It was a proud moment for Vasanth Karthick Bharath, a final-year B.Com. (Honours) student of St. Joseph’s College in Tiruchi on Thursday when he learnt that he had achieved the highest mark worldwide (90), in the Audit and Assurance paper in the examination held by the U.K.-headquartered Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).
Mr. Bharath is one of 25 students from the city college to have appeared for the exam that drew aspirants from over 170 countries. The exam was slated to be held in Chennai in the first week of December, but had to be cancelled due to Cyclone Michaung.
