ANAN MCPD Programme: Fees, Zones and Points

The ANAN Mandatory Continuing Professional Development (MCPD) programme is the annual training every ANAN member must attend to stay in good standing. It runs once a year across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones, carries 24 CPD points on completion, and costs ₦80,000 (CNA) or ₦85,000 (FCNA) including annual subscription. Attendance revalidates your membership; missing it attracts a ₦10,000-per-year fine plus arrears at re-admission.

ANAN MCPD Programme – There are two professional accountancy associations in Nigeria, and ANAN is one of them. ANAN is the Association of National Accountants of Nigeria. It has regulatory authority in Nigeria.

ANAN was founded in 1979, with its national headquarters in Abuja. Its 14th and current president is Chief Hajia Zuwairat Talatu Kishimi, FCNA, who took office at her investiture in 2025.

About MCPD by ANAN

The Mandatory Continuing Professional Development (MCPD) platform is designed to enable members to access training, conference materials, seminar materials, textbooks, journals, articles, video lectures, and practical step-by-step methods for solving accounting problems and other contemporary issues.

The MCPD programme will provide information on current developments in the accountancy profession remotely, irrespective of where members are located in the country or in other countries.

Technology underpins the unprecedented development experienced by Organizations and Professional associations across the globe in this era, which is now called the era of Digital Darwinism.

Each edition of the ANAN MCPD programme runs as a series of workshops, seminars, and training sessions spread across the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria.
