Experts agree that system of safeguards put in place over years to protect investors and employees from catastrophic corporate implosion largely failed to detect or address problems that felled Enron Corp; say breakdown in checks and balances encompassed company's auditors, lawyers and directors, and extended to groups monitoring Enron from outside, like regulators, financial analysts, credit-rating agencies, media and Congress; company's demise prompts Congress to schedule blizzard of hearings, and seems sure to bring legislative changes as well as sweeping reviews by regulators, accounting and law firms and corporate boards; in Enron's case, questions extend to political influence wielded by company; it could be months before criminal, civil and Congressional investigations unearth all facts of Enron's collapse; much of early attention is focusing on performance of Enron's accounting firm, Arthur Andersen, whose primary function was to assure that company was accurately and completely disclosing its financial results and condition; Andersen gave that assurance in two statements at back of Enron's last annual report; Andersen may have had reason to view Enron through flattering lens, given its symbiotic relationship with company: while acting as Enron's auditor, it was also getting lucrative consulting work from Enron; photos (L)
