After the fall: Indian stockmarkets
Article Abstract:
The Bombay Stock exchange fell drastically after it was revealed that brokers were diverting large amounts of money from state-owned banks into their own, thus inflating stock prices. Bank transactions are entered by hand, with transactions not computerized, so reconciliations are not immediate, allowing great potential for fraud.
