As you can see from above, Enron was producing high income and revenues, with low expenses. This was due to unethical practices and improper accounting standards, as well as overstating their revenue. Amazon was using proper accounting procedures and ethical practices, and was producing high revenue and profits. However, Amazon had high expenses and losses in that year. Enron should have had higher expenses/losses, but they were understating them. This led to an investigation being conducted on Enron, and the company received several fraud charges.
