listed are taken within 7 working days of finalization of basis of allotment.
RECOMMENDATIONS ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

senior management of company.
o Mandatory review by audit committees of listed companies
o Companies raising money through a public issue should disclose to the audit
committee, the uses and applications of funds by major category on a quarterly
basis.
Evaluation Of SEBI’ s Performance
o Enhancing disclosures
o In most case only the minimum information required under the Companies Act is
made available
o The manner in which the swap ratio is fixed and what the management thinks of
the same is largely taken for granted.
o valuation reports are made available for inspection, but access is not easy for all
investors.
Inability To Utilize The Existing Powers Effectively
o SEBI could initiate prosecution proceedings on insider trading only in one case
and seven cases on fraudulent and unfair practices.
o Only in seven of the 181 cases, SEBI resorted to cancellation of registration
during the last four years.
o Though SEBI has the power to impose a penalty of Rs 1.50 lakhs every time a
person fails to furnish the requisite information, but rarely has this power has been
exercised by it .
o The provision for mandatory punishment of imprisonment in addition to award
for penalty has scarcely has been used.
Quality Of Decisions
6. o What is worrying is the poor rate of conviction in major cases. Virtually every
SEBI decision involving major cases — such as Sterlite, BPL, Videocon, Anand
Rathi and Associates and Hindustan Lever — has been overturned by the appeals
process (or the Securities Appellate Tribunal).
o Accounting, audit quality
o The plethora of inter-corporate investments, intra-company and intra-group
transactions, guarantees and contingent liabilities are areas where there is room
for considerable concern.
Price Manipulation — No Dent :
o Price manipulation, informed trading and insider trading with key
operators/investors is now routine. This is an area that is difficult to tackle for any
regulator. But over the last ten years, SEBI has taken action on such price
manipulation in just two cases (Bayer ABS and Amara Raja Batteries). Here, too,
the penal action has hardly been stringent
o Enticing ads and investor risk
o Advertisement sans indication of performance by mutual funds has continued
regardless of the SEBI guidelines on this.
o The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) is being blamed for lack of
alertness and poor risk-management measures with regard to the automated
lending and borrowing mechanism.
Failures
Change In Market
o The complete transformation of the trading, clearing and settlement infrastructure
o Dramatic transformation to a paperless market and transparent trading system. All
trades on the National Stock Exchange are settled in demat (paperless mode).
o By also moving towards rolling settlement (albeit after a considerable and
unnecessary delay), cutting the settlement cycle and now going forward towards a
T+1 settlement system, SEBI has made the markets much safer for investors
Takeover Code Failures
o The SEBI has not been given the sweeping powers to directly tackle the
wrongdoers (many of whom have surfaced during the five-year timeframe when
the committee was deliberating on the issue) on the takeover front.
o The creeping acquisition limit will be applicable for the financial year, against the
earlier practice where a company couldn't exceed the creeping acquisition limit in
any one-year time frame.
o SEBI has almost always been found lacking in the legal foundations of its action
against defaulting corporates.
