ISCA, PICPA join hands to train chartered accountants in the Philippines

Singapore is one of the Philippines’ major trading partners and top sources of foreign direct investment inflows.

The Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants (PICPA) to train chartered accountants coming from the Philippines.

ISCA’s partnership with PICPA aims to develop accountancy talents and provide upskilling opportunities for accountancy professionals in the Philippines.

Offered programmes developed in Singapore are aligned with international standards, equipping accountancy professionals with significant competencies to meet the industry’s demands.

ISCA and PICPA will also offer joint-membership pathways, joint events, and conferences aimed at promoting the attractiveness of the accountancy profession.

The collaboration aims to grow and strengthen the accounting profession and businesses in both countries.

“We are very pleased to be able to mark another milestone in ISCA’s efforts to develop the accountancy profession across the region,” Ms Gladeys Jill A. Santos, ISCA Philippines Chapter Chairperson, said.

The Philippines has over 1 million business enterprises and 1,430 accounting firms.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
