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.

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!
