ICAN Corporate and Business Law – Foundation Level (Effective November 2025)
Corporate and Business Law (CBL) is a newly introduced Foundation-level course by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN), replacing the former Business Law (BL) course. This new course will take effect starting from November 2025 as part of ICAN’s revised syllabus.
As a professional accountant in training, mastering Corporate and Business Law is essential for understanding the legal framework that governs business activities. The course provides in-depth knowledge of laws relating to business organizations, commercial transactions, employment relationships, and public sector operations within the Nigerian legal environment.
This course goes beyond theory—it offers practical insights into how legal principles apply in real business scenarios, helping you understand how these laws affect you, your clients, and the organizations you serve.
With comprehensive content tailored to meet current professional standards, the updated ICAN syllabus equips candidates to apply legal knowledge confidently and ethically in their careers and excel in their exams.
