Medium and large taxpayers are invited to attend a one-day seminar on BIR Computerized Accounting System Compliance to help those businesses which are having difficulty setting up, getting accreditation, and running a successful computerized accounting system (CAS) in compliance with the 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 in the third quarter, this becomes especially relevant to both medium and large taxpayers. The event is scheduled on Aug. 4 at the Seda Abreeza Hotel, Davao City.

The seminar will feature seasoned practitioner Bienvenido Constantino. His expertise include aligning medium to large taxpayers’ IT-based accounting systems to comply with all the BIR regulations.
