Best Practices in the Preparation, Remedies and Defenses of SALN - Earn CPD Credits!



Accountants and lawyers can play a big role with providing services to public officials in the preparation of their Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net worth (SALN).  Many in government, especially the incoming newly elected ones, get into trouble because they are clueless about it.  More than 70% of public officials and government employees do not take to heart the preparation and filing of their SALNs when they should be. Many of them simply rely on their secretaries who are not skilled enough in preparing these really important documents.

These days, we constantly hear news of public officials from national government agencies, GOCCs and LGUs suspended from office by the Ombudsman and convicted by the Sandiganbayan because of incorrect and erroneous SALN.  This has caused the downfall of leaders with their impeachment/ conviction and removal from office while others are in jail awaiting completion of their trial with their reputation sullied and destroyed – all accused of graft and unexplained wealth with their questionable SALN.

With a more vigilant public and with the likely passage of the Freedom of Information Bill, they will even be more an easier target for lawsuits and vulnerable to bad publicity in case they have not prepared their SALN well.  To guide accountants, lawyers and public officials on this very specialized topic, the Center for Global Best Practices is launching a pioneering CPD-accredited seminar entitled, "Best Practices in the Preparation, Defenses and Remedies of SALN ", scheduled on Friday, June 24, 2016 at The EDSA Shangri-La Hotel, Mandaluyong City, Philippines. For details and a complete list of best practices seminars including How to Avoid COA Disallowances(Aug. 26), Understanding Procurement Law & its IRR (Sept. 29 & 30), LocalGovernment & Real Property Taxation (Aug. 19),  and more, you may log on to www.cgbp.org or call (+63 2) 842-7148/ 59 and 556-8968/ 69, Cebu lines: (+63 32) 512-3106 or 07, Baguio line: (+63 74) 423-5148 or Legazpi line: (+63 52) 736-0148.

In this one-day seminar, attendees will learn the best practices related to SALN. Topics include how to correct prior years’ SALN, Networth Discrepancy Method of Detecting Ill-Gotten Wealth, Reconciling SALN with ITR, Certification, Waiver, Undertakings and more!

This will feature expert law practitioner and seasoned defense lawyer of many public officials with cases in the Ombudsman and Sandiganbayan, Atty. Jose Alvarez Gangan, CPA.  Presently, he is also the Managing Director of G & J Strategies, CEO of H&WB Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. and Chairman of the Board of Frontier Cove & Coast, Inc.  He also served as the Chief Legal Counsel of Teofisto T. Guingona, Jr. when he was a senator and the Executive Secretary to former Pres. Fidel V. Ramos. He received various commendations and awards including Most Outstanding CPA in Government Service (GACPA 1996), Hall of Fame Award, UE Alumni Association (2003), NEDA scholarship and Senior Executive Fellow, JFK School of Government, Harvard University (1997).  He is also holds the record of being the youngest CPA at 18 graduating cum laude at UE in 1974.  He specializes on defending public officials with cases with the Ombudsman and Sandiganbayan.  He serves as the course director and lecturer for this SALN program.
