Read post below as shared on LinkedIn:

I told myself that my first official post here will be when I have finally qualified as a Chartered Accountant with the Institute of Chartered Accountants Ghana. It’s been a long time coming and I am grateful for the journey.

Growing up, I have never had to repeat an exam in my entire academic life. So when I finished university with a first class degree in Accounting at the University of Ghana and through that I gained a scholarship to pursue my qualification as a chartered accountant with the Institute of Chartered Accountants Ghana, I thought I will use only one year to finish the 8 papers I had to write. Oh boy, was I wrong. I started my CA, in 2019 after school during my service and I decided to divide the papers into two.

So in November 2019, I sat for 4 papers and failed 3 at a go. I was so devastated and I couldn’t believe it since it was my first time failing an exam. It took almost a year to resit those papers again because I couldn’t bring myself to learn and take the exam.

By the grace of God I wrote and pass all three papers. Then for the Part 3 papers, I didn’t want to write all four so I wrote 2 and passed. The next sitting, I wrote the last two and failed 1.

This finally brought me to April 2022 sitting and I wrote the last paper which was Strategic Case Study.

Honestly that paper did not go well at all for me but God came through and I passed.

Lessons learnt are that, failure is part of life and you have to get yourself up after you fall. Also, some things take time but when the right time comes, it will be so beautiful hence be patient.

Today as I graduate as a Qualified Associate of the Institute of Chartered Accountants Ghana, I just want to first of all thank God for His favour and grace through out this journey and also my family, who have been my biggest support system.
EBENEZER, THUS FAR HAS THE LORD BROUGHT ME☺️☺️🙏🙏
