Last August 15, 2013, the CKSC-JPIA held a seminar on Becoming a Certified Accounting Technician (CAT) at the 7^th floor of the CKSC College Building. The guest speaker for the seminar was Mr. Henry Ong, a Certified Management Accountant (CMA) in Singapore and a Certified Management Consultant in Australia. He is a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Applied Economics (BSAE) and Bachelor of Science in Accountancy (BSA) and is experienced in real estate, financial consulting, and venture capitalism. Currently, he is also the president of Business Sense and a columnist for the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

Mr. Ong discussed what CAT is all about, the steps and examinations to be taken in order to be a Certified Accounting Technician (CAT), and the opportunities and benefits of being a CAT. Ms. Nikki Lim, CKSC-JPIA president delivered the closing remarks.

Generally, the seminar pertaining to the CAT was informative and purposive. Such event is really significant and worthy. It brings lots of advantages since CAT is an international qualification.It enlightens us that there were many opportunities waitingahead for us, accounting-related students, aside from CPA.
