Chartered accountants' apex body ICAI Friday said it has initiated steps to proceed against an "unauthorised person" who was found to be in illegal possession of examination answer books.
"An instance of examination books being in illegal possession by an unauthorised person has recently been reported at Kolkata involving around 500 copies.
"... the institute has already initiated steps to proceed against the delinquent examiner and person in illegal possession of the answer books," the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) said in a statement.
Specific details were not disclosed.
The institute noted that its examination system is totally robust and this instance was 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," it added.
