IL&FS crisis: Sebi expands probe into role of 5 credit rating agencies

Market regulator Sebi has expanded its probe into the role of five credit rating agencies after a forensic audit mandated by the new board of crisis-ridden IL&FS flagged serious lapses and their possible complicity with the former top brass of the group in giving top ratings despite weak financials. While CEOs of two rating agencies have already been forced to go on leave pending completion of the probe on the advice of Sebi, officials said the regulator is now looking into possible systemic lapses at all five rating agencies and also into the role of multiple people suspected to have intentionally manipulated the rating procedures. The special audit conducted by Grant Thornton found that its review of emails exchanged by the former key executives of Infrastructure Leasing and Financial Services (IL&FS) group and the top officials of rating agencies showed that they were aware of the serious liquidity concerns and weakening financials of the group.

The rating agency also defended its rating process, saying its ratings for IL&FS group entities followed a robust and transparent analysis of relevant information including the company's audited financial statements and sought to shift the blame to falsification and sprucing up of the financials by the former top management of the group. It rejected the observations made in a special audit by Grant Thornton of the ratings given by five credit rating agencies, including India Ratings, to some IL&FS entities, in which it has been alleged that the agencies continued to give top ratings despite being aware about weak financials of the group.
