Proposed city accountancy school ordinance up for discussion

The proposed ordinance establishing the Cagayan de Oro City Accountancy School (CDOCAS) as a public institution for accountancy education will be taken up by the City Council committee on education, chaired by Councilor Moreno Y. Daba IV.

The proposed school is envisioned as a permanent learning institution focused on delivering high-quality accountancy education that produces graduates who meet national licensure standards and contribute to public service, local governance, and economic growth.

Under the measure, the Bachelor of Science in Accountancy program will aim to develop technically proficient and ethically grounded professionals, prepare students for the Certified Public Accountant Licensure Examination, and promote public accountability and fiscal discipline.

It will adopt outcomes-based education and undergo regular review to ensure alignment with evolving professional and regulatory standards, The Gavel learned. (JAO/SP)
