Satyam Scandal Background
Satyam Computer Services began to be investigated in February of 2008 after it was reported that the company had been banned from doing business with the World Bank due to the lack of a paper trail in its accounting. As the investigation continued, Satyam CEO Ramalinga Raju confessed that he had inflated profits and minimized debts to create a $1 billion fictitious increase in the company's value.Satyam: Raju letter
