CORRESP 1 b402567_corres.txt CORRESPONDANCE November 23, 2004 VIA OVERNIGHT MAIL AND FACSIMILE Securities and Exchange Commission Division of Corporation Finance 450 Fifth Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20549-0406 Attention: Melissa Walsh Fax: (202) 942-9544 Dear Ms. Walsh: Intelligroup, Inc. (the "Company") submits this letter in response to letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") dated November 17, 2004 in which the SEC requested the Company revise its Report on Form 8-K filed on November 1, 2004 to provide the disclosure required by paragraphs (a)(1)(v)(A) through (D) under Item 304 of Regulation S-K. The Company believes its Form 8-K filed on November 1, 2004 includes the disclosure required by paragraphs (a)(1)(v)(A) through (D) under Item 304 of Regulation S-K. As stated in the Form 8-K filed on November 1, 2004, "[d]uring the Company's most recent two fiscal years and from January 1, 2004 through November 1, 2004, there were no `reportable events' as such term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation of S-K." Deloitte & Touche ("Deloitte"), the Company's former independent registered public accounting firm, has not advised the Company of any matter referred to in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. Notwithstanding this, the Company has disclosed various matters related to financial reporting over the past several months. During the closing process for the second quarter, the Company's finance team identified a number of accounting adjustments to prior period financials. The Company's finance team discussed such adjustments with the Deloitte staff members assigned to the Company's account. The Company's management team then discussed such adjustments with the Company's Audit Committee at a meeting in which the Deloitte partner and a senior staff member participated. Based upon the adjustments identified to date by the Company's management team and the remaining $600,000 in unreconciled differences related to its intercompany account, the Company's Audit Committee concluded that the financial statements and related independent audit reports for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 and filed on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods beginning January 1, 2001 to date should no longer be relied upon and would be restated. The Company disclosed this conclusion via a press release and Report on Form 8-K dated September 24, 2004. The Company's management team has also evaluated the Company's internal controls and raised issues regarding the Company's internal controls with the Company's Audit Committee. Since the Company's filing of its periodic report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2004 has been delayed pending completion of the restatement of prior period financial statements, the Audit Committee in conjunction with the management team decided to disclose the changes in internal controls and weaknesses in internal controls prior to completion of such periodic report. On October 1, 2004, the Company made this disclosure via a press release and a Report on Form 8-K. The Company acknowledges that: (1) the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; (2) the staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to the staff's comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and (3) the Company may not assert the staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States. Please call me at 732-362-2279 if there are any questions or further information is required. Very Truly Yours, /s/ Madhu Poomalil Madhu Poomalil Chief Financial Officer
