Abstract

nflation has affected numerous aspects of living globally, and this consistent drop in purchasing power has been attributed to the rise of overall prices of goods, leading to greater challenges in global living standards. There have been numerous studies indicating the impact of inflation amongst many stakeholders, but in this study, the objective is to assess whether it also affected the learners of a selected institution in the same way. Hence, a descriptive-correlational design was utilized to describe and correlate the levels of perceived assessment on modern-day inflation and the perceived changes in the budget consumption and decisions of Senior High School learners in the period of 2022. A structured Likert scale survey questionnaire adopted from the study of Avila & Gatpolintan (2019) was distributed to a sample of 282 respondents using simple random sampling. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics for the first two objectives and Pearson r correlation for the third. The study revealed a very high level of agreement in the price increase brought by their perceptions toward modern-day inflation, a very high level of agreement on their perceived changes toward expenditures, and a high level for their preferences and quantity of consumption. The study also noted a moderate positive correlation (p<0.05) between the two variables, indicating that the learners' budgeting behaviors are influenced by their assessment of rising prices and that their perceptions have also been influenced by how they chose and quantified their necessities, respectively.

Abstract

This study aimed to describe the experiences and perceptions of Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) regarding their Bachelor of Science in Accountancy (BSA) course, their careers as CPAs, and their sources of motivation. A total of five (5) CPAs residing in the City of Koronadal were interviewed using a Descriptive Qualitative Design. The participants were selected through purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria. Data collection involved researcher-made, open-ended interview guide questionnaires, and interviews were conducted online via Google Forms. Thematic analysis, following Braun and Clarke’s (2006) approach, was used to analyze their responses. The results revealed that participants during their time as accountancy students perceived the said profession as prestigious and financially rewarding. However, they faced significant challenges, including the mental demands of coursework, social isolation due to academic pressures, and financial constraints that affect their studies. When they became CPAs, their motivations shifted as they now balance extrinsic factors such as financial stability and family support with intrinsic motivations like personal growth and career fulfillment. Despite this, they continue to encounter stress, time management difficulties, and the pressure of continuous learning to stay competitive in the field. This study unfolded that while the accounting profession is challenging, motivation helps students and CPAs overcome obstacles and find success. Aspiring CPAs should develop strong financial expertise and perseverance. Likewise, CPAs must pursue continuous learning and mentorship, educators and policymakers should enhance practical training and support systems, and future researchers are encouraged to expand their sample sizes for deeper analysis.
