Examiners shall appoint Checkers - ICAI
Listen to this Article
The examination process inter alia includes a procedure of having the answer books checked, after evaluation by examiners, by Checkers to ensure that all answers have been evaluated, marks awarded have been carried forward to the cover page of the answer books and that the totalling of marks is correct.
ICAI had a centralized system of empanelling checkers before each exam, assigning them duties and paying them directly, until recently.
While the process of checking shall continue, it has been decided to discontinue the practice of centralised empanelment of checkers, appointment, allotment of assignments and direct payments by the Institute. It has further been decided that henceforth, examiners shall appoint Checkers and have the answer books checked, pay them honorarium and claim the same in their bill.
The abovementioned arrangement comes into effect from May 2016 examinations onwards.

13-May-2016 , 02:23:30 pmIn my opinion it is not a good step taken by the ICAi.Either the work of checker is complete to be given to the examiner or the appointment of ca for checker is to be done by the ICAI itself.

13-May-2016 , 02:51:22 pmThis change in policy will remove impartiality in appointment of checkers as examiners may appoint his friends/ family members as checkers. It may threaten independency of checkers in fulfilling their duties. Further there is also a chance of exploitation of newly qualified members by examiners against giving them work. When there is a need of more and more impartiality in the system on every assi

14-May-2016 , 04:56:00 pmIt is not the good practice. If it is good ,why the mistakes came and checking system was adopted. It is only to provide extra package to examiners only which should not be.
