Intertek CG India can not improve, if headed by Mr. Dilip Gianchandani.How senior management bearing him is beyond imgaination. CG complaint may be verified from customer like GAP, UPIM, AEO, Li & Fung and many .No staffs are removed, they left Intertek CG, because of Mr. Dilip Gianchandani.Many are in line to put paper soon from Intertek CG-India. HR is also not taking any action.

Further in this, Navin chopra who was getting 50 lacs CTC still was doing hanky panky. Poor Vivek who is still getting only 12 lacs CTC whereas other TS auditor has crossed 15 lacs! Prodipto Basu is enjoying at 40 lacs CTC. Dileep who was getting 34 lacs was shown the door, BTW, from where these money were coming where there is no revenue? and loosing clientele. Intertek SC india is a "vibareeth" Janthu.
Dileep is planning to file a court case against Intertek and very closely consulting lawyers in Mumbai

Accreditation of Major CDM Auditor, DNV Suspended
The Executive Board (EB) of the UN Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) must have read our recent report, Bad Deal for the Planet or my recent blog - we called for the EB to strip auditors of their accreditation to work for the CDM if they fail to apply the CDM's rules. On Friday at the Board Meeting, the EB came one step closer to doing that - it suspended the accreditation of DNV, an auditor that validates approximately half of the CDM projects that apply for registration. International Rivers is no stranger to the poor performance of DNV.
The official reasons cited by the EB for suspending DNV's accreditation include not assigning staff with the required technical expertise to evaluate projects, lack of internal audits and lack of documentation of decisions for projects. If DNV adequately addresses these issues within the next six months, the suspension will be revoked. Auditors from other companies that were watching the proceedings were visibly upset. Were they worried that they, too, would be penalized for their shoddy work?
International Rivers and our allies have submitted a number of formal comments to the CDM questioning the additionality of hydros undergoing validation by DNV. Examples of these projects that have been positively validated by DNV include El Gallo in Mexico, El Canadá in Guatemala, and Allain Duhangan and Jorethang Loop in India.
We've also submitted comments on clearly non-additional hydro projects being validated by DNV for which they have not yet issued a final opinion: Campos Novos in Brazil, Sondu-Miriu in Kenya and Tala in Bhutan. DNV may have rejected one or more of these projects. One of the problems with the CDM process is that while positive validation reports are listed on the CDM web site, negative reports are not. You can do a search here for the projects validated by DNV that have been registered by the CDM.

Going through the above comments it looks like someone is trying to remove their personal grudge’s on individuals. By doing so they their putting company’s reputation at stake, people who are doing this are not understanding that how many employees might get affected in this bull fight.
I understand that the company has taken appropriate measures to control this situation.
I hope there are “Solution Providers” also on this blog. Any complaint should be directly dealt with the company and resolved rather than this unwanted publicity.
Think of people who are working in the company and how their family/personal life is getting affected with such adverse comments.
Let’s come out with a solution rather than blaming after all we are all responsible professional.

Further to Intertek Group plc’s (Intertek) and Det Norske Veritas (‘DNV’) announcements on 20 November 2009, Intertek and DNV today confirm that they are discontinuing their discussions in relation to the proposed transfer of the vast majority of DNV’s Business Assurance Division to Intertek.
Intertek Group CEO Wolfhart Hauser and DNV CEO Henrik O. Madsen commented jointly:

Dear All
I feel intertek certification body is the best among others who are operating in India.
Unfortunately the Dismissed people from Intertek is unnecessary providing this Blog and trying to tarnish the image of company.
I have been associated with this firm for last several years and found better ethics and practices followed by Managament and auditors.
According to me now it's time for NABCB to verify the other certification bodies.
a) According to every certification body is doing various Quality Inhouse program - where they have done the certification.-- Lots of cases are there with me.
b) Auditors are being a part of doing consulting, where on later date they are doing the auditing - few certification bodies to name TUV- Nord, TUV- SUD, IRQS, BSI, BVQI plus several -- Lots of cases are there with me.
c) Various companies (authorised to do IRCA and RAB) lead auditor program for ISO[protected] and ISO14001 are providing the certificate to people without conducting the programs- I got few cases with me.
C) Most of the certificvation bodies - Expert do the audits
d) Most of them they don't use SIC code auditors for auditing specific industry sector -- It's better for NABCB to audit the actual records rather than seeing the things at surface level
If you allow me to do audit any certification body the things are worst .
The whole above blog, I feel it's only done by few people having ulterior and wrong interest .
I[censored]KAS, RVA, RAB, ANAB, NABCB is really interested in improving the situation, it's better to conduct audit on major player like TUV-NORD, TUV-SUD, BSI, BVQI, IRQS rather than putting good companies like Intertek
Let's all get together and fight against these few people who are against Intertek -- Let's improve the situation in all certification bodies .

It is not dismissed employees trying to tarnish image of company but incompetent and inefficient management of this company who has caused this damage.
One of the reason for suspension of accreditation of Intertek is conducting the audits without technical expert. As corrective action they decided to dismiss few auditors making them scapegoats for the management.
When ever an audit is conducted without expert it is easily identifiable at reviewing centre because the audit report won’t accompany invoice of expert, therefore these audits had been happening with proper knowledge of the management and they has been happily covering it till accreditation body unearthed it.
As per the list taken out, in the year 2009 alone above 200 cases of audits without experts were conducted all over India and almost all auditors with Intertek India were involved. The total number of such non complying audits for the period of 2007, 2008, 2009 could be huge, and if any body had any benefit out of this, it was Intertek only i.e
(1) Intertek had its revenue from conducting audits as scheduled.
(2) Increased profitability as experts need not be paid.
The management decided to cover up their inefficiency and wrong activities and asked few auditors to move out, to show it to the world that Intertek management is clean.
Instead of accepting their mistake management kicked the employees and send them out in all directions who had been serving them with dedication; it is natural that those employees have nothing good to say about the company.
Best thing would have been to accept their mistake and take action in management and spare auditors so that they could have saved business.

I am shocked to find the attitude of the people who worked (Ex-Employee) with INTERTEK. Whatever they are today, it may be due to INTERTEK. I worked around 1 year with INTERTEK and experience is wonderful. People are professional. Mr. Vivekanandan (Chennai) is a hard working, knowledgeable and qulaified Auditor. Mr. Venkataraman & Santhanam - both are very senior experienced persons.
I am obliged to the organization for giving me an opportunity to work and learn. I am sure this is a temp phase and things will improve fast. Wishings all INTERTEK Employees the best.
The only suggestion to the management to get more and more professionals and try to retain them. Auditor like Mukumdan is an asset for the company. I am M.Sc. (Computer Science), CISA, CISM, CISSP with around 20 years of experience of working as senior executive in a very big bank.I enjoyed working with INTERTEK but din't find any motivational efforts from management to retain my services. Don't know why?

I invite comments from all the ex-employees of Intertek - kpmg starting from suresh shah, suhas risbood, Kaustubh korde, vaidya, jaya, naveen and dileep - who were the backbone of erstwhile great certification body called KPMG QR. Intertek due its greediness collapsed and that too having faith in low level Diploma holders, lazy bum like santhanam, old grandpa venkatraman, double gamer mukunthan etc.
As per the list taken out, in the year 2009 alone above 200 cases of audits without experts were conducted all over India and almost all auditors with Intertek India were involved.

(2) Increased profitability as experts need not be paid.
This is very strong evidence against Intertek System certification india management. The greediness of indian partners of intertek. The Punjabi promoter and the black money investors.
When all the auditors have erred, why Prodipto Roy Basu and Vivekanandan were retained whereas releasing four other persons. As per my NGO members investigations, Mr. V S Dileep was very straight forward and he was made to bend and when it was not suiting Mr. Anil Kumar (Ex officio Chairman of Intertek India - the benami investor who was an ordinary CA with Inchcape, which later became Intertek with Swiss unaccounted money investements) he was thrown out.
Why Sunil Crasto who was equally responsible was not dismissed and was actually promoted afterwards!!!
Watch this blogsite - more and more "black" dealings of Intertek India's benami owners activities will be exposed.

The whole strategy of integrating KPMG QR into Intertek India was a short sighted and greedy. First thing Suresh Shah should have been retained. Sending Mr. Shah out, costed Rio-tinto 2 crore/ pa contract. Then Mr. Suhas Risbood should have been made the head. Instead a three member committee was made. Mr. Dileep was playing fantastic politiking between these three. Mr.Navin Chopra was chosen because he is a Punjabi and on dubious merit. Mr.Korde enjoyed travelling to six foreign countries. Mr.Suhas Risbood was making his own Certification body sitting from Mumbai office. Mr.Navin was running his consulting company and part time working for Intertek. The persons who actually toiled Mr. Vaidyanathan, Mr. Vivekanadan and Mr. Jayathirtha were not at all recognized. Mr. Vivekanandan is still not recognised getting INR 12 lacs as CTC titled as "Director". The Goals were Greedy rather than realistic. Good for nothing fellows were sent to guide the show. So, intertek management should blame itself for the present position. Better wind up the System certification for one year, flush out all the existing guys. Re-start the whole process from 2012.

Mr. Pradeep Udhas and Mr. Ian Gomes are the real culprit of this whole episode. KPMG being the auditor of Intertek Plc UK first advised them to buy a profitablle registrar in India looking at their cash. Then they colluded with PwC so that they give a bloated and inaccurate report to Intertek. INR 400 millions were the transfer price with good bonus commissions for Mr. Udhas and Mr. Gomes. Felt Cheated after the deal, Intertek decided to milk the existing executives. They have started loosing clients one by one. Biggest blunder by KPMG and Intertek were not paying Mr. Suresh Shah his bonus of INR 10 million and sending him out in 3 months. Incidentally, the Indian Chairman of Intertek Mr.Anil Kumar's son was employed by KPMG as a kickback arrangement for him so that he keeps quiet. KPMG dumped the division it wanted to closed down on Intertek. During the due diligence process itself, Mr. Suresh Shah guided Mr.Suhas Risbood to put a separate registrar and it was this invisible hand makes Mr.Suhas Risbood's ISO QAR to flourish and it takes all the employees Intertek sends out if they are from erstwhile KPMG QR. It is a fantastic corporate thriller.
As per Indian Supreme court order PwC will be blacklisted in India by SEBI. The Intertek Plc shareholders now should understand the whole shoddy dealings of PwC in this case of conducting due diligence of KPMG's Quality Registrar business and how KPMG's UK bosses, PwC team and insiders of Intertek management team bluffed the shareholders of Intertek Plc UK's shareholders and paid INR 40 million for a business in[protected] which is virtually closed down loosing all the clients and the business. Intertek shareholders should take cognizance of this and punish these offers. Best of Luck
Sundram Fasteners Limited is investigating in detail how KPMG got the contract with SFL Autolec and all the suppliers by Intertek. Erstwhile Associate Director Mr. S Vaidyanathan was instrumental in getting this contract during KPMG's time. He also will be called by the company to co-operate with the investigation since he was the one signed the certification contracts with the SFL suppliers en-mass.
these people are in 'money minting mode' only. sad but true :(
This whole blogsite is managed by erstwhile employees who have formed a certification body based at mumbai - Intertek Anna Hazare
