Oh God! What really are your intentions on this forum? If you think the Nigerian programmers aren't smart enough, why not teach them how to be smart or what is the essence of having knowledge you can't share? Or aren't you a Nigerian? if you want Nigeria programmers to be 'smarter' or dumber than they presently are, why not help them  We won't be using the PC if Gates kept his discovery. aitoehigie: Lets try the be innovative.

Infact is like this writer read my mind. My problem with ICAN is why they concern themselves with 'other' issues: What does ICAN want? By Chris Enyinnaya Published: Friday, 27 Jun 2008
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria is in the news again. This time around, it is not fighting ANAN, but it has so much energy that it an afford to fight other professional bodies duly licensed to promote, regulate and advance knowledge in taxation, management and information technology. Skip to next paragraph click to expand image Photo file
ICAN President, Prince Adebajo
ICAN Act of 1965 empowers the professional body to regulate the practice of accountancy in Nigeria, which, in the main, embraces accountancy and audit. ICAN operated as a monopoly institution and an emperor until 1992 when the Association of National Accountants of Nigeria was granted charter status by the departing General Ibrahim Babangida.
ICAN went to court seeking to de-register ANAN by claiming monopoly to regulate and train accounting professionals. It lost.
ICAN members went ahead to promote the establishment of Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria. Because the ICAN clique are old men who qualified through articleship, they did not appreciate the full implication of granting CITN a charter status on the regulating and training of tax practitioners.
When they woke up from slumber, ICAN started fighting CITN. They even sanctioned their members who retained membership of ICAN and CITN. At the end of the day, ICAN lost in the court against CITN.
ICAN members have now regrouped and are sponsoring a bill to expand the scope of accountancy practice to include taxation, management practice and information technology.
That brings us to the question, What does ICAN want?
In a typical business faculty, the subject Business Admin-istration is fragmented into accountancy, business manage-ment, marketing, banking and finance, insurance and actuarial science. The only common thing among these fields of learning is accountancy –– financial, cost and management accounting. Why is it so? Accounting is the language of business, just as Mathematics is the language of engineering. To that extent, a mathematician is not an engineer, and so an accountant is not an expert in management, marketing, finance, banking, insurance and actuarial science. That is why government, in its wisdom, granted charter status to all these bodies of knowledge to practice their profession.
Due to greed, practising ICAN members want to practice everything business, whereas their core area is audit and accountancy. Before the advent of the registration of Chartered Institute of Secretaries and Administrators, accounting firms hired ACIS holders as employees to handle secretarial duties on the accounts they audit. They also hired members of the Institute of Taxation ATII as employees to handle tax computations.
It took crack professionals like lawyers to break the monopoly of ICAN as insolvency practitioners and receivers/managers of companies in liquidation. ICAN, in its arrogance, vehemently opposed the appointment of lawyers to countersign audited accounts during the mid ’80s.
Indeed, ICAN can be said to be a predator. It invaded the banking industry and dominated it for more than two decades, so much so that banks preferred to hire ACA rather than ACIB holders. In fact, ACIB became a persona non grata in an industry whose members it is licensed to train and regulate.
To say the least, ICAN is a very ambitious professional body. During the tenure of Mrs. Adenike Adeniran as ICAN president, in one of their many accounting fora, she said, “We are training accountants to be everything to every business.” Ironically, Mrs. Adeniran is a trained stockbroker. Indeed, she and Mrs. Pat Nwobodo were the first female stockbrokers in Nigeria.
The question is, why did she train as a stockbroker if she is an apostle of accountants being everything to every business?
The worst part of this whole thing is that ICAN is not telling the Nigerian Senate the whole truth. ICAN says it wants to regulate the practice of accountancy with respect to tax practice as it is elsewhere in the world. But in Britain, chartered accountants do not freely engage in tax practice. Only ATIIs practise tax. However, a chartered accountant can, and is allowed to, defend tax computation before the Inland Revenue office on the accounts he audited. No more, no less. To that extent, ICAN can have a bit of the action through that convention.
It is very dangerous to amend ICAN Act to include the practise of Tax. ICAN will abuse it by veering into full tax practice, which only CITN members by current regulations are empowered to do by virtue of the CITN Act 1992.
The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is urged to throw the ICAN amendment bill into the thrash can where it rightly belongs. Any ICAN member who wants to practice tax should write CITN exams. Any ICAN member that wants to engage in management consulting should become a member of the appropriate professional body, and so on and so forth.
ICAN will only be institutionalising laziness and creating quacks out of its professionals if it does not retrace its steps of expanding the scope of accounting practice, the application for which is now before the Senate.
We are now in an era of specialisation. Is the Senate president listening?
