EFFECTIVENESS OF INSTITUTE OF CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT OF NIGERIA AS AN AGENCY FOR CONTINUING EDUCATION

Abstract

In this study, the efficiency of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) as a provider of continuing education is being investigated. This is being done to see if it can be said that the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) is a continuing education organization.

This serves to demonstrate the goals of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria and the efficiency of the organization as a provider of ongoing education. This is due to the fact that the whole function of an accountant is dependent upon accounting’s contribution to national growth.

As a result, it can be concluded that the Nigerian Institute of Chartered Accountants is a good choice for continuing education because it offers incentive factors in the form of work opportunities for its products. Additionally, it gives the learner accounting expertise.

The curriculum is too narrowly focused, and there is a communication gap between the Institute and its intended audience.

In order to assess empirically whether or not the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) is a provider of ongoing education, four hypotheses were developed.

These theories include:

Participants in the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria’s (ICAN) educational programs can get certification that will help them get better jobs, promotions, and appointments.

Thanks to the ICAN Educational Programs, accountants now have a social standing that is comparable to that of other academic professionals.

The ICAN Education Programs have an impact on how well accountants are developed for their economic and social duties.

ICAN hasn’t succeeded in connecting with its intended audience.
