Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants Metro Manila Region

The Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) or PICPA is a non-stock, non-profit organization duly recognized and accredited by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) as the Accredited Integrated Professional Organization (AIPO) for Accountancy in the Philippines.

In 1929, PICPA’s founders have set forth the institute’s noble objectives: (1) To promote and maintain high professional and ethical standards among accountants; (2) To advance the science of accounting; (3) To develop and improve accountancy education; (4) To encourage cordial relations among accountants; and (5) To protect the Certificate of Certified Public Accountants granted by the Republic of the Philippines.

In 1973, PICPA received from then PRC Chair Eric Nubla, Certificate of Accreditation No. 6, a distinction that recognized the Institute as the first bona fide and accredited professional organization (APO) of CPAs. In 1988, with PICPA’s compliance to PRC Resolution No. 106 and to its amending Resolution No. 142 both of which carried out the Integration of the Accountancy Profession, PICPA was subsequently pronounced integrated, thus elevated to its AIPO status.

In September 1996, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the amendments of PICPA’s Articles of Incorporation extending its corporate life for another fifty (50) years. Moreover, in accordance with the Republic Act No. 9298 otherwise known as the Accountancy Act of 2004, PICPA amended its By-Laws and changed its organizational structure to formally recognize and give focus to the four sectors of the accountancy profession: Commerce and Industry, Public Practice, Government and Education; as well as to the four geographical groupings: Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao and the National Capital Region (NCR).

Awarded five times as PRC’s Most Outstanding APO in 1995, 2005, 2012, 2013 and in 2018, PICPA certainly stands tall in the professional arena, both in the local and in the international front.

You can login and wait to be let in anytime within the duration of the webinar or earlier, from up to 15 minutes before the event.

A: The participant has to write his FULL NAME upon signing/logging in. Once inside the webinar, he/she must make sure of a strong internet connection. If ever disconnected, the participant will not be allowed to rejoin. As a final reminder, participant must make sure to validate attendance before exiting the seminar.


CERTIFICATE OF ATTENDANCE


Q: Will all webinar attendees/participants get a Certificate of Attendance?

A: To be eligible for a Certificate of Attendance, participants must first satisfy these four requirements: (a) pre-registration, (b) attendance, (c) polls, and (d) video open (e)evaluation.

(a) Pre-registration in the PICPA-Glueup portal is required.

(b) Attendance: Zoom captures the "time in" of participants automatically. Only those who join the event not later than 15 minutes after its official start will qualify to receive the Certificate of Attendance.

(c) Polls – Poll questions flashed on the screen during the webinar should be answered. This serves as a monitoring tool to keep track of the participant's physical presence.

(d) YOUR VIDEO OPEN during the entire webinar. You are not allowed to turn-off or disable your video so that when a Monitor appointed by the CPD Council takes the screen shot, you are visible. The screen shot can be taken by the designated Monitor in three occasions at random during the session and those who are not captured in the screenshot will not earn any credit. No picture, no certificate.

(e) Evaluation – Participants need to accomplish the ZOOM Online Evaluation Form which is made available only after the Q&A portion.


Q: When will the Certificate of Attendance be printed and released to the participants?

A: Please wait for further announcements regarding this matter. In case there is an urgent need for a Certificate of Attendance, please write a request by sending an e-mail to: picpa.emmc@picpammr.org
