^^^Read the thread, you'll see answers to ALL your questions.

For government sector, hmmmm, whilst the public sector considers qualifications, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll supercede some who have been there for years. You still have to follow CS procedure and include your qualification when promotion exercise comes up.

For the latter, definitely, it'll do. Don't constrain yourself to IBs, perhaps based on your location. IB does not mean commercial bank as you think.

Insurance firms

PFAs

Stockbroking firms among others are plausible places.

Thank you Mustay.
For promotion in Govt ministry I already know that it won't make a difference. I already have an MBA and it made no difference.
My concern centers on how to get the study materials, I have gone thru the thread and it seems almost all participant are based in Lag, ABJ, PH or outside the country.
I understand difference btw IB and commercial banks. I never even thought about PFC or Stockbroking firms. Thanks for the idea.
Please, if can give me a clue on how to go about obtaining the study materials (I want to make sure am fully prepared before registering for the exam, maybe 2014 June diet).

Aiit.

Fellow Nairalanders...greetings!

I hold a first degree in Accounting and also a chartered Accountant.

I wish to write the CFA exams but just wondering why i should.

I currently work as a Budget Analyst in an Oil exploration Company.

This is my first job as an Accountant as i wasted 5yrs in the Banking sector doing branch operations which almost killed my Accounting career.

While undergoing training in this new job i discovered that topics like financial reporting,financial planning/forecast and corporate finance are key issues here.

I want to give this new job my best, hence my desire to write the CFA exams.

For the experienced ones among us, kindly advise me on way forward.

your speedy response will be appreciated.

God's grace to all those who wrote L1,2 N 3 yesterday

Quite frankly, you do not need the CFA charter to do well on your job as a budget analyst. The CFA charter will be too grueling (especially if you do not have a finance/maybe a decent quantitative background) for you to put in an average of 4 years that may not be very relevant to your job. If you are not into investment management or asset management, I bet you, after you will have acquired the charter, you will have realized that you spent a lot of energy on a qualification that may not really enhance your career as an accountant. I will suggest that you simply enrol in a top M.Sc program in Finance in Nigeria if you really need to improve on your corporate finance skills and you are sure of graduating in 1 year or at most 2 years if you wish to take it slowly and you are guaranteed of graduation. The CFA charter will be extremely useful if you are into investment management, investment research, asset management and the likes. It might be relevant in an oil company if you are involved in managing, say pension funds, but most likely your company will outsource pension fund management to an investment/asset manager. Alternatively, you can go for the charter as there are people who sit for the CFA exams as a mark of personal achievement even though they may not be involved in managing any form of investment.

Guyz pls i need your asisstance, one of my friend has been shortlisted for aptitude test with Nigeria liquefied gas, so i want someone that can pls give him the detail of how their interview look like the possiblely and frenquently ask question. I will be greatfull if someone that has took this test b4 can assist. My regard i can be reach through oomisabbey@yahoo.com.

@rixexpat...well said.
Thanks so much pally, i appreciate.
I will think about it.

You asked for two different things.

Anyways, the test for most Oil/Gas firm is STILL Gmat/shl.

Some may give a second test to check specific skills, especially for Accounting/Science disciplines.

It is after you have crossed this stages that you can now talk of interview, which is partly skills related,general oil/gas questions and your normal strength/weakness, why do u want to join us, where do u hope to be in 5yrs bla bla bla.

He should not be intimidated cos he will see First Class Graduates, guys with foreign degrees, professional qualifications etc...all na wash.

All the best to your bro.
