ACCA student Muhammad Kinzer Rahman Mir has the dubious honour of being the last disciplinary case for 2024.
He was found guilty of not ensuring he was in a room with no-one else around him when taking his exam. He also failed to “adequately follow an instruction to keep his eyes on his computer screen”.
And, his exam was terminated part way through by the proctors, because of his suspicious behaviour.
The committee looked at the video footage and agreed with the ACCA report. Despite being asked for a camera pan the test taker continued taking notes. The committee was also able to hear whispered conversations between the accused and a third party, who was later seen on screen. The sound of a door opening and closing was also heard. And, cameras picked up more than the permitted 2 sheets of scratch paper!
The committee decided that Mir be removed from the student register and be ordered to pay costs of £6,500. Its decision is now open to appeal.
