PART 2
PE 1 (May 2011- November 2012)

So it was time to take the first stage of the Professional examination (PE1). I was helping out in church on campus while waiting for NYSC posting and convocation ceremony. Studying for the May 2011 diet was not fun, the initial drive I had during ATS was gone. I was disappointed, yes! Because that was not the plan! With the initial plan, I would be chattered by first semester 400level. It was taking way too long than I had anticipated! I was tempted at different times to ditch the whole thing jare! But somehow, I managed to drag myself through.

Accounting Awareness Feature - Reni Ayinde's ICAN journey

Hi everyone!
In contrast to our usual discussion of accounting standards. We have an amazing feature to inspire everyone of us especially those writing ICAN, ACCA or other professional exams.

Please read, share & be inspired! (Post Below!)

I remember November 2006 so well. Gaining admission into OAU was in all wise a feat. But no! I was not in the party of those who would rest on their oars. “I need to start my professional exam ASAP!” I thought to myself. As per serious girl things now, I had it all planned - I would start with the Accountant Technician’s Scheme (ATS) which required only my O level result to register. And on acquiring the ATS certification, I would apply for the professional ICAN exam. Preparing for the ATS exam would equally help my school work (or so I thought), I would be more serious (an idle mind is the devil's workshop) and by first semester 400 level I would have fulfilled the dream I had as a little girl, I would be a Chartered Accountant.
I found out all about ATS/ICAN and gave my dad all the details, I went to ICAN office to get the form for registration, got my books and started reading. My dad was amazed!
