Population: 2,010,000.安然公司，（股票代码：ENRNQ）成立于1930年，总部设在美国休斯敦。曾是一家位于美国得克萨斯州休斯敦市的

21、能源类公司。安然公司在2000年财富世界500强排名第16位，是美国最大的天然气采购商及出售商，也是领先的能源批发做市商。另外，该公司还运营着一家天然气管道系统和宽频部门。安然在10年前成立时只是一家天然气分销商，但如今它已经成为拥有 340亿美元资产的发电厂。安然公司同时也经营纸、煤和化学药品等日用品。该公司在美国控制着一条长达32000英里的煤气输送管道，并且提供有关能源输送的咨询、建筑工程等服务。公司所属7家分公司分别负责运输与储存、国内天然气与电力服务、国际经营与市场开发、油气勘探与生产和再生能源开发利用等5个领域的经营业务。1996年公司总收入达到132.89亿美元，净收入达到5.8

22、4亿美元，总资产为161.37亿美元。主要子公司：1、安然天然气管线集团，2、安然投资公司，3、安然能源服务公司，4、安然国际公司，5、安然石油和天然气公司，6、安然再生能源公司， 7、安然资本和贸易资源公司。Kenneth L. Lay为主席和首席执行官、管理委员会成员，Jeffrey K. Skilling为总裁、管理委员会成员。在2001年宣告破产之前，安然拥有约21000名雇员，曾是世界上最大的电力、天然气以及电讯公司之一，2000年披露的营业额达1010亿美元之巨。公司连续六年被财富杂志评选为“美国最具创新精神公司”，然而真正使安然公司在全世界声名大噪的，却是这个拥有上千亿资产的公司

23、2002年在几周内破产，持续多年精心策划、乃至制度化系统化的财务造假丑闻。安然欧洲分公司于2001年11月30日申请破产，美国本部于2日后同样申请破产保护。但在其破产前的资产规模为498亿美元，并有312亿的沉重债务。过度膨胀的快速发展使其无法应对经济环境的逆转，而导致无法经营运作状况的恶化，以破产结束企业。从那时起，“安然”已经成为公司欺诈以及堕落的象征。 a federal investigating jury: 联邦调查陪审团联邦调查陪审团 Arthur Anderson Company: an accounting firm Enron: 安然安然(财富财富500强公司之一，总部所在地
