It's a pity that this post is misleading. Both ICAN and ACCA has its own uniqueness and peculiarity. For those thinking of which one to pursue, it all depends on your choice, but note that there are some slight difference. E.g Nigerian Tax system is different from other countries, so taxation in ICAN and ACCA differs and if you're to practice in Nigeria, you must be versed in the Nigerian Tax system.
For further information, you can google it and have better knowledge than reading an unfounded criticism. 3 Likes |

In response to this thread : www.nairaland.com/3743965/5-reasons-why-should-write
I would like to use this golden opportunity to enlighten Nigerians on why any aspiring accountant should write ACCA exams instead of ICAN.
Before I continue, I will like to say here that comparing ACCA to ICAN is like comparing Ronaldo De Lima to Emile Heskey. Ignorance is really not bliss!
1. RECOGNITION
It goes without saying that ACCA being a global body for accountants is recognised in almost every part of the world. If you aspire to live and work in/outside Nigeria then ACCA is the answer. In June 2016 ACCA had 188 000 members and 480 000 students from 178 countries. There is little wonder as to why the body is growing in leaps and bounds globally. ACCA is not recognised in only a few countries.
2. EXAM FLEXIBILITY
ACCA exams are highly flexible. They are both computer and paper based. Furthermore,In Nigeria the first three exams are offered in an on-demand computer based format. This incredibly increases your pass rate since you are working at your own speed, time and convenience.
3. QUALIFICATIONS AND CERTIFICATES
On your road to becoming an ACCA member you have a chance of grabbing a number of certificates and qualifications before being awarded a B.sc and/ M.sc(Hons) in Applied Accounting from Oxford Brookes University, UK. Qualifications includes : Awards of excellence, Diploma in Accounting and business, Advanced Diploma in accounting and business.
Furthermore, every year ACCA offers scholarships to 5 students who attain a certain performance.
4. EASY TO PASS
It is below average students who prepare badly that always complain about ACCA being difficult. I don't know if it's because of our poor educational system or those who enrol for a ACCA in Nigeria are just below average.
With a study material and a revision in 3-4 months you get awarded an accounting diploma which qualifies you as a junior accountant after passing just three on demand computer based exam exams. Flexibility!
5. STUDY MATERIALS
ACCA study materials are the easiest to get for any professional accounting exam online - with just a phone call you can get any hard copy study text/ kits of your choice at your disposal. It took me two days to order and receive F6 FA2016.
Let me also add that there are a lot of ACCA free learning resources/ classes online. For example Opentuition, LSBF and YouTube offer free lectures videos and class notes tailored according to ACCA syllables from F1-P6.
Please my fellow ACCA students don't be moved. You are on the right path. Hardwork and a determined heart will get us there. You don't need to waste money paying for ACCA lessons when there are a lot free lectures online, waiting for you to download them. Just get your study and exam kits and do a lot of practise. Goodnight to us! |

Anybody telling you ICAN is better than ACCA, doesn't know what he or she is saying. ACCA isn't that easy to pass if you do not study the exam format properly. All your questions are in applied format. You'd be given a real company situation and you'd need to solve the problems based on your knowledge of accounting. Moreover, if you want to pass properly, take the exams in bits so you can have enough time to read for each paper. 2 Likes |

ICAN and ACCA both have their strengths. For me, ICAN is;
1. cheaper to write
2. Developed for Nigeria
3. Easily convertible to ACCA if interested
4. Recognised by top local professional courses such as CITN a
5. And many more And only afonja passes it. |

Well you have made few good points up there but to me, they both belong to the same mother IFAC and recently ICAN is working towards its courses getting to the same level as that of ACCA, that is to qualify for ICAN you write all papers in ACCA exam just about two papers left excluding tax and more so, ICAN is working for global recognition of it's members few countries has signed the Mou with ICAN and lastly, if you are ACCA holder, there are limitions to what you can do in Nigeria e.g you can't sign on FSs of your employer in Nigeria except you convert by writing few papers. I think we all need to learn to promote what we have including our country Nigeria so we get global recognition just like other professional bodies.
