Delighted to attend the historic CAPA-AFA Meeting and the 138th AFA Council Meeting representing the Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants (PICPA) along with PICPA President, Atty Randy Blanza, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 10 & 13 June 2024, respectively. Relevant key points were discussed on how CAPA and AFA could effectively work together. Delighted to present before IFAC Council Meeting the upcoming PICPA’s hosting of the 139th AFA Council Meeting and the CAPA-AFA-PICPA International Conference. Exciting times ahead and PICPA is so looking forward to host the event alongside its Annual National Convention (ANC), in Davao City, Philippines on 20-23 November 2024.
Had a very delightful meeting with the very dynamic and very nice lady IFAC President, Asmaa Resmouki, who always amazes me for her continued inspiration to lady leaders of the Accountancy profession. Had a great opportunity to have a fruitful discussion on CAPA’s direction under his leadership with my former colleague in IFAC PAODAG and now Confederation of Asian and Pacific Accountants (CAPA) President, CA Prafulla Chhajed. Had a meaningful talk with incumbent AFA President, Dr. Doan Xuan Tien, who is so sincere in reiterating his call for support during his presidency. Indeed, these global leaders of the Accountancy profession deserve so much respect and admiration.
