Right after our FAB-IBIG CSR activity, the PICPA FAB Chapter proudly hosted one of the Central Luzon Region’s webinar series entitled Internal Control Considerations and Fraud Detection.

The session was hosted by one of our newest members, Mr. Jhercies Samson, and featured Mr. Marco Fernando L. Ng, a respected expert in fraud and forensic auditing. His insights reached over 440 participants in the virtual meeting room, equipping professionals with practical knowledge grounded in real-world experience.

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape—where digital transactions, remote operations, and emerging risks are the norm—strong internal controls are no longer optional. They are essential. Understanding fraud risks and strengthening preventive mechanisms help organizations protect assets, uphold integrity, and maintain public trust. As accountants and finance professionals, we are called not only to report numbers but to safeguard them.

Thank you to everyone who participated and continues to support learning initiatives that create real impact. Together, we strengthen our profession and the organizations we serve.

A productive courtesy visit with BIR RDO 20 Revenue District Officer, Atty. Mercedes Estalilla, led by Chapter President Mirasol Floren together with Past President Beth Pangilinan.

The discussion centered on a shared mission: helping taxpayers understand and pay the right taxes through stronger collaboration between the Bureau and accounting professionals. When guidance meets cooperation, compliance and public trust grow.

Grateful for the opportunity to support initiatives that empower taxpayers through proper education and awareness.
