pweetychyka: Don't be misguided, both ACCA and Ican. are now IFRS compliance. The truth is right now they are the same thing to me, the difference will be that for ICAN your business law, taxation and psaf will be according to Nigeria law while ACCA will be according to UK law, Lastly firm don't prefer ACCA holders to ican holders because quote me anywhere ICAN has more brilliant candidates than ACCA in fact Nigerian candidate opt for ACCA because they feel its easier to pass. |

OlujobaSamuel:I really do understand your perspective but I don't want to buy that idea that they are trying to streamline their members...why? . See it's a win win situation for them, so I don't see any reason why they should streamline members. I'm Ican student and I started from the scratch. From my year and half of being a student I noticed most student allow other people's story determine theirs and carrying fake propagada about negleting the main thing(reading and trying to cover syllabus). One thing is that ICAN redefines and changes your personality positively. Something we Nigerians don't like... Bless bro. |

There are some point I will like to correct.. Ican and acca has the same syllabus.. Infact the pack both of them use are both written by Emile wolf.. So it's false to say acca syllabus is bigger than ican. 2) I don't know about other centres but Ikeja centre where I wrote my Ican exam, it's extremely conducive and the ac there can give you pneumonia and o heard same thing in unilag and alimosho.. That dosent change the fact that acca is more recognised globally, buh something is already in motion to close that gap the reason for the change in syllabus in 2014 |

Please who can help me with ICAN study materials for foundation level. I want to start preparing for November diet. |
Re: Choosing Between Acca And Ican by OlujobaSamuel: 2:04pm On Mar 21, 2016 |
Olufunmihimself:that's why I said I'm not sure, but this is Nigeria, I trust our politicians more than any professional, from education to law, to medicine, the so called big wigs can control things just to have an exclusive society for their profession, thus having a leverage in making demands. Sometimes ridiculous unrealistic benchmarks are set to be seen as being the best of the pack. 2 Likes |

ibadanfinest: How can you proof that ican has more brilliant candidates than Acca? Why jump into conclusions? Acca is a more technical exam than Ican, you cant compare the standards of questions Acca sets to that of ican. The only thing is I know is that ican doesn't have a good quality control review with their questions, this may make them set questions outside syllabus which can be annoying (although I learnt they have looked into this). ACCA on the other hand has a very good quality control review, also when it comes to being more more technical in the accounting profession, it is ever advisable to opt for ACCA. 2 Likes |

Greycious:Please don't listen to negative talks... It's a professional course meant for humans not superhumans. Just follow your instinct if that's what you want. The truth is that ICAN redefines and shapes you positively. You're going to let go of many things; it requires alot of sacrifice. ICAN is very jealous, it needs a lots of dedication of time and hard work, that even sometime you'll want to give up because your social life and sleep will be reduced to the bearest minimum. Please just try as much as posible to ignore negative talks, always claim positives for yourself and be true to it. Believe me it will WORTH it at the end of the day. You can drop your email so I can send you the Foundation modules and also specify the course you studied. Bless bro. |

shogz89: What do you mean the pack both of them use are by emile? Infact in Acca alone there are about 4 different official study texts written by different authors from different schools/ organisation. There is the popular bpp, kaplan, becker and another one.. Not by same authors |

Re: Choosing Between Acca And Ican by ibadanfinest(m): 2:56pm On Mar 21, 2016 |
haibe: Everyone claiming acca is more technical than Ican, that's a lie, in fact ICAN had to condescend as people complain ICAN questions are too technical. As for the proof, students who are unable to pass ICAN exam are passing ACCA exam with ease with moatly the knowledge gather while studying for ICAN. As it its now both exam body set virtually same questions, you can use ICAN financial reporting to prepare for that of ACCA. I agree for now we may not be as organized as they are but Ican as an institute is very reasonably organized. 1 Like |
Re: Choosing Between Acca And Ican by haibe(m): 3:07pm On Mar 21, 2016 |
ibadanfinest: So u really think Ican is more technical than Acca? Thats laughable bro. I don't want to sound inferior but you cannot compare the ecaminers of Acca to Ican, there is a way acca examiners set questions that you must actually be very knowledgeable and technical to that paper to get something out of it.. Cramming and pouring doesn't help in Acca one bit, you can't rely on calculations only to pass Acca too as several interpretations and comments are required. Am pretty sure you will also Pm in ican is tougher than what we find in CIMA or that SFM in ICAN is tougher than CFA.. I don't blame you tho cause its easy to be bias especially when you are writing one of the exams in our discourse.. I do ACCA, I know for sure Acca questions are more technical because I solve both ican questions and acca questions. I do ACCA I know for sure even paper P4 is nothing close to what we have in CFA or F5 close to stuffs CIMA (Cant say that for P5 tho).. But the point is I can't be biased, I can easily spot a more technical paper in relation to another when I see one. I remember waiting ican Fr November skill level question paper to use for preparation of my Acca f7 December diet paper.. I was disappointed with the standard of questions ican set, the 30 marks question on consolidation was a total disgrace to a professional qualification, am sure my lecturer in yr 3 back in uni won't even set such, same went with the questions on auditing, there was hardly anything practical in it, compared to paper f8 in Acca. Anyway I don't need to say anything more, as I trust that ican is a good professional exam too.. |

ebuksy: Bros, I am FCA (ICAN), before leaving Nija, I did some of these foreign "over-rated" exams (ACCA & CIMA), and completed them back to back. This was with the pressure of work. ICAN is still the toughest and the BEST. May not yet have the recognition outside Nigeria, but no ICAN member can be stranded in either ACCA or CIMA. If you CAN PASS ICAN, these ones are BEANS!!! Quote me anywhere in this WORLD. Just another correction, CIMA is tougher than ACCA and is now recognised in US (CGMA designation is offered qualified members by both CIMA (UK) and AICPA (US)). The name is I CAN!!! Go for it as a sure foundation for your accounting designation. The stress you will pass through will prepare you for a jolly ride over ACCA. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Validated: Lol bro, you are speaking like you don't even have knowledge of a simple learning affect, no offence but I expect you to know better. If after you have done ican, I don't expect you to have much problem with Acca, if any (compared to someone that hasn't done any prof exam before), this is because there must have been a learning effect all through your doing ican.. Its the same with someone who has done Acca, I don't expect him to find ican hard at all because of the learning effect. Saying ican is the best is just your opinion, I know people who are chartered accountants under ican and still finding certain papers in Acca problematic, (although this ordinarily shouldn't be the case).. A lot of factors comes into play in how you approach and can handle subsequent professional exams.. |
Re: Choosing Between Acca And Ican by Validated: 3:22pm On Mar 21, 2016 |
maxidgreat: CIMA awards ACMA and CGMA designations on qualifying. With ACMA, you can join CPA, CMA (Canada) on reciprocity, even as at today. With CGMA, you are recognised by AICPA (US). Check out details on www.cimaglobal.com. If you can, go for CIMA. Reason, you can get ICAN on a platter (not sure how many papers you would be required to write now). Again, you become CPA (Canada) on landing Canada and you can vie off to US and use your CGMA. However, note that CIMA is TOUGH also and requires EXTENSIVE reading. It is DOABLE, just be focused and deactivate your NL, Twitters, FB, and face your book for the period. Joke sha!! |
