The SGV Academy provided resource speakers in major regional education summits, bringing together accounting educators and professionals for meaningful knowledge exchange and professional development. These included the Central Visayas Regional Forum and Eastern Visayas Region (EVR) Education Summit organized by the National Association of Certified Public Accountants in Education (nACPAE), as well as the Davao Regional Forum and the Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants – Mindanao Geographical Area Office (PICA–MGAO), Northern Mindanao Region (NMR), and the Southern Mindanao Region (SMR) Education Summit in the Davao Region.
The Central Visayas session, held on 5 December 2025 at Holy Name University, and the Davao Region session, conducted on 16 January 2026 at the University of Mindanao, provided a platform for educators to enhance their understanding of Information Systems and Controls (ISC) auditing as part of the audit of financial statements. The SGV Academy was represented by Technology Risk Partner Allan W. Ocho, together with Technology Risk Associate Director Jervie Sta. Ana and Senior Associate Julio Sedano, who led the sessions and shared their expertise.
These engagements are part of SGV Academy’s ISC Retooling Initiative, which aims to strengthen the capabilities of accounting educators in teaching ISC. The initiative aligns with the inclusion of ISC as a new subject in the Licensure Examination for Certified Public Accountants (LECPA) beginning in 2029, and responds to the growing role of technology and systems in financial statement audits.
The ISC Retooling Initiative is implemented under the collaborative agreement between the SGV Academy and nACPAE. Following successful runs in Central Visayas and the Davao Region, a third session is scheduled to be held in Central Luzon.
The events showcased the strong collaboration between the SGV Academy and nACPAE in advancing ISC education nationwide.
