The SGV Academy continued its Information Systems and Controls (ISC) Retooling Initiative with another successful retooling session in Central Luzon, held on 27 March 2026 at Bulacan State University. The program formed part of the Central Luzon Regional Forum organized by the National Association of Certified Public Accountants in Education (NACPAE), supporting efforts to strengthen industry-relevant learning among accounting educators.
The session gathered educators from across the region to enhance their understanding of ISC and its growing role in the audit of financial statements, particularly with its inclusion as a new subject in the Licensure Examination for Certified Public Accountants (LECPA) beginning in 2029.
Opening the session, SGV Financial Services and Ecosystems & Knowledge Leader Christian G. Lauron emphasized the importance of equipping educators with the knowledge and tools needed to effectively teach ISC concepts in today’s evolving audit landscape.
Serving as resource speakers were Technology Risk Senior Director Elvin Mercader, Associate Director and SGV Academy Program Manager Jervie Sta. Ana, and Senior Associate Julio Cezar Sedano. They were supported by Technology Risk Associate Sheryl Ann D. Gomez, who assisted in facilitating the session.
This Central Luzon session was part of the continued collaboration between the SGV Academy and NACPAE in advancing ISC education nationwide and preparing future CPAs for the evolving demands of the profession.
