ශ්‍රී ලංකා මහා බැංකුවේ නිසි අධීක්ෂණයක් නොමැති වීම මෙරට මූල්‍ය ආයතන කඩාවැටීමට ප්‍රධානතම හේතුවක් බව කඩා වැටුණු සෙන්ට්‍රල් ඉන්වෙස්ට්මන්ට් ඇන්ඩ් ෆිනෑන්ස් ආයතනයේ තැන්පත්කරුවන්ගේ සංගමය පවසයි.
සෙන්ට්‍රල් ඉන්වෙස්ට්න්ට්මන්ට් ඇන්ඩ් ෆිනෑන්ස් ආයතනය (CIFL) බංකොලොත් වීම නිසා එහි රුපියල් බිලියන 3.4 ක් පමන මුදල් ආයෝජනය කල 6000 කට අධික පිරිසක් අද අසරණ වී සිටිති.
පසුගිය දෙසැම්බර් මාසයේ සිට පොලි මුදල් ලබා දීමද අත්හිටුවා ඇති එම ආයතනය ශ්‍රී ලංකා මහා බැංකුවේ මුදල් මණ්ඩලයේ බලපත්‍ර ලාභී මුල්‍ය සමාගමක් ලෙස ලියාපදිංචි ඇති මූල්‍ය ආයතනයකි.
ප්‍රතිව්‍යුහගත කිරීම
මේ සම්බන්ධයෙන් කළ විමසුමකට, මහ බැංකු ප්‍රකාශකයකු සංදේශයට පැවසුවේ සෙන්ට්‍රල් ඉන්වෙස්ට්මන්ට් ඇන්ඩ් ෆිනෑන්ස් ආයතනය (CIFL) ප්‍රතිව්‍යුහගත කිරීමට මේවන විට අවශ්‍ය පියවර ගනිමින් තිබෙන බවයි.

If you were in alert you could have exit in time.

I can't under stand why political do not leaders understand this.

මාගේ පුද්ගලික අදහස නම් මූල්‍ය ආයතන යනු වෙන කරුවත් බලා කියා ගත යුතු මොන්ටිසෝරි නොවන බවයි.

මහජන මුදල් ලබාගැනීමට තරම් ඉහල වත්කමක් හා සුදුසුකමක් ලැබූ ආයතනයක් යනු එසේ මෙසේ එකක් නොවේ. එය පරිපාලනය කල යුත්තේ දෙශයේ ඉහලම පලපුරුද්ද සුදුසුකම් හා දැනුම ඇති අය යි. එසේ නොමැතිනම් එයට මහජන මුදල් ලබා ගැනීමට ඉඩ දිය යුතු නොවේ.
මෙසේ බිහිවන මූල්‍ය ආයතන වල කටයුතු සඳහා තව කාගෙවත් නිරතුරු අධීක්ශනය අවශ්‍ය වේනම් ඉන් අදහස් වන්නෙ ඔවුන් මුල්‍ය කටයුතු පරිපාලනය සඳහා සුදුසු මට්ටමක නැති බවයි. නැතහොත් මෙම මුල්‍යායතන වල නියමුවන් අවස්ථාව ලැබෙනවිට හොරකමේ යෙදෙන්නට බලා සිටින හොරුන් බවයි.

වෙන​=ත් වෘත්තීන් වල යෙදෙන,  සාමන්‍ය වානිජ අවබොධයක් ඇති අපටත් මෙම ආයතන වල මූල්‍ය වාර්තා පිරික්සීමේදී ඔවුන් ගේ ගමන කුමන දිශාවකට දැයි කලින්ම පෙනේ නම්  තම ආයතන පිලිබඳ  පුර්ණ  දැනුමක් හා වගකීමක් ඇති අද්‍යක්‍ෂ වරුන්ට එය නොපෙනේ යයි කිසිසේත් කිව නොහැක​.
අමාරුවේ වට්ටවා ඇති මෙම සියලුම ආයතන එම මට්ටමට වැටුනා නොව මෝඩ හා අදූරදර්ශී පාලනය නිසා හෝ දැන දැනම  ඇස් පනාපිට පෙනි පෙනී හෝ එම මට්ටමට ලඟා කර වූ ඒවාය​.

මෙම තත්ත්වය වැලැක්වීමට නම් කල යුතු එකම දේ අද්‍යක්ශ වරුන් ගේ වගකිය යුතු බව වැඩි කිරීම හා නිවැරදි මූල්‍ය විනයක් සඳහා ස්ථිර නිර්නායක  සැපයීම හා ඒවා පිලි නොපදින ආයතන වහාම මහජන මුදල් වලින් ඉවත් කිරීමය .
එමෙන්ම ඇස් පනා පිට හොරකමේ යෙදුන පුද්ගලයන් ට නිසි දඬුවම් පැමිණවීමය​.

එසේ නොමැතිව හැම එකා කරන හැම දේම රජයෙන් බලා සිටින්න සිදු වේනම් එම ආයතන රජයෙන්ම පාලනය කිරීම වඩා පහසුය​.

එ මෙන්ම කවුරුන් හෝ අසාමන්‍ය ප්‍රතිලාභයක් දෙනවා යැයු කිව් පමනින් තමන් සතු ධනය ඔවුනට පූජා කරන අය එහි ඇති අවදානම ද තමන් ම බාර ගත යුතුය​.

Yes, Finance companies should not be primary level businesses but they are components of entire financial system in the country.
Every private sector business has a initial objective of earning profit as well as persons' in that firm.

You have said government should impose much suitable and stable criteria and stop business which do not comply with them.
However, as I stated before in one of my previous post, governing finance system of a country in a binary methodology can firmly reason to a great failure because survival of financial system of a country mainly depends on people's confidence.

Therefore, must require to monitor the performance of finance companies and prevent them from being bankrupt or any other condition which may influence on faith badly. It's a national requirement to introduce a new frame to this, which allows 'customers' to perform a major role.

I got to know a large finance company in our country had done an abnormal quantity of frauds which is totally material. (Don't ask. I never expose it.) but regulators were unable to capture them before auditors.

I agree with Chinwi.. If central bank has to micro manage all these banks, then there'll not be a time for them for any other business. CIFL directors need to know that they're dealing with the money of common man and for all these mess they should be punished at max for others to learn the aftermath of a fraud at a large magnitude..
However, I want to add this too.. As a responsible and trusted entity Central Banks could at least audit the financial reports and predict this down fall. There should be many intelligent guys in there rite? Or Mr. Nivadu Kabroll is the only one? 

This is a fiasco.. But as a responsible forum we educated our members not to even invest in this IPO.. I remember many members started exposing the frauds and broken promises of this company with facts. It was like a pyramid scheme... They wanted more and more depositors so they could pay the earlier ones.. As the norm, the last to get in were give a sorry face..

Then again.. Haven't we seen the Auditors reports of CIFL? Now u guys need to find out the auditors of this company and what other companies they audit too.. I hope u get my point  

I you continue Chinwi's argument you can say Police Dept is also nor necessary people should know how to behave in society

As far as i know supervisory authorities indirectly support malpractices of financial institutions
This country still not used to modern commercial activities.Most of the people who live in urban areas also actually villagers

We need more govt supervision and strict actions against culprits

CBSL could introduce tough rules with punishment for misuse of funds with finance companies. That will help since I dont think in SL some companies follow code of ethics just like the neighboring countries.

Also like once I suggested my broker, brokering firms can introduce a product to look at quality of earnings of companies. If you look in to few annual reports and quarterly reports of companies many things can be found. Whether you adopt IFRS locally does not mean its going to change. Accounting tactics will less difficult but there will be room to do some under provisioning, aggressive recognition of income etc and still pass the auditors test since it was within limits. Anyways an senior auditor for many years told me that since they want to keep the account with clients even most reputed audit firms ignore certain issues and not dont even add a note until it gets worse. For audit of a large organisation, auditors get more than Rs2mn a year. So companies that are bordering the accounting standard limits should be looked at carefully. There are potential loopholes in standards and thats why they change from time to time.  

Looking at quality of earnings of companies is important. Foreigners look in to this and my last job in this industry in 2008 was when I worked for a hedge fund. (now dont ask me accounting stuff dont remember much now! ) They looked in to quality of earnings of Asian companies that had adopted IFRS so will help in the investing decisions. They looked in to qualitative factors like management background, corporate governance as well not just the accounts. This could be a separate product or separate part of the equity research report. Thats why most foreigners go for companies like JKH since they have transparency and adherence of ethics. Well if you look in to all this will narrow down your options but if you are an investor need to do it.

Access Engineering holding 1 Million Shares since beginning till 30.06.2013.

From 10Rs to 1Rs and still counting...the LOSSES

For Me Government (CBSL) Has to take Full responsibility for the gross negligence on their part for allowing this to happen.
After all past financial companies collapses, CBSL has been putting up various news article educating the public to invest in CBSL registered finance companies.
I am sure CBSL new these issue long time ago, and did not act for some reason we do not know.
What is the supervision and compliance unit of CBSL doing. Those in that seat should be pulled up for not doing their job professionally.
I question their strength and integrity which is the motto of CIFL.
With this people will loose the trust and certification CBSL has on all Banks and Finance companies.

Foe those thinking to BUY CIFL or TWOD shares ......

Now who is the Next Finance Company on the brink of a collapse...

 

I'm going to put my FDs and family members ones when they mature with private banks in the future. Lot of friends and family got issues with these finance companies in the past and present and dont want to be another victim. The issues with Finance companies is like a business cycle, once in few years they are in trouble and loosely regulated. A recently appointed top guy at a finance company was personally known to me he is someone who got fired by a company for failing a drug test sometime back.

Fiance companies also like Insurance companies before establishment

of insurance corporation in 1960s

I do not say these finance companies should be nationalize

CBSL should take action

If present laws not sufficient CBSL must take
action to introduce new laws

Your comments are very usefull for the members.

However, as for the regulators responsibility for strict action against these companies, I have my doubts that any serious action would be taken by them to check this issue. The reasosns are obvious. See what happenned to Indrani and Dr. Karunaratne for trying to fulfill their responsibility fearlessly. The incumbant publickly stated his friendly policy of regulation, akin to cabba's policy of dealing with finance companies. Both are doing all other irrelavant things other than regulation. What a shame.

I agree with Hapu

She (IS) has taken correct action But she never thought the sensitiveness of stock market . Being a  SLAS officer  she thought anything can be control
by issuing a Circulars
Purpose of appointing her may be to give control of SEC to Politically powerful person Who do not know any thing about
stock market. Because her husband  specifically told he do not know any thing about her appointment
But after appointment she learn the subject and took correct action in wrong way. Dr karunaratne  also followed her

Both were  not able to satisfy real appointing authority

Who was real appointment Authority  ?

Hupu must be knowing better than me.

This the history  i think behind the present problem in the share market


Any one can correct me if i am wrong

Basic problem is  authorities of this govt do not understand "STOCK MARKET CONCEPT" PROPERLY

This is high time to understand and take action

Hapu can give a lecture  on this in Sinhala and English
