How to find world writable files? (AIX)

Hi Group,

Could someone tell me how to find world writable files on my server? I can use find command in conjuction with -perm option and I will get an output. But what I need is an output which looks similar to ls -l output. Meaning, it should give me the full path of the file along with the permissions and owership and group that file belongs to.

Thanks.
