Is Only PwC Responsible

787 views 4 replies

After the Satyam saga, the auditors PwC were held responsible for the false representation of financial statements. Everybody pointed that auditors are involved in all this. I do aggree that such a big scam cannot be made possible without auditors role in it, but no 1 thought that who else where involved in it. i strictly believe that such things should be stopped before they are occured.

In case of Satyam what was Company Secretary doing? why is he not highlited by media as PwC is being done?. What was the ITO doing when Satyam filed their annual Income return? did the ITO never compared the statements which were inflated from past 7 years? When IT people raid any company they 1st check the cash balance as per  books with the actual cash available. Why was satyam not being checked for.? Satyam showed the profit of 600 crores. If we consider the average rate of tax at 30%, the tax payable comes to 180 crores whereas in reality Satyam did not have money to pay off the tax. How was the tax paid then??? 

Qualified members who are reading this, please correct me if i m wrong 

Friends, i m not taking the favour of PwC but just imagine how will someone feel when his hard earned membership will be taken away. Will the snatching of membership solve the case of Satyam. NO friends. Thank U. www.bijoyrulzz.blogspot.com

Hello. You dont understand. The tax breaks that these companies enjoy, the tax rates are pretty lower and in past none of the IT companies have paid taxes at 30%.

I agree with you that 1 person cannot be responsible for the mess (similarly the case of Raju when he says noone else is responsible). But as an auditor of the company, I am sure PWC failed in their duties. You talk to any big accounting firm, they will tell you that it was a big game and it cannot be played without PWC in tow. And now we have people tlking of prosecuting the CAs? Why? Is it that the profits of PWC are enjoyed by the partners? Is it that the audit is given to a partner seeing his credentials? No. An audit is given to PWC. Not to any partner. If we can understand that, we can decide who needs to be taken to tak and to what extent....

I am sure everyone will have their views and they are right in having them...I just put across mine...

thank U Ritesh Sir. My point was just to bring out all the guilties. i never knew the tax benefits enjoyed by this companies. Thank U again

PriceWaterhouseCoopers is appointed as auditors of Satyam by the shareholders in AGM, the balance sheet is signed on behalf of Price Waterhouse, the partners signed the balance sheet are the partners of Lovelock & Levies and not partners of Price Waterhouse or Price Waterhouse Coopers. There is no Price Waterhouse Coopers as a registered audite firm as per ICAI

Satyam fraud is not only of satyam but of all the interested parties so it is a unpardonable fraud and Mr Raju has to be convicted for the same.

but i would also say if he whould have run his mind into right deirection then where would have satyam now you can imagine frnds ??? It is like Ravan who know that he is going to die one day by Shri Ram but still he did wrong acts and finally got the punishment for his wrong doings
