Please I need an advice on my career. I am a Chartered Accountant ACA. I got chartered in 2009. Come 2015, I want to add another certificate to my career, but am confused as to what to do next (i.e. the next professional course or next career line to tread).

Kindly help and advice me.

Thanks in anticipation of your response

What is your academic qualification? It will help to give you a good advice.

Well done! You should enrol in the CFA programme. There is a scholarship available for it too.

Please how can I go about it, I was thinking that the profession is for people in the Banking sector. I also heard that the pass rate is less than 4% in Nigeria. Kindly Advice me. Thank you

Good you have a degree in accounting.

Why don't you go for ACCA dip(IFR) to broaden your understanding of IFRS.

On the alternative, you can opt to do Msc in Accounting.

Thanks.

The opportunity of the qualification is that it is rare. Hence its being "hot cake". Following your ACA qualification, you will be a good fit.
On the pass rate, it is challenging. Not only for Nigerians. But with the right preparation, it's doable.
For now, pursue the access scholarship and drop a GOOD application. You would get it!

That's good to hear. I never knew there was such opportunity. Please what's the requirement for the scholarship?
