Zee Media Corporation / Forensic Accounting

The Zee group has arguably been a frontliner news for most of the past week. Led by Subhash Chandra Goenka's Essel Group, Zee companies have been bearing a brunt recently of several potential malpractices. We had already saw how shareholder activism has gained prominence in the country through <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/insights/vedanta-delisting-failure-the-upsurge-of-shareholder-activism-in-india" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="insights:44110" rel="noopener">Vedanta Delisting Failure: The Upsurge of Shareholder Activism in India?</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/insights/jspl-shareholder-activism-gains-credence" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="insights:51954" rel="noopener">JSPL- Shareholder Activism Gains Credence</a>. 
Latest shareholder activism surrounding the group especially <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/zee-entertainment-enterprises" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:19466:1" rel="noopener">Zee Entertainment Enterprises (Z IN)</a> was another high-profile case, but a more salty one compared to earlier examples, mainly because of the suddenness and the underlying reasons. The shareholder activism and non-tolerance of the investors was one of the key reasons which possibly triggered the merger.

In this insight, we do not dwell on the recent activism and related story of Zee Entertainment, but a hidden skeleton pertaining to <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/zee-media-corporation-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:8000:1" rel="noopener">Zee Media Corporation (ZEEN IN)</a>. which has a plausible connection to the promoters.
The reason why this is important is that Zee Media  is another prominent group company and according to some media articles, Zee Media might be one of the next companies in which promoters might face ire in form of activism.
