Update: FUNAAB Announces ACCA Accreditation – 2017
The management of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB) has received the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants certificate of accreditation.
This information was made public on the school website by the management. Members of the public are hereby informed. See details of the announcement below.
The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) has presented a certificate of accreditation to the University. With the feat, FUNAAB has become the first and only federal university in Nigeria to be ACCA-certified.
ACCA Certificate has global acceptability, as holders of the certificate can practice as accountants anywhere in the world while the University would be listed among the international affiliated institutions of ACCA, which comes with an added premium over other institutions in Nigeria, running the accountancy programme. The Department, through the Association’s corporate social responsibilities to its affiliated institutions, could benefit from the provision of study texts, modern teaching aids, computer hardware, accounting software, exchange programmes, workshops and training of accounting lecturers.
Presenting the certificate, the ACCA Education and Learning Manager (Nigeria), Mr. Victor Ayoola, lauded the curriculum content of the Department of Accounting, which he said cumulated in the international accounting body, accrediting the Department and approving a waiver of seven courses out of the 14 courses to be taken by students for the ACCA professional certification. He stated that seven-course waiver was unusual at first attempt, adding that FUNAAB was the first University in Nigeria to get seven exemptions, at its very first attempt. According to him, ACCA, which was established in 1904, had over 198,000 fully qualified members and 486,000 students worldwide, noting that “ACCA members are among the world’s best-qualified and most highly sought-after accountants and can work in every sector you can imagine”.
Congratulations…
