Whistle blower accuses, Infosys of unethical practices to boost numbers


An anonymous group calling itself, "ethical employees" has complained to the board of Infosys and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) alleging that the company is taking unethical steps to boost short term revenue and profits. Copies of letters sent by the group to both the board of Infosys and the SEC were shared with  ET. In the letter the group alleges that CEO Salil Parekh is bypassing the reviews and approvals for large deals, he (Parekh) directs them to make wrong assumptions to show margin. The letter added that the CEO and CFO Niranjan Roy were pressuring the fiance team to show more profits in their treasury management by taking risks and making changes to policies. They further explained that CFO has not allowed them  to present large deal issues in board presentation. Similarly they ask them to make key disclosure on 20F and annual report and to share only good and incomplete information with investors and analysts. This is a regulatory issue. The letter further stated that the large contracts such as Verizon, Intel, JVS in Japan, ABN AMRO acquisition, revenue recognition matters are not as per accounting standards. Similarly, the letter added that they have mails and voice records and they are ready to share it during investigation. The founder company should properly investigate this and take necessary action against culprit. They should analyze the annual report properly and find the mistake. They can form a audit committee to investigate.
