Updates on BIR Audit Reforms
The temporary suspension of audit and field operations under Revenue Memorandum Circular (RMC) No. 107 2025, issued on 24 November 2025, marked a deliberate pause in the Bureau of Internal Revenue’s (BIR) audit operations. This suspension was intended not merely as a reprieve for taxpayers but as a strategic opportunity for the BIR to recalibrate its audit framework, enhancing efficiency, strengthening safeguards, and restoring confidence in the integrity of the tax audit system.

From intentions to actions: Building resolutions that last
It’s a brand-new year, and it’s time to turn the page to a fresh list of New Year resolutions. Just like some people, I too have created my own set of goals. One of my priorities this year is to give back to my Firm, P&A Grant Thornton, by mentoring more staff members in-person. I believe that meeting them face-to-face creates an environment where people feel valued. Additionally, I would also like to remain active in my professional and business organisations, as I see this as an opportunity to make a positive impact not just on my mentees but also on my Firm.
