VP NOLI CALLS ON GOV’T CPAs TO BE MAJOR PLAYERS IN NATION BUILDING

12 May  2006


 
VICE President Noli ‘Kabayan’ De Castro urged government certified public accountants (CPAs) to do more than computing taxes correctly by becoming a major player in nation building.


VP NOLI SPEAKS BEFORE GOVERNMENT CPAs. Vice President Noli ‘Kabayan’ De Castro delivers his keynote address during the induction program and first membership meeting of the Government Association of Certified Public Accountants (GACPA) yesterday at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC), Pasay City, De Castro encouraged government CPAs to practice the norms of good governance and to stay on in public service despite their low pay.
 
Speaking during the induction program and first membership meeting of the Government Association of Certified Public Accountants (GACPA) yesterday at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC), De Castro encouraged government CPAs to practice the norms of good governance and to stay on in public service despite their low pay.

 
De Castro pointed out that good governance includes transparency, integrity, professionalism and efficiency in the conduct of business and day-to-day operations.
 

The Vice President admitted that government CPAs are not well compensated compared to their counterparts in the private sector. However, he said he is inspired by those who stay as government CPAs to take on the challenge of serving the public.
 

“This government continues to face its biggest challenge—that of realizing ‘development on the ground’. As public servants, we all share this challenge. And I relentlessly push for this advocacy in the hope of inspiring you to continue taking on the challenge of serving the public,” De Castro said.
 

He explained that the country needs government CPAs’ expertise and skills as financial managers that would ensure the optimum and proper use of government limited resources.
 

Likewise, he said government CPAs are also important in protecting the gains achieved by the country to make stronger government institutions. “We need you to uphold financial prudence, as well as transparency and accountability in all government transactions,” he added.
