ICAN is now common. Every profession in Nigeria is now over saturated because bad governance. Our graduates has no jobs. VOTE PETER OBI FOR PRESIDENT!

You should have shown how many people he recruited into the civil service, and as teachers, librarians, nurses, pharmacists, laboratory technicians etc to significantly improve the employment situation in Anambra during his eight years.
If you don’t and can’t do that, are you just a liar like Peter Obi

In a sense ICAN is overrated because of technology in another sense it is a river of opportunity for those who have ICAN skills because they can leverage on technology to create great products that solve our daily problems.

Good day fellas!!

Early this morning I log into my LinkedIn account and on my newsfeed I saw series of congratulatory messages and inspiring quotes from peeps on the ICAN results that just got released...

Although, I was happy for them, at least it’s time to enjoy the reward of their handwork and investment paid off...but while on this, my mind was troubled not for bad reasons though, but in that the number of graduating chartered accountant are way high in there numbers and some student still in school are veering to get chartered as well...with this in mind I began to question myself if ICAN as it is today is still worth it or just overrated given the basic law of demand and supply...more chartered accountant plunging into the system with few but highly competitive job around..what does the future hold for this peeps......

Conversely, began to notice that most people who became chartered and those who are one day looking forward to be one are doing for The grams, to feel among, to impress friends and family that they are smart as most saw that only a genius can pass the exam according to them....

The craze to feel counted and ego boosted( not all though) has made the profession too saturated leading most accountant unemployed or underpaid( the ones who saw it as their career life goals)....

With this in mind is the ICAN journey a worthy to embark on( for who who are yet to, myself inclusive) or is it just overrated...

Ps on the level of difficulty attach to the exam how true is it.. for those who has written... I have seen and come across peeps who brag about its difficulty in a bid to make themselves special and downplay the efforts of others who had failed in the exam... this is particularly common among the current crop of ACA...

It there a secret or special kind of strategy and approach one need to know or failed to know that makes the ICAN look as if it’s only surmountable by the genius alone....

ICAN is still very good. I think IT makes companies to recruit less accountants.

No knowledge is over rated, no certificate is over rated

If you think certificate is over rated go and see what our olodo Politicians are going through to get certificate like Buhari and Adeleke


On a more serious note, go and get a master's degree in Business Administration or Economics while you get you ICAN side by side

Powerful Artificial intelligence softwares are taking over Accounting Profession slowly and you need to display more competence in business world to get a job

Take a look at QuickBooks packages, there is no accounting for small business that it can handle

Re: Is ICAN As It Is Now Overrated by meemee(m): 2:21pm On Jun 25, 2022
Sure. ICAN appears to deceive. They preach integrity yet the Nigerian economy they have been un charge of for decades has crumbled under the heavy weight of corruption. I say this because for years her members has been placed in virtually all key areas of the country's economic system but why this same system is collapsing because of officials taken advantage of many loopholes to siphone funds is what I dont know. The institution is not only overrated but has failed the country.

Re: Is ICAN As It Is Now Overrated by Laxy009(m): 2:23pm On Jun 25, 2022
ICAN is never overrated . I’m a qualified member. I qualified two years ago but I did my induction last month after meeting the 36 months of experience for accounting graduate . I’m the 3rd person in my family to hold such certification and it’s not ending there as I’m currently preparing for CISA & CIA exams. What will make you stand out despite having ICAN is continuous personal development . You need to keep abreast with latest in the industry. Up skilling and up skilling is a must .

Despite the number of people that keeps writing and passing ICAN exams,we don’t have up 70k ACAs in this country . Even before my induction this year ,I got over 4 mouth watering offers that I have to sit down and pick the best and turn down the rest . I still got a call from the head of Internal audit of one of those firm asking me if I would still love to join them if they review the benefits upward . As a young ACA ,the opportunities are quite enormous if only you see the bigger picture . I have friends that have gotten a good job in Uk,Canada,Us and Netherlands just because of their experience and ACA. They got relocated and the companies paid for their visa and flight including their immediate family .

People that don’t have such certificate see it as nothing but people that have such see it as something because they know what it takes to have ACA at the back of your name . You can’t work in the big 4 like PwC,Deloitte,Kpmg and EY without having to back up your first degree certificate with a professional certification like ICAN/ACCA.

ICAN exam is never easy but with the right preparation and mind set you’ll surely pass if you know what you are doing . My little bro recently wrote 5 papers in skills level of the exam and passed 4 and he’s on his way completing the rest of his papers .

Cheers to your success !

IrepChrist:
I can remember when the board started in the early 90's it was prestigious to be called a chartered accountant but this days there are lots of accounting applications that has redefined accounting. IT and accounting are now 5&6.

Brethren Jesus loves you. There is eternity after our sojourn on health. It pays to live for Christ and to die would be gain.

Please repent today.

Who told you the board started in the early 90s?

A simple search would have saved you from exhibiting your ignorance on a world wide scale.

You will use your hand and mouth to spoil professional qualification in your country but will be slaves to those from abroad such as ACCA, no wonder NECO is not regarded outside of Nigeria the way WAEC is adored.

My sister worked hard to ve a certified chartered accountant, she studied hard while raising 3 kids and working as well, and posts like this sounds foolish.
