The launch took place last Wednesday, January 2nd, 2018. In the past 8 years, KASNEB was located in the College of Business and Economics (CBE) at the University of Rwanda.
Those who complete their degrees in accountancy, finance, credit, and related disciplines; register themselves in KASNEB, where they seat for exams which allow them to carry out the aforementioned disciplines on an International level. These include; CPA (Certified Public Accountants), CIFA (Certified Investment and Financial Analyst), CCP (Certified Credit Professional), CS (Certified Secretaries) and many others.
In the past eight years, more than 500 students have so far taken their examinations in accountancy, while a 1000 more took exams in other disciplines. These exams take place twice in a year.
KASNEB’s Director, Pius M.Nduatih, told IGIHE that “the concept of KASNEB came from our seniors/elders. At the time where the white people were leaving the continent; African countries started to think on the different ways that could be used so that Africans could be taught on the professions that were established by the White men.”
KASNEB’s Representative in Rwanda, Jeanne Abayo, echoed his remarks, noting that their certificates are acknowledged on an International level.
“The Certification that we provide are acknowledged and respected on an International level. As an example, when someone moves in the United States of America, our certification assures one not to start from scratch,” Abayo says.
She added that KASNEB chose to work in Rwanda due to its soaring economy and the fact that there were no quality examinations being offered for professionals.
Aside from Rwanda, KASNEB also operates in Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia, Tanzania, South-Sudan, Cameroon and Burundi.
