It is worth it. You don't know until you get it if you are an accountant with ican you would be more prefer than accounant with MSc. Regarding money wasting you have to give Ican your time I mean u must read hard. Else you will almost regret your action. |

Areola14: Abeg, ICAN count ooo. See eh, if you get the experience and you never dey chattered, you no go dey collect high paying jobs. I myself I am not chattered but the amount disparity between the chattered accountants and non chattered at my place of work differs. Make that babe run that professional exam abeg, it goes a long way in aiding her career growth. 5 Likes |

You may go for the I can exams if you have the time. But honestly, what matters here is your working experience, let me shock you! I am a graduate of Accounting from Laspotech,I do not have any I can cert. but do you know I headed a very big and popular construction firm in Lekki, I have 3 ICAN guys on 130k salary working under me, I was the one that employed the 3 of them, I set 2017 I can exam for them at the interview but all of them failed. Your experience COUNT ALOT. 1 Like |

Kolawole2130: Big YES. It is very much worth. ICAN is of my top 3 most professional body in Nigeria. Well respected by international organizations, not only in Nigeria (US, UK) and it is affordable. |
Re: Is ICAN Exam Still Worth It In This 2021 by Poanan: 3:20pm On Nov 19, 2021 |
Kolawole2130: you are asking for help in the wrong place and from wrong people. The accountants are the best people to advise you on this. What university did you go to? cos I will be very shocked if you attended a university in the west and still ask this type of question. Let me assume you went to Ife, look at the lives of your classmates who are now qualified and compare theirs to yours. There lies the answer. Getting a sensible job without ICAN OR ACCA is difficult. For as long as you want to practice accounting, bend down and read. I am sure u know the answer to this question but you are looking for someone to tell you otherwise. Nothing good comes easy. 5 Likes |

If you've been doing Accounting at a church, is the church planning on opening a school? Accounting is a straight line to management. |
Re: Is ICAN Exam Still Worth It In This 2021 by Poanan: 3:30pm On Nov 19, 2021 |
translux: dont advise people wrongly. You are fortunate to be heading the account department in such places. Now, how many of your type in your class can you count? That exam you set for them even you too cannot pass it in such situation and that is the problem some people have working under people that are not chartered. Some of you show a lot of beef towards those young ones all because of certificates. 6 Likes |

Kolawole2130: So I will from the place of personal experience. I was not thinking of ICAN when I was in school studying accounting, I remember my mentor ones told me if I graduate as an accounting student in Nigerian, I am equivalent to an accounting drop-out. Its like a Doc who refuses medical school, its like a law grad who refuses law school. I put in for it and passed it (though very tasking) and it has opened up to me opportunities. To the quest of whether it is still relevant in Nig or not, I will ans by saying if you don't want to build a career in accounting then you don't have to write it, then you might wanna do some other things and do church accounting as side hustle. So yes it is so worth it in Nig Some coy would not even look at your cv if one is not qualified or in process of getting it 3 Likes 1 Share |

You cant be asking this question if you want to make a career in that profession. If you are going to work as an accountant then you need it. There is no employer who is going to pay a reasonable salary to an accountant that will employ an accountant without ACA Or ACCA. Except if you are looking for jobs that will pay you miserable salary of less than N100K or in that neighborhood. You can't introduce yourself as an accountant without an accounting professional qualification. You need other skills to excel in todays market, but you need ICAN to gain entrance. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Dailymice: Fantastic. Who has that gif where the man is clapping hands and shaking head... Help me add it Back to you OP. The assurance of climbing up the progress ladder in any profession includes taking professional exams, one of which is ICAN, upskilling and doing constant research as it relates to your field. So writing ICAN exams is not totally out of it. Also, you need to add skills like financial modelling. Whether we'll like to disagree or not. Professional qualifications open more one to more earning potentials. Lastly, don't forget about other digital skills as highlighted above. Wishing you success in your endeavors. |

From my personal experience, if you want to make a career out of the accounting profession then professional accounting certification is very essential and with quality experience even in this Buhari government opportunities still abound. Majority of my set are qualified and are doing fine but they didn’t get their overnight but with diligence and hard work they are doing great in Nigeria. Am even the lead audit manager for the audit firm of one of those my set in Lagos. His firm does more of government jobs such as Pencom audit, NPA revenue tracking and that of customs. If you desire to have a career in accounting then professional accounting certification is a must. You can even get jobs overseas with a good knowledge of IFRS My own little ten kobo opinion 1 Like |
