Infosys numbers above board, says Nilekani

Infosys chairman Nandan Nilekani on Tuesday said the company had followed the right procedure in its responses to the recent whistleblower allegations even as he maintained that the speculation of co-founders and former employees being involved in the charges were “appalling” and seems to be aimed at tarnishing the image of some of “the most accomplished and respected individuals”.

Speaking at its annual analyst meeting in Bangalore, Nilekani said every aspect of the allegations would be thoroughly investigated and corrective action, if warranted, would be taken after the probe was completed.

Infosys was hit by allegations of fresh corporate governance lapses, with a set of employees, who called themselves “Ethical Employees”, accusing CEO Salil Parekh and CFO Nilanjan Roy of “unethical practices” to boost revenue and profits and not following the right accounting practices.
