acca in America,, are you joking.,, do you think USA use IFRS... you better educate yourself it is either u are a CPA holder in US or forget it, they are rule based not principle based like all other accounting bodies you hear

Scroll and read further I have explained on exam exemptions in some states in the USA for ACCA holders

Hopebringer:


The comment is self.explanraory I CAN is only accepted in Nigeria , ACCA is acxoeted in Nigeria and everywhere else in the world

You can work in finance anywhere globally with ACCA but not with iCAN

Nuff said

Be wise

Sure it has a wider reach in terms of recognition. But it isn't 'everywhere' yet. The US for instance, would still require a CPA (their equivalent certification) for public practice as they do for quite a number of professions ( Requiring a certification that was developed locally).

N.b. The US hasn't adopted(at least not formally) IFRS yet. which is the foundation of most European Accounting Certifications including ACCA.

ACCA grants you CPA exams exemptions in some states in USA

Hopebringer:
ACCA professionals are working in over 180 countries so there are quite a lot of options available.

ICAN professionals work.in Nigeria alone once.ypu travel or you want to get a c-level appointment they will request you have ACCA, even here in Nigeria
do the math

So,whats the cost of doing ICAN and ACCA

can you please give the break down of the two

Scrol and read furger I have explained on exam exemptions in some states int he USA for ACCA holders

bro at the end of the day, we all have exemption to get each other's certification either from ACA - ACCA or vice versa, as far as Nigeria is concerned you can't sign a financial statement if you don have your ACA, even though acca has more global appeal. If you no get money no go write acca and there is nothing stopping you from getting all. ACA, acca, cima cpa. All na to get that dream job at the end of the day your experience might be the deciding factor there are many multinational CFO'S in nigeria that don't have acca. Just know what your plans are and choose wisely or in other of priority if you will be writing more than one of those certifications.

Brilliant

ACCA gramys you CPA exams exemptions in some states in USA

Granted. But your statement implied that with ACcA alone, one is good to go anywhere in the world.

I have observed that even though a concept enjoys almost global acceptance, It may not necessarily translate to acceptance in the US without going through their standards there.
Of Course no Financial concept is truly (technically) global if it still suffers restrictions in a place like the US.

Thank you very much

Which country does ICAN Grant you exemptions in again I don't think I can recall?

Or is that zero too

Now this answers the question of one having the audacity to compare ICAN to ACCA . iCAN is just a joke and waste of funds if you ask me

sylvez:
Thank you very much

You are welcome sir

Hopebringer:


I shall ignore all your crude comments and focus on what is relevant

Your opinion of holding I CAN in higher esteem is frankly what you said your opinion which is only relevant to you and your immediate house hold

Secondly your opinion is falwdd untrue and detached from relaity

Thrid you refuste the fact yes note o said fact that ACCA is global and grants you exemptions in international accounting axams in other countries is quite amazing anyways I have come to acxoe trhe fact that alot of Nigerians having experienced shocking human rights abuse and accepting it have become really detached from reality and create their own reality and affirm it as the norm.

Forth you assume I am not ACCA certified, another assumption you seemed to talk without properly thinking

Fifth you actually stated no new facts just a lame attempt at salvaging a battered program that has lost it's relevance (I CAN)

Sixth I hope you learn to read better and comprehend otherwise desist from quoting people and talking for the sake of it

See, I have your time cuz today Na Sallah, and I didn't even go Villa .... I full grand for hia ..... u dey craze ..... Now, your post contains a lot of typographical errors thus I couldn't comprehend most of them as they are bereft of sense .... You may consider reviewing most if not all of your post ....

Now, You better start writing ICAN/ACCA .... .... You only aspire to write ACCA (like me) , So you need to keep deceiving your ignorant sense to Ignore ICAN so as to validate your ACCA .... I bet you don't even have money to write ACCA .... Your posts indicate Poverty/Joblessness .... You are posting in pains brother .... I pray God will grant you money to improve your wisdom .....

Now, Calm dafvck down when Professionals are doing their things..... !!!

I never suggested that ICAN is superior to ACcA in anyway.
Given the choice almost everybody would elect for ACCA for its international appeal. I just wanted to correct a statement you made about its RAW 'global' reach.

In fact, I think this comparison is unfair as ACcA was founded in 1904 in what has been one of the most developed countries in the world. I CAN received its charter in 1965 pioneered by individuals who themselves benefitted from a UK education.
I CAN ( like the country it is domiciled ) still struggles in many areas today. And by the way it

I didn't make head or tail from what you wrote

Judging from the debate /conversation of both parties, ACCA is more convincing with facts....

The ICAN people can't even put words together on NL to save the qualification.

In the real world ACCA is better than ICAN...

Start by comparing their website, course content, Acca exams are being conducted In over 50 countries, 4 times a year...

Apparently, ICAN is following ACCA footsteps, 4 times a year exams, modification if syllabus.

I can't even argue..

Hopebringer:

. Your write-ups are filled with typographical errors. And to be honest I have found it difficult to comprehend what you have written. I am in my final stage in ICAN and I hold it in high esteem, I also plan on getting ACCA and CFA certification. It depends on what you want. I stand to be corrected, you need ICAN to sign a published financial statement in Nigeria. That's a plus for ICAN members, to me, I think its better to get both.

That's what most if them don't understand, getting both is the best thing, I have my ACA and am currently writing my diploma in ifrs (ACCA), and my plan is to opt for Canadian CPA thereafter now that you only have to write case studies in CIMA after 5 years post ACA qualifications which automatically gives you CPA,.. One just have to be strategic if not you go just waste money duplicating certifications.

ICAN recently introduced CBEs too which will commence soon; to be honest ICAN is improving.

Whether Ican or Acca, just ensure you strive to be a competent accountant; in most cases experience gets you the job before qualifications.

Even as an ican candidate, you can get enriching resources in the ACCA website to enhance your study and career.

Oya Sorry

LaExpert:


Please leave that one.
He clearly isn't up-to-date.

ICAN is relevant in all countries reporting using IFRS and is a member of IFAC, infact, a founding member of IFAC.

ACCA is also relevant in those countries reporting using IFRS. It is also a member of IFAC.

The only restrictions these bodies face is that most countries prefer their local professional body. Just like in Nigeria, as it stands, ICAN is preferred simply because ACCA isnt recognized by the FRC and cannot sign financial statements.

Very untrue
ICAN is only recodnised in Nigeria

haibe:


ICAN recently introduced CBEs too which will commence soon; to be honest ICAN is improving.

they are improving because of the stiff competition.

I will strictly advice Op to go for the both if he own the required fund at his disposal, instead of initiating Unneccesary comparison. Even ICAN board knows this, they came to my school(UNN) months back and the way they were talking about ACCA strictly showed that they see them as a threat (intriguingly, its very obtainable to see a professional body in a tech driven and advance country as one) ICAN is not a bad bet tho, its the best Professional body domicile in Nigeria and if not in Africa ( stand to be corrected tho) so owning a proffesional certificate with ICAN its a paste on the cheese likewise with ACCA. Its obvious you cannot compare warri wolves with Barcelona (no way!).

The amazing thing is that after 5years cognate practise you will be awarded ICEAW automatically, and not only that, you will be able to opt for CIMA and start from case study, and note, signing a published fin statement requires a professional accountant who own its certification with the body in that country(that is the rule here) ICAN has come with lotta incentives.

Again i advice you go for both, cos u may not flourish well in Nigeria with ACCA only. because it has its equivalent around.

Okay, this is great, the main usefulness of Nairaland is to share information, which this tread has done to those interested in choosing Accounting as a profession. I am a member of ICAN by choice. My intention (career path) is to grow and be successful in Nigeria, which I believe ICAN can make me achieve.
I have learnt a lot about ACCA on this tread, but based on my career objective, I still prefer ICAN, It is Nigerian, I am in Nigeria doing considerable well with no intention of travelling out. Ordinarily, with the adoption of IFRS by majority of the nations in the world, A good accountant with any professional body recognized under IFA, should be able hold his/her ground in any IFRS adopted country.
For me, other benefits I see with ICAN, include, association and mingling with a lot of professional accountant in Nigeria through Conferences and Seminars, being able to practice as professional accountant or Auditor sign sign financial report, and beside with ICAN, you can be a member of CIPFA, and just learnt, ICAEW without an exam. For me for now, this is enough for me to realize my career goal.
The summary of my post, is that, think of what you want to achieve as a person or as an accountant, then think of which path will give you satisfaction. Please pardon grammatical or typo errors. Thanks

So what about Economics students?
