Submitted by wulan on Wed, 12/23/2009 - 07:08

Ebook Like Moths Attracted to Flames: Managerial Hubris and Financial Reporting Frauds

Submitted by wulan on Thu, 06/10/2010 - 06:42

The above mentions refer to critical steps in the meteoric rise of Micheline Charest, former co-CEO and controlling shareholder of CINAR Corporation (CINAR). CINAR, a media and entertainment company co-founded by Ms. Charest and her husband and co-CEO, Ron Weinberg, was once the darling of the investment community.

However, at the pinnacle of Ms. Charest's fame and power, the company started to unravel, getting embroiled in allegations of copyright, tax, financial reporting and cash management cover-ups and frauds in the tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars.

The events at CINAR led to a legal and regulatory saga that, eight years later, is still going on. Through that process, the Charest-Weinberg couple lost their positions, the control of their company, their reputation and, most likely, a significant portion of their fortune.
