SaiBuharii:
Starting from the Last there is no "guarantee" of getting a good job after writing Ican. But there are "possiblilities" depending on your defination of a good job.

Secondly uncle tells you to start applying for schools does not mean "uncle has gotten visa for you and paid school fees, means you are not sure of the certainty of travelling, so no harm in continuing with ur ican and applying by the side.

In conclusion, continue with ur ican, when time to travel reach go. And if you stay behind, to get a good job involves getting a 2.1, under 26, ability to pass tests and being confidents at interviews, and then #oluwaMustbeInvolved. That's all.

thanks!!! yes!! fees and everything are all ready!!

Something Really Urgent To Ponder On.................... Most times when we walk into big malls, boutiques, supermarkets, we never question their prices. We pay exactly what we see on the price tags and even hand out tips to the staff. But the moment we are out of these shops and want to buy banana, our bargaining game gets off to the roof. Poor widow with 12 hungry children at home tells you banana is N100. She even takes out her time to explain how difficult it was for her to even buy it, how the economy is so tough. But we insist that if it's not N50, we are not paying. Some of us even step back into our cars and make to drive away. But because 'half bread is better chin chin', this woman is forced to call you back and sell to you at little or no gain. In her heart, she cries, she's worried about how she'll survive with her children. She silently reassures herself that 'It's well. God will definitely provide.'' While you happily chop the luscious banana. Take some seconds out and think about this, guys. Please don't bargain hard with small vendors like this. They do business not to buy designer bags, Gucci shoes but to LIVE and EAT!

[quote author=sureguy02 post=36192130]You need to put the following factors into consideration before opting for either one

1. Prestige/Recognition: ACCA is recognised all over the world except in a few countries like canada and the US. ICAN is more recognised than ACCA in Nigeria. ICAN is preferred in the Nigerian setting. You could settle for ICAN if you do not pan to work outside Nigeria, most especially if you have plans of setting up your own consultancy firm. Only people that qualified with ICAN are allowed by law to practise in Nigeria.

2. Cost: ACCA is far more expensive than ICAN. The current exchange rate is not helping matters. Each ACCA paper now goes for about 32K!!!. ICAN is relatively cheaper. The annual subscription for ACCA is now about 30K for students and 70K for members. ICAN is definitely preferable in terms of cost.

3.Flexibility/Results: ACCA exams are more flexible. They have increased the number of sittings in a year to 4(March, June, September and December). ICAN exams are written in only May and November. ACCA students already know the date results would be released even before writing the exams, while ICAN students need to speculate. ACCA is far more organised in this regard.

4. Entry Point: Non accounting graduates start ACCA from the scratch. Accounting graduates are given exemptions in four papers. Non-accounting students also start ICAN from the scratch except for some courses that get exemption in paper A1(Quantitative techniques in business). People that qualified under ICAN need to write 5 papers under ACCA, while ACCA peeps need to write only advanced taxation, business law and PSAF.

5. Venue for Exams: ACCA is written in only major cities in Nigeria while ICAN is written in almost every state. The venues for ACCA exams are more conducive than those of ICAN.

6. Toughness/Difficulty: Many ICAN students think ACCA is very easy. They are wrong! ACCA syllabuses are more robust. Their exams are extremely time pressured. Many people get stuck at some stages. Nevertheless, ACCA exams are easier to pass. This is because the examiners are more lenient. They do not penalise candidates for doing the wrong thing more than once. If a wrong figure is used consistently and correctly in further analysis, the candidate would not be penalised further for the earlier mistake made. I think this is where ICAN is missing it. Passing ICAN is more about luck and grace and not just about the level of preparation or brilliancy. ACCA exams on the other hand are passed by brilliant and diligent students that cover every inch of the syllabus.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria
has called on the Federal Government to stop
the proliferation of accounting bodies in the
country.
The President, ICAN, Mr. Chidi Ajaegbu, who
stated this at a press conference announcing the
50th anniversary of the body in Lagos, noted
several accounting associations without requisite
technical expertise had been springing up in the
last 10 years.
He said, “I wish to use this opportunity to harp
on the need for the government to halt the trend
towards the fragmentation of professional
accountancy bodies in the country. In the last 10
years, many mushroom associations, without any
legitimate claim to technical excellence and
expertise, have been masquerading as
accountancy bodies, fleecing innocent Nigerians
of their hard earned income.
Ajaegbu said a bill on the Chartered Institute of
Management Accountants had passed the
second reading at the National Assembly.
According to him, the CIMA is not related to the
well known CIMA in the United Kingdom, adding
that with ICAN and the Association of National
Accountants of Nigeria in existence, there is no
aspect of accountancy that is not adequately
covered. He said, “In our view, we cannot
rationalise the creation of more accountancy
associations on the altar of commercial
expediency at the expense of the overall national
interest and commitment to professional
excellence.
“Accountancy is not a trade but a distinct
professional calling with internationally accepted
best practices. It must therefore be treated with
the respect it deserves. If the profession is
cheapened and opened to quacks, Nigeria and
the economy will be the ultimate losers as the
quality of financial reporting can only be as good
as its preparers and those who attest to its
reliability.
“The implications of poor and unreliable financial
reporting are too grave to be ignored by any
nation desirous of economic advancement and a
place in the global market. We therefore urge the
government and the National Assembly to resist
the temptation of giving legitimacy to quackery
in the name of satisfying some non-altruistic
interests.”
The ICAN, the chartered accountant said, would
continue to contribute to capacity building and
support the government and the nation with its
technical and managerial expertise.
“We will join hands with the government to build
a better and stronger Nigeria,” he added.
According to Ajaegbu, in the last 50 years, ICAN
has made enormous contributions to the
economic growth and development of the nation.
Reeling out some of the achievements by the
professional body in the last five decades, he
said, “Pursuant to the Act that gave it the
pioneering power to set standards and regulate
the practice of accounting in Nigeria, ICAN has
so far trained and certified over 39,000 chartered
accountants who are variously engaged in the
creation of values in all sectors of the economy.
“At the inception in 1965, it had only 250
members. A review of the manpower profiles of
the various inland revenue services across the
country, the Central Bank of Nigeria, federal and
state ministries of finance, public corporations,
all banks, insurance and listed companies, non-
bank financial institutions, etc, will affirm that
chartered accountants are at the commanding
heights of the economy adding great value to
wealth creation.” www.punchng.com/business/money/ican-urges-fg-to-stop-multiple-accounting-bodies/
