Mahindra feels the speed with which the issue is dealt with could be a factor in salvaging Satyam's image. He however feels that there is a need to ensure that Satyam board is allowed to rectify the situation.
KV Kamath, CII President, said there is a need to examine loopholes in the Audit Regulatory and Accounting Practices. He feels that based on Raju's disclosures it would be inappropriate to doubt other companies’ governance standards. He said corporate
An ICICI Bank Spokesperson said that it doesn’t have any fund-based or non-fund based exposure in Satyam. He said that it has a marginal exposure of about Rs 3 crore on forward contract. He added that Satyam has a deposit in a current account.
