STUDENTS PARTICIPATION

In the past, PICPA’s participation has been limited to attending the National Federation of Junior Institute of Accountants or NFJPIA induction ceremonies and annual national convention. PICPA’s attention is called whenever there are NFJPIA’s problems that need immediate solution. This kind of participation may not be enough considering that the NFJPIA is the organization that we can rely on to provide organizational and leadership training to our students who are aspiring to become CPAs .This committee therefore, is tasked to ensure that PICPA is working with them very closely to let students appreciate PICPA, as a professional organization and to let them obtain adequate training in preparation for their becoming professionals and to ensure that NFJPIA members participate actively in the Institute’s activities, through a well structured program of participation .
