Computerized acctg system for taxpayers

MANILA, Philippines — The Center for Global Best Practices is inviting all medium and large taxpayers to a one-day seminar on the Bureau of Internal Revenue’s computerized accounting system (CAS) to help businesses having difficulty setting up, getting accreditation and running a successful CAS in compliance with BIR Regulation 2009-9.

With the BIR’s anticipated release of the fresh list of medium-sized firms soon to be reclassified as large taxpayers this third quarter, this becomes especially relevant to both medium and large taxpayers. This event is scheduled on Oct. 6, 2017 at the EDSA Shangri-La Hotel, Mandaluyong City.

Given the BIR’s formation of a special task force to monitor medium to large taxpayers, one can expect stricter enforcement from the tax authorities. Attending this will help hurdle and solve CAS headaches, issues and most importantly, prevent those dreaded BIR penalties.

The seminar will feature seasoned practitioner, Bienvenido Constantino, whose expertise include aligning medium to large taxpayers’ IT-based accounting systems to comply with all the BIR regulations. He is the founder and CEO of Helix Software Technologies, an Australian IT firm specializing in cloud technologies designed for SME, large enterprises as well as for LGUs. His extensive experience include having worked as IT project director of World Bank projects with the Commission on Audit and the Department of Energy as well as in various USAID initiatives. He finished his bachelor’s degree in accountancy from the University of the Philippines.

Interested participants on this topic are encouraged to avail of the early payment savings and group discount for three or more participants. Seats are limited and pre-registration is required.
