PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

“I have a dream –a dream so vivid that it has transcended the realities of my past; so strong it has brought and transformed me into what I am and where I am. Now, with you and in God’s Divine will and grace, the same dream shall help me lead our Institute and elevate this dream into a plethora of possibilities and opportunities for the future of the Filipino CPAs.

Beyond numbers, beyond the books, beyond the four walls of the corporate domain…we will rise together, one dream, beyond the horizon. We will become – the stars of this dream.”

Atty. Randy B. Blanza
PICPA National President, FY 2023-2024

    The Professional Regulatory Board of Accountancy (PRBOA), Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants (PICPA), and PICPA National Professional Development Committee, in partnership with PICPA Metro Manila Geographical Area Office, PICPA Metro Manila Region, PICPA Western Metro Manila Chapter (WMMC), and sectoral organizations National Association of CPAs in Education (nACPAE), Association of CPAs in Commerce and Industry (ACPACI), Government Association of CPAs (GACPA), and Association of CPAs in Public Practice (ACPAPP) conducted the four-day summit on Philippine Qualifications Framework (PQF) last August and September 2021 via Zoom. The PQF describes the levels of educational qualifications and sets the standards for qualification outcomes. It is a quality assured national system for the development, recognition and award of qualifications based on standards of knowledge, skills and values acquired in different ways and methods by learners and workers of the country (RA 10968 – PQF Act). The PQF Summit is among the priority projects of PICPA under the leadership of National President Marydith C. Miguel with strong support from PICPA MM GAO chaired by Aldrin M.

With the theme “Embracing the Role of PQF in the Accountancy Profession,” the four-day summit, one day per sector, was designed to deepen the understanding and application of PQF in education, commerce and industry, government, and public practice. There were two technical sessions in the summit. The morning session focused on understanding of the PQF while the afternoon session focused on its application. At the end of the summit, attendees are expected to identify the levels, domains, and competency areas of each sector and perform self-assessment to determine their current level vis-à-vis career progression and specialization program (CPSP) for the Accountancy profession (draft resolution awaiting for approval).
