ICAN EXAM TIPS/TRICKS

The INSTITUTE OF CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS OF NIGERIA (ICAN) is a professional accountancy body in Nigeria. It is one of the two professional accounting organizations in Nigeria with regulatory power, the other is the ASSOCIATION OF NATIONAL ACCOUNTANTS OF NIGERIA (ANAN). ICAN has based its practices on those of British chartered accountancy institutes and little to no changes were made when they were accepted by Nigeria.

The institute creates an avenue for professional and student accountants who would like to further their careers in accounting to join the institution and improve their skills. This is done through the yearly ICAN Professional Exam and the ACCOUNTING TECHNICIANS SCHEME WEST AFRICAN (ATSWA) Exam conducted by the institute. Below is the list of minimum entry requirements for ATSWA students;

1. Five (5) credit passes in any subject including English Language and Mathematics in the West Africa School Certificate Examination, General Certificate of Education or Senior School Certificate of Education, NECO equivalent not more than two sittings, or NABTEB.
2. Ordinary National Diploma of any Polytechnic recognized by the Council of the Institute
3. National Certificate in Education (NCE) from any College of Education.

The Accounting Technicians Scheme West Africa (ATSWA) comprises a series of examinations that are written across West Africa.
