New Delhi/Kolkata, July 27 (IBNS): Issuing a clarification, the ICAI said it has initiated steps against the "unauthorised" person who was found to be illegally possessing the answer books of Chartered Accountancy (CA) examinations.
The incident, which has been termed by the ICAI as an "aberration", was reported in Kolkata.
The ICAI said, "The Institute has already initiated steps to proceed against the delinquent examiner and person in illegal possession of the answer books."
However, the ICAI said it is not possible for anyone to get to know the identity of the examinee or examiner centre.
Also the ICAI has termed its system as "robust".
The ICAI statement reads, "An instance of Examination books being in illegal possession by an unauthorised person has recently been reported at Kolkata involving around 500 copies. It is clarified that ICAI examination system is totally robust and this instance is an aberration. The system runs through codified numbers and it is not possible to ascertain the identity of examinee or examination centre by any examiner or anyone else."
The Kolkata Police found the answer sheets of the CA examination were checked by an "unauthorised" person. The exam was conducted in June this year.
