Over 4,500 students of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CA Sri Lanka) sat for the Corporate and Strategic Level exams recently which was conducted in four main cities in the country as well as overseas.
The Corporate and Strategic Level exams which were conducted as a physical exam in February and March 2021 concluded successfully in Colombo, Kandy, Galle and Jaffna with over 4,400 students sitting for the exams, with Colombo being identified as the exam centre with the highest number of candidates recording over 3,600 students, the institute said in a media release.
CA Sri Lanka also conducted the Corporate and Strategic Level online exams for the benefit of CA Students who are currently working in Maldives, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (Dubai). The highest number of exam candidates overseas was recorded from Maldives, followed by Qatar.
For the benefit of the overseas students who were sitting for the online exam, CA Sri Lanka conducted mock exams to gear students for the online exam so that they would have a clear understanding on how to answer papers digitally.
The Corporate and Strategic Level exams were conducted as a special exam for the benefit of CA students who were unable to sit for the Corporate and Strategic Level online exams held in December 2020. The Institute followed all COVID-19 regulations during the physical exams conducted in Colombo, Kandy, Galle and Jaffna.
Marking an important milestone in its 60-year long progressive history, CA Sri Lanka conducted several online exams last year as an alternative to the conventional physical exams, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Among the exams conducted online last year was the Corporate & Strategic Level exam in December with a total of 1983 candidates. The Institute also conducted the Business Communication 1 mock exam for 850 students online. Further, due to travel restrictions on account of the global pandemic, CA Sri Lanka conducted the case study exam online as an alternative to the physical exam for the benefit of CA students residing in Qatar, UAE, Maldives, Bahrain, Kuwait and India as they were unable to travel to Sri Lanka due to the non-availability of flights and other restrictions.
