Infosys CEO settles Indian regulator’s charge of lacking controls to prevent insider trading

India’s No 2 IT services exporter, India’s No 2 IT services exporter, settled charges for violating the country’s market regulator on Thursday ( Jun 27 ), according to the nation’s regulator.

Parekh agreed to pay 2.5 million rupees (around US$ 30, 000 ) to live the markets bank’s command, which related to a lease for Infosys to provide US economic organization Vanguard with a cloud- based record- keeping platform.

Infosys publicly disclosed the deal in 2020, but the Securities and Exchange Board of India stated that the company did not take any of the information into account when determining whether it was published price sensitive information ( UPSI).

Parekh was held accountable for what it thought had been a fall in internal controls to stop insider trading on that offer, but the regulation did not provide more details.

Infosys has since created an internal policy to detect price-sensitive information and request approval from its table and audit committee.

Additionally, it has begun to provide a breakdown of the entire contract value of any offer in terms of average annual revenue in comparison to its annual revenue.
