Enron Corp. in late October named Jeffrey McMahon the energy giant's chief
financial officer, replacing Andrew Fastow, who was ousted amid concerns that
his role in two limited partnerships might have been a conflict of interest.
McMahon, 40, had run the Houston company's industrial markets unit, and between
1998 and 2000 was Enron's treasurer.

Fastow, who the company said was on a leave of absence after serving more than
five years as CFO, has sparked a Securities and Exchange Commission
investigation into his running of two limited partnerships that did billions of
dollars' worth of transactions with Enron. An outcry from investors and Wall
Street analysts prompted Fastow to cut ties with the partnerships in July.
