‘Ethical Employees,’ the whistleblower group that claimed Infosys CEO Salil Parekh had indulged in unethical practices, has, in a mail to the U.S.-based Office of the Whistleblower Protection Program, said that it had enclosed mails and voice recordings but that it had not sent them to the company.

“We have not sent them to the company as our identity would be revealed.
“We are providing additional information to you under the Whistleblower Protection Program,” the mail said. A total of 16 enclosures have been mailed to the office of the Whistleblower Protection Program.
Auditor objections
These include e-mail copies on visa costs, auditors who have noted their objections, voice recordings and another set of e-mails to show how the CEO and CFO wanted “misleading” figures about revenue and profit to be pushed, bypassing auditors.
Another set of e-mails pertain to a deal with an upfront payment and the pressure not take the charge as it would impact profit and stock prices.
The group said voice recordings have instructions from the CEO and the CFO not to present to the board or share important information with the auditors.
Some more enclosures are e-mails on irregularities in revenue recognition in Verizon, ABN, Intel and Japanese joint venture deals and voice recordings by the CFO.
The voice recordings have been enclosed in a pen drive under the subject ‘Truth 1’ and electronic copies of the mail under the subject ‘Truth 2.’
