It has been found that Satyam’s auditor, PwC handed over an incorrect PAN to the company. The information was confirmed by ICAI. The authority also said that a ‘disciplinary action’ might soon come up against the auditors; which can involve license cancellation.
However, a fresh case cannot be filed immediately as the proceedings of the previous one are already occurring.
Also, ICAI is preparing for issuing notices to Ramakrishna P, Talluri Srinivas and S Gopalakrishnan for partnering with PwC, when they already are partners with Lovelock & Lewes (this was acquired by PwC a decade back). Though the employees of the latter are considered to be part of PwC but the acquired firm operated under a different PAN.
