What did Ramalinga Raju do?
• Inflated revenues and profits.

• Inflated cash and bank balance by
  Rs 5040 crores.

• Claimed interest of Rs 376 crores on a
  non-existent investment.

• Understated liabilities of Rs 1230 crores on
  account of funds arranged by him.

• Overstated clients (Debtors) by 490 crores.

• The fraudulent entries add up to Rs 7136
  crores
As Raju's stake in the company had dwindled to
3.6 per cent and that of Foreign Institutional
Investors increasing. Raju was under pressure to
protect stock prices to retain the investors. The
route he took: show non-existent cash and
inflated profits.
Why did he confess?
• He had created fake accounts and assets.
  The gap between the fake accounts and the
  real one was expanding too quickly.


• As his stake fell in the company, he realized
  the company was going to become a
  takeover target. This would create
  problems: when a buyer went through his
  books he would find the fake assets.
How did he get away for so long?


• Auditors pricewater house coopers did not
  scrutinize the accounts vigorously.
• Independent directors of the boards didn’t
  grill the management.
• Institutional shareholders didn’t complain as
  long as market was booming and the returns
  were good.
• He has kept his own executives in the dark.
Impact of Satyam fraud

• Market credibility and reputation affected.

• Loss of customer & investor confidence due
  to failure in management & corporate
  governance.

• The National Stock Exchange removed
  Satyam from its benchmark index Nifty.

• It has left lakhs of investors and 53,000
  employees, auditors, banker out in cold.
