Career / Re: 5 Reasons Why You Should Write ICAN Instead Of ACCA by cooa(f): 12:25pm On Apr 21, 2017 |
optimusmind: I also disagree with this! (1) Yes ACCA is more expensive, but ACCA has made it easier, now students in Nigeria can pay in Naira. Its still more expensive than ICAN, but their rates are lower than black market rates for forec exchange. You can even pay in bits, which is what I did to save up for my exams. (2) No resources are not limited! don't be average, waiting to be spoonfed. Aside from the past papers on the ACCA website, there are several materials available online for free. www.countingonaccounting. even called for requests for syllabus areas students would like to see treated. (3) Dear fellow, this is so untrue! To sign off on audits, an ACCA accountant just needs to register with the Financial Reporting council (FRC). Again, as an accountant in a firm, I'd like to add that you'll most likely be at a very senior level if you are signing off on audits. I work as a mid-level accountant in the private sector, and I oversee audits, but I've never signed-off on one. I've been preparing reports for investors in different countries, and my membership number is good enough. (4) Easier to pass! This is such a lazy statement it makes me smile I suppose it points to our inclination as Nigerians of wanting things the easy way. FYI, I passed most of my ACCA exams studying on my own. I had to study on my own because I couldn't afford lectures. (5) Pay your taxes if you want to be patriotic. Also buy Nigerian products. (6) Both bodies have their place, it does not do to give comparisons based on wrong information. To anyone planning on becoming a chartered accountant, I trust you have enough sense to research your options, considering your future goals. also, please read www.countingonaccounting., its for aspiring accountants. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Perfectdanny: You can start anytime you are able to. As a geography student, you wouldn't qualify for any exemption (which would be the major reason to wait till you graduate). If you are able to, the earlier the better I say. |

Career / Re: I Qualified As A Chartered Accountant With ICAN & ACCA In The Same Diet by cooa(f): 10:14am On Mar 15, 2017 |
Ugosample: Hi Hayoakins, does NYSC allow part time students enroll in the programme? As of 2013, I know it wasn't allowed, if it now is, I know a couple of people who would be interested. For others looking for tuition centres, have you considered doing ACCA on your own? there are several educational sites with free lectures if you haven't got the time or funds for tuition. Of course, these lectures may be generic, but should be helpful. www.countingonaccounting. |

ELITE12: ohh and also as a fresh graduate how do i pursue or start my ACCA Hi, If your university degree is in accounting, or a related field, you can register (& perhaps get exempted from some papers) by going on the www.accaglobal.com, and register through the 'student' tab. If you don't have a related degree, don't worry, you can still register through the above link. Having a Bsc in accounting is not a prerequisite for ACCA. infact, one of my mentors had his degree in biology (or something like that) check out http://countingonaccounting./ for exam tips |

Career / Re: ACCA Or ICAN: Which Is Better? by cooa(f): 3:09pm On Oct 16, 2013 |
Hi Nairalanders, For Shex202: you want the ACCA qualification, not foundation. If you have a Bsc (I'm assuming its in a related field of study, because of exemptions). The foundation course is for those who have no prior knowledge of accounting and want to build-up knowledge. Either way, the papers in the foundation course builds up to having the ACCA qualification if you continue. prizes available for aspiring accountants here: http://countingonaccounting./2013/10/16/take-a-break-win-a-prize/ |

Career / Re: Acca Exams; Which Way? Atennd Tutotrial Centres Or Home Study by cooa(f): 11:48am On Aug 06, 2013 |
Hello, I think there is no BEST way to go about it, each person should choose depending on his/her circumstances. I passed all of my ACCA exams (except tax) by studying on my own, but initially, that was because I couldn't afford tuition classes. But by the time I could afford it, I discovered i could tailor my study-time for myself, then I started helping friend to do what i did, because frankly, some of the things some tuition places give can be gotten for free, plus i feel any money saved can go towards next exam. To that end, we started a blog (for help/tips/info) for ACCA students it is - countingonaccounting. |
Career / Re: ACCA Or ICAN: Which Is Better? by cooa(f): 11:36am On Aug 06, 2013 |
ritze: Serendipity - I reckon you'll be exempted from some courses, but the best thing to do is to go on the ACCA site, and ask. I went the CAT route, and was exempted from F1-F3; but before you decide on doing the CAT, I strongly advise you check with ACCA, you may be exempted from some of the introductory papers. As for how ling it will take you, it really depends on how quickly you go through the exams. I did my CAT in 1.5 years, without failing any, and I studied alone without lectures. I'm also an ACA now A lot of my friends are starting their ACCA exams, and i'm amazed at how people misinform them, and try to rip them off, in the name of tuition/expert advise/study materials, so I started a blog for ACCA students in Nigeria - countingonaccounting.[size=10pt][/size] Please join us, there, ask questions, get free study tips and information |

Hello, A few of my friends are starting/re-registering for their ACCA exams, and I've heard a lot of (mis)information about the exams, so I started a blog for them - countingonaccounting. . Yes the exams require some effort, but it isn't as hard as people make it to be. half of the stuff people pay for can be obtained for free (if you know how) Having support helps if you will be spending 3 to 4years on the qualification. ...So please ask questions, visit countingonaccounting. |
Career / Re: ACCA Or ICAN: Which Is Better? by cooa(f): 1:59pm On Aug 02, 2013 |
Hello Niaralanders, we cannot say ACCA is better than ICAN. ICAN is a national exam (like ICAEW), while ACCA is a global thing. The advantage of ACCA over ICAN (in Nigeria) is that (1) It is more prestigious (2) the flexibility of being able to do less than 4 papers at a go - so you can prepare at your own pace, & pay for what you can afford. Most Graduates, will be exempted from 1 or more papers at the introductory level (check the ACCA site). Quite a number of my friends are starting ACCA exams, and find the registration & exams daunting, so I started a blog for them: countingonaccounting. its for help/tips, some tuition, and to prevent them from some of the mistakes I made when doing my ACCA exams |
