Thank you very much

You are welcome sir

Asour:
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.

Which country does ICAN Grant you exemptions in again I don't think I can recall? Oh I remember now it's in zero counties but it does frant you exemptions for ACCA right ?

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

shogz89:
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.

Well said bro

Brilliant

sylvez:
So,whats the cost of doing ICAN and ACCA

can you please give the break down of the two

For I CAN go to their office at idowu Taylor or I am sure their marketers here on this thread who are attacking me can help you
For ACCA go here https://www.accaglobal.com/hk/en/qualifications/accountancy-career/fees/fees-charges-nigeria.html?countrycode=Nigeria

Select Nigeria and choose the category you will get the info you require

Asour:
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

shogz89:
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

Ugosample:



Look at this guy

Meaning ?

DonroxyII:
Right now I am writing ICAN and I hold it in higher esteem immediately after My ACA , I start writing ACCA (Using ICAN to claim exemptions of course ) after which you keep on and on like that .....
It would be very silly of you not to have written any of the exams and lamenting here .....

ACCA is not Global, it has her jurisdiction too which to me is Europe and Middle east as well as Second world/Third world countries whose Accounting Board has not developed in an international/local sense .....

ACCA doesn't rule North America (USA/Canada) that is CPA, Australia has her own too while India too ......

Accounting Bodies is not about superiority complex nor inferiority complex , Most of them are all members of IFAC and there is minimum standard IFAC expected from them all .....

Nonetheless, your career focus will determine want you want to do ....

ACCA for Europe and Middle east not even all oooo !!
CPA for US or Canada respectively
ICAN for Nigeria and some (west) Africa countries
India has her own and only respect hers alone

Nonetheless, ACCA as a professional accountancy body has wider appeal/acceptability than others no doubt .....

Your career focus should determine what you opt for or you can have them all .... Nothing Mega

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

Your opinion of holding ICAN 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 flawed untrue and detached from reality

Third you refuted the fact that ACCA is global and grants you exemptions in international accounting axams in other countries? This is quite amazing anyways I have come to accept the 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 seems You 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

Ugosample:
are you sure of what you are saying

Acca in America?

CPA is what rules there

I'm not saying you are lying, what I'm saying is that I don't believe you
(well except she has her CPA on a low and did not tell you)
ACCA in America

Learn to read and.comorehend

It is known that California State Board *may* accept some ACCA coursework as part of the educational requirements. Because the ACCA syllabus has changed over the years, you may or may not have your ACCA courses counted depending on when you took the ACCA exam. The only way to find out is to get a credential evaluation report.

SOFP:
@ the bolded
I'm certain you're not an Accountant. Perhaps, a marketer. It is comprehendable that you must eat. Nonetheless, visit a bookshop to get "BRIGHTER GRAMMER VOL 1 TO nth"
I won't dignify you with another response, son!

You said nothing

I asked a simple question, why didn't you get an ACCA degree?

Was it too hard?

I know a friend who has passed all three stages now that is an impressive feat she runs a small aduit firm in America after a career in Access bank she is below 35

Now I hope you don't stop dreaming

Learn to dream big and go for it.
At you comment about me being a marketer I take that as a compliment, I actually started my career over 10 years ago in insurance sales and today the rest is history .

All I can say is ACCA will change your life better be wise

I know all your bosses in I CAN at idowu Taylor there be careful.

I even know those who moved to SAGE . Need I say more ?

Hard work will always over come talent

EwuOjota:
Saraki is going down.

But this his house is fine and spacious. Daura punish poverty by all means.

Saraki has done well for himself and his family. It is time he returns to his place of birth, the United Kingdom.

Nigeria is not ready for a foreign ruler yet.

Why are you so buthurt over Saraki?

SOFP:
Kid, you know nothing!

We all understand

It must hurt you really bad doesn't it?

Tell us why didn't you go for ACCA?

;
You failed the exams repeatedly right ? It's not easy it's really tough those exams we understand

But nothing really good comes easy

Koele Sha we all feel your pains

Hahahahaha

SOFP:
Boy! You know nothing.
Nonetheless, the OP should consult Chartered Accountants / tuition centres around him.

Ignorance really hurts doesn't it ?

Nothing I said that can't be verified on Google but you in the other hand are likely an I CAN holder hence pained beyond belief

buharitill2023:
Can kwakwaso win any local government?
He can only win only his Ward.

No wonder the jobless aggressive lazy idiotic pigs of Bia-fra terrorist want to boycott the election because according to iPods, they said nobody can win buhari in any state.

Cc Seun mynd44 Lalasticlala

This will distract and derail this thread with tribal bashing

Nairalanders please do not misunderstand me ICAN is not totally useless

If you want to work in federal ministry , state ministry , government parastatals or any government owned agency because of the usual Nigerian factor they will request Ican over ACCA despite knowing how useless ICAN is but you know Nigerian backing Nigerian thing? so that's expected.

But if you want to work for a multinational if you are competing against an ACCA holder for the job then forget it.

Government can't influence multinational recruitment policy's to impose their useless chartered certificate hence ACCA prevails

The difference is clear like night and day

SOFP:
Saying companies in NG prefer ACCA to ACA is untrue. I strongly doubt you knowing anything about multinationals in NG. Keep yourself updated.

Hahaha

Let me.guess you studied ICAN instead of ACCA ?

A simple.check on all job boards from monster , to indeed, to ngcareers will tell you the real story you see adverts like
Head of.finance with 10 years experience
Must be Chartered
ICAN but ACCA preferred

Does this look farmiliar?



Better go get ACCA and stop deceiving yourself

You do not know anything about multinationals in Nigeria obviously

From Mobil to Chevron to Microsoft or HP none I repeat none will take an I CAN graduate over an ACCA one in Nigeria
You are a liar

The era of I CAN is long gone, it's like beating a dead horse.

Imagine someone who wants a career in engineering and instead of going to an institution to study engineering thinks by being an apprentice under a mechanic he or she would be deemed certified?

Go for ACCA

Knowledge is power

ednut1:
is ACCA backed by any local or international law or charter Can dey sign FS as an auditor

Please scroll up and read my.posts I have provided enough info which covers your question sir

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

Forget I CAN

Get ACCA don't be deceived

ACCA will open you to global opportunities
Why go through the stress of first getting I CAN before ACCA why not just go directly for ACCA?

when even companies here especially all the multinationals prefer ACCA?

Please let's stop deceiving fellow Nigerians always speak your truth

Representation worldwide Edit
ACCA is represented on many committees and bodies around the world.[49]

ASEAN Federation of Accountants (AFA)
Confederation of Asian and Pacific Accountants (CAPA)
Consultative Committee of Accountancy Bodies (CCAB)
Eastern, Central and Southern African Federation of Accountants (ECSAFA)
European Financial Reporting Advisory Group
Fédération des Experts Comptables Européens (FEE)

Standardcosting:
Before! Not anymore

Ican holders is equivalent to ICAEW of England and Wales. 5 years post qualification proven experience is needed for that.

And now ICAN is made higher in level and grade than ACCA. ICAEW fact finding team made their report concerning it and are signing a *full reciprocal* arrangements with ICAN to obtain their ACA membership *without writing any exams.*

Lies propaganda and trash

ICAN are struggling to remain relevant knowing that in every developed country ACCA is accepted and Nigerians.know this. Hence more have been going for ACCA but being a typical.Nigerian company who instead of building strategically they are seeking to use cheap.propaganda and deceit to woo students

The term 'Chartered' in ACCA qualification refers to the Royal Charter granted in 1974.

Chartered Certified Accountant is a legally protected term. Individuals who describe themselves as Chartered Certified Accountants must be members of ACCA and if they carry out public practice engagements, must comply with additional regulations such as holding a practising certificate, carrying liability insurance and submitting to inspections.

The Association of Authorised Public Accountants (AAPA), one of the British professional bodies for public accountants, has been a subsidiary of ACCA since 1996.

ACCA works in the public interest, assuring that its members are appropriately regulated. It promotes principles-based regulation. ACCA actively seeks to enhance the value of accounting in society through international research. It takes progressive stances on global issues to ensure accountancy as a profession continues to grow in reputation and influence.


These ACCA-X courses are available in over 190 countries worldwide:

Accountant in Business[12] (preparation for FAB/F1)
Management Accounting[13] (preparation for FMA/F2)
Financial Management[14] (preparation for FFA/F3)
Exam passes in these three modules and the completion of ACCA’s Professionalism and Ethics module will lead to the Diploma in Accounting and Business.

Professional partners Edit
Through partnerships with professional institutions, ACCA offers students and members access to other related professionals.

ACCA is one of three professional bodies (Others are the charterholders of Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and MIPA/FIPA members of the Institute of Public Accountants) whose members are recognized by UK's Securities & Investment Institute (SII) as equivalent to full SII membership (MSI).[38] MSI are recognized by national investment professional bodies such as Financial Services Institute of Australasia (FINSIA)[39][40][not in citation given] and Hong Kong Securities Institute (HKSI).
ACCA and FINSIA have a separate global partnership. Under the agreement, students and members of ACCA may obtain advanced standing in the Institute examinations.
ACCA and the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) have a global partnership. Under the agreement, the two organisations cooperate, collaborate and share resources.
ACCA and the Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT) have a global partnership to enable ACCA’s members to take CIOT’s Advanced Diploma in International Taxation (ADIT).
ACCA members may access an accelerated route to Associate membership of the UK Association of Corporate Treasurers(ACT).
ACCA and Investors in People (IIP) agreed to enable IIP-recognised organisations in the UK and Ireland to apply directly for the award of ACCA Approved Employer (professional developments stream.) ACCA members working in IIP-recognised organisations benefit from the recognition of their work-related learning and take advantage of simplified CPD reporting.
Institute of Directors (IoD) and ACCA are working on initiatives to promote good governance and high standards in learning and development. From 2007, ACCA members seeking enhanced skills and improved organisational performance can undertake the Chartered Director qualification – a professional qualification for directors.[41]
Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) in United States agreed that Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) have to pass a final examination to get the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) designation(this policy has been ended in 2013). This is an IMA policy and mirrors privileges of other IFAC bodies, as well as to others with the equivalent of a U.S. Bachelor's degree (any discipline).

Alot of ICAN staff and marketers are on this thread to deceive my fellow nairalanders

Please do not be conned

ICAN is far inferior to ACCA

ACCA gives you global relevance ICAN gives you relevance only in Nigeria and just in government owned ministeries , parastatals and agencies not multinationals in Nigeria

Do you research and see

Standardcosting:
Cost of ACCA though
Now that ICAN= ICAEW automatically!
And ICAEW will give you direct access to ACCA
It is needless to say that ICAN is now superior to ACCA!

ICAN can never ever be on the same level talkless of superior to ACCA

It's like comparing WAEC and SATT

Must you try to deceive people

How do you sleep at night unku?

If Facebook had such an app they don't need you to collect emails anyone can download it from there app stores

Run from this everyone

Abdul4trust1:
explain

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

When you have an incompetent corrupt government like the current APC government who spend more time peddlimg lies , propaganda and meaningless stats the result is that they enabke morally bankrupt individuals like Saraki, tambuwal et al to have the confidence to declare for presidency.

I can't blame then , it doesn't take a genius to see how useless and utterly unfot buhari has been.

Look at this nonsense they are celebrating

Inflation is rising steadily in double digits , the currency is weaker than ever, buhari gooated the currency exchange rate to allow his brothers reap huge benefits in capital market forex trading now foreign investors are running away from such an unpredictable and unstable economy.

At times I wonder when I see people shout sai baba if trully they understand the levels of hunger and suffering to come in the next 4 years if buhari wins again

1. More jobs will be lost
2. More foreign investors will devest from Nigeria
3. The dollar will rise futher
4. Insecurity will get worse and buhari will enforce cattle ranching in states
5. Buhari will imorison those he feels will persucute him when he leaves Aso Rock
6. Food prices, house rent, commodities will soar higher in prices
7. He will imoose more monopolies for dangote
8. Nigeria may sink into civil war and Red media will not pay for plane tickets for those of you oaif to post sai baba here so you can escape from the war in Nigeria

I think I speak for the majority when I say

WE ARE TIRED OF THIS TOOIC WE DON'T WANT TO SEE IT ON THE FRONT PAGE ANYMORE

THEY DEMOLISHED HOUSES EVERYWHERE EVEN IN LAGOS FOR ROAD EXPANSION

THIS OS JUST OVERKILL

It is okay , let Yinka sort himself

ACCA globally accepted

ICAN localy accepted only

Just saying
