We've been watching the Enron DVD this last week - which has been fascinating. It's almost impossible to believe that people can be so unethical. The film makes me wonder if the people behind the scandal actually just got in over there heads when they saw dollar signs -- or if they actually were, in fact, just bad people at their core.

What is the relationship between financial analysts and practitioners of financial public relations? I found that in the post-Enron marketplace, people expect complete and full disclosure on a company's financial standings. Public relations professionals are expected to communicate a company's investor relations in areas such as merger/acquisitions, IPO communications, quarterly earnings, investor conferences, financial media relations, annual report assistance, online investor relations opportunities, research and analyis. PR pro's should also be aware of communicating financial media relations, and financial analyst relations.
