Ms. Maria Carmen P. Marcelo is SPCF’s 5th Certified Public Accountant. She’s one of the 1,406 new CPA’s who successfully hurdled the Certified Public Accountant Licensure Examination given by the Board of Accountancy in Manila this May 2007.
Another SPCF graduate almost made it but may have deficiency in one of the subject areas and thus categorized as conditional. “At least,” Prof. Ramon Quito remarked, “we are assured of another CPA (as soon the as said conditional examinee complied with the deficiency).” Prof. Quito is the current chair of the Accountancy Department.
Prof. Leo A. Tago, the Dean of the College of Business, is so happy that someone from this batch broke the year-long drought. The Certified Public Accountant Licensure Examination is one of the toughest board examinations in the country. Only 33% of the 4,654 examinees made it. Of the 328 accountancy schools nationwide, 132 posted a 0% passing percentage.
Congratulations to the College of Business and to Ms. Maria Carmen P. Marcelo for this success. Way to go SPCF.
