ORGANIZATION PROFILE:
The National Federation of Junior
Philippine Institute of Accountants was created in 1983 under the auspices of
the Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants to serve as a link
between the accountancy students and their professional counterparts. Being the only national organization of
accountancy students, it is tasked with organizing its members into a relevant
sector of the business community. With that in mind, the Federation is
committed in training advocates of development and innovations through
knowledge by promoting fellowship among member schools.
The group set forth the following
objectives:
• To promote and maintain high
professional and ethical standards among accountants.
• To advance the science of
accounting.
• To encourage cordial relations of
those in the accountancy profession.
W. W. Larkin, holder of CPA Certificate No.
1 was the first President.
After having complied with the requirements for accreditation under
Presidential Decree No. 223, PICPA was awarded the Certificate of Accreditation
No. 6 on October 2, 1973 by then Chairman Eric Nubla of the Professional
Regulation Commission (PRC).
The Philippine Institute of
Certified Public Accountants continues to perform its avowed mission – that of
serving all fields of accountancy through a set of social and technical
services to its members including NFJPIA (through Mr. Gerard B. Sanvictores and
Dr. Raul C. Addatu, Chair and Co-Chair of the Committee on Students’
Participation).
NFJPIA continues to organize
seminars, symposia, workshops, conferences, quiz bowls, and other
interscholastic functions through its Regional Councils and National
Conventions. It has likewise sponsored parties, concerts, sports fests, and
other projects intended to achieve its maiden objectives. But more importantly,
NFJPIA, has heeded the call of social responsibility and civil consciousness by
extending to the key members of society trapped in the bondage of destitution –
the youth.
