accounting of financial documents which is required to be disclosed to the public by the
individual or corporation whereas Private accounting is the accounting of financial information of
the company in which the accountant is employed generally for the internal manager.

Fields of Accounting
Public Accounting- when employed to this field, you become an external auditor; it
means that you are going to audit, you are going to go over the works of the accountant
of each company that your firm is catering into; audit the prepared financial statements
by the accountants of those private companies .
o BIG 4(Auditing Firms in the Phillippines:
1. SGV (Philippine Counterpart of Earns and Young)
2. Isla Lipana (Philippine Counterpart of PWC)
3. Navarro Amper and Company (Philippine Counterpart of Deloitte)
4. R.G Manabat and Company (Philippine Counterpart of KPMG)
Private Accounting- you are employed by agency itself; you are the one who will
prepare financial statement the financial statement of your direct agency; not all private
companies are clients of public firms, but may mga corporations na required by the SEC
to be audited by external auditors. There are certain requirements that corporations
haveto comply by virtue of SEC regulations; sometimes on big corporations, kahit
walang SEC compliance, but if they wanted to make sure that the work of their
accountants are correct, given the big nature of their corporation, they would just want to
hire an external auditor for that purpose.
Government Accounting- deals with the government; you are being employed in a
government agency; work is to account public funds; Each agency in the Philippines
namely: DBM-Department of Budget Management (Centralized agency for budget
management such as budget preparation, budget execution, budget accountability) each
agency would request for their budget and if approved, public funds would be transferred
from the Bureau of Treasury to each agency; as a government accountant, what you
have to do is to account for them and at the end of the month, quarter, or year you have
to tally; dapat kung magkano yung cash allocated sa bank ng agency mo, it would reflect
sa book mo as an accountant, you have to reconcile those items; being a government
accountant, you will not only be accountable to your agency, but once your employed in
this field, you will be accountable to the whole PH because what you are going to
account are public funds; pag may mali sa ginawa mo, it will affect the entire public
funds
Additional Myth:
Kapag accountant ka, Isang pirma mo lang, mayaman ka na - hindi raw myth at pwede raw
maging fact kase it depends kung anong field ka; kase sa government, fixed yan meron kang
sahod; sa public accounting medyo hinde; pwedeng maexperience to sa private accounting;
pwedeng employed sa private corporation or may private practice ka, yung magpapatayo ka ng
sarili mo or freelance ka; Bookkeeping services and Accounting firms na private talaga-
gumagawa ng income tax returns, financial statements ng individual business owners; may mga
certain requirements bago pumirma, kailangan accredited ka ng BIR, and BOA ( choopy ewan
ko if COA or BOA pero bat sa pagsabi nya BOA hahaha) and atleast 10 years of experience ( di
alam ni maam if naammend na) pero there is a certain years of experience bago ka maaccredit
and once accredited ka na na pumirma , accredited CPA ka na, isang pirma mo lang, it will
worth 5 digits; hindi ito totally myth or totally fact kase it depends; if tatanungin si maam if may
balak sya magganun, it is too early to say no daw kase sino naming may ayaw, freelance ka
hawak mo oras mo isang pirma mo can worth at a minimum of 5 digits pero syempre kulang pa
si maam sa years of experience.
Immersion Proper
Age ni maam is 24
Private Acounting - Result ng board nila maam was released November 07, 2017; two
weeks after, naemploy si maam sa MCNP-ISAP, educational institution, a family owned
corporation, the family also owns the RPGMC, Holy Infant Hospital, School sa Tabuk, and a
Hospital sa Apayao; so basically, this family owns various organizations; Item na binigay kay
maam is INTERNAL AUDITOR; so maam expected, as an internal auditor, her major role is to
deal with the internal control when it comes to different accounts sa corporation na yun pero
that expectation was not the reality because nung naemploy na si maam dun, she performed
the job of an accountant, wherein she prepared the financial reports, financial statements of
almost all of the organizations that they own
Reason bat may mga hindi xcompliant na business owners: yung hinihire nilang
accountant hindi competent ( one of the biggest reason); usually daw yung mg accountants nay
un matatanda na, hindi natin kalevel; ineemphasize ni maam na since nandito na tayo sa field
na ito, I hope that we try to regain the credibility of our field, I hope that as much as possible we
try to be good in our studies para after graduation or once you become an accountant, we
regain our credibility as accountant and sana by that time, yung impression nila na kasi yung isa
sa mga rason na sinasabi ng mga inaaudit ko dati is di nila alam kasi binibigay nila lahat sa
accountant nila kaya sila nagemploy ng accountant kahit mahal ta pag may accountant ayos na
and that should be the reality; yung mga business owners nasa operations ng business ang
mindset nila, pano sila kikita. Kaya sila naghihire ng accountant para yung accountant na ang
bahala sa accounting side paggawa ng taxes, reports, paggawa ng financial statements pero at
the end of the day pag hindi competent yung accountant, ang magsusuffer is business owner
kase nakapangalan yung business nila sakanila. Dito sa region 2, yung trust rate ng business
owners sa accountants is mababa; minsan nahihiya raw si maam pag ginegeneralize n asana di
nalang naghire ng accountant pag ganto kase syempre accountant rin si maam kaya she is
pleading na kung magaaccountancy raw tayo she hope that we will not just do it for the sake of
compensation but to do it for the credibility of our field; binabayaran is competence natin as an
accountant and nadedevelop yan through the years of studies so kapag hindi mo ginawa ng
maayos yung trabaho mo, hindi mo lang sasayangin yung business ng company mo kundi yung
mga pinaghirapan mo rin kase hindi nila marerecognize yung competence mo.
Pero nung sunod sunod na nagkaroon ng topnotcher ang Saint Louis, at naging recognized and
well established na ang USL sa field ng accountancy, ang PWC na mismo ang nagsend ng
invitation; unlike sa other schools na inaapplyan ang partnership with PWC, nung batch daw nila
maam that is the first year that PWC sent an invitation to USL and they requested OJTs so sila
maam daw proud batch. Batch 2017 daw that is the first year that PWC catered Louisian
students to be one of their partner schools on OJT.
USL has already established its name as one of the best schools that offer quality Accounting
Education. Louisian Accountants are sought after- fact
Broadcaster daw talaga pangarap ni maam nung elementary sya. Di nya daw talaga choice
accountancy. Walang may gusto ng Mass Com.- eh ito gusto ni maam pero inisip nya nab aka
maleft out sya kase solo nya. Influence lang ng Hgh School friends. May nagmed course – most
friends nya nagenroll ditto pero takot si maam sa hospitals ganun.
Engineering- next friends ditto pero di raw math genius si maam so ayaw nya. Legal
management- ibang friends, pero inisip ni maam need mag aral ng law school so saka lang
magkakalisensya pag nakapasa ng bar which is 4 years pa, eh need na raw ni maam ng
lisensya after 4 years.
Accountancy- mga next friends; walang idea si maam about accountancy, yung subjects lang
daw tinignan nya tas parang madali raw kase isa lang ata major nung perst year,
naggoosebumps daw sya nung pumunta sa deans office; naging accountancy student si maam
without the motivation, almost 3 years daw wala talagang motivation si maam as an
accountancy studentkase di nya pangarap; tas gusto magshift pero nasasayangan sa years na
na natapos; family looking forward to graduation- naging motivation ni maam; angreason bat di
happy si maam is di nya kasi tinatanggap so need nya panindigan
Nakita ni maam na very bright ang future of being an accountant tapos employment is not a
problem kase kung nasan ang pera, need ng accountant. After 5 years of studying nagkalicense
Once you reach the point when you feel like giving up or breaking down, go allow yourself,
when you allow yourself, you are trying to replenish , you are going to let out the negativities
that you have. Kase kung di mo ilalabas, and icocontain mo lang lahat, sasabog ka. Allow
yourself and go back to your inspiration.
Nung student leader credits are not on maam but sa mga tao raw sa likod nya. You have to
have someone to trust; very good relationship with her team daw. Establish good relationship
with subordinates
Governor si maam
Trust your subordinates; to ensure the success of your event it is not always tht you have to be
there, you have to trust the people around you; and she is very lucky raw ta competent yung
subordinates nya and trustworthy and under the same goal which is to maintain the stability of
our department first time that SBAA and SHEVED merged, wala pang SABH dati, during
governorship ni maam, first year SABH came into existence
Ginawa ni maam entering school, she is governor tas sa labas ng school, sa dorm nya, student
sya review sleep
Personal choice ng business owner na kasuhan yung accountant na nagkamali lalo na if may
basis sa contract; if maproprove na may negligence si accountant sa mga nakaspecify sa
contract, he/she can be sued
If you feel down, Find your biggest motivation but allow yourself to feel that way for its normal.
At the end of the day you’re doing this for your family

NEW NORMAL
World of Finance
How are you going to reboot strategies, boost your presence, and create value in the
new normal?
Most priority of individuals is health
How did the pandemic really affect the world of finance?
One of the most affected areas during this pandemic is the world of finance
Positive Effects
- People now are focus on using contactless transactions
o Pay bills using applications (Gcash)
o Buying and selling things using online platforms
- We are able to improvise because of the risk brought by pandemic
- The improvised methods of doing things resulted into good returns
Negative Effects
- Because we now heavily rely on technology, there would be a threat or a risk on our
privacy
- When you use online platforms, they require personal (private) information, such as
bank accounts, etc.
Fourth Industrial Revolution: Technology is actually not the problem, it is trust. Can we trust
the technology? Can we trust the new processes?
Finance
Banking
Positive Effects
- Online transactions in banks/Online banking
- The risk is lessened caused by going in banks
Credit
Negative Effects
- The debts of the government inflate due to their utmost ways to fight this pandemic
- Mga nawawalan ng trabaho kailangan mangutang
- Sa mga banks naman the risk of the debts from the jobless people be unpaid are high
Capital Markets
Positive Effects
- Since people has been looking for other sources of income, they tried to explore
- Some people ventured to capital markets, such as investing in stocks, in bonds, and other
securities
Money
Investments
- For others, they put up businesses
- Ang nakakalungkot ay yung mag-uumpisa pa lang nung nagblow up ang pandemic ay
biglang naglockdown
- Filing bankruptcies (way for minimizing losses)
Finance
Divided into three segments
o Public Finance
Government spending
Government taxation
Government policies
o Needed in order for them to fulfill their duties to the society
o Corporate Finance
Corporations/Business Establishments
o Personal Finance
Individual Finance
Save money personally
Invest money personally
Risk points to different directions. Sometimes you don’t know where to go. Everything around
you are uncertain sometimes.
Risk is defined in financial terms as the chance that an outcome (e.g. Investment’s actual gains)
will differ from an expected outcome.
Stock Exchange
Expected outcome not = Actual outcome
5000 after a month is not = 500 after a month
Even if the outcome is not like the expectation, you are able to gain experience
Types of Risk
Operational Risk
Case of Businesses
Presence of this pandemic put different businesses to operational risk
They risk whether they will still continue with their operations or not because of the
presence of different contingencies
Business Risk
Whether the sales of the company would be sufficient to keep the business running
Would they be able to make sales in order for them to continue operating?
Credit Risk
Risk ng mga nagpapautang
Possibility ng pinautangan ay di na magbayad
Sometimes called default
Liquidity Risk
Particular for businesses
Will you be able to convert your assets to cash by the time you will be needing cash?
Applicable din for individuals
o Naginvest ka sa stocks then biglang bumaba value. So, will you be able to
sell you securities/stocks at a price that will prevent you to incur more losses?
Political Risk
High Profile
Ever-existing din
Even if it’s perfect in another part, but if there’s a political instability in a location,
there will always be problems.
Risk takes on many forms but is broadly categorized as the chance an outcome or investment’s
actual gain will differ from the expected outcome or return.
Diversification
- Don’t put all your eggs in one basket
Return
Gain or Loss
Very important factor is time for return to be realized
A return also known as a financial return, in its simplest terms, is the money made or lost on an
investment (or any other activities) over some period of time.
A return is the change in price of an asset, investment, or project over time, which may be
represented in terms of price change or percentage change.
The total return for stocks includes price change as well as dividend (common stocks) and
interest payments (preferred stocks).
(Risk Averse) Low Risk Low Return, (Risk Taker) High Risk Higher Potential Return
The appropriate risk-return tradeoff depends on a variety of factors including an investor’s risk
tolerance, the investor’s years to retirement and the potential to replace lost funds.
Balance risk and return but there is no definite formula for that
“Never the test the depth of the river with both feet.”
- Warren Buffett
On Earning
“Never depend on single income. Make investment to create a second source.”
- Because of the risk brought by pandemic, a lot of people improvise. They looked for other
source of income. A good source of income other than employment is investment (stocks).
On Spending
“If you buy things, you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need.”
- 5.5 Sale hahaha
- Whenever you buy things, ask yourself if you need it or not.
On Savings
“Do not save on what is left after spending, but spend what is left after saving.”
- Income-savings=expenses
On Taking Risk
“Never test the depth of river with both the feet.”
On Investment
“Do not put all eggs in one basket.”
On Expectations
“Honesty is a very expensive gift. Do not expect it from cheap people.”
- It is not bad to expect, but your expectation should be grounded on a good foundation.
Finance, banking, investment is a complicated world. In order for you to always be in control of
the situation, you should always take note that you know yourself better than anyone.
