Hopebringer:Sure it has a wider reach in terms of recognition. But it isn't 'everywhere' yet. The US for instance, would still require a CPA (their equivalent certification) for public practice as they do for quite a number of professions ( Requiring a certification that was developed locally). N.b. The US hasn't adopted(at least not formally) IFRS yet. which is the foundation of most European Accounting Certifications including ACCA. |

Hopebringer:bro at the end of the day, we all have exemption to get each other's certification either from ACA - ACCA or vice versa, as far as Nigeria is concerned you can't sign a financial statement if you don have your ACA, even though acca has more global appeal. If you no get money no go write acca and there is nothing stopping you from getting all. ACA, acca, cima cpa. All na to get that dream job at the end of the day your experience might be the deciding factor there are many multinational CFO'S in nigeria that don't have acca. Just know what your plans are and choose wisely or in other of priority if you will be writing more than one of those certifications. 3 Likes |

Hopebringer: Granted. But your statement implied that with ACcA alone, one is good to go anywhere in the world. I have observed that even though a concept enjoys almost global acceptance, It may not necessarily translate to acceptance in the US without going through their standards there. Of Course no Financial concept is truly (technically) global if it still suffers restrictions in a place like the US. 2 Likes |

I just wanted to correct a statement you made about its RAW 'global' reach. In fact, I think this comparison is unfair as ACcA was founded in 1904 in what has been one of the most developed countries in the world.

Judging from the debate /conversation of both parties, ACCA is more convincing with facts.... The ICAN people can't even put words together on NL to save the qualification. In the real world ACCA is better than ICAN... Start by comparing their website, course content, Acca exams are being conducted In over 50 countries, 4 times a year... Apparently, ICAN is following ACCA footsteps, 4 times a year exams, modification if syllabus. I can't even argue.. 1 Like |

Hopebringer:. Your write-ups are filled with typographical errors. And to be honest I have found it difficult to comprehend what you have written. I am in my final stage in ICAN and I hold it in high esteem, I also plan on getting ACCA and CFA certification. It depends on what you want. I stand to be corrected, you need ICAN to sign a published financial statement in Nigeria. That's a plus for ICAN members, to me, I think its better to get both. |

tohbank:That's what most if them don't understand, getting both is the best thing, I have my ACA and am currently writing my diploma in ifrs (ACCA), and my plan is to opt for Canadian CPA thereafter now that you only have to write case studies in CIMA after 5 years post ACA qualifications which automatically gives you CPA,.. One just have to be strategic if not you go just waste money duplicating certifications. 3 Likes |

Whether Ican or Acca, just ensure you strive to be a competent accountant; in most cases experience gets you the job before qualifications. Even as an ican candidate, you can get enriching resources in the ACCA website to enhance your study and career. |

I will strictly advice Op to go for the both if he own the required fund at his disposal, instead of initiating Unneccesary comparison. Even ICAN board knows this, they came to my school(UNN) months back and the way they were talking about ACCA strictly showed that they see them as a threat (intriguingly, its very obtainable to see a professional body in a tech driven and advance country as one) ICAN is not a bad bet tho, its the best Professional body domicile in Nigeria and if not in Africa ( stand to be corrected tho) so owning a proffesional certificate with ICAN its a paste on the cheese likewise with ACCA. Its obvious you cannot compare warri wolves with Barcelona (no way!). The amazing thing is that after 5years cognate practise you will be awarded ICEAW automatically, and not only that, you will be able to opt for CIMA and start from case study, and note, signing a published fin statement requires a professional accountant who own its certification with the body in that country(that is the rule here) ICAN has come with lotta incentives. Again i advice you go for both, cos u may not flourish well in Nigeria with ACCA only. because it has its equivalent around. 1 Like |

Okay, this is great, the main usefulness of Nairaland is to share information, which this tread has done to those interested in choosing Accounting as a profession. I am a member of ICAN by choice. My intention (career path) is to grow and be successful in Nigeria, which I believe ICAN can make me achieve. I have learnt a lot about ACCA on this tread, but based on my career objective, I still prefer ICAN, It is Nigerian, I am in Nigeria doing considerable well with no intention of travelling out. Ordinarily, with the adoption of IFRS by majority of the nations in the world, A good accountant with any professional body recognized under IFA, should be able hold his/her ground in any IFRS adopted country. For me, other benefits I see with ICAN, include, association and mingling with a lot of professional accountant in Nigeria through Conferences and Seminars, being able to practice as professional accountant or Auditor sign sign financial report, and beside with ICAN, you can be a member of CIPFA, and just learnt, ICAEW without an exam. For me for now, this is enough for me to realize my career goal. The summary of my post, is that, think of what you want to achieve as a person or as an accountant, then think of which path will give you satisfaction. Please pardon grammatical or typo errors.
