MMR Chair unfolds his plans and programs…

 

Newly elected MMR Chair unfolds his plans and programs during the MMR day of the Accountancy Week Celebration last July 21,2008.

 

“I shall try to lay down the policies, processes and systems with the end in view of providing the cornerstones to achieve an information-driven system that will serve better the entire membership in the comforts of your home and office. All you need to do is link and download what you need from our website. Actually, we have a website, we will just have to make it known and relevant.

 

Apart from the usual demands of the position of directing and monitoring and reporting, the delivery of new services shall be one of the priorities of my administration. It is only by improving the current services and creating new services and making all of these known to you will you be able to feel and see the value of being a PICPA member.

 

This term will also be the witness to linkages taking place. Linkages between PICPA and the different sectors, PICPA and the accrediting/regulatory bodies,PICPA MMR and the other regions/chapters, as well as improvement in internal systems.

 

The success of this project, our project, shall require full support from the board and the entirety of the PICPA MMR Membership. Let us not rest on the past achievements.

 

For the first quarter of my term, we were able to successfully celebrate the Accountancy Week. It was filled with professional development, fun, sharing of expertise and reaching out to the future CPAs (the students),

 

Once, we also flew to the Negros Occidental Chapter, who MMR adopted as a small brother chapter.

 

For the last three months, we were able to conduct 5 seminars sponsored by MMR. These covered several topics. We are all looking forward to the Regional Conference and we shall be looking forward to seeing you there. Some more updates and new discoveries are in store for you. Let us all visit the Underground River at Puerto Princesa Palawan.

 

BTW. Effective October 1.2008, the MMR Council decided to hire an Executive Director. It was a breathtaking first quarter, let us enjoy the ride…See you in more of our activities at the PICPA MMR”.

 

MMR gets a new Executive Director…

 

For quite a while, the MMR had been missing the services of the Executive Director. Just off the MMR Boardroom last Sept 18, 2008, by a resolution, MMR is going to hire the services of Ms. Rosario Ma. Q.Yu, or Ot as she is known to PICPA and friends as Executive Director effective October 1.2008.

 

Ms. Ot Yu shall be bringing with her a total experience of 28 years of which , about 14 are in different areas of Finance, 2.5 of which are into Credit and Cooperative Management, some 8 years are IT related experience mainly in project management, system implementation, systems analysis, system integration, and training for customized financial solutions, and software evaluation for Integrated Financial Management Systems, and the remaining 6 in External Audit.

 

Ms. Ot is also past EMMC President and MMR Treasurer in 2006-2007, and MMR Secretary last fiscal year. She is also the incumbent MMR Committee Chair for Publications. Before then, she has served EMMC in different roles and posts. In short, she is not new to our own PICPA MMR. She is at home here. Let us all welcome, Ms. Ot.
