India to examine role of Satyam auditors, directors

NEW DELHI, Jan 7 (Reuters) – India’s government will examine the role of Satyam’s auditors and directors, after its chairman resigned and said the company profits had been inflated, the federal company affairs minister said on Wednesday.

“Anybody found guilty will be dealt with accordingly,” Prem Chand Gupta told reporters.

A spokeswoman for Satyam’s auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers, could not comment immediately.
