New Delhi Leading accounting firm KPMG on Friday said the existing management of beleaguered Satyam Computer Services should go and the government take control of the company board to save the image of India Inc.

"This current management needs to go because it's not possible that they are not involved in this (financial fraud).

They should go, bring in an interim management quickly in place," KPMG Chief Operating Officer Richard Rekhy said in New Delhi.

When asked whether he is suggesting that the government should supersede the board and take control of it, he said, "They need to. I mean this is the time because the image of the corporate India is at stake, the image of India at stake.

"Now the promoter is gone. The department of Company Affairs should come together and put an interim management," he said.

He, however, said that it is a "stray incident" and does not apply to all corporates.

Rekhy also said, "If you have seen Raju's letter, he has got 185 fortune 500 companies he is servicing. That means there is a default on those clients. We need to ensure that those clients are serviced and those client can only be serviced if the business continues."

He added that the company's business should be allowed to run quickly, along with investigation, as the jobs of 50,000 employees are at stake.

Untruth is now to be replaced by truth. Disgraced Corporate can not be allowed to disgrace the entire nation. All actions should be taken to cleanse then mess.Govt has already moved in the right direction in suspending the "BOARD'.Auditors should be severely dealt with. Bankers certifications should be investigated. All links to the corruption should be broken down. Investors' confidence should be restored. Nation's pride to be reestablished..
