MCI Still Hasn't Figured Out This Accounting Stuff
from the how-much-more-can-they-go? dept
You would think, after an $11 billion fraud, going through bankruptcy, seeing your former CEO found guilty of orchestrating accounting fraud, and your various investment bankers paying multi-billion dollar fines one thing that MCI would be very, very, very careful about is their current accounting practices. Ooops. It turns out that they made a mistake on their initial tax filing and admitted that the company needs "better internal controls over its tax calculations." They just discovered that now?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
