Being a CPA is facing a challenge in the current period. Generally accepted accounting standards globally are becoming integrated. This significantly affects each country's generally accepted accounting and auditing standards. Generally accepted accounting standards in certain specialized industries are getting more complex. A CPA needs to be well rounded in all areas such as financial reporting, internal auditing, external auditing, accounting, taxation, and business planning. I cannot possibly be an expert in all these fields but I am proud to be a filipino CPA. I hope we can encourage younger people to be CPAs like ourselves to carry on the profession.
