"We thank PICPA for promoting the role of the accounting profession in achieving transparency and accountability not just in the government service but also in the private practice.

Since the start of his term in 2018, the Commission has received unqualified opinions from the Commission on Audit on the fairness of presentation of its financial statements from 2018 to 2021. This is the longest streak of unqualified opinions that the SEC has received over the past decade.
