This is what Pichai and BJP did and this is how KPMG managed to not get noticed by the appropriate authorities.

    Atleast someone is looking into this and bringing facts out to light. Great work and keep it going. Ordinary citizens (investors in equity or debt or customers or unsuspecting suppliers) are affected by entities that suddenly go bust and then murky truth emerges later of fraud or collusion or negligence or incompetence. This has already affected many and hard earned savings is lost. There is no fear of law or wrong doing in the system that is lax and it is a small gang that gets away with murder. Once everyone is named, shamed and swiftly punished in a fair and transparent way, things could improve and till then, there is not much confidence in the system.

How else can Corporates with huge Debts are given a rating equivalent of the country. The Corporate then raises capital, both here and abroad in foreign exchange. If there is a clear scrutiny of audit of this is carried out scrupulous, it will open up a huge Pandora's box. Thank you again for all your diligent efforts.

    Sucheta is overblowing this. Here's the quote from the report: "Failure to cooperate with a PCAOB inspection, cheating on training exams, signing off on blank work papers, and improper use of an unregistered firm are among a range of violations that occurred from 2016 to 2021. In addition to fines, today’s sanctions include barring or suspending four auditors from participating in public company audits and requiring three KPMG member firms to review and improve as necessary their quality control policies and procedures." 4 Individuals defrauded KPMG's clients and throw the company under the bus. Is it company's fault? Probably not. Was it a Governance failure? Yes it was. Was it a systemic issue? Not likely. These things are normal and mundane.

    Dear mam, kpmg is not allowed to represent themselves as auditors in India. ICAI allows only Indian firms to be auditors. The KPMG, in this present case, is not acting in the capacity of auditors. Instead, these are MBAs, CAs (not acting as auditors). Hence, there is no point of worrying about having any issue for Indian markets. The entities are different. And coming to the point, why the company's name is not provided for which the alleged misconduct happened, PCAOB is not an Indian constitutional body. They may have their standards of work and in most cases are not at the same level as Indian laws. In many cases, names are judicially left out because of the impact it may have to the company. Just imagine, if the company is not at fault and it was only the fault of KPMG for uploading blank workpapper and then replacing it with correct one. Is it fair for the company's name being spoilt? I would suggest you to please highlight the wrong doing and points to make the system better in a structured manner instead of having this rage towards any wrong doing by any multinational or national body.

    1. PCAOB can work as they want, but Indian regulators should look into this. 2. Why would a company who didn’t do any wrong accept their auditor or consultants backdate records using blank papers? Investors need to know which company is this. And, the company can take corrective measures too.
