To some of us anything foreign is superior. Check financial reporting ACCA June 2015 and Ican November 2015 and spot the difference.

The consolidation esp was very similar so bro u got no point on that.

Its just the orientation we have that anything foreign is superior. How do you refute the fact that candidates drop ICAN for ACCA because the latter is easy to pass.

Which candidates drop ican for Acca because they think its easy, who are they?, ask them the real reason they are dropping ican.. If they dropped ican, it is not because Acca is easier. Thats very false.

Its not a thing of inferiority complex. You can't compare a white man's technique in financial reporting for example to that of a Nigerian here, this people invent most of these standards, concepts and principles and yet you think a Nigerian examiner would be more technical? Wake up bro!! Avoid being bias..

fotogirl:
The point is can the qualification make you a good Accountant, Acca does that, which is what matters. I saw last November Ican questions on Financial reporting, it is simple and not comparable to Acca's f7, why is it now harder than Acca? Nigerians like saying one is harder than the other.

I woukd have thought I was the only one who noticed how ridiculously simple that FR for Ican November diet was, same went for their auditing too.. The truth remains that acca will make you a better accountant.

I did ICAN when it was pass all or fail all at one sitting. No carry over. Any serious student of ICAN can pass ACCA with ease. I have passed the two routes and I am talking out of experience. After completing ACCA, I realised it could not take me to my desired destination or give me any reciprocity, then I enrolled in for CIMA (Gateway through Strategic case Study). Even with the so called learning effect, I still reckoned that CIMA was tougher than ACCA. However, with my ICAN background, it was easier for me than most others. My point is, ICAN gives you a SOLID foundation. Yet not recognised outside Nigeria, but if you can pass ICAN, you can pass ACCA easily!

Lol this bros sha.. I know you are experienced thats why am saying you should not find Acca hard.. There are people who started Acca from paper f1 too and will find anything ican too easy, thats how it should be.

Cima is obviously more harder than Acca, if you think Acca can't take you there, try CFA so you can taste what it means do be doing something difficult. CIMA is still easy, try cfa bro, come back when you are done and I will respect you. All these ican, Acca, cpa are not supposed to be hard to someone that is serious, I know this!! (Even though there are bound to be circumstances outside one's control that may cause failure)

Bros, I am FCA (ICAN), before leaving Nija, I did some of these foreign "over-rated" exams (ACCA & CIMA), and completed them back to back. This was with the pressure of work. ICAN is still the toughest and the BEST. May not yet have the recognition outside Nigeria, but no ICAN member can be stranded in either ACCA or CIMA. If you CAN PASS ICAN, these ones are BEANS!!! Quote me anywhere in this WORLD. Just another correction, CIMA is tougher than ACCA and is now recognised in US (CGMA designation is offered qualified members by both CIMA (UK) and AICPA (US)).

The name is I CAN!!! Go for it as a sure foundation for your accounting designation. The stress you will pass through will prepare you for a jolly ride over ACCA.

Lol bro, you are speaking like you don't even have knowledge of a simple learning affect, no offence but I expect you to know better.

If after you have done ican, I don't expect you to have much problem with Acca, if any (compared to someone that hasn't done any prof exam before), this is because there must have been a learning effect all through your doing ican.. Its the same with someone who has done Acca, I don't expect him to find ican hard at all because of the learning effect.

Saying ican is the best is just your opinion, I know people who are chartered accountants under ican and still finding certain papers in Acca problematic, (although this ordinarily shouldn't be the case).. A lot of factors comes into play in how you approach and can handle subsequent professional exams..

ibadanfinest:
Everyone claiming acca is more technical than Ican, that's a lie, in fact ICAN had to condescend as people complain ICAN questions are too technical.
As for the proof, students who are unable to pass ICAN exam are passing ACCA exam with ease with moatly the knowledge gather while studying for ICAN.

As it its now both exam body set virtually same questions, you can use ICAN financial reporting to prepare for that of ACCA.

I agree for now we may not be as organized as they are but Ican as an institute is very reasonably organized.

So u really think Ican is more technical than Acca? Thats laughable bro. I don't want to sound inferior but you cannot compare the ecaminers of Acca to Ican, there is a way acca examiners set questions that you must actually be very knowledgeable and technical to that paper to get something out of it.. Cramming and pouring doesn't help in Acca one bit, you can't rely on calculations only to pass Acca too as several interpretations and comments are required.

Am pretty sure you will also Pm in ican is tougher than what we find in CIMA or that SFM in ICAN is tougher than CFA.. I don't blame you tho cause its easy to be bias especially when you are writing one of the exams in our discourse..

I do ACCA, I know for sure Acca questions are more technical because I solve both ican questions and acca questions. I do ACCA I know for sure even paper P4 is nothing close to what we have in CFA or F5 close to stuffs CIMA (Cant say that for P5 tho).. But the point is I can't be biased, I can easily spot a more technical paper in relation to another when I see one.

I remember waiting ican Fr November skill level question paper to use for preparation of my Acca f7 December diet paper.. I was disappointed with the standard of questions ican set, the 30 marks question on consolidation was a total disgrace to a professional qualification, am sure my lecturer in yr 3 back in uni won't even set such, same went with the questions on auditing, there was hardly anything practical in it, compared to paper f8 in Acca.


Anyway I don't need to say anything more, as I trust that ican is a good professional exam too..

shogz89:
There are some point I will like to correct.. Ican and acca has the same syllabus.. Infact the pack both of them use are both written by Emile wolf.. So it's false to say acca syllabus is bigger than ican.
2) I don't know about other centres but Ikeja centre where I wrote my Ican exam, it's extremely conducive and the ac there can give you pneumonia and o heard same thing in unilag and alimosho..
That dosent change the fact that acca is more recognised globally, buh something is already in motion to close that gap the reason for the change in syllabus in 2014

What do you mean the pack both of them use are by emile? Infact in Acca alone there are about 4 different official study texts written by different authors from different schools/ organisation. There is the popular bpp, kaplan, becker and another one.. Not by same authors

krie00707:
Can the exams be taken online?

for now just f1 to f4.. Other Fs will be implemented soon

ibadanfinest:
Don't be misguided, both ACCA and Ican. are now IFRS compliance. The truth is right now they are the same thing to me, the difference will be that for ICAN your business law, taxation and psaf will be according to Nigeria law while ACCA will be according to UK law,

Lastly firm don't prefer ACCA holders to ican holders because quote me anywhere ICAN has more brilliant candidates than ACCA in fact Nigerian candidate opt for ACCA because they feel its easier to pass.

How can you proof that ican has more brilliant candidates than Acca? Why jump into conclusions?

Acca is a more technical exam than Ican, you cant compare the standards of questions Acca sets to that of ican. The only thing is I know is that ican doesn't have a good quality control review with their questions, this may make them set questions outside syllabus which can be annoying (although I learnt they have looked into this). ACCA on the other hand has a very good quality control review, also when it comes to being more more technical in the accounting profession, it is ever advisable to opt for ACCA.

moscobabs:
thanks bro.

How many paper does Accounting Graduate needs to write before he can qualify in ICAN and ACCA?

10 papers

bebe2:
Really?

So from primary one to SS2 na pple brain use

Interesting

Not totally. What I mean is that I used to depend on people in exam halls then and not just myself. Thats something very popular in Nigerian Secondary schools so why are u surprised? As you can see many people on this thread are still doing it in higher institutions

Rotimisegun:
Person wey go pass go pass

exactly!!

With some comments I see, seems most people here go to the exam hall with the hope of depending on another person, I can't believe people still do this.. I stopped depending on anyone in exams since my SS2

No big deal.. If you are an accounting person and take acca exams, most centres are usually like this, especially in the march and September diets

SaiBuharii:
Online degree...it's nothing.

Wow its amazing how you practically showed the whole of Nairaland how backward you are.

Kirinwa:
Nonsense propaganda. Even if airtel dash me sim card I wil reject it.
They do me strong tin. I subscribed to their 3gb data. I barely used 40mb due to bad network and it expired.

I vote them most unreliable network.

Etisalat RULES!

You can't expect them to have a good network in every single area In the country. Thats why its best to use the best network in your area. I get 1-2mb/sec with mtn and 3-4mb/sec with airtel.. So it depends on ur area, some people stay in very rural areas and should only select the best network there

So why do most countries prefer to refine themselves rather than import?

Lol.. Its even worse because the lecturer looks too young to be flogging a University student.. They are probably not university students tho. No proof.

scanp:
I don't blame Buhari, I blame those Zombies that voter for him

You forgot the millions of people that died under Jonathan? compare to Buhari.. And security of lives is the most important

yetunsbay:
come to think of it.Are those students dullard or d other institutn may lack qualified personnels
maybe those lecturers are sadist

Same here I find it hard to believe they aren't good enough for first class.. The lecturers are probably not good enough

Michizzy:
Same here.... 10 years difference.

Is 8 years ok?

Mprex:
hater

Sorry can you mention few things you have achieved in life that will make me start hating you?

My comment reply to you earlier only gave you a similar feeling of the kind of comment you made, so why is it paining u? Next time mind what you type before posting

legaxi:
All pastors are evil, the same way you are praising your pastor about being a so called man of God that's how the followers of this pastor are praising him, until when they catch your pastor your eyes go clear wright now you're still under illusion.

"All pastors are evil".. Hmmn thats a very huge statement.. I can as well say every human being is evil, therfore you are evil..do u accept this?

dyn1800:
LET'S HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD AND CALL A SPADE A SPADE..... WHETHER SELF ACCLAIMED OR NOT THE FACT IS HE'S EVIL AND HE'S A PASTOR.... MAY GOD ALMIGHTY EXPOSE MORE OF THIS EVIL MEN

You cannot be a pastor and be evil at the same time, so lets leave it as "self acclaimed pastor", like the story rightly reads..

olaiya2007:
Mtn magic sim...unfortunately it just got blocked back to my musicplus though

Why wouldn't it get blocked when some dumb people can post it in a very public forum like this where mtn managing director can see... Smh

Chai see idiots everywhere, opening your yansh for network providers to block these tweaks.. You think Nairaland isn't a public forum or what?

Its because of mumu like u guys that made them block a particular tweak that supposed to last at least 6 months, to be blocked yesterday, jeez!!

dyn1800:
SO IT'S FINE IF THE STORY READS A MUSLIM CLERIC

not when he is a 'self acclaimed Muslim cleric ', get the point right dude!!

allanphash7:
Why would he change it ?

because he is only a self acclaimed pastor... Anyone can claim anything

Mprex:
see how the lady is looking much older than him


team 10 years age difference abeg


quote me and die

Who cares? I think 30 years difference is better for u because you would still look older than a '10 years older man' in the future

Wasnt she fair before? Why the unnecessary bleaching? Ladies spoil their own skin themselves

dollarlander:
This week, the God you have come here to talk rubbish on His holy name, will show you that He is God.

I know there people like you but I don't know you can be this ridiculous. Who are you to talk about God that way? Who do you take God for, your mate?

Who are to wish evil to him? Or what do you mean that this week God will show him that he is good, u think God is as dumb as you are? If God was wicked like you, every unbeliever would have been suffering already.

Its funny how so called believers have no atom of love and forgiveness in them, you want to fight for God abi, whats now the difference between you and boko haram? Nonsense.

Too cute

I remember.. Gruesome
