The extension will remain in effect until a new Managing Director and CEO is appointed and assumes charge, whichever is earlier, the bank said.

Reduce time lag between financial results and annual reports: Sebi to CFOs
Markets regulator Sebi on Friday urged Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) to reduce the time lag between the announcement of financial results and the publication of full annual reports, which is aimed at enhancing investors' confidence. Additionally, CFOs have been encouraged to deepen their engagement with audit committees and auditors, ensuring more collaborative and accountable financial disclosures, Sebi Whole Time Member Ananth Narayan said at an event here. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Elegant New Scooters For Seniors In 2024: The Prices May Surprise You Mobility Scooter | Search Ads Learn More Undo Apart from highlighting the vital role CFOs play in upholding public trust, Narayan spoke about recent trends in capital formation, the opportunities and risks ahead, and the importance of co-creating effective regulations to foster sustained capital growth . "Currently, the gap between annual results and full annual reports ranges between 70-140 days. The full report with notes to accounts, internal controls report, audit key matters, and CARO (Companies Auditor's Report Order) disclosures is vastly more informative. Shortening this gap would significantly enhance transparency for investors," he added. At the ETCFO NextGen 2025 event on Friday, he stressed the need for CFOs to facilitate audit committees and auditors in shaping the audit plan for the year and suggested that auditors should participate in audit committee meetings beyond just discussing their specific items. Live Events This, he further said, would help boost trust and open more channels of communication among stakeholders. According to Narayan, the role of the CFO has evolved dramatically from being a record-keeper to becoming a forward-looking value architect. "When you (CFO) sign off on financial statements , it's not a routine formality. It's a solemn promise that what's presented is a true and fair view of the enterprise's financial health. That promise is the bedrock of capital markets. If that trust is broken, the damage can be immense," he added. He stressed that CFOs must go beyond mere compliance with accounting standards and embrace their underlying principles, not just the letter, but the spirit of the law. Narayan pointed out the rapid growth of India's securities market ecosystem, which has expanded from 4.2 crore unique investors in March 2020 to 13 crore at present. Mutual funds alone account for 6 crore unique investors, nearly triple the number from six years ago. In FY 2024-25, mutual funds mobilised a record Rs 6 lakh crore in equity-oriented risk-seeking funds. Also, FPIs held Rs 71 lakh crore in equity assets in India as of May 2025. At the same time, he emphasised the importance of safeguarding investor trust. He cautioned against Type I errors, such as governance failures, tech breakdowns, fraud, and manipulation that can severely damage this trust. Equally, he warned of Type II errors, where excessive regulation might stifle innovation and growth. As AI, automation, and energy-related technological shifts accelerate, nurturing business creation becomes more vital than ever. Unfortunately, Narayan noted, there have been breaches of trust resulting in Type I errors. These include instances of funds being siphoned off from listed entities, sharp accounting practices around asset and investment valuations that mislead the public, and insider trading involving undisclosed information being exploited for personal gain at the expense of retail investors. He also cautioned against the pitfalls of over-regulation, which could lead to Type II errors and hamper genuine capital formation. Narayan called on CFOs and auditors to act as active partners in shaping fair and balanced rules. He pointed out that Sebi's consultative processes, including advisory committees, public consultations, and regulatory working groups, are designed to include expert input, and suggested it might be time for CFOs to formally organise their voices for representation in these forums. Raising concerns about current valuation practices, Narayan said there is a risk or at least a perception of "valuation shopping", where entities seek out the most favourable valuations. "Just as Credit Rating Agencies (CRAs) now disclose rating histories and are held to standards, it may be time for valuers to disclose assumptions, sensitivity ranges, and track records, and be held accountable for egregious deviations," he added.
