CAs plea to revamp exam rejected

CHENNAI: A writ plea from V Venkatesa Sivakumar, a chartered accountant (CA) of Rangarajapuram in Kodambakkam, to constitute an independent experts commitee to study the existing examination system for CA and consider the necessity and possibility of revamping the same in the interest of the students, was rejected by the first bench of the Madras Court, last week. The petitioner had no locus standi to file the petition, asHigh he was not an aggrieved person, the bench comprising  Chief Justice MY Eqbal and Justice TS Sivagnanam said and dismissed the public interest writ petition. According to petitioner, many questions asked in the CA final examinations on the papers of Strategic Financial Management, Paper-II (Group-I Final) and Management Accounting, Paper 5 (Group-II Final) were invariably repeated ones and were just the cut-paste copy of the questions asked in the previous examinations.
The presentations in the suggested answers were highly confusing and were of very poor quality, he added.
