In recent years many corporate frauds have rocked the country. Satyam, IL&FS, PNB, DFHL, Fortis, Amrapali to name a few.
A corporate fraud occurs when a company or an entity deliberately changes and conceals sensitive information which then apparently makes it look healthier. Companies adopt various modus-operandi, which may include misinformation in the prospectus, manipulation of accounting records, debt hiding etc. The aspect of falsification of financial information includes false accounting entries, false trades for inflation of profits, disclosure of price sensitive information and showing false transactions which result in attracting more investors and lenders for funding. Corporate Fraud is done knowingly, with the intent to gain an advantage!
As commercial transactions become more complex, the nature of frauds has become very hard to detect. The advancement of technology and scientific development is contributing to the emergence of mass society with a large rank in file and a small controlling elite, encouraging the growth of monopolies, the rise of a managerial class and intricate institutional mechanisms. Historically, frauds were industry specific but today financial frauds esp. have become the greatest menace and are all pervasive. In response, the Indian regulatory regime has evolved to deal with frauds, as it witnessed some big ticket scams like the Satyam fiasco and the recent IL&FS misrepresentation fallout.
