## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Fascinating and inspiring
  

*by K***Z on Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2023*

Cynthia Cooper did an excellent job transporting readers to the circumstances surrounding the rise and fall of the once Behemoth Telecom company WorldCom. As a recently certified CPA, I cannot think of a better book to help anchor young professionals to a strong set of moral values to face ethical dilemmas that will sure come as they move up in their different career paths.

    Outstanding book about moral courage
  

*by P***W on Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2008*

As a university professor and former auditor, I found Ms. Cooper's book to be an outstanding book which will be required reading in my course.  The book focuses on the personal challenges that auditors face on the job - and on the challenges all of us face in our everyday lives.Finding a core set of principles to live by, and following those principles is not easy - especially when the people involved in  wrong-doing are "friends" or business associates, while those affected by the wrong-doing are strangers.I was impressed with her descriptions of her life experiences - that life isn't fair - and that learning how to "get up off the mat" is more important than having the best plan.I was also impressed with her descriptions of the various ways in which she tried to understand what was being communicated to her. The "listening" and "communication" skills she discusses, and the inner strength she demonstrated when the easiest course would have been to ignore the anomolies or to take the explanations for them at face-value, are the real take-aways from the book.The accounting issues are pretty straight-forward - though, for non-accountants, she might have spent a little bit more time explaining "allowance" (for uncollectible accounts) and "prepaid capacity" accounts under accrual accounting.  Further, she might have discussed briefly why the "matching" concept didn't apply to the lease expenses (the right to use the lines couldn't be stored and thus, the cost were period expenses, not capitalized assets).  Nonethless, her book is a perfect fit with the Dot-Com Bubble HBS case - and serves as a great set-up for a discussion of the current sub-prime loan/credit-crunch that exists in the current economy.  A life well-lived, and a book well-done.

    Extraordinary Circumstances is an Extraordinary Read
  

*by W***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2008*

What a wonderful experience reading this book. I found it very hard to put down. Cynthia Cooper's story reads like a novel, but wouldn't be very believable if it weren't true.  Cynthia was a self made professional who had to build an organization, starting from nothing, in a high flying organization that couldn't understand the benefits of internal controls. Moving through a company that cared only about building through acquisitions, they had neither the time or focus to care about internal controls.When the Telecom Industry bubble bursts, WorldCom's CFO received the shocking news that their quarterly earnings were far below what they had forecast to Wall Street. Instead of facing the music, he directed illegal and fraudulent changes be made to hide the losses, hoping that this was just a short term anomaly that would right itself in the next quarter or so. Thus begins the slippery slope we hear about so many times.Cynthia Cooper's tenacity and dread of what she would find when she begins her relentless search for the truth, makes this a very compelling story. It is very clear that this was not a vendetta or search to destroy anyone's career, as she is deeply troubled by what she may find and how many lives and careers may be destroyed.This book should be required reading for every student of business administration. There are many lessons taught about maintaining a moral compass and the consequences that can occur when someone deviates from the proper course.I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.
