In 1991, a team of young professional Chartered Accountants came up with this idea of establishing an accountancy school, which could cater to the professional education requirements of the modern age. The purpose was to impart high quality business education to the students desirous of passing the examinations of international accountancy bodies. In 1992, the idea finally materialised and SKANS School of Accountancy was established to implement the basic objective.

Initially, the management decided to offer free coaching classes to ICAP (Pakistan) students to get a firm hold as tuition providers. The year 1995 saw the inception of the first campus of SKANS School of Accountancy, Gulberg Campus Lahore. The success story continued, venturing into opening other campuses in Lahore, Sialkot, Islamabad, Faisalabad and Rawalpindi.

SKANS’ aim has always been to provide high standard business education and guidance. Our undaunted efforts were promptly recognized by the leading Professional Accountancy Institutions of the world. Today it has earned the approval of leading accountancy bodies like ICAP (Pakistan), ACCA (UK) and ISACA (USA) as a tuition provider to the students enrolled in their respective programmes. SKANS Shershah Block, New Garden Town (CAT) campus has “GOLD” Status; while our Tariq Block, New Garden Town (ACCA) campus has “PLATINUM” Status Approved Learning Partner of ACCA. Our Islamabad ACCA Campus has applied for and fulfilled all the requirements to achieve the Gold Status hopefully in September 09.

Having achieved excellence in providing quality education at basic and foundation stages in the field of accountancy, SKANS has now embarked upon the path of delivering ultimate professional education and training to career focused students wishing to acquire skills, which would promise a secure and stable future for them.

The main objective of SKANS is to offer educational programmes which provide the candidates with internationally recognized professional qualification and an opportunity to actually use the acquired experience and qualifications in establishing themselves as productive and successful professionals in the fields of business, finance, management and accountancy.

Although there is variety of courses being offered in the market, it is felt that majority of these fall short of providing the necessary skills essential for gaining employment. SKANS School of Accountancy is endeavouring to change this trend with expert guidance, counselling and support, which is tailored to the individual needs of all the participants.

With constant reviews, assessments and monitoring, all aspects of the academic and practical learning process resulted into achieving the desired standards and quality. All study programmes are structured with a student centred approach, as we want our students to actively participate in their education process and not to be passive receivers of instructions.

Particular attention is paid in improving the personal effectiveness of each participant through presentation skills and computer courses. This leads to building confidence in the students.
