ACCA vs ICAN

if u want to go global,acca is o.k,it is well recognised throughout the world except in the U.S,roughly at minimum,2 yrs is needed for the program and even an oxford brookes b.sc degree is awarded at the end of the programme(for real,i dont buy the idea of going for the prog cos of the degree,its not that 'integritized'-if the word exists). But the question is this,'why isnt it recognisd in the u.s and which prof program accounting related that is known in the U.S?

You can be ican qualified within a year(minimum time),and it is still the best in ninja,for a fresh grad,take the exams within a year with less intensive study and you're good to go along with your b.sc degree.

Weigh both and go for the better of the two,its personal.

Both ICAN & ACCA ARE GOOD EXAMS ,THERE IS NO ONE THAT IS NOT GOOD.
BOTH EXAM TOO ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO PASS ,YOU JUST HAVE TO READY VERY WELL TO PASS BOTH EXAM.
ACCA IS GLOBAL I.E IS ACCEPTED IN ALMOST ALL THE COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD,BUT That does not mean is better than ican
in real sense the way people look at it.BUT IT IS GLOBAL and that is the Value Advantage.
You cannot Prcatice Accountancy in any countries where ACCA IS ACCEPTED IF YOU ARE NOT IN ALLIANCE WITH THEIR
LOCAL Professional Bodies like ICAN as Of Nigeria.
My conclusion is that both exam are good to write and to become their membership.it gives value advantage especially
if you want to spread your tentacles with the multinational coys and also if you want to practice especially consultancy.
Thank you.

The question in everybody's mouth is,
Is Bsc(Applied Accounting) from OBU recognized in Nigeria?

Is anybody currently working with this?
Has anybody been admitted for an Msc or MBA with this degree?

Answers are welcome.
Re: ACCA Or ICAN: Which Is Better? by BAKAREAAT(m): 3:49pm On Apr 18, 2012
Yes there many nigerians working with it home and abroad,the fact that they say is Global that does not mean you
cannot work with it here in nigeria
All i know is that it is value advantage because of their global alliance i.e Global Presence.
Thank You.

Re: ACCA Or ICAN: Which Is Better? by Mustay(m): 9:39am On May 10, 2012
Actually, you can commence and complete your registration online at ACCA's website. However, Finaquest is popular at Abuja for tution services. I remember they also got the tuition learning certification from ACCA last year or so. Invariably, they 'll offer you advice concerning registration - you can visit their site at www.finaquestonline.com/ to get their contact.

What are the tips to pass ACCA exam? Im starting from Stage II and want to get qualified in 2 years. It is possible, How can I go about it. Though I did the exam once but due to combination with other programme i could not give it full attention. I need it now because in my organisation Professional qualification is part of assessment.

tycie, you shoulda read previous posts on this thread first - moreover, you failed to include your preferred location. As to your 'situation' now, go to Synergy Professionals located at Iponri, Surulere.
PM me when you finally commence the programme.
Re: ACCA Or ICAN: Which Is Better? by omosexy1: 11:41pm On Jun 18, 2012
ACCA is a hard oh. Please don't compare the exams with ICAN. I have written both, ICAN can automatically repeat a past question and change the figures and names. ICAN exams are example of what is obtainable in Nigerian University exams, although it is difficult too. ACCA never repeats a past question nor repeat related linked questions. You go into the exam with your thinking cap and how to apply what you have read to real case scenarios. ACCA evolves and adapts to changing business environment. This means certain business practices obtainable in 2000s maybe irrelevant today. If you want to enrich your accounting and finance skills (entrepreneur wise or office-related wise) I think ACCA is preferably. ACCA do not only ensure you develop skills, they holistically develop you to see the business from top view (i.e management perception). For countries that recognizes the qualification, I don't know about that. ACCA has been able to sharpen my finance and accounting skills, ICAN could not do that for me I only cram the textbooks and I went to download them for the examiners. Don't do it because you feel it is globally recognize, the programme itself is very enriching.
