Two days ago, on Tuesday, India’s most famous edtech was in the news again. Byju’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Ajay Goyal quit the edtech barely 6 months after joining. It had taken Byju’s 16 months to find Goyal after its previous CFO PV Rao quit in December 2021 .
Goyal was hired only in April this year and had a tough task cut out for him: to help improve the company’s financial compliance is what Byju’s has been in a lot of trouble for. Goyal was to finalize the FY22 accounts and and issue the audited accounts as soon as possible. A little more than a week ago, we also heard news that Byju’s was expected to file the long-awaited financial results for FY22 later that week. But more than 10 days later there is no sign of the financials. Instead the edtech’s CFO who was incharge of getting those financials out has quit.
Thankfully though, in its statement, Byju's said that Goyal will complete work on Byju’s audited FY 22 financial statement before leaving, which means, that the FYY 22 financials will be out sooner than later. So in today's episode we take you back to the edtech's botched up FY 2021 financials so you know what to look out for in the next one.
