The Junior
Philippine Institute of Accountants – Enverga University chapter continued its
magical event, the 3rd Online Accounting Triwizard Tournament, held
at the AEC Little Theatre and RBA Hall, on January 26 starting at 10 o’clock in
the morning.
The
registration of participants was conducted from 9:00 to 10:00 am. Afterwards,
the opening program was held at the AEC Little Theatre. It started with a
doxology, followed by the national anthem and the university hymn. Next is the
welcoming remark from the president of EU-JPIA, Mr. Jejomar Monterey, who is
also the event’s over-all chairperson. After this, the history of ATT
(Accounting Triwizard Tournament) was presented. The dean of College of
Business and Accountancy, Dean Paz Bobadilla also gave her message for the
participants. An intermission number was also presented, followed by the
reading of the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR).
After the
program, the participants moved on to the RBA Hall for the elimination round
which started at 11:45am. The elimination is a written exam, consisting 30
questions per category and to last for 45 minutes. The exam ended at 12:30. The
participants were told to return at the AEC Little Theatre at 1:30 pm for the
announcement of finalists and the conduct of ATT’s final round.
The
Triwizard Tournament has three categories for the elimination round: Search for
Wizards of Theory Subjects – the Madame Nelda Reyes Challenge, Search for the
Wizards of Hybrid Subjects – the Atty. Leandro Garcia Challenge, and Search for
Wizards of Problem Subjects – the Atty. Antonio Acyatan Challenge. The Theory
Subjects include Theory of Accounts, Auditing Theory, and Business Law. The
Hybrid Subjects include Management Advisory Services and Taxation. The Problem
Subjects include Practical Accounting 1, Practical Accounting 2, and Auditing
Problems. The top 4 participants for each category shall advance to the final
round, the Wizards’ Duel.
With its
revised IRR the event has been improved, showing creativity and innovation. More
stuff has been incorporated to the event, such as wizard categories, potions, defensive
and offensive spells. A total of forty questions were asked in the final round
of ATT, coming from any of the seven subjects given in the CPA Board
Examination. Each question is classified as easy, average, or difficult. Easy
questions answered correctly earn a participant 50 wizard points, average
questions give 100 WP, and difficult questions provide 200 WP. Each question
answered incorrectly will result to negative WP, half of the WP assigned for
that question. The potions and spells were paired with some of the questions in
the final round. Whoever gets the correct answer for those magical questions
were awarded with either a potion, or a spell which they can use in the conduct
of the final round.
The Wizards’
Duel ended at 4:30 pm. The lists of winners are as follows:
