All parties agree that SOASP has always been consistent with its core values: to recognize excellent accounting students who identify with skills and capabilities. For 25 years, SOASP’s main goal is to showcase the competence of accounting students from all over the Philippines through a battle of knowledge and wit and has helped many accounting students from far beyond.

The said organizations hope that SOASP will bring back the love for the profession and enlighten a bright future ahead for remarkable accounting students.
