一、世界通信公司造假收入38亿美元 6月25日,美国第二大长途电话公司世界通信公司(World Com)发表声 明,承认自2001年初到2002年第一季度通过将大量的费用支出计入资本项 目的手法,共虚增收入38亿美元,虚增利润16亿多美元。其中,2001年度虚 增收入30.6亿美元,2002年第一季度为7.97亿美元。该公司原报告的2001年 度14亿美元和今年第一季度1.3亿美元的利润,实际是净亏损。为该公司提供 财务报表审计的是安达信公司。 据美国媒体报道,这是美国历史上迄今为止金额最大的会计欺诈事件。由 于世界通信公司目前负有300亿美元的巨额债务,有关分析人士认为其申请破 产在所难免。如果该公司破产,其申请破产的资产总额(1000亿美元)将是安 然公司的2倍,从而将成为美国历史上最大的破产案。 世界通信公司在曝出假账丑闻后,该公司的股票在华尔街股市上一路狂 泻,4年前每股曾高达64.50美元的股价跌至6月26日收盘时的9美分
