Previous record - Satyam has also been accused of frauds in
2001 and 2003. No importance was given to this.
Getting third party evidence - No bank confirmation on fixed deposits Accrued interest(fixed deposit) Debtors confirmation
Factors overlooked - Changing of accounting years Huge debt despite cash surplus
PwC - Partners in Crime ???
What could have been sensed ?
Excess cash: No distribution among share holders nor
invested to earn valuable interest Operating margin:
Peer companies - 20-25% Satyam - 3%
Recession: Huge profits compared to others always a
chance of creative accounting.
PROBABLE REASONSPRESSURE TO
MEET EXPECTATION
Growing CompetitionThreat of being overtaken
OVERCONFIDENCE On his ability
PERSONAL BENEFITS
Siphoning of fundsSalary of non-existent 13000 employees
“Since about seven years we wanted to show more income in the accounts to avoid others from involving in the company affairs and any possible hostile acquisition.
