APPROVING THE MOA FOR MRA

IMPLEMENTATION

PICPA, together with the Professional

Regulation Commission (PRC) through the

Board of Accountancy and the Commission

on Higher Education (CHED) agreed to

form the ASEAN Monitoring Council (AMC)

to implement the provisions of the ASEAN

Mutual Recognition Arrangement in

Accountancy (MRA) services in mutually recognizing ASEAN Certified

Public Accountants (ACPA) based on three major standards. These

standards relate to the professional qualifications of the CPA to be

reviewed by PRC; the academic qualifications to be reviewed by CHED;

and their practice and experience to be reviewed by PICPA. The

objectives, processes, and procedures were finalized in a Memorandum

of Agreement (MOA) to be signed by the respective leaders of the

institutions.

I represented National President Mr. Dominador Barrion in various

meetings to thresh out and agree on the processes of accreditation.

The target date for the formal signing is on or before December, 2015.

VALIDATING FOR ACCREDITED PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATION

(APO)

The entire PICPA board stood for the revalidation of PICPA’s status as

the APO last September 12 before the Board of Accountancy led by

Chair Joel Tan Torres. I led the presentation of PICPA’s case as the

APO after which the BOA members asked questions as to the maturity

and readiness of PICPA as the APO of the accountancy profession.

Towards the end of the revalida, a number of position papers to validate

our accreditation were required for submission. In immediate

compliance, these papers were immediately submitted to the BOA a

week after the revalida.

MOVING THE PERFORMANCE GOVERNANCE SYSTEM (PGS)

FOREWARD

The PGS Committee sat in a conference with the evaluators of the

Institute of Solidarity in Asia (ISA) last October 6 to listen to their report

on the strategic readiness of the accountancy profession to be

conferred the INSTITUTIONALIZED category of the PGS after years of

preparation and compliance with the standards. ISA’s executive director

and program managers presented their findings before the Committee.

Discussions and agreements on various matters of the report ensued

with some major issues/findings revisited to attune them with the unique

nature, governance and operations of the profession.

Attending the conference were SEC Commissioner Antonieta F. Ibe,

BOA Chair Joel L. Tan-Torres, and the various members of the PGS

Committee. I submitted a rejoinder on the major issues raised during

the conference in preparation for the revalida which is slated in the

middle of November.

INTEGRATING OR DISINTEGRATING THE PROFESSIONS

A proposed bill on the creation of an Accredited Integrated Professional

Organization (AIPO) as an umbrella of professionals under the

regulatory supervision of the PRC has been presented in a hearing by

the Technical Working Group of the Office of Senator Antonio F.

Trillanes IV as the sponsor. As invited resource persons, President

Barrion and I prepared our position paper and joined the hearing in the

Senate. We said that integration principles are laudable per se, what is

not palatable and pragmatic is the “one size fits all” manner that the bill

proposes to integrate the individual professions. We pointed out that

each profession is unique unto its own including organization impera-

tives, objectives, nature, level of readiness and maturity that such an

“umbrella” approach to achieve integration is contentious. We offered

some recommendations to revise or improve the bill.

Our position paper for which I was privileged to present before the

hearing was particularly identified as one that is comprehensive by the

TWG. In its stakeholders’ meeting called by the PRC to further discuss

the bill last October 21, our position and recommendations were also

seriously considered for adoption by the other professions.

INTERNATIONALIZING PICPA THROUGH AFA JOINT

CONFERENCE

On December 4-5, the AFA-PICPA International Conference will be held

in Manila as it is its turn to host the annual conference. The theme of

the conference is ASEAN Integration: Opportunities and Challenges for

SMEs and SMPs.

Current AFA President Estelita C. Aguirre has invited international and

regional resource persons to speak on this pressing issue particularly

as the small entrepreneurs and practitioners could bear the brunt of

unbridled integration without regard to their concerns. SMEs and TMPs

are invited to determine whether ASEAN integration is a boon or a bane

for them to be able to capitalize or mitigate its effect on their businesses

and practice. By the way, I was humbled by AFA President Aguirre for

enlisting me in the development of the theme and program and to help

facilitate the experts’ discussions.

COOPERATING WITH MANDALUYONG CITY HALL ON MICRO

BUSINESS TRAINING

President Barrion and I met with the Mayor Benhur Abalos and his staff

in his office in early September to discuss our offering to conduct

accounting seminars for OFWs and small business entrepreneurs of

Mandaluyong to enrich their skills as part of our engagement in social

responsibility. The Mayor was visibly pleased and promised to initiate

and solidify this potential relationship as it is in pursuit of his agenda for

the City. He promised to consider giving a space in the projected

business center which PICPA could use to pursue this initiative.

The PGS has institutionalized all of the Accountancy Profession’s actions, plans strategies and targets. Its adherence to the PGS has enabled it to become more directed and focused in its performance resulting to the attainment of significant milestones for the Profession. The 2015 PGS ROADMAP FOR THE INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF PGS in the ACCOUNTANCY PROFESSION is a joint and flagship project of the PRC BOA and the Accredited Professional Organization of the Accountancy Profession which is PICPA together with the four (4) sectoral organizations of the Accountancy Profession – Government Association of Certified Public Accountants (GACPA), Association of Certified Public Account-ants in Public Practice (ACPAPP), Association of Certified Public Accountants in Commerce and Industry (ACPACI) and National Association of Certified Public Accountants in Education (nACPAE) under the guidance of the Institute for Solidarity in Asia (ISA). The Accountancy Profession had already achieved and has been conferred the three (3) stages in the Performance Governance System or PGS pathway of ISA, namely Initiated and Compliant stages in 2008 and the Proficiency stage in 2009. The Accountancy Profession is the only profession among the 42 professions in the Philippines vying for the conferment of the Institutionalized level in the PGS Pathway of Good Governance. The Accountancy Profession through the PGS Committee is currently working on the Institutionalization stage and this requires us to comply with the ten (10) Essential Elements of Good Governance which includes the presence of Breakthrough results and Success stories of the Accountancy Profession, the presence of fully functioning Office for the Strategic Management (OSM) and the Multi-Sectoral Governance Council (MSGC). The challenge now for the Accountancy Profession is to sustain its momentum and to institutionalize the Profession’s gains. The PGS Committee is currently preparing for Revalida in a Public Governance Forum with the guidance and

Congratulations to the National Officers,

Execom, members of the Board, Chapter

Presidents, Officers & members, and all

PICPA members. Accolade also goes to the

various Committees…Sharing your Time,

Talent and Treasure went beyond expecta-

tions. You have accomplished and contrib-

the Accountancy Profession.

The ANC Committee and the sub-committee

Chairs specially Officers and members of

the PICPA Southern Tagalog Region have

been working so hard to put things together

for the upcoming convention in Palawan.

Gratefulness from the heart may not be

enough for the generosity shared by

everybody.

The QAR committee finished phase 1,2 & 3

of the Voluntary QAR program for SMPs.

The program was presented to PRBoA

Chairman Joel Tan-Torres and PRBoA,

CPD Chair Gerard Sanvictores in two

separate occasions. Both were pleased in

the program presented and they expressed

their support to the said program. Chairman

Tan-Torres cited that additional incentives

will be given to Practitioners who will avail of

this VQAR program. Phase 1 was

presented in three conferences, Baguio,

Cebu and Pampanga. Surprisingly, the

participants accepted favorably the program

and are willing to be reviewed. After

presentation to the membership during the

ANC, implementation will commence. We

are seeing compliance to the 1st SMO to

IFAC. All these because of the untiring and

unselfish dedication of the committee at no

cost to PICPA.

The Taxation and Legislation Committee

published the 3rd issue of the Tax Journal

which will be offered at a very reasonable

price. This will be offered too, to the various

schools offering Accountancy programs, a

good reference materials for their students.

A tax forum was held last October attended

by the various members and stakeholders.

MEMBERSHIP COMITTEE Identifying issues and coming up with solutions to increase the number of PICPA members in good standing (MGS) were among the discussions of the Committee. As their reference, the Committee members accounted for all the MGS in each Chapter and Region as of June, 2015 and they are challenging all Chapters and Regions to increase the member-ship based on the respective scorecard which the Chapter Presidents agreed during the PICPA Annual Planning Conference held at the Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) last July 2-4, 2015. To further encourage more members to join the Institute, the PICPA National Office offered a Sustaining Life Program.

QUALITY ASSURANCE REVIEW (QAR) The Committee conducted series of meetings discussing the PICPA’s scorecard for the QAR Committee, their action plans, the progress of the action plans, and QAR materials completed by the previous QAR Committee. The current committee members agreed to use the previous QAR materials with two hundred (200) pages which had to be simplified. From the committee members, they created a six-member team to go over the said document. CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOP-MENT for the Philippine CPAs to International Standards The current PICPA Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Committee, together with the PRC- Board of Accountancy (BOA) CPD Council, has been doing series of meetings to fast track bringing the CPD for Philippine Accountants at par with the international level. Taking into serious consideration BOA’s Directives for Priority Actions for the CPD Program, PICPA CPD Committee prioritized to act towards the following this year: First, to move the required CPD units for a 3-year period from sixty (60) to one hundred twenty (120) to adhere to IES 7; second, to institution-alize on-line activities for self-directed learning; and third, to fine tune the Competency Framework for the Philippine CPAs. 70th PICPA ANNUAL NATIONAL CONVENTION The 70th PICPA Annual National Convention will be hosted by PICPA-Southern Tagalog Region (STaR) on November 25-28, 2015.
