    @batman they just simply advised that the school no longer issue syllabus kaya nag-isip na ko kung anong paraan pa para magkaroon. I received all the files maraming salamat po sa effort! I will draft the same and hopefully pirmahan ng director ng pup maragondon para maging official. Kailangan ko na kasi magmadali cause I'm turning 33 next year mababawasan na ng points sa age if ever. Thanks po ulit! :)

    Hello po! Ask ko lang po regarding sa certified copy of documents. Pwede po ba na sa Notary Public na lahat ipa-certify yun birth certificate, passport, transcript, diploma, PRC license, Board exam result, PICPA membership certificate, Certificate of Employment ? Ask ko din po how much yun binayaran nyo for each notarization based sa experience nyo. I'm not sure kasi if yun PRC license and board exam results sa PRC pa dapat ipa-certify at yun transcript dapat sa school pa ipa-certify.

    Also yun syllabus ba na issue ng school if pinirmahan naman ng registrar equivalent certified na yun or need pa na ipa-certify sa Notary Public? Medyo madami kasing pages ang syllabus. Each page po ba ng syllabus pinirmahan ng school registrar nyo?

    Maraming salamat po sa sasagot. God bless! :)

    @aikee888 as per CPAA website there was no mention about qualification supports. Though in vetasses site they specifically mentioned that if you are from Philippines and passed PRC exams, attach supports as well because it will greatly affect your assessment.. I'm also interested to Tasburfoot answer.

    @aikee888 as per CPAA website there was no mention about qualification supports. Though in vetasses site they specifically mentioned that if you are from Philippines and passed PRC exams, attach supports as well because it will greatly affect your assessment.. I'm also interested to Tasburfoot answer.

    @TasBurrfoot Sir, question, nagpasa ba si wife ng PRC documents sa CPAA? I know hindi sya recognized. I wonder kung may benefit ba to pass PRC docs or kahit hindi na?
    Yes nagpasa ata din kami just to added docs lang - to be honest don't think needed ito eh...

    Again if you plan to pass this, just be mindful lang to avoid confusion, put in some cover page to assist the CPAA assessor which doc is which...

    Again just pass whatever you can submit related to CPA in general - it wouldn't hurt naman and as what they say baka plus points pa.

    Guys, I have a problem. I've compiled all of my subject syllabus from my alma mater (ateneo de davao) except for 2 subjects (ECON 222 - Introduction to Microeconomics) & ECON 211- Introduction to Macroeconomics) kasi yung econ dept head namin, who also happened to be my previous teacher in these subjects, refused to provide me the syllabus. I've tried talking to him 2 times, to no avail, telling me that the teacher owns the syllabus and has the right to refuse to provide copy if he wants. I seriously don't know what his problem is .

    So now, my next recourse is to just make a statutory declaration outlining the topics we've covered in the subjects based on what I remember. But now I'm stuck in a rut, dont know where to start. Is there anyone here who can provide me please with a sample subject syllabus for Intro to Micro & Intro to Macroeconomics subjects? Please, I promise I won't copy it, i just need guidance kung ano isusulat sa outline.

    Hi orange11! Hinannapan ka din ba ng PRC ID copy? I have my CPA certificate and board exam results. Yun PRC ID medyo matatagalan pa renewal kasi expired na. Enough na kaya sa assessment yun CPA certificate and board exam results?

    Hi batman! I already checked PRC site but wala po yun online renewal. Meron lang online verification of professional license. Guess need talaga magpapunta ako ng representative for renewal :(. Ask ko lang din nung nagrenew ka, how long it took you para makuha yun renewed ID after application?
