I AM PROUD TO BE AN ACCOUNTING TECHNICIAN OF ICAN-SIGN IN IF U ARE

I am ELESHO FISAYO OLUMAYOWA AAT(011979)


let me get the ball rolling

Which Subject did u find challenging the most when u were sitting for u ATS exam. for me ATS2 QA and FA were nerve breaking.

Iam now in PE 1 and facing FA again. may God help us ooooo

Hi Mayode
I am also an AAT now in PE 1 to be inducted in dec. this year. I think I agree with u its time we prove ourselve in the labour marke and so far so good we are not doing bad I am working too and my boss has even recommende me for promotion in less than a year and to God be the glory its a credit to me and to all AAT's.

though I also hold an ND certificate, I did ATS I, but 2 was tough I wrote it twice fail IT only @ first can u imagine and I have lecture It before, it suprised my father when I showed him the result then but I am done with ATS now and preparing for nov. PE1.

Cheers brother

i knew we were going to get there someday, no matter aw long it may take, well  i am happy to recieve comments from fellow AATs.

I read on friday 22 august 2008 tribune newspaper an ad-guess what? if u av ur ACA or passed ur PE111 you can apply to OOU sandwich programme, they called it one name like that sha, u spend 2 years and get a Bsc in Accounting.

this is a step forward and I'm sure better things are yet to come.

i recieve lectures @ VISION TUTORS IKEJA beside Archbishop Vinning Church, will be sitting for PE1 NOV DiEt. i am doing my best and committing the rest to Jah.


Our big sis that"s now an ACA, Aw was the journey,tell us more about the ride, ur study techniques, lecture centre,etc


I heard that LOSS RELIEF IS NOW INDEFINITE, IS IT TRUE?
 

will keep in touch.

o
An ACA is always respected no matter his/her age. All you need do is be more diligent as much is expected of you as a chartered accountant. Yes. Relief loss is now indefinite.

hi calmguy wats up? i was inducted this year June as well, i didn’t know the facilitator spent 8 years to write 2 stages, aw come u knew that?

wel that does not matter, at least he fought till the battle was over- thats the spirit of an achiever.
Now to your question. i av actually thought of it before and what i concluded was that if the Institute can make it compulsory for any ATS graduate who wants to proceed to the professional Exams should go for one year INDUSTRIAL ATTACHMENT(I.T), by this means many employers will be aware of the ATS and these AATs will be able to prove their professional competence which i am sure employers and even govt will find satisfactory.

The Institute should give all ATS graduates letter of I.T to whom it may concern, and before the students can write the PE they will bring a letter from the organisation they av had their IT stating that while they were employed they were able to prove their professional competence, were deligent, honest, trustworthy and recommend that they should be admitted as professional students of the institute.

2. The Institute Should publish in The dailies stating what the ATS is all about, what graduates of the scheme can do, the benefits of the scheme to the nation as a whole, the individual, the company etc.

3. The institute together with the AAt committee should visit COMPANIES, BANKS, AND ORGANISATIONs that often need middle level professionals to tell them more about The ATS and it graduate. The truth is most of this employers do not know  about the ATS scheme

4. I will stil come up with more. thats all i can think of now

in my own opinion the ATS should not be given a separate body now- it has not matured to that stage. if despite the fact that the institute has been spoon feeding it all these years it is still at this stage, don’t you think it will die of starvation if left on its own. how many AATs do we av,  not up to 14000 and not all of them will continue to pay their subscription once they qualify and not all students continue to write the exams once they fail. so financial wise if the ATS is left on its own it will be to its own peril.

I think the best thing has been done to make it WEST AFRICA WIDE i.e ATSWA now under ABWA but the local institutes still av to do their own parts as i av mentioned above.

ACCOUNTING students in the universities and polytechnics av a body, if professional accounting students can av a body i guess it will go a long way to help. say  Professional Accounting Students Association Of Nigeria-ATS(PASAN-ATS)and PASAN-ICAN.then we will av say SAFE chapter, WYSE chapter, PYE chapter, ViSION chapter etc. they will av- u know, an exco. will meet 2 discuss issues concerning them. forward their opinions, advice etc to the AAT committee and to the Institute and do a lot of Awareness  campaign etc and other things as set out at the beginning of this thread. it will really go a long way to help. with the help of the institute. it will be made compulsory for each student to by a sticker like: I AM PROUD TO BE AN ACCOUNTING TECHNINICIAN OF I CAN - JOIN IF U CAN. or I BELONG TO THE PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTING STUDENTS ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA-ATS(PASAN-ATS)-WOULD U BE A QUACK OR A PROFESSIONAL--hey, i am just thinking wild.

what else, alright i will come back again.

hi yinka,
i been off for  sometime. aw are u doing? i don't seem to agree with you as regards AAT's going for I.T making it equivalent to the OND, NO! it does not. why do i say so?
HND students in polytecnics go fo SIWES don't They? In some universities 300/400 level students go for IT ( science oriented courses especially).

AAT students going for IT mingth be placed probably on the same level with OND students no doubt, that does not mean we are equal technically and professionally speaking, and if you are able to proove ur worth, you can be promoted ahead an OND student, don't you think so?

Sometimes in life we may av to swallow our pride. if going for IT we give us the type of recognition we deserve then i don't really think being placed on the same level with an OND matters. with time the boys will be seperated from the men, if you actually proove ur worth.

ONE battle after the other. let AAT be employed first. later we can figth for superiority over OND.
