Can someone explain something to me? I'm hearing more and more local firms are sending work to be prepared overseas. In many cases, clients aren't even aware (yes, I'm sure its buried in the legalese of the engagement letter). The only work that physically takes place in Canada is scanning the paper documents (if any) and a high level review by the manager/partner prior to discussion with the client. All accounting work, including preparing the tax return, is done overseas. Does this bother anyone else? Its removing a lot of the learning environment from a CPA Training Office. By the way, to the best of my knowledge Grant Thornton doesn't send anything overseas. 😊

Sharing the announcement from the National Association of CPAs in Education (NACPAE) on Meta/Facebook. The public consultation on the enhanced CPA Licensure Examination syllabus will be held on May 7, 2024. Details in the publication attached. Reach out if you have questions / comments / input, esp. for the new “Information Systems and Control” module. We did our best to make it globally relevant while still locally nuanced. For sure, the challenge will be up by a few notches for the CPA applicants in 2028 and for “accountancy schools” this immediate next semester. But we must face this head on if we want Filipino CPAs to stay relevant in this digital age. And that’s also why we can’t understate the importance of stakeholders’ thoughts on the transition and any institutional support that the accountancy schools need.
