Punjab National Bank today said it did not consider the bid of global firm PwC for forensic audit of accounts of Nirav Modi, accused in Rs 11,400 crore scam, in view of Sebi\u2019s order against the audit firm.<\/p>\n
Finding Price Waterhouse guilty in the multi-crore Satyam scam, Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) in January had barred its network entities from issuing audit certificates to any listed company in India for two years.<\/p>\n
In reply to clarifications sought by stock exchanges, PNB said it has initiated the process of assigning forensic audit in the accounts of Nirav Modi Group and bids were invited from major audit firms.<\/p>\n
\u201cBid from M\/s PwC was also received but in view of Sebi order dated Janaury 10, 2018 the same has not been considered,\u201d the country\u2019s second largest bank said.<\/p>\n
The bank further said that it is finalising the forensic audit allocation amongst the remaining bidders as per the Central Vigilance Commissions (CVC) guidelines.<\/p>\n
The bank also denied reports that details of debit and credit cards of its thousands of customers have been leaked.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo card data breach has been detected in PNB\u2019s infrastructure. Bank\u2019s security infrastructure is strong enough and bank has taken all necessary technological steps to safeguard customer data,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
PNB said that it has a board approved cyber crisis management plan in place which takes care of all aspects of customer protection.<\/p>\n
Earlier, PNB reported that it has been defrauded of Rs 11,400 crore by jewellery designer Nirav Modi and associates in connivance of certain bank officials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
