DOHA 22 July 2024 — Her Excellency Philippine Ambassador to the State of Qatar Lillibeth V. Pono attended the 17th General Assembly and induction of the new set of officers of the Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants Doha LLC (PICPA Doha) on 19 July 2024.

During the event, which bore the theme “17th Year: Advancing Excellence, Empowering Professionals – Where Expertise Meets Impact,” Ambassador Pono lauded PICPA’s endurance as a professional group.

“The theme for this year’s event reflects what I believe have been key to PICPA Doha’s endurance as an organization: excellence, professionalism, and the lasting impact of the work you have undertaken for the benefit of your colleagues and the community at large,” she said.

A Certified Public Accountant herself, Ambassador Pono also underscored the importance of transparency, accountability and trust, discipline, responsibility, and having an eye for detail as integral to achieving success in the field.

“I trust that these principles and values will continue to guide Filipino CPAs in the exercise of their profession, whether as accountants, auditors, bankers, managers, CFOs, CEOs, COOs, or consultants,” she said.
