i think your proposed requirements would be on top of existing regulations, so they would also create a lot of additional work for lawyers and accountants.

it might be that what stands behind Enron and other bubbles is a decrease in the rates of profit : and so it goes that people put stuff into more and more risky schemes in order to maintain expected growth targets; in order to do so they have to hack/find ways around existing regulations, but we know that you can hack any system of rules ;-)

All that might also be true for internet businesses : we had a big growth in tech business over the previous decades, but now it might get increasingly difficult to achieve the same rates of return (or not).
