Abstract

Spanish Abstract: Varios antiguos alumnos y amigos nos enviaron varias preguntas que se responden brevemente en este documento. ¿Se podía ver venir lo sucedido mirando los estados contables? ¿Reflejan los estados contables la verdad de la empresa? ¿Qué decían los auditores de Abengoa? ¿Son poco fiables los auditores? ¿Cuánto cobraron los auditores a Abengoa? ¿Cuándo y cómo se va a arreglar el evidente conflicto de intereses de algunas auditoras? ¿Anticiparon esto los inversores en Bolsa?

English Abstract: Several alumni and friends sent to us several questions that we answer in this paper. Could we know what was happening by reading the financial statements? Do the financial statements reflect the "truth" of the company? Can we trust the auditors? Did the investors anticipate what was happening in Abengoa?
