"Certified true copy of the original exam results relating to your membership Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants"
To which we replied, there is no qualifying examination to take in order to become a member of the Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants in the Philippines.
We are thinking if the CPAA is referring to the PRC Board Exam Results. Anyone na hiningan ng exam results here?
Thanks in advance!
