The special committee will headed by ICAI Vice-President Uttam Prakash Aggarwal .
ICAI council members
S L Dogra, Amarjeet Chopra;
Subodh Aggarwal ;
Akshay Gupta ;&
K R Maheshwari, a banker and chartered accountant.
Government asked the Serious Frauds Investigation Office (SFIO)-- a body set up to crack complex white collar crimes-- to probe the financial
irregularities in Satyam Computer Services and report its findings in three months.
This decision to refer Satyam to SFIO is based on the recommendation of the Registrar of Companies (RoC) in Hyderabad, who inspected the
books of Satyam which were being fudged for the past 7 years.
Raju was arrested on charges of cheating, fraud and and other criminal charges under various sections of Indian Penal Code (IPC).
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) officials came to Hyderabad to investigate the entire scam, but they could not do so as Raju
was in the custody of CID.
The former chief executive officer (CEO) of Satyam Computers, Raju and his younger brother Rama Raju were remanded to judicial custody by

as it is also main source of foreign exchange
for the country and drives economic growth
of a country.

To safeguard the Interest of small investors,

So that faith can be restored in the market
again.

To take care of the employees working in

Satyam. As it was never their fault for
whatever happened. Their job has to be
secured by the Govt. that too in economic
recession time.

Steps Taken After Satyam

making it compulsory for promoters of companies to
disclose the percentage of shares pledged by them to
lenders

takeover, giving hope and future to Satyams 45,00050,000 employees. A moment of truth for Satyam and a
victory for the government and the regulators.
