I am a registered ACCA student and i feel it is more beneficial than ICAN because ACCA is a global thing and with it you have greater access to high nnetwork jobs locally and internationally. Also you can become an automatic ICAN member at the complrtion of your ACCA. The choice is yours, choose wisely. 1 Like |

No contest, ACCA is better and I qualified as a chartered accountant (ICAN) 8 years ago. In fact, if you have ACCA, you can also get ACA (ICAN) by going through an induction course organized by ICAN once a year. So you can kill 2 birds with one stone |

ICAN, ACCA sign MoU on mutual cooperation 09 June, 2008 02:00:00 CHIDI NDUKA AJA The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) and the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding on mutual cooperation, which is sequel to the agreement reached in February this year. The two bodies had agreed when Gillian Ball, the Global President of ACCA, visited Nigeria, the terms of reference of the Bilateral Committee as well as resolved to collaborate on a number of areas to develop the accountancy profession. The MoU provides for the establishment of mutual cooperation between the two institutions, both members of the International Federation of Accountants, IFAC; and also agrees that the Bilateral Committee, established in Istanbul, Turkey November 14, 2006, shall continue to meet twice a year. By the terms of the MoU, both ICAN and ACCA have agreed to collaborate in further developing and promoting the accountancy profession; identify ways in which they can work together to support their respective members in Nigeria and UK; strengthen regular communication links between both bodies; determine a road-map towards achieving a long-term mutually beneficial partnership between them; as well as review and, where appropriate, work together to address common issues in the national, regional and international accountancy profession. In another development, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN), Tuesday in Lagos, elected Richard Uchechukwu Uche as its 44th president. He succeeds Abiodun Babington-Ashaye. In his acceptance speech, Uche said there are tremors shaking the foundation of the accountancy profession which pose serious threat to the profession, making visioning imperative for future success. He stated that the profession’s core values which include integrity, objectivity, competence, attunement to broad business issues, continuing education and lifelong learning would change in the future in response to changing global and economic demands. He observed that the future chartered accountant must now be a repository of such s skills as communication and leadership skills, strategic and critical thinking skills, focus on the customer, client and market, interpretation of converging information as well as technological adeptness. The new president said profound changes are occurring globally in the accountancy profession driven in the main by the advancement in information technology and globalisation, and lamented that accountants are going through identity crisis as advancement in IT impacts on the profession’s age-long practices and mode of service delivery. He assured that the action plan of his administration for the accountancy profession in Nigeria would be one that is able to respond proactively to the dynamics in the environment and remain the pivot of all productive economic activities. "Rather than be at the receiving end, the accountancy profession should and must drive the evolving but inevitable change process in the public interest," he said. He gave as his the thrust of his administration’s mission over the next 12 months as defence of the ICAN Act, strengthening of faculties, creation of research and technical directorate, professional practice monitoring, restructuring of the mandatory continuing professional education programme, review of syllabus and training curriculum, building partnership with tertiary institutions, improvement of library facilities, and computerisation of the institute’s operations. 1 Like |

Hi all, Do not be decieved by whatever agreement ICAN enters into with ACCA. No agreement can make ICAN qualification acceptable internationally because it is a local body. I wrote ICAN up to Intermediate level before I dumped it for ACCA because I realized it would not equip me to perform at a global level. Currently, I am at the Professional Stage of ACCA. I started from Foundation without exception because I read Economics in my Undergraduate in Nigeria. I am currently in the US doing my MBA and also sitting for my ACCA. Wherever you are in the world, you can sit for the ACCA exam and get job with it. Like people have said, ACCA is harder than ICAN but made easier because you have more than enough resources to aid you, although with cost. Moreso, ACCA equips you to practice globally. ICAN is seeking for agreement because they recognize that ACCA would soon outperform them in their own country. If you have the money and you are prepared to study hard and perform seamlessly in any country of your choice, please go for ACCA. Thanks, Samuel. |

asamuel: For the fact that you could not pass the old Intermediate exams of ICAN ,does not give you the license to say rubbish here.I have friends in the U.S. working with their ICAN certificate.It is true that ACCA is more accepted than ICAN globally.However,ICAN is internationally recognized. |
Re: ACCA Or ICAN: Which Is Better? by asamuel: 5:53pm On Jun 26, 2008 |
I hear you! If I could not pass ICAN intermediate, how come I am doing ACCA? I know many ICAN students who have attempted ACCA and failed. The question is not who pass what but what is recognized globally. If you say ICAN is recognized internationally, go to UK or come to US and work with it. YOur friend may be using his ICAN to do a clerical work here in the US, which he could still do without ICAN if he has basic accounting knowledge. Ignorant man, I am sure you have not crossed the borders of Nigeria let alone knowing what international recognition translates to. If you intend to look outside your village, better be thinking of ACCA. If you like I could introduce you to some centers in Nigeria for your brain to be thororughly purged for international fitness. I pity you. Please stop misleading young ones who have good careers to pursue. |

Re: ACCA Or ICAN: Which Is Better? by marosky(m): 9:43am On Jun 27, 2008 |
No one is saying that ACCA is not better.The truth still remains that I have friends doing very good jobs in the U.S. with ICAN. |
Re: ACCA Or ICAN: Which Is Better? by Mustay(m): 10:04am On Jun 27, 2008 |
asamuel: We keep complaining that Nigeria is this and that yet every step to make the country better is condemnde by her citizens. Do you think most students have the money to write the ACCA exam? ACCA started as a local body some 100 years ago before going international, so we can always start from somewhere. As much as ACCA seems to be better, most students in Pakistan feel their local acoountancy exam is better thatn ACCA. If you don't have the money to write ACCA, you can write ICAN. I commend ICAN for the step. Moreover ACCA doesn't cater for the peculiarity of lawws of each nation, so what happens if we have no ICAN? Yinka visit accaglobal.com for info. |

Re: ACCA Or ICAN: Which Is Better? by asamuel: 2:06pm On Jun 27, 2008 |
Well, I don't have so much saliva to waste here. I'm glad you have agreed that ACCA is much better. I only made the point that if anybody is looking beyond Nigeria, he should think ACCA. I pray that ICAN would develop and be internationally recognized. But it is not yet so. I believe this is a forum for career advise and those who sincerely seek information should not be misled. If you intend to stay in Nigeria all your life, of course you don't need ACCA. ICAN is cheaper as you all said. But if you are looking beyond Nigeria as I was, please don't waste your money on ICAN. I did and regretted it. Good luck! |
Re: ACCA Or ICAN: Which Is Better? by Mustay(m): 2:21pm On Jun 27, 2008 |
Now you're talking. asamuel:If you intend to stay in Nigeria all your life, you need ACCA too please. i don't see any exam being categorised for these set of people or . . . Afterall, some people don't like being treated as a 2nd class citzen in a country |
Re: ACCA Or ICAN: Which Is Better? by Mustay(m): 2:50pm On Jun 27, 2008 |
Infact is like this writer read my mind. My problem with ICAN is why they concern themselves with 'other' issues:

Re: ACCA Or ICAN: Which Is Better? by asamuel: 5:35pm On Jun 27, 2008 |
O oh! You see what we are saying? Instead of them to concentrate and develop their professional body to world standards, they keep on fighting ANAN, Institute of Taxation, etc. It is the market that determines the quality of a body, especially through the performance of its members. Well, you guys have said it's our own, and we should continue to protect it, even if it is inefficient. |

asamuel: Well until you qualify and get a job with your "ACCA" degree over there, then you will be in a position to talk, i have two friends with their ACCA and 2.1 from kent, they searched UK tire for job, i dont think ACCA confers upon you a specified advantage, the global job everyone is shouting self!!!!!!!!!!is it easy to get, ?abeg!!!!!!!!!! |
Re: ACCA Or ICAN: Which Is Better? by asamuel: 7:49pm On Jun 30, 2008 |
Sorry dear, I'm already working with my ACCA even before I finish it. That's the difference between ACCA and ICAN. Please think well. |
Re: ACCA Or ICAN: Which Is Better? by uchetobi(f): 10:27am On Jul 01, 2008 |
asamuel: yea right, and those working@ KPMG and Pwc in Nigeria here are not working with their ICAN before they qualify |
Re: ACCA Or ICAN: Which Is Better? by asamuel: 2:50pm On Jul 01, 2008 |
Companies know the worth of ACCA. So, if you can pass some papers well, you can get a job while you continue the rest of your papers. In the US here, companies even pay for your ACCA exams. That's my point dear. Do rethink before it is too late!!! 1 Like |
