Roman Company Misstated 20 B.C. Financial Results
Enroneous, a Roman company trading in anything it could get its hands on, is said to have misrepresented its earnings for the year 20 B.C. by up to 30 million coins with Caesarâs picture on them.
Enroneous is also accused of artificially inflating the price of the silk market, bribing aqueduct officials in several outer regions of the empire and building roads that led to Athens instead of to Rome.
"I wasnât at those meetings. I was out of town. I have no recollection of anything that has ever happened in my entire life," Jeffrus Skillingus, the former chief executive of Enroneous, told a Roman Senate panel looking into the companyâs faulty financial records.
A review of the companyâs EBITDA (Earnings Before Incredibly Terrible Diseases and Afflictions) financial report shows that leading officers in the company may have known about its transgressions.
Efforts, however, to examine the offices of Arthur Andersenus, the lead accountants for Enroneous, have so far turned up nothing but several tons of shredded papyrus leaves.
