch ausgewiesen zu haben. Unschöne Sache, aber das Leben geht weiter. Also wurde fortan an einer Restrukturierung gearbeitet, neue Manager, die es mit der Wahrheit etwas genauer nahmen, begannen mit dem Großreinemachen. Daß das durchaus ernst gemeint war, zeigte sich Anfang des Jahres. Worldcom rang sich dazu durch, den unglaublichen Betrag von 80 Mrd. Unternehmen bisher auf einmal aus der Bilanz fegte. aber Worldcom gab sich optimistisch. Nach herben Verlusten im Dezember realisierte das Unternehmen im Februar trotz immer noch rückläufiger Umsätze einen Monatsgewinn von 145 Mio. Optimismus war angesagt, bis zum Ende des Jahres sollte das Insolvenzverfahren Geschichte sein. Interne Prüfungen haben nun ergeben, daß weitere 2 Mrd. Gewinne falsch gebucht worden seien. sind dadurch mittlerweile 11 Mrd. Angefallene Kosten sollen auf die Tochter MCI ausgelagert worden sein, die eine rechtlich selbständige Einheit darstellte. Damit konnte der eigene Gewinn deutlich gesteigert werden. Der neue Optimismus hat nun einen deutlichen Dämpfer bekommen.
