Magna Carta of Certified Public Accountants in the Government Service – A Thesis
Q: Hi! As you know, my thesis topic [on whether or not the existing per diem of P800.00 pero EO 298 is enough to cover travel expenses of government employees] has become moot and academic because of the issuance of EO 77 increasing the travel allowances of government employees.
Now, I am considering to cover a proposed magna carta for CPAs in government service.
I would like to seek for your help and assistance in determining what inclusions our brothers and sisters would like to be incorporated in the magna carta.
Kung pwede po sana, I would like to know po kung ano current condition sa office nila in terms of staffing, overtime work, additional compensation and timeliness of submission of required reports po sana.
Im still making the instrument, pero any answers that our colleagues in a forum may be would be a great help. Salamat po ulit!
