SATYAM Computer Services Ltd, the software exporter at the center of India's biggest fraud inquiry, padded employee numbers to siphon off cash and forged documents to support fake bank deposits, a prosecutor said.
Satyam, India's fourth-largest software provider, had about 33 billion rupees (US$674 million) of "fictitious and non-existent" accounts, public prosecutor K. Ajay Kumar told a hearing for the company's arrested founder, Ramalinga Raju, yesterday. The Hyderabad-based company had about 40,000 employees, short of the 53,000 claimed by Satyam, he said.
India's government is building a case against Raju two weeks after his admission he had falsified earnings sparked a plunge in Satyam's stock. Government-appointed directors plan to hire a financial adviser this week to devise a rescue plan as clients cancel contracts and the company runs short of cash.
The falsified employee data was used to siphon off 200 million rupees a month, CNBC-TV18 reported.
Satyam's state-appointed board has hired KPMG and Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu to restate the accounts after Raju said he'd inflated assets by more than US$1 billion.
