Subject: Trading v Origination Offices

Sally, Brent,
There are three MG offices in North America outside New York which, previous
to the acquisition by Enron, acted much as trading offices.
Shona and Naomi have worked with the people in New York to put in place extra
controls so that they are not trading offices, for example having a trader in
New York or London own each book and sign off on profit daily.
This process has highlighted the fact that our non-trading offices are not
all the same, and cannot reasonably all be the same.
Some offices organise logistics things to happen on the ground, some
originate, and some execute for Trading Offices.

is a suggestion for how we can make this division explicit.
All the cc above are bought in to this approach.
What do you require to be comfortable so that we can put it up to Causey and
Buy?

It is worth noting that this approach would have caught Helsinki, except for
the Contract-in-a-bottom-drawer, but no system of control can reliably catch
that, as was evidenced by EOTT.

Thanks,
Richard
