In all honesty, accountants have been tax evaders from the very beginning... Although being a respected profession, this accountancy field was corrupt long before Enron and what these recent KPMG cases have highlited..
It has just been due to recent significant cases like Enron that the image of accountants has been tarnished... Long before all this, any person close to this profession would have known all the 'tricks' even though our society wasn't aware of it...
We should never blame media for highliting all these cases... After all media is for spreading awareness.
