Arthur Andersen and Andersen Consulting had an acrimonious divorce during the internet boom, complete with a major lawsuit over the name "Andersen." Accenture and Arthur Andersen were two separate (and at-war) companies by the time Enron came around.

More like different corporate entity. And that's not my "belief," but a "fact."

You really don't know what you're talking about.

They were entirely different companies by the time of Enron. The consulting practice paid about $1 billion just to get the divorce, which was a bargain since the accounting firm was demanding $14 billion.

They were not only not affiliated with each other, they were bitter bitter enemies.
