SEC team meets CBI, SEBI, KPMG officials

The Hindu Business Line reported that the United States’ Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) team has held discussions with Mr Ashwani Kumar, CBI Director, and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), on the Rs 7,136-crore Satyam scam at the IT major’s Infocity campus at Madhapur here on Friday.

The three-member SEC team also quizzed auditors of KPMG, which is taking part in the restatement of the balance sheets of the company. KPMG is doing a forensic study on how the scam was perpetrated over the years.

The SEC team, which conducted a preliminary probe in February 2009 soon after the scam broke out, had sought the permission from the Union Government and the CBI to carry out its own investigation into the issue.

Mr Ashwani Kumar, who reviewed the CBI’s probe into the scam, went to the Satyam campus along with his colleagues in the Multi-Discliplinary Investigating Team on Friday. The SEC team reportedly enquired into the role played by PriceWaterhouse, the statutory auditors for Satyam for years during the scam period.
