In the realm of internal auditing, the truth is rarely found on the surface; it is unearthed through a meticulous blend of precision, skepticism, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

For three standout students of the 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 (𝗝𝗣𝗜𝗔) – 𝗦𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗟𝗼𝘂𝗶𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿, this pursuit of clarity culminated in a triumphant milestone. 𝙀𝙧𝙞𝙠𝙖 𝙎𝙤𝙥𝙝𝙞𝙖 𝙒. 𝘿𝙞𝙖𝙯, 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙁𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙯 𝙄𝙫𝙮 𝙃. 𝘿𝙧𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙩𝙤, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙅𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣 𝙅𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝘼. 𝙍𝙚𝙮𝙚𝙨 have successfully navigated the formidable Qualifying Examination for the 1st 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝘂𝗱𝗶𝘁 𝗖𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸 (𝗜𝗔𝗖𝗧), achieving a perfect 𝟭𝟬𝟬% passing rate for the chapter.

Themed “Portrait of Risk: The Gallery of Hidden Truths,” the examination served as a rigorous gauntlet designed to test the analytical mettle of aspiring auditors. Beyond mere calculations, the assessment required candidates to peel back the layers of complex financial narratives and identify the systemic risks lurking beneath.

By surmounting this challenge, Diaz, Drequito, and Reyes have not only demonstrated their technical proficiency but have also proven their readiness to uphold the integrity of the profession in an increasingly volatile economic landscape.

This flawless performance by the SLC delegation underscores the chapter’s dedication to academic rigor and professional development. As these young JPIAns advance along their certification track, they carry the "Nyxaereon" spirit of resilience and mastery.

Their success serves as a definitive portrait of what can be achieved when discipline meets opportunity, setting a high standard for their peers and affirming that in the gallery of hidden truths, these three have clearly found their light.

Congratulations, JPIAns!🩷✨
