My apology if there is any misspelled name in the above list. Please leave a comment to correct this. Anyway, congratulations to all new CPAs and I hope the Code of Ethics of the profession is being upheld even in the Middle East which I also think is very difficult as it is in the Philippines. This is because business owners want to declare small profit for little taxes.
