Dammyllionaire:Also since you have BSC accounting + ACA , since you do not want to limit yourself and the course you studied is irrelevant according to your analogy , you ought to be applying for engineering ,medical , law jobs then. They will gladly accept you since all courses are irrelevant. |

Re: Bsc Accounting Is Becoming Irrelevant !!!! by luvola(m): 12:26pm On Aug 19, 2014 |
Estorico: My brother I love this comment. That's why I see this ican people as thieves sometimes. Can a graduate of Accounting say he or she wants to go to Law School? Any body can go for ican and then become a chartered accountant. A graduate of engineering,after years in school will become qualified and be called a chartered accountant just like that.R I P to BSC accounting certificates if I.C.A.N makes ACA equivalent to BSC. I heard ICAN is heading for that. |

sextail: I get where the OP is coming from but he should know that the first degree is nothing but a meal ticket. Most of us went to the university to study a course base on our childhood perspective or dream but that changed when we discovered our potentials. If an engineering student can prove to be much more capable in accounting field, after (s)he is certified, why waste resources on another applicant because (s)he has a degree in Accounting!Da bomb |

Engineering, Medicine and Science graduates will always be able to step into commercial carreer line after university education because majority of commercial courses can be read and passed with a little application of logic. Fortunately, logical reasoning with critical analysis is the bedrock of all engineering and science related courses. Do you know why commercial students can not come into medicine or engineering careers after graduation? The fundamentals required for those starts from SS1 in secondary school. What commercial students learn about their courses in secondary can be understood by any smart individual in few weeks. That is why science and engineering graduates can read them up and pass these professional accounting exams. 1 Like |

I noticed the rate at which science graduates do pass aptitude test than the commercial graduates. |

I wonder why people comment as if they're 100 percent sure of what they're saying....... Responding to the topic tthat brought about this argument, what we are mostly taught in school as an accountant is different fom what is applicable in the real term.. Citing myself as an example, I graduate in the year 2013 and we were taught SAS which is outdated.... Companies started using IFRS between 2010 and 2012. So how do you expect companies to recruit someone with Bsc or HND when we have someone that has ICAN or ACCA that have gone through the breath and length of IFRS even if such person has Bsc in another course.......... That aside, the job entry test will always favour science students because they're good at calculations cos most of their courses require it, even without calculator. However, I will say that is applicable to GMAT.... Considering other test that involves graphical interpretations, I don't see any reason, an accounting graduate should not perform well in tests like that.... Also, it will be a sad news if we can corroborate the statement made by someone earlier that the science students perform better than commercial students in training where accounting and other management related topics are being taught... If that is the case, then Bsc in accounting people in such training schools have is just useless cos people that doesn't see a chance on their field crossed to accounting and even performed than them. |

Op,you are right. The same thing is happening in education. Alot of graduates who are not trained in d university as a teacher,now engage in teaching. And when you ask them,they will tell you "am managing teaching till i get a better offer". |

@OP is partially right. When it comes to recruitment in all d banks & financial institutions, d playing field is level whether u studied accounting, engineering, geology or even yoruba. It isn't right but dats d kind of country we find ourselves. |

Yinkatolu: ICAN is profit oriented that's why they open the door for all Thank you very much. Even this is one of their lapses and it’s not peculiar to ICAN. From examination question to marking answer scripts. From council members to exam committee. From accreditation to qualification etc. They are profit oriented institute and that's why they open the door for all. I wish you attend sensitisation seminar organised by ICAN on Saturday at Airport Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos where one of the lecturer compare the institute with ACCA in term of profit. Let my start like this. HND AND B.Sc. The academicians/university dons and the MDs of many (not all) organisation cause and profit from this. HND holder can't progress after getting to particular level of organisation hierarchy whereas they have more technical experience than their counterparts. In ministry, you can't equate HND and B.Sc. graduate. B.Sc. AND ICAN To be candid, ICAN can’t not manage this dichotomy because of the Nigeria factor (corruption). Most higher institutions who are offering accounting do not want accreditation exercise in their school. Also, how many school did ICAN ready to partner with? (Don't mention BABCOCK UNIVERSITY). There are so many things wrong with ICAN syllabus 2010 that is why they can't wait till 2015 to introduce the new one. We hope this one will be all right. Back to topic of discussion, immediately after your B.sc/HND qualifications please go for (Audit/Tax) training. There are lot of opportunities/exposure out there. You may not even take ICAN or work for any organisation before you prosper. Please don't wait for BIG FOUR, they will do you little favour most especially if don't qualify in time. Thank you. 1 Like |

chemicstein:. You see, you have to pass the aptitude text first, which i know a science graduate or an engineering graduate is good at, especially an engineering student......i tell people if the aptitude test is purely accounting questions, you can now say an Accounting graduate will have an upper hand than a science graduate.... I am an Accounting graduate, i tell myself at times assuming i had studied another course and probably do ICAN then i will still be on the same level with someone that studied Accounting. Most of my friends that are chartered now and studied mayb mathematics in school use to laugh and say are we not the same thing now? ...... I feel the fault is from the INSTITUTE and also the COMPANIES, imagine an HR manager telling me i prefer science students because they are better than Accounting students because they are fast in learning, can you imagine.... And regarding the softwares anybody can learn those softwares so far you will be trained....in as much as Accounting graduates cannot just migrate to a science field and practice due to some of their technicalities i feel the body regulating the whole Accounting thing in this country should also put some form of technicalities in our field too, to at least make it a bit more challenging for those that dont have BSC/HND in Accounting....i cannot just go and do a professional course in medecine now and move to the theartre na / THATS MY TAKE 3 Likes 1 Share |

Nice thread for discussion. Another problem with this is the type of industry a company is engaged in. For instance, an oil and gas company who is into a lot of engineering works like drilling, construction and mining would prefer a candidate from the engineering department because they can be versatile and would understand the rubrics involved in their work while an accounting graduate will find it difficult to understand the terms and activities involved in an engineering or construction company. An accounting graduate cannot easily change roles and help out in urgent situations. Thus these companies would prefer an engineering or science graduate, who is versatile and can come in handy in urgent situations. If you study the employment sector, you would discover that companies into commercial activities like buying and selling, service sectors logistics, real estates, and transportation always required Account graduates or courses with an Accounting background while those in major engineering, construction, medical and mining sectors prefer to employ graduates from the science and engineering courses to handle their accounting needs. I believe this is one of the reasons the KPMG and the likes always prefer graduates from engineering and pure sciences. (Their major clients operate in the mining, drilling and construction sectors). 1 Like 1 Share |

I think its better for ican and all other Accounting certifying bodies to certify only those with accounting as their first degree. since an accountant cant go to law school or even make it compulsory after first degree u do either one yr or six months program that makes u a chartered accountant |
