NFJPIA
National Federation of Junior Philippine Institute of Accountants
The National Federation of Junior Philippine Institute of Accountants was created in 1983 under the auspices of the Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants to serve as a link between the accountancy students and their professional counterparts. Being the only national organization of accountancy students, it is tasked with organizing its members into a relevant sector of the business community. And is a recognized chapter of the National Council of Philippine-American Canadian Accountants (NCPACA). NFJPIA is also the largest student organization in the Philippines. With that in mind, the Federation is committed in training advocates of development and innovations through knowledge by promoting fellowship among member schools. The mother organization of NFJPIA is the Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants. It was founded in November 1929 by a group of illustrious pioneers in the accounting profession namely: Enrique Caguiat, Santiago dela Cruz, Francisco Dalupan, Jaime Hernandez, Felipe Ollada, Ramon del Rosario, Antonio Sanchez, Jose Torres, Artemio Tulio, Clemente Uson, and Jesus Zulueta.
THE ORGANIZATION
NFJPIA has more than 86,820 members in 41 years of service, distributed among its 447 accredited Local Chapters governed by 13 Regional Councils across the nation. Through the years, the organization has received special citations from PICPA, its mother organization, and various accounting firms. In 1998, during the convention of the ASEAN Federation of Accountants held in Manila, NFJPIA has been recognized for its invaluable contributions during the convention. In the Federation Year 1998-1999, NFJPIA received a Diamond Year Award from PICPA, for its support in the fulfillment of its objectives to strengthen the bond between JPIA and PICPA. Moreover, we continue to aspire to be an integral part of nation-building by reinventing the Filipino youth and providing them an avenue for academic excellence and social growth to be a human resource development center for future leaders and professionals – appreciating and refining raw talent and potential – thus supplying a quality workforce worthy of global recognition.
