THE MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE

Corporate governance Comparison with similar cases

Role of Auditor
According to law there should be an external and an internal auditor(can be outsourced) Job is to check whether processes are being followed and are accurate and adequate One of the key audit test is to validate firm s cash and bank balances(what was PwC doing)

Dec 05 - RBI bars PwC from bank audits after it found that the firm under-provided for non-performing assets of Global Trust Bank Mar 06 - Out of court settlement with shareholders of Internet Company E-district Mar 07 - Raid by Russian Ministry in criminal cases related to oil firm OAO Yukos July 07 - Paid $225 million to shareholders of Tyco international after proved guilty of accounting fraud July 08 - Facing a probe at Scottish Mineral water subsidiary for inability to spot $90 m fraud

And Now the Satyam

In the trap..PwC
One of the big four Auditors world wide ( Revenues of $28 Bn) Arthur Andersen(child of PwC) & Enron -Year 2001-02 Evading Income tax & Service tax in at least two cases of tax evasion. Imp thing to note that How could PwC have no clue of inflation of Balance sheet to 5,040 crores since yrs and DSP ML realizing it in less than 2 weeks

In the News..

Satyam-Maytas deal: A mockery of corporate governance


CG is about promoting corporate fairness, transparency and accountability.
Corporate governance makes the whole structure of the company more accountable towards each stakeholder, whether it is majority or minority. Practice of corporate governance is to make the proper disclosure to the stakeholders about each strategic decision so that stakeholders and market can reward the good decisions and punish the bad decisions.

Contd
First of all, the decision was not announced taking into confidence all the stakeholders of the company. Secondly, the twin Maytas companies are being the companies run by the family members of Ramalinga Raju only and it was told that his two sons are major interested party in the twin companies. Thirdly, the deal would have made the cash reach company Satyam into a debt ridden company as it s entire holding of $1.3 billion cash would have gone to Maytas Properties (where promoters were 100 per cent holding) and in Maytas Infrastructures.

Contd
Fourthly, Ramalinga Raju was holding only 8.5 per cent stake of Satyam computer so how can he take decisions of transferring its cash to a company owned by his son without asking the rest of the 91.5 per cent stake holders?
Fifthly, in the name of diversification from software to entirely new area of reality why has a relatively new company Maytas been chosen when several other big players are still there? Sixthly, is it really time to go for shopping in a sector where the economic slowdown is at its severest form?
