The President of India to Give Away the ‘National Corporate Awards’ on the Concluding Day. The Indian corporate sector, which has been growing at a rapid pace in the current decade, has been making significant contribution to the economic development of the country. At the same time, India Inc. is also developing sensitivity to community and social concerns which are a part of the broader national agenda of inclusive and sustainable growth. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has been constantly trying to reposition itself as not only the regulator but also the developer and facilitator of the Indian Corporate Sector.
A man is known by the company he keeps. But with the implementation of the Companies Bill 2009, a single person will constitute a Company, under the One Person Company (OPC) concept.As a structure for professionals, individual entrepreneurs, SMES and NGOs – the proposed Section 171 extends to Section 25 Companies as well – this is a godsend, as it insulates the shareholders personal assets from liability. But one wonders whether this Bill is the right platform or the timing is opportune. There have been too many writings on the Bill and its various dimensions. It is a critical piece of reform, which will be resisted and opposed by many.
While in most of the countries in the world, the top executives are trying to survive their jobs and positions and while this is the first time when maximum CEOs are hated by their shareholders, the independent Directors are trying to run away from their current position. One of the reports of Economic Times says that, since Satyam scandal and Nagarjuna case, “there are over 500 independent directors in India who have resigned from their respective positions on the Board citing reasons ranging from ill-health to work pressures”.
‘Corporate Governance’ — these words have been hitting the headlines of financial magazines for quite some years, particularly post Enron, and in India they have once again triggered debates post Satyam scam. Satyam — this word would no longer be used as an adjective to signify the attribute of truthfulness, but will now be used as a noun to signify systemic failure in history of Indian corporate governance system. Satyam story holds within it, legion of myriad hidden lessons for a spectrum of bodies, from directors to investors and from auditors to regulators.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has decided to put the early-warning system on the backburner due to technical snags.Sources close to the development said the software-based system incorporated ten financial parameters for diagnosing problems in a company which was not giving the desired results.
Consolidated Financial Statements shall be prepared by an entity if it has control over another entity. ‘Control’ under IFRS, being power to govern the financial and operating policies, covers within its purview even those entities that have been excluded under Indian GAAP. This article attempts to analyse the meaning and scope of the term — Potential Voting Rights — when determining control.
Reports have been published in a section of media indicating Shri R.Vasudevan as “Acting Chairman, Company Law Board” or “Company Law Board Chief”. This is factually incorrect as he was never the Acting Chairman of the Company Law Board at any point of time after superannuation of Shri S.Balasubramanian, Chairman, Company Law Board on 2.11.2009. In fact, Shri R.Vasudevan happened to be the junior most Member of the Company Law Board, who joined the Board only on 5.8.2009.
During the last one week’s investigation into the bribery case against Company Law Board (CLB) member R Vasudevan, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has purportedly found that Vasudevan had made enough ill-gotten money. In fresh raids, the agency has recovered cash, FDRs and jewellery worth nearly Rs 1 crore from his residence.
Corporate governance (CG) is one of the most talked about topics in business, indeed in society, today. Google search revealed 513 news citations during a single week in June 2006. Most academics, business professionals, and lay observers would agree that CG is defined as the general set of customs, regulations, habits, and laws that determine to what end a firm should be run.

It is well established position that Articles of a Company are constituent document and are binding on the Company and its Directors. As aforesaid, the intention of Article 57 is that the share capital of the Company remains within the close knit group and nothing more.
