  • RajuIt is too simplistic to believe that the kind of thing that has happened is done by Raju alone.

    KPMG, which audits the accounts of IT majors like Infosys and Wipro, doubted the veracity of the confessional letter written by B Ramalinga Raju, the founder-chairman of Satyam Computer, saying the financial bungling cannot be done only by the head of the Hyderabad-based firm.

    "It defies logic, one is not sure whether there is much more to it than is written in the letter and whether the letter contains all the facts," KPMG Chief Operating Officer Richard Rekhy said here on the sidelines of a CII function.

    It is too simplistic at the moment to believe that the kind of thing that has happened in the company is done by Raju alone, he said.

    "It requires a whole battery of people to advance those accounting entries and credit those because you have to involve other people as well like bankers to get those certificates," he said.

    When asked whether Raju might have siphoned off funds and he is now admitting to lesser crime, he said it is quite possible but it could be known only after investigation of group companies.

    Rekhy said investigation of Satyam companies should be done in such a way it should not hamper the business of IT major. He emphasised the need of an oversight agency for auditors.

    WHAT FURTHERBy: G Murali Mohana Rao | 10-Jan-2009 Reply | Forward The investors invest for the development and prosperity of any industry. Mostly they are attracted towards the advertisements and projections made by the industry. The employees dedicate their sincere services for profitable productivity. Further the name and the fame of the industry/establishment will reach every corner of the globe when the corporate executives and the board of directors contribute their wisdom for the purpose.The corporate frauds, in no time, swallow the energy, employment fame, name and what not from the investors and the employees!Hence the Government must look after the investors’ and the employees’ care as normal as, till the enquiry/probe is completed ensuring the productivity is not suffered.
