The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) has announced that it will conduct its professional examinations three times annually beginning from 2020.
This is the outcome of the technological reforms introduced into the Institute’s examination processes.
ICAN in a statement made available to BusinessDay says the new examination diet will hold in March, July and November yearly instead of the usual May and November for the Skills and Professional levels. The Foundation level will continue to be examined twice yearly, in July and November.

Olubunmi Owolabi, principal manager, Corporate Communications, ICAN says a huge investment in technology by the Institute paved the way for the additional diet and gave rise to a drastic reduction in examination processing time.
According to Owolabi, “The introduction of an extra diet will give candidates more opportunities to participate in the Institute’s examination especially those who need to resit any paper in the Skills and Professional levels”.
The Institute is poised to continue to provide the nation with the needed manpower especially finance professionals to move the economy to laudable heights
