The National Association of Certified Public Accountants in Education (NACPAE) held a forum entitled “Meet the Examiners” at the University of the East Manila Theatre last September 5, 2014. The goal was to orient Accountancy students who aspire to be CPAs regarding the Board of Accountancy (BOA) and changes in the Board Exams. The forum-symposium was attended by Accounting teachers and students from different schools in the National Capital Region (NCR). CKS College was represented by Mr. George Ong, Mr. Ankiat Byron Co, Mr. Jan Marcus Tang, and third and fourth year BSA students.

Mr. Joel L. Tan-Torres, BOA chairperson, discussed present and future BOA projects. He also discussed important details regarding the CPA Board Examinations and planned changes, such as the system of administration and subjects to be added or removed. Mr. Tan-Torres also discussed the importance of enhancing the quality of Accountancy education, and the need for Accountancy professors to be BOA-accredited.
