People who work on right principles are unrecognized and considered to be foolish. Corruption in India is a result of the connection between bureaucrats, politicians, businessmen and criminals. Earlier, bribes were paid for getting wrong things done, but now bribe is paid for getting right things done at right time. Corporate sector corruption like less weighing of products, adulteration in edible items, charging high profit margin and bribery of various kinds have incessantly prevailed in the society. Tax evasion is one of the most popular forms of corruption. In municipalities and Nagar Nigams, in the assessment of property tax the officers charge money even if the house is built properly as per Government rules and regulations. Political corruption is the worst in India. The major cause of concern is that corruption is weakening the political body and damaging the supreme importance of the law governing the society. Democracy, state security, rule of law, sovereignty and integrity, basic human rights etc are under the attack of corruption. Today, corruption is not the problem of India but it has become a global threat with global effects; it has become challenge to the whole community of civilized nations. Fighting corruption has emerged as a key development issue in India in recent years. It is said that if corruption levels in India were reduced to levels in developed economies such as Singapore or the United Kingdom, India's GDP growth rate could increase at a higher rate annually. As a result there were no unemployment problem, no poverty and would be more development. Now the time has come that demon like corruption must be killed from the country. Keeping this in mind a little endeavor is being made in this direction to get the solution for the problem of corruption by editing a book. For the purpose, the research papers were called from the different corners of the country. I hole this collection of papers will be useful for the academicians, researchers and policy makers in eliminating the corruption from the country. This book includes the following sub-themes: 1. Impact of Corruption on Economy 2. Corporate Ethics & Corruption 3. Avoidance of double tax agreements and corruption 4. Anti-Corruption Movements & measures 5. Various Kinds of Corruptions and their prevention 6. Role of NGOs/Societies in sensitisation and controlling corruption 7. International Cooperation to tackle Corruption 8.

K. S. Yadav Abstract Corruption is a double jeopardy for the poor, who are hardest hit by economic decline, are most reliant on the provision of public services and are least capable of paying the extra costs associated with bribery, fraud and the misappropriation of economic privileges.This paper provides a study of the current status of corruption in the country, various forms of bribery faced and efforts made by them toward the compliance program. It also talks about the impact of corruption on the economy, sector-wise corruption and how poor enforcement of existing laws has led to corruption. What is interesting to know in the paper are the different ways through which manipulations are done for their short term gains. Keywords: Bribery, bureaucracy, public officials, bureaucracy, lack of penalties for corruption of public officials, Introduction: Corruption can be defined as Wrongdoing on the part of an or through that are illegitimate, immoral or incompatible with. Corruption often from backup and is with. It can result in the diversion of public resources to private consumption and thus in the overall loss of the impacts that were intended to be of wider benefit. Thus it results in social inequality and widened gap between the rich and poor. “An uncorrupted individual in a corrupted system will finally end up being corrupted himself except and unless he is constantly fighting against the corruption.” – Jhurry Muhummad Anas Given the state of India‘s economic development, good governance is absolutely critical to give us a competitive edge and sustain growth. It is becoming increasingly evident that it is impossible to separate good governance and sustainable development. Public opinion suggests that high levels of corruption are associated with lower levels of investment. Corruption invariably increases transaction costs and uncertainty in an economy by lowering efficiency, by forcing entrepreneurs to divert their scarce time and money to bribery rather than production. It inhibits the development of a healthy marketplace and imbalances economic and social development by distorting the rule of law and weakening the institutional foundation on which economic growth depends. Corruption is a double jeopardy for the poor, who are hardest hit by economic decline, are most reliant on the provision of public services and are least capable of paying the extra costs associated with bribery, fraud and the misappropriation of economic privileges.

    My Name Is Vijay Anand, and Am President of 5Th

    www.5thpillar.org My name is Vijay Anand, and am President of 5th Pillar, a citizens‟ coalition against corruption in India. 5th Pillar's objective is to enable and empower every citizen to seek transparency and accountability in governance, catalyze civic participation, facilitate the right to information, all in an effort to curb corruption. The great digital divide in how information is accessed and used in urban vs. rural India has required adoption of a multi- pronged approach. The mission statement of 5th Pillar “Encourage, Enable and Empower Every Citizen of India to Eliminate Corruption” is best understood when placed in the context of the organization‟s grass-roots level anti- corruption initiatives, especially targeted at children in schools, youth in colleges and the villagers of rural India. The ZERO RUPEE NOTE, which has been our primary campaign tool to take our anti-corruption message to every nook and corner of India, has served as a powerful but non-violent weapon of non-cooperation against corruption and bribery. It has served as a connecting fiber among like-minded anti-corruption organizations, whistleblowers and simply citizens who wanted to say NO to bribes without having to spell it out in too many words. The Right to Information Act, passed by the Indian Parliament in 2005, mandates timely response to citizens requests on various aspects of public information with respect to the government's functioning. 5th Pillar‟s RTI awareness program empowers citizens through training programs and workshops on effective use of the “RTI Act”. Citizens use it largely to obtain their rights and avail of their basic services including Ration card, Driving license, Old Age pension, Land ownership title etc.

    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.

  • Stock Market Participation in the Aftermath of an Accounting Scandal

    Stock Market Participation in the Aftermath of an Accounting Scandal

    Stock market participation in the aftermath of an accounting scandal Renuka Sane∗ National Institute of Public Finance and Policy June 2017 Abstract In this paper we study the impact on investor behaviour of fraud revelation. We ask if investors with direct exposure to stock market fraud (treated investors) are more likely to decrease their participation in the stock market than investors with no direct exposure to fraud (control investors)? Using daily investor account holdings data from the National Stock Depository Limited (NSDL), the largest depository in India, we find that treated investors cash out almost 10.6 percentage points of their overall portfolio relative to control investors post the crisis. The cashing out is largely restricted to the bad stock. Over the period of a month, there is no difference in the trading behaviour of the treated and control investors. These results are contrary to those found in mature economies. ∗I thank Jayesh Mehta, Tarun Ramadorai, Ajay Shah, K. V.
