b. What appears to have been the incentives and opportunities to commit the fraud?
c. Comment on the likely ethical dilemma that Cynthia Cooper faced when she initially uncovered the fraud.
d. Which audit firm conducted the external audit on WorldCom’s financial statements in the years prior to the discovery of the fraud? Why might the auditors have lacked the necessary pro- fessional skepticism to uncover the fraud?
