Development of quality Study Material of different subjects, continuous revision and updation of the same, preparation of Revision Test Papers (RTPs) and Mock Test Papers (MTPs), Suggested Answers, questions for practice, development of case studies are the core areas of academic work of Board of Studies.
Student friendly Study Material: Development of Study material involves presentation of concepts and provisions in a student-friendly manner with the use of learning aids like diagrams, tabular presentations, flow charts etc. Illustrations are given after each concept to explain the application of concepts and provisions. Learning Outcomes are given at the first page of each chapter of the Study Material which describe what a student would be able to understand, appreciate, apply and/or interpret after reading the chapter and questions for practice are given at the end of each chapter. Study Materials are regularly updated to incorporate changes in provisions of law, accounting standards and standards on auditing, and other developments in the respective subjects.
RTPs/ Suggested Answers: In addition to the Study Material, the BoS comes out with other inputs like Revision Test Papers (RTPs) to assist the students in revision for examination. The RTPs also contain the latest updates which are relevant for the students from the examination point of view. The BoS also brings out the Suggested Answers to questions set at CA examination to further assist the students in their learning process for their forthcoming examinations.
Development of Case Studies/ Case Scenarios/ MCQs: The assessment pattern is case study based in the six elective papers at the Final level, namely, Risk Management, Financial Services and Capital Markets, International Taxation, Economic Laws, Global Financial Reporting Standards and Multidisciplinary Case Study. Accordingly, quality case studies are being developed and hosted at the BoS Knowledge Portal which assess the higher order skills of analysis, evaluation and synthesis of students at the Final level. Quality MCQs (independent and scenario-based) are developed in select core subjects of Intermediate and Final Course, where assessment is partially objective, and webhosted at the BoS Knowledge Portal as well as included in RTPs and MTPs.
Digital Learning Campus (SPOM): The Board of Studies launched the ICAI Digital Learning Campus Portal on 7th May, which now features Self-Paced Online Modules (SPOM).
