The Basic Accounting and Tax Literacy Training – Level 1 is NAO's foundational program. It is delivered entirely online, is free of cost, and is designed for students who have completed Class 12 and want to become employable without waiting until the end of a bachelor's degree. The course is structured as 20 episodes. It begins with the practical realities that most students are never taught — what income tax is and how it works, what a PAN is and how to obtain one, how to fill bank vouchers and handle banking documentation, how to prepare and issue bills, and how to maintain day-to-day accounts for a small business. It then builds a working understanding of accountancy from first principles, and closes with career guidance and an introduction to professional pathways such as CA and ACCA. Every episode is recorded by a qualified professional in active practice, so students learn not only the concept but exactly how it is applied in a real office in Nepal. On successful completion, students receive a certificate issued by Nepal Accounts Olympiad.

Objectives

01
To make every Class 12 graduate in Nepal job ready in practical accounting work.
02
To teach the everyday financial skills — tax, PAN, banking, billing, bookkeeping — that formal education leaves out.
03
To enable students to earn an income and support their own bachelor's education.
04
To make quality training accessible regardless of location or financial background.
05
To expose students to professional qualifications such as CA and ACCA at an early stage.

Benefits

01
Completely free — no tuition, no registration fee.

The National Accounts Talent Hunt is NAO's flagship talent identification program. It is a structured, standardised competition conducted at the provincial level across all seven provinces of Nepal. The examination is an objective test of 50 multiple-choice questions, administered through an OMR-based system to ensure speed, accuracy and complete impartiality in evaluation. Questions assess accounting fundamentals, analytical reasoning and commercial awareness. Winners at each provincial level receive cash prizes. Beyond the prize money, the top three performers from every province — twenty-one students nationally — are awarded a 100% scholarship for a full professional qualification, either Chartered Accountancy (CA) or ACCA, delivered through NAO's institutional partners. NATH is, to our knowledge, the first national accounting competition in Nepal to attach a full professional scholarship to its results.
