The session was opened by Dr. T.P. Ghosh- Professor of Finance at IMT Dubai, who gave a brief insight into Mr. Manoharan’s life, and his accomplishments. This was followed by a welcome address by our esteemed Director- Dr. Rakesh Singh.

Mr. Manoharan spoke about the Satyam case- starting from how the fraud was done, to the unethical management , forged records & bills and finally the intervention of the Indian Government in order to mitigate the losses. Being one of the members of the reconstituted  board  of directors of Satyam ,  he gave valuable insights into the concept of fraud management, and factors contributing to fraud.
