  • India's Satyam Scandal
    Review of Business and Finance Studies Vol. 6, No. 2, 2015, pp. 35-43 ISSN: 2150-3338 (print) ISSN: 2156-8081 (online) www.theIBFR.com INDIA’S SATYAM SCANDAL: EVIDENCE THE TOO LARGE TO INDICT MINDSET OF ACCOUNTING REGULATORS IS A GLOBAL PHENOMENON Kalpana Pai, Texas Wesleyan University Thomas D. Tolleson, Texas Wesleyan University ABSTRACT This paper examines the capture of government regulators using the case of Satyam Computer Services Ltd., one of India’s largest software and services companies, which disclosed a $1.47 billion fraud on its balance sheet on January 7, 2009. The firm, which traded on the New York and Bombay Stock Exchanges, was required to file financial reports with the SEC. Price Waterhouse of India, the local member of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC), served as its auditor. After news of the scandal hit the airwaves, Price Waterhouse of India issued a press release and stated that its audit was conducted in accordance with applicable auditing standards and was supported by sufficient audit evidence. Because Satyam shares were quoted on Wall Street, SEC rules prohibited auditors from having business relations with their clients. U.S. regulators failed to take action against PWC. Is this lack of enforcement related to PWC’s size and the impact that the failure of a Big 4 firm would have on the global financial marketplace? We question whether government regulators have been captured by the key market players in the auditing services market. One outcome of this “capture” is moral hazard, which implies that the Big 4 accounting firms, or their local affiliates, may place less emphasis on quality audits.

  • What Went Wrong with Satyam?
    WHAT WENT WRONG WITH SATYAM? PROFESSOR J. P. SHARMA J.P Sharma, Professor of Law & Corporate governance, Department of Commerce, Delhi School of Economics, University of Delhi WHAT WENT WRONG WITH SATYAM? INTRODUCTION Till about two decades ago corporate governance was relatively an unknown subject. The subject came into prominence in the late 80’s and early 90’s when the corporate sector in many countries was surrounded with problems of questionable corporate policies or unethical practices. Junk Bond fiasco of USA and failure of Maxwell, BCCI and Polypeck in UK resulted in the beginning of codes and standards on corporate governance. The USA, UK and number of other developed countries reacted strongly to the corporate failures and codes & standards on corporate governance came to the centre stage. Enron debacle in 2001 and number of other scandals involving large US companies such as the Tyco, Quest, Global Crossings, the World.Com and the exposure of auditing lacunae, which led to the collapse of the Andersen, triggered the reform process and resulted in the passing of the Public Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act of 2002 known as Sarbanes- Oxley (SOX) Act, 2002 in USA. BACKGROUND On 24th June 1987, Satyam Computer Services Ltd (Popularly known as Satyam) was incorporated by the two brothers, B Rama Raju and B Ramalinga Raju 1, as a private limited company with just 20 employees for providing software development and consultancy services to large corporations (the company got converted into public in 1991). During the year 1996, company promoted four subsidiaries including Satyam Renaissance Consulting Ltd, Satyam Enterprise Solutions Pvt.

  • 172 Satyam Scam: Lessons for Corporate Governance
    IJRESS Volume 2, Issue 12(December 2012) (ISSN 2249-7382) Satyam scam: Lessons for Corporate Governance * Dr Vijay prakash **Monika Srivastava ABSTRACT The Satyam scandal dubbed as India’s Enron is one of the largest accounting frauds in the country’s corporate history. B.Ramalinga Raju, founder and chairman of Satyam Computer Services Ltd., the fourth leading IT services firm, declared on January 7, 2009 that his company had been faking its accounts for years, exaggerating revenues and overstating profits by $1billion. This article examines the Satyam scandal and explains what happened, why and who is to blame. Satyam’s emergence from a local to a global traded conglomerate is traced, followed by the events in the aftermath of the scandal. The paper concludes with the proposed regulatory prescriptions encapsulated by the new code created by India’s Ministry of Corporate Affairs, with suggestions proposed by the Parliamentary Standing Committee. These prescriptions are likely to be introduced in the impending Budget session of Parliament .They relate to the functioning of independent directors, enhanced pace of disclosures, conduct of audit and improved transparency in governance mechanisms. Keywords: Corporate Governance, Satyam Computer Services Ltd., Price Waterhouse, scandal Introduction By Ramalinga Raju , founder and chairman of Satyam Computer Services Ltd., saying publicly on January 7 2009, that his firm had been misrepresenting revenues and overstating profits by $1billion,is a case of corporate mis-governance and accounting malpractice. Specifically, Ramalinga Raju(Raju) admitted that Satyam’s balance sheet included .7,136 crore(almost $1.5billion) in non-existent cash and bank balances, accumulated interest and misstatements.

  • Essays on the Financial Crisis and Globalization Introduction
    Essays on the Financial Crisis and Globalization Nirvikar Singh Professor of Economics University of California, Santa Cruz September 2009 Introduction We have certainly been living in interesting times. While avoiding the worst connotations of that concept (no global war or other catastrophe), we have seen the fall of communism, the rise of information technology, and the beginnings of a shift in the global economic balance, back toward the days before the industrial revolution, when Asia carried as much economic and political weight as the West. All three trends – the ostensible triumph of capitalism, the innovations wrought by digital technologies, and the growth of China and (to some extent) India – in some ways came to a head in the current financial crisis. The crisis was sudden, and at one stage seemed that it would engulf the world economy in depression and even chaos. It prompted some fevered writing, by journalists in particular. For my part, writing fortnightly columns for Indian financial dailies (first the Financial Express, then The Mint), I have seen my role as bringing analytical economic thought to bear on understanding current events. A column gives one some freedom to opine, but also imposes disciplines of concision and clarity, beyond the usual requirements of academia. The following dozen pieces were written between September 2007 and April 2009. They comment on the reasons for the crisis, and possible solutions, using economic theory to understand the issues wherever possible, but in relatively non-technical language. What keeps markets working well? What do financial markets accomplish, at a fundamental level? Why do markets fail? Why do scandals arise? What can regulators do to improve matters? I have tried to shed light on these basic questions in the context of current events.

  • Trio Fraud Manual.Pdf
    Trio Fraud Manual Victims of Financial Fraud (VOFF Inc) January 2018 VOFF’s response to ASIC’s failures concerning the disappearance of superannuation and investment savings from the Australian financial system ASIC say there are no unresolved issues around the Trio Capital Limited fraud. VOFF strongly disagree. ASIC’s website states that its role is, ‘…. an independent Commonwealth Government body. We are set up under and administer the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Act 2001 (ASIC Act), and we carry out most of our work under the Corporations Act 2001 (Corporations Act). VOFF allege that in regards to the largest superannuation fraud in Australian history, ASIC was directed by the office of Minister of Superannuation, Bill Shorten to prosecute the financial advisor that had recommended Trio products to the Australian Workers Union ‘slush fund’. Little attention was paid to the international architects of the Trio fraud while much attention was placed on Enforceable Undertakings.
