The 2nd Bookkeepers Congress will be bringing together more than 300 delegates ranging from bookkeepers, finance managers, finance officers, accountants, accounting managers, cost accountants, cost analysts, budget analysts, systems analysts, auditors, financial planners and finance, management and accounting students among others, in what maybe dubbed as a unifying and historical gathering of bookkeepers in the country.

With the theme, “Gearing the Bookkeeping Industry towards Global Competency”, we anticipate an exciting and productive congress as its objectives are focused on the following:

1. Discussing the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and their most recent developments in detail, as well as the impact of these changes on Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) compliance
2. The implications of IFRS adoption on the Philippine taxation system
3. Updates from SEC on the adoption of IFRS, and
4. Emphasizing the importance of having bookkeepers become well-versed in and knowledgeable with these updates in order to become globally competitive.

This 2-day event is organized by the Entrepreneurs Accounting Academy, in response to the need for adequate training for all those concerned with and involved in the bookkeeping/accounting process. In order to achieve that, this year’s event features Bobbe Barnes, an educator and consultant with many years of professional experience in IFRS, US GAAP, and certification training around the world, as its main speaker.
