Amid the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic that still affects lives and businesses around the world, Filipino certified public accountants (CPAs) have come up with a plan to continue delivering their mandate for the good of the country under “new normal” conditions.

With a six-point agenda, newly-elected Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants (Picpa) president Lope Bato Jr. outlined the organization’s thrust for the Fiscal Year 2020 to 2021 in an aptly strengthened commitment called RISING. It stands for Recovery, In-house, Social responsibility, International, New Programs, and on-Going programs.
