=== Collapse ===
The firm collapsed by mid-2002, as details of its questionable accounting practices for energy company [[Enron]] and telecommunications company [[Worldcom]] were revealed amid the two high-profile bankruptcies. The scandals were a factor in the enactment of the [[Sarbanes–Oxley Act]] of 2002 to increase oversight and protect [[whistleblower]]s.<ref>Savage, Charlie [https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/26/us/politics/obstruction-trump-search-documents.html "Possibility of Obstruction Looms Over Trump After Thwarted Efforts to Recover Documents"] ''The New York Times'', August 26, 2022. Retrieved January 17, 2025.</ref> After the collapse, some parts of the company continue to exist: the company's consulting services were split out before the collapse and continue today as [[Accenture]] and [[Protiviti]], while some of the former partners formed a new firm in 2002 focused on tax services, now called [[Andersen Tax]].<ref name=":0" />
