COURSE AIM

Public and private sector managers and executives need a working knowledge of financial principles to be effective in their role. Financial awareness is not an option but a necessity and they must continue to develop their financial management skills as an ongoing process. This course transforms financial and accounting jargon and concepts into decision making principles which managers can use successfully every day.

ANAN HISTORY

Association of National Accountants of Nigeria is the only chartered professional accountancy body in Nigeria empowered by law to teach as well as examine all its students. The Association was formed on 1st January, 1979, incorporated on 28th September, 1983 and was finally chartered by Act #76 of 1993 on 25th August, 1993. It has a total membership of 10,260 as at December 2007.
 
The Association is a truly national accountancy body with education and training program reflecting the national environment which would meet internationally accepted accountancy standards. It was born out of a burden shared by a number of well meaning Nigerians for a home grown and home spun professional body. It sought a thoroughly Nigerian and community based approach to the definition of accountancy standards and practices.

STANDARDS' SETTING

ANAN is a member of Nigerian Accounting Standards Board (NASB). The board is currently responsible for setting accounting standards in Nigeria.

A new law is the making for the establishment of Financial Reporting Council in Nigeria. 

ANAN TRAINING

All accountancy graduates with B.Sc. and HND from Nigerian Universities and Polytechnics, are eligible to commence a three-year training programme to qualify with the Association and earn the designation Certified National Accountant (CNA). This is similar to the system adopted by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS).

The Association also accepts specific overseas professional qualifications which are recognized under ANAN Act #76 of 1993 Schedule 4.  

All students aspiring to become members of the Association must attend the Nigerian College of Accountancy, Jos in preparation for the Association's examination program.
