Five Indian members of PriceWaterhouseCoopers International have been censured by the SEC for their role in missing signals of massive fraud by Satyam Computer Services. That fraud included overstatement of bank accounts by hundreds of millions of dollars from 2006 through 2008 for a total of more than $1 billion in overstated revenue and cash. The fraud was undetected until the company's former chairman confessed in 2009.
