Restoring Investor confidence

Recent financial fraud in Satyam has spooked the investor community and people are afraid to invest. Investment is based on a lot of trust in the accuracy of the financial statements. The auditors are the custodians of these valuable documents. If I cannot trust the auditors, what value can I attached to these documents. How do I value the company ?

Govt. needs to take speedy action to restore confidence in the system. The guilty should be brought to justice . New laws should be enacted to deter such events from happening.
