SATYAM CASE IN VIEW OF

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The whole perception of Corporate Governance was shaken to the very
roots.
Those companies who had already a question mark over their Corporate
Governance were very badly hit.
The realty sector, with its complex land bank valuations had been the worst
hit.
The firms with Satyam in their portfolios are trying to sell other stocks
they held creating a situation in which short sellers reveled and rumors
flew.

Satyam & PWC

The audits were conducted by Price Waterhouse Cooper in
accordance with applicable auditing standards.
As per Satyam's accounts, vetted by Price Waterhouse, auditors
were paid Rs 3.73 crore during 2007-08 as against Rs 3.67 crore in
the previous fiscal.
Credibility of audit firms has come into question as the amount was
too big for any audit firm not to notice. If the audit firm claims that
they didnt know about then their capabilities would come under the
scanner,

 A fallout of the Satyam case is the issue of delays involved in

enforcement of Indian corporate laws.
Shareholders should ensure that the composition of Board of
Directors is a balanced mix of independent directors and
management appointees.
Ties between the company management and auditors and
independent directors need to be cut.

 Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), has called for

peer reviews of audits among the companies that are part of
the Nifty and Sensex indices.
Regulation and transparency can only serve to lower the
incidences of fraud.

 Damage to India's appeal for foreign investors and the IT

IMPACT
ON 'BRAND INDIA
services industry.
IMPACT ON IT INDUSTRIES:
It greatly affected the Indian IT sector.
The impact is short-term.
The bluest of blue-chip reputations [such as] Infosys and TCS"
could actually gain in the current environment, because of a
potential "flight to quality" among client companies. The thirdtier and weaker companies will probably undergo a lot more.
IMPACT ON INDIAN ECONOMY:
Minimal effect on Indian economy as it was an isolated
incident.
