Scott D. Sullivan was an American Certified Public Accountant and the Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, and Secretary of WorldCom engineered WorldCom's $11-billion accounting fraud, the largest scandal of its kind in U.S. history.

Sullivan entered a guilty plea and was sentenced to five years in prison as part of a plea agreement in which Sullivan testified against former WorldCom CEO Bernard Ebbers, who received a 25-year sentence (the maximum sentence that Sullivan could have received if he had not accepted the plea agreement and was found guilty).
