by Arvind Kumar Gupta
Categories: Other Laws
Publisher: Bharat Law House Pvt Ltd
About Book:

Any major corporate fraud affects society at large which not only includes shareholders, creditors, bankers but also general public. Therefore, it was important to develop a mechanism which is not only fair but can also act as a deterrent. Enactment of the Companies Act, 2013 has brought in some major changes in the Regulatory Framework of Corporate Affairs in India. An important focus of the Act has been to curb economic frauds in India. For this purpose, Chapter XIV of the Companies Act has established the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) and has provided powers and procedures for investigation by SFIO.

Prior to statutory establishment of SFIO, the economic frauds were dealt by Police Authorities. The legislative framework and the resources available to Police Authorities were inadequate to tackle complex commercial criminal offences. Serious Fraud Investigation Office has been established with resources such as Computer Forensic and Data Mining Lab (CFDML), comprising of experts drawn from various fields and with enabling provisions in the Companies Act, they are able to effectively, quickly and comprehensively investigateand prosecute “Corporate Frauds”.

Investigations and Prosecutions by Serious Fraud Investigation Office is a major departure from the Ordinary System of Police Investigations and Criminal Trials. This book aims to discuss the salient points relating to Law and Practice of SFIO Investigations along with recent case law in this regard. Further, the book also aims to educate the reader about important differences and departures from traditional criminal law framework.
