ANDERSEN ARCHIVES
TASK FORCE COMMITTEE

Charge:

The Task Force will:

  1. Act to ensure that Arthur Andersen & Co. documents and related material of historical and scholarly interest can be preserved and made available for future research at an appropriately chosen institution such as a university library.
  2. Work with the representatives of the Andersen firm, its former partners, and the Andersen family to seek their cooperation in preserving the materials under their control, and help arrange appropriate materials to be transferred to the selected institution(s).
  3. Seek financial and other resources and funding from those who may have an interest in supporting this endeavor.

The Task Force is expected to operate for a term of five years with a membership of five individuals. The special TF will operate as a virtual entity, using electronic and telephone communications as their principal means of activity. Costs are to be met by members or their organizations, i.e. a specific budget for the Task Force is not provided by the AAA.
