That reminds me, if you know any chartered accountant currently practicing audit in the big four, BDO, Mazars, Grant Thornton seeking opportunities in the UK. The UK offices of these firms are recruiting for experienced hires from Assistant Manager to Senior Manager roles.

Pathway to UK citizenship in 6 years.

And yes, ICAN certification is accepted especially now there’s a pathway to convert to ICAEW


What about someone ready to relocate to the UK using education route then converting from ICAN to ICAEW, can the person get jobs in the UK?

How sir? Any workable strategy to apply when writing ICAN exam would be appreciated.
A lot of my peeps keep telling me the rate difficulty attributed to ICAN exam is overrated. But then I need a workable plan like how to study each subject, how many past questions I should attempt for each subjects etc
Naijabad:
I wouldn't have been where I am today without ICAN.

After qualification, make sure you add some skills relevant to accounting such as excel skill, Sound knowledge of IFRS, Good knowledge of Nigerian tax laws and how to defend tax position, Knowledge of international finance, know how to recover excess bank charges from dubious banks (because 90% of Nigerian Banks are dubious), etc.

If you are good at the above, you will consult for other companies aside your primary place of employment.

What I have earned from side hustle is far more than what I currently earn per month, all thanks to FCA after my name.

As per difficulty, ICAN of today is one of the easiest exams any slowpoke can pass.

So what profession would u advice one to go? And what advice would you give to an undergraduate accounting student who is in his finals but haven’t yet started ICAN exams but has lost desire for the profession...
blank:


It's only lucrative for those working in a Big 4 firm and that's just to give you a boost to get a higher paying job eventually.

If you have plans to relocate, you can use it (ACCA) to get exemptions when converting to whatever country's CA.

Like any other profession, it's not that lucrative and so stressful to acquire.

I'm a chartered accountant but will not advise my kids to go into it not like they would listen. I didn't listen to my dad. It's a bloodsucking profession.

Good day sir..if I got your assertion right, are you saying for one to be eligible to work in the UK with ICAN qualification, one must first register with ICAEW. And if yes can one who didn’t register with ICAEW before possessing ICAN qualification work in the UK as well?
FemiZets:


Of course, you can get a job in UK but you must first register with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) signed a Pathway MOU Agreement with The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) on May 10, 2018. Under this Agreement, ICAN members may apply to become members of ICAEW with or without writing further examinations. My advice is for whoever to first register with ICAEW.

Accounting job is no longer lucrative. Just look for something else to augment while you trust God for a better opening

Be deceiving yourself. Even with Zoology Degree you can still Japa. Wake up from your dream. Many Chartered Accountant roaming the street without job. ICAN has destroyed the profession, any DIck and Harry can come in from any profession and write ICAN. ANAN still has more of restrcition. You better add other skills to what you have.

You clearly don’t know what accounting is.

Also, as long as businesses exist, accountants will remain relevant.

And yes, a zoologist can japa to be washing dishes abroad.

Face reality . I chartered 8 years ago. I have a managerial role. It's not rosy like before. You think when you go abroad as a CA you'll just be given accounting roles. PhD accountant here still do cleaning job when they get there, even doctors. Make I leave you. Add skills to your certificate if not you'll continue dreaming

Menial/non-skilled/skilled jobs are inevitable when you just arrive abroad and trying to find your footing. When you stabilize, you can move to your preferred roles.

I won’t be surprised if the managerial role you hold is in accounting!
