Jovani is currently a Manager under Technical Research Group of Audit & Assurance department. He
earned his proficiency on PFRS, PFRS for SMEs, PSAs and SRC Rule 68 from over 6 years of

In 2017, he became part of the team created to assess the accounting impact of IFRS 15 to two of
the largest telecommunication service-providers—one in the Philippines and another in Indonesia.
Aside from the assistance on project management, he was heavily involved in modelling analysis to
bridge the gap between the requirements of the IFRS 15 against the current IT system used by
these telecoms in financial reporting. Later that year, he spearheaded an advisory team primary
responsible in understanding the business model and product offerings of a multinational IT
solutions-provider in the Philippines. Together with his team, he created models on how the
requirements of PFRS 15 fits into the current accounting system and processes. From this, his team
was able to devise a framework for the entity to make accounting policies in accordance with the
new revenue accounting standard.

his passion for knowledge and inspire his teammate’s creativity and critical thinking to prepare
them for the great leader they will become.
