My guess is that while a poor balancesheet might cause restless sleep, it’s the thought of an incorrectly reported balancesheet that brings on night terrors. Remember the public shaming – and heavy sentences — heaped on Enron and Worldcom for their accounting (and more importantly, ethical) failures?
For example, if you are suggesting cost reduction and balancesheet restructuring to GE, where activist investor Nelson Peltz, one of the founders of hedge fund Trian Fund Management, has a major stake, your pitch has a very different meaning than it would at News Corporation, where Rupert Murdoch still has effective control of the company.
