francizy:

Hello, trust your night was lovely. I really need some bit of explanations from you. In the financial highlights on the UAC 2013 annual report (page 6), there are 6 columns there; the first 3 columns was named GROUP and the last 3 was named COMPANY. Please can you tell me what the group and company stand for? Thanks in advance.

My night was splendid! Thanks...U're not an accountant I guess cos that's 400level stuffs in school for those who remember, Acct 401 and if u've passed ICAN PE 1 Financial Accounting, u sh'd be conversant with what it is. Well, The Group is the total conglomerates financial performance for the year, UAC comprises of over 9 subsidiaries (companies under UAC), the Holding company is UAC, not the 1st three colums are for the Holding company plus 9 subsidiaries, while the other 3 colums for company are the report for UAC Nig. LTD. I'd suggest u go through the 'Notes to the Accounts' in subsequents pages, is a bit ambiguous sha with the introductn of IFRS, just peruse sha....

henricson:

Wow... I don't even know if I can respond this way!

You have to bro, different kinds of folks u meet here with different perspectives/opinions and views to issues, always maintain a positive attitude to comments. All these speculations about test or interview, well I think I resolve to waiting for their invite, Whatever it is!

kilonso001:


I like the way you accepted the criticism, it shows your level of maturity. May God continue to bless you with more patience and understanding.

#ThumbsUp.

Amen! Thanks, attitude is everything! So any news? what are we expecting? Personality test or aptitude test again? I actually over the weekend have been preparing for interview, but a kind of slowed down because of the info on test again. Any news fellas

Djbaka: What Maturity!!! Lady, you just earned my respect!! I really need to chop your knuckle.

Lol, that's the power of positive attitude, thanks all the same. Diverting this UACN subject ko Interview or test...so we can know we're preparing for....

kakashi12: it just says u dont have a masters

Hmmmm, @ kakashi, let's leave the fellow alone pls, he/she expressed his/her opinion, is ok. No hard feelings, today's gone, any news on whether is test or interview? Or we're all waiting for Workforce or UACN Plc's invitation?

dljbd1: hmmmm
You really need to start thinking before talking

Is ok, is his/her opinion sha, and I really appreciate him/her for it, no hard feelings @ dljbd1, let not divert the thread pls, more opinions on the next phase, test or interview sh'd be our focus. Cheers!

eldega:

Its not about you preparing financial statements...annual reports tells you everytyn u need to know about an organization..........having an indept of it is not a bad idea.................

You can imagine someone asking you during the interview.............WHY DO YOU WANT TO WORK WITH US?.....................Answerin this using all the necessary infomation you deduced from their annual report can give you an upper edge cos this shows you have taken your time to know more about your potential employers business and also contributing your own quota to maintain the trend.


N.B: Am not also an accountant nor studied accounting......................just saying cos there is room for people to counter what i said.

Thanks for this also, this is also my view. Cheers!

ideycraze:
You ve got 2 Masters degrees and u are afraid of writing common employment test? You should be ashamed of yourself.

Thanks for ur opinion, U're the best! Wishing u the best dear....

henricson:

Masters makes no difference now in Nigeria.
You should know a lot of people now have a masters, even 2, a professional one like MBA & academics like M.Sc.
It's all about God's grace!

That's true, His favor is all that counts now especially in a country like ours!

henricson:

I hv a hardcopy of their 2013 annual report.
The useful part I can see in it is the names of the board of directors, the names and positions of the group senior management team, and the number of subsidiaries in uac and what they do!

Sure, and the financial statements/Accounts are vital for analysis and study! Am an accountant sha, so am seeing it from that perspective sha...

Chai! Chai!! Chai!!! Diaris God ooooooo, no problem! Test or interview, Diaris God oooooo!

Chai...test again? Haba.....is well oooo! With a masters degree one can't secure a stressless Job in this country?? (I even have two masters degrees and am not yet 30)....I hope this info is not true oooo....Interview direct abeg......what rubbish test again Diaris God oooooooo

engrfaruq:

Nice one CharlyG1, pls more comments especially for the Graduate specialist scheme, especially from those who have done it before...

UAC advert in some months back, compare with the above: from what am deducing, successful candidates will be assuming supervisory role @ senior staff level Hmmmm, sounds challenging to me....
