ICAI issues show cause notice to Satyam

Mangalore, Jan 20: The Institue of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) Central Council member K Raju on Monday, Jan 19 said he has decided to serve a show cause notice to auditors of the disgraced Satyam Computers.

"ICAI has decided to serve show cause notice to the auditors who have prepared the balance sheet of Satyam Computer," Raju said.
