Above statement is about US companies... in US... about which our majority believes to be 'Transparent' and 'Honest'.....
NOW how many of us are courageous enough to accept the truth that we receive (or received) inaccurate information while 'Auditing' so many national institutions regarding billions of rupees being written off every now and then???
(Funny part of the above referred survey is that 'E&Y' was one of the active party to conduct that survey... which is already undergoing through prosecution for professional wrong doings.)
