musulumi: The is a thread you can throw up any challenge and difficulty you are facing and let us all team up and explore the individual competencies deposited in us. This thread can equally be useful for ICAN students, Accounting undergraduates to ask questions and let the experts answer you.
I have HND, ACA, i work too.

yommy2sure: Hello house, pls does anyone know the minimum/maximum no of years/months it is expected of one to get chattered if on is taken for audit in KPMG (science background no exemption in any stage at all). Thanks.

musulumi: 1.what could have possibly been the error committed if a debtor's balance is having a credit balance?
2. Where is Withholding tax from corporate organisations remitted ?
Let us start our debate on these questions first

wakagirl: Please i need to know if someone with poor maths background can study Accounting, its a matured student and on part time basis.
Thank you.

TEXZLEM: My professional colleague...let us share our view on this issue. Experience has shown that many people engage in Biz without doing feasibility report or Business plan.

As a professional Accountant... I am privilege to have written some plan for some biz owner. If you have written one... Let us discuss the content of forecasted cashflow,profit and loss, balance sheet and breakeven point. Assumption adopted.

Most Nig small scale biz do not have data... And they believe you to manufacture data off air and balance it all...

TEXZLEM: Foremost... Accounting and Mathematics are two difference concept because the former revolve around the principle of double entry . And in answer to your question! With your weak backgound in Math... You can still do account,however, you will only have problem when you are not at ease with figures because being an accountant you work with figures based on the concept of every corresponding debit have a corresponding credit.

By and large... Having identified math as your weakness... You can actually work on it because as an accountant you will be require to make somes financial decision which involve some element of finance!

Ufeolorun:
You can do it if you have the passion though a good maths background will help you in some areas like performance management and/or financial management but Accountancy has moved greatly from traditional book keeping/management accounting jargon to financial reporting(knowing Gaap/Igaap and and interpretation
in fact I usually tell people that there's now a fine line between Accountancy and Law( am not looking at taxation alone).Interpretation of financial reports have taken central role hence comparing accountancy to law makes more sense.

Sekso: JARUS, sometimes you make some of us feel so dull with the way you over-simplify established areas of difficulty in the ICAN examinations.
I met you on a thread sometime ago where you stated that you studied for ICAN exam for 5 days and still earned yourself awards. Now, you are making people appear very foolish for taking AAA exam more than once.
I need you to understand that you may be operating at some level of genius and that does not make it criminal for others to fail where you passed with little or no effort. Its best you tell us the strategies you adopted to conquer the challenges of some tough courses like AAA rather than suggesting we are dumb. Patronage won't help here sir!
Perhaps you are part of the less than 10% who passed AAA in May 2012 diet. Either that, or you are on the same IQ level with them. Whatever your level of knowledge doesn't make it less shocking to have over 90% of candidates failing a Paper. To me, it is outrageous.
Regards!

Paulipopor:
if you want to write PE1 in May, you should have started lectures first week in january. you can continue the lectures when you leave camp. The best time to register for the exam is first/second week in April, to avoid the late hour rush.

@Sesko AAA is not so difficult, i wrote it once too. You just need to read wide. I read from ICAN pack, Accounting Today (foreign) and attended lectures. Did lots of case study and thats all. I wish you guys the best.
