SEBI found that Man Industries (India) Ltd. and its directors misrepresented financial statements (non-consolidation of subsidiary accounts, undisclosed related-party transactions, and fund rotation) between FY2015–16 and FY2020–21
As a result, the company and three executives have been barred from the securities market for 2 years and fined a total of ₹25 lakh each.
Example - level of innovative fraud: The allegation is that MIIL had recorded a cheque on hand as on 31st March 2020 against interest receivable of ₹1,150.49 lakhs, based on cheque no. 387925 issued by MSPL and bank overdraft in the books of MSPL. However, the cheque was never realized and was subsequently reversed in the books on 30th June 2020. Thereafter, fresh payments were made by MSPL only between 20th June 2020 and 24th July 2020.
Non-consolidation of subsidiary accounts – MIIL failed to consolidate the financials of its 100% subsidiary - Merino Shelters Pvt. Ltd. (MSPL) from FY2015–16 to FY2020–21, thereby misrepresenting its financial results.
Diversion and rotation of funds – Loans advanced by MIIL to MSPL were routed further to other group companies
Loans of ₹5,641 lakh to MSPL were converted into “capital advance” without audit committee approval.
Loans were extended to related entities like LCPL without proper approvals.
MIIL did not record interest on loans given to MSPL, contravening accounting standards and Companies Act norms.
Writing off inter-corporate deposits (~₹40 crore) without proper compliance.
Many more…
My idea is to list all fraudulent companies in this thread to create awareness to self and for vp friend.
