Description

The longer WorldCom Chief Audit Executive Cynthia Cooper stares on the entries in front of her, the more sinister they seem. But the CFO is badgering her to delay her team’s audit of the company’s books and directing others to block Cooper’s efforts. Still, something in the pit of her stomach tells her to keep digging. Cooper takes readers at the back of the scenes on a riveting, real-time journey as she and her team work at night and at the back of closed doors to expose the largest fraud in corporate history. Whom can they agree with? Could she lose her job? Must she fear for her physical safety?

In Extraordinary Circumstances, she recounts for the first time her journey from her close circle of relatives upbringing in a small Mississippi town, to working motherhood and corporate success, to the pressures of turning into a whistleblower, to being named one of Time’s 2002 Persons of the Year. She also provides a rare insider’s glimpse into the spectacular rise and fall of WorldCom, a telecom titan, the darling of Wall Street, and a Cinderella story for Mississippi.

With remarkable candor, Cooper discusses her struggle to triumph over these challenges, and how she has found healing through sharing the lessons learned with the next generation. This book reminds us all that ethical decision-making isn’t forged on the crossroads of major events but starts in childhood, “decision by decision and brick by brick.”

At a time when corporate dishonesty is dominating public attention, Extraordinary Circumstances makes it clear that the tone set on the top is critical to fostering an ethical environment in the work-place. Provocative, moving, and intensely personal, Atypical Circumstances is a warning call to corporate leaders and an intimate glimpse at a scandal that shook the business world.
