This document provides a summary of the Satyam scandal that occurred in 2009. It describes Satyam as a large Indian IT company with over 50,000 employees that was found to have falsified its accounts through inflated cash balances, revenues, and profits. The scandal came to light when Satyam's Chairman, B. Ramalinga Raju, confessed to the board that the company's accounts had been falsified, with a total discrepancy of over 7,000 crore (71.36 billion) rupees. This led to a huge fall in Satyam's share price and damage to investor confidence. The Indian government took steps to rescue Satyam and tighten corporate governance rules to prevent such frauds in the future.

FINAL WORDS

18. INDIA’S STEP TO SAVE SATYAM
 The Indian Government had stated that it may provide
temporary direct or indirect liquidity support to the company.
 Satyam is seeking bank loans to help cover salaries and other
operating expenses
 On 5 February 2009, the six-member board appointed by the
Government of India named A. S. Murthy as the new CEO of
the firm with immediate effect. Murthy, an electrical
engineer, has been with Satyam since January 1994 and was
heading the Global Delivery Section before being appointed as
CEO of the company. The two-day-long board meeting also
appointed Homi Khusrokhan (formerly with Tata Chemicals)
and Partho Datta, a Chartered Accountant as special advisors.

19.  Satyam’s fraud spurred the government of India to tighten
corporate norms to prevent recurrence of similar frauds in
future. The government took action to protect the interest of
the investors and safeguard the credibility of India and the
nation’s image across the world.
 It has forced the government to re‐write corporate
governance rules and tighten the norms for chartered
accountants.
 The Committee therefore recommends that a qualified and
independent audit committee should be set up by the board of
a company. This would go a long way in enhancing the
credibility of the financial disclosures of a company and
promoting transparency
