In early 1994 the Andersen engagement team quantified several current and prior period misstatements and prepared proposed adjusting journal entries(PAJEs) in the amount of $128 million for the company to record in 1993. If recorded, this amount would have reduced net income before special items by 12 percent. The engagement team also identified accounting practices that gave rise to other known and likely misstatements primarily resulting in the understatement of operating expenses.
