📋 ICAI & ICMAI Step-Marking Rules: How Answers are Evaluated

Examiners evaluate answer copies using an official step-wise marking rubric provided by the board of studies. Based on 10 years of examiner feedback and model suggested answers, marks are categorized into four critical execution layers:

20%

Working Notes

Independent computation sheets for salvage values, beta adjustments, and tax rates. Zero working notes caps marks at 50%.

30%

Statutory Provisions

Exact citation of sections (e.g. Sec 186, Sec 115BAA), Standards on Auditing (SA 705), and Cost Standards (CAS 4).

40%

Formula & Steps

Explicit declaration of algebraic formulas prior to substitution. Carries full marks even if final calculation is arithmetic-erred.

10%

Final Conclusion

Definitive business decision, net profit reconciliation figure, or qualified audit opinion summary.

Examiner Trap Alert: 38% of students lose marks on direct tax and financial reporting problems not because of conceptual misunderstanding, but because of omitting statutory reference notes in their working sheets. Milan AI's instant solution solver trains you to include statutory footnotes automatically.
