The challenge we have on this side of the world is that we always want to work. See yourself as a solution provider. You can use what you learnt in school as an accountant to develop solutions. in my own little opinion, the opportunities for an accountant are limitless. 1 Like |

xpizzy: Screenshot from index mundi! The breakdown of the population was not really the point I was trying to make. Using the general population to calculate your ratio is not just right as not everyone must have an accountant. Such ratios suits only medical professions. Instead of using the general population, use the number of business firms to calculate your ratio.

scobaba: one part of your comment caught my attention [b]"I don't know of any Multi National firm that employs fresh graduates in Accounting department"...you know why? because Nigerian school systems is from class to another class pseudo work...in western world every course run in schools are more hands on preparing you from Class to your desk work...the big 4 you mention in western world recruits from school direct..fresh graduates...we have them here all over...here schools show you statistics of employment rate direct from graduation and that informs your decision to enroll in that school...we dont have the tools to prepare students on hands on and ready to work from school and that is the essence of going to school to learn to use it to work cos you are taught that...how many schools offering accounting has lab or workshop filled with computers with all accounting softwares used to practically teach students?none...so how do you expect a fresh graduate accountant to hop in with confidence to start the job...here in Accounting depts from year one you are introduced to simply accounting,quick book,SAP,ERP,sage(all lines)Peach tree outdated but would still be taught...students are given live financial transactions to work on as a team and present their financial report,students are giving books of coys to audit...they are sent in teams to part of external coys auditing job as part of group assignments...the reason here to be chartered accountant with the designation is nothing people sought after cos it rarely gets you upper there ..students do this jobs without being chartered cos they already know it from school... if you are an Accountant and earn 200k in Nigeria..better change career..we have people who work in less tedious jobs and profession and earn 1m without being accountants...the era of raising shoulder with the ICAN designation is gone...we have lots of people who read and passed iCAN that cant even balance a book or even provide a trial balance... however,i advise if you are an accountant in Nigeria ,please start gradual transition to IT accounting..think of the future,right now in the western world here Accounting is not even seen as what a lot wants to study...people delve into business intelligence,data sciences,info system security...try and get your CISA,CISM and back it up with Business analysis and you will thank me later..start drifitng to where the world is heading to..dont be stagnant. By the way before i am asked what do i know,i am an Accountant( Accounting academic background),ACCA, with over 14yrs in financial investment,internal control,corporate finance and taxation all in the Maritime Sector.But now no more reside in Nigeria.

gotousa2013:You are definitely not far from the truth sir. All the big four welcome applications from every field and basically more non accounting students get the available slots. Later they write ican and get cahrtered and thats it. The prospects of studying accounting per say is regularly diminishing. I mean whats the need when i can read crop science and become a chartered accountant, den comfortably take over a job meant for management students. |

You have a point based on today, but let me just give you an example. In the future Nigeria will get better in tax compliance and a lot of individuals as well as Businesses 'may' need CAs to file returns e.t.c so all the people that are 15 today would be in the work force tomorrow or will have an MSME. I know of a colleague in the Americas who makes 80% of his revenue in the one or two months preceding April 15 (Annual 1040 filing of tax). He is a CPA and the USA has 650k CPAs that's 13 times what we have in Nigeria (dead and living). So how do you think population does not matter or that the future of this profession is bleak? homesteady: |
