The CBI on Monday opposed the bail plea of Price Waterhouse auditor Mr Srinivas Talluri who was arrested in Satyam fraud case for allegedly conniving with its founder Mr B Ramalinga Raju and other aides. Additional Solicitor General, Mr Harin Raval told a Bench headed by the Chief Justice, Mr K G Balakrishnan that Mr Talluri was part of the conspiracy in the entire fraud.
A local court in Hyderabad adjourned on Wednesday framing of charges against multi-crore Satyam case accused, including IT firm’s former chairman B Ramalinga Raju ,to January 20. The case relating to hearing of framing of charges was pending in the XIV additional chief metropolitan magistrate as defence counsels had urged the court to hand over the documents relating to supplementary charge-sheet after its physical verification with original documents.
The mammoth fraud at IT major Satyam, involving over Rs 14,000 crore as per CBI, proved to be the most brazen swindling act, forcing the government to re-write corporate governance rules during 2009 and tighten the norms for chartered accountants. While the investigating agencies had a tough time going through voluminous documents to get to the extent of the scam and uncover the modus-operandi of the fraud, disclosed by the company’s founder and then chief B Ramalinga Raju himself in January, it could still take quite some time for the courts to punish the guilty.
Further, it has been noticed that enforcement agencies like CBI, Police, Crime Branch etc. have been collecting copies of the various records/documents during the course of their investigation. The originals of such documents maintained either in physical or in electronic form or in both would be required by such enforcement agencies during trial of the case also. In view of the above, it is clarified that if a copy is taken by such enforcement agency either from physical or electronic record then the respective original is to be maintained till the trial or investigation proceedings have concluded.
Further, as per regulation 18 of SEBI (Stock Brokers & Sub-brokers) Regulations, 1992 (hereinafter referred to as Stock Broker Regulations), every stock broker shall preserve the specified books of account and other records for a minimum period of five years. In case such documents are maintained in electronic form, provisions of Information Technology Act, 2000 in this regard shall be complied with.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which is probing the multi-crore Satyam accounting fraud, has given a clean chit to PricewaterhouseCoop ers (PwC), the firm’s erstwhile statutory auditors. The CBI, in its supplementary chargesheet filed on November 24 at the XIV Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court, revealed that the auditors S Gopalkrishnan and Srinivas Talluri, were employees of Lovelock & Lewes (L&L) and that the remuneration, which Satyam paid to the auditors, reached the accounts of L&L instead of PwC, which was appointed as the statutory auditor in 2001.
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.
Mahindra Satyam on Wednesday said its financials are not necessarily, even as investors were roiled by reports that the accounting fraud in the company could be double the initial estimate of Rs 7,800 crore. “The company wishes to point out to investors that reported allegations regarding the magnitude of investor harm or historical misstatements in the company’s accounting records do not necessarily shed light on the present financial position and liabilities of the company,” Mahindra Satyam said in a statement here.
India’s notorious Satyam Computer Services scandal has taken a turn for the worse, with the country’s Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) laying new charges against 10 defendants regarding fake invoices, inflated revenues, unauthorised loans and attempted cover ups.
