Only schools with at least 50 examinees were qualified for the ranking of top accountancy schools in the country by the Professional Regulatory Commission (PRC).

In his memo to the academic community, university president Fr Roberto “Bobby” C Yap SJ congratulated the 15 new Xavier Atenean CPAs.

Yap also thanked the people behind this latest feat of the university: “We thank School of Business and Management dean Dr Ruth Love V Russell, Accountancy Department chairwoman Estela S Ganas, and the faculty and staff of SBM for their guidance and support for our students.”
