The University of Santo Tomas Alfredo M. Velayo College of Accountancy, or "UST Accountancy", is the business school, specialized in Accountancy and Management Accounting, of the University of Santo Tomas, the oldest and the largest Catholic university in Manila, Philippines. The university is one of the first accountancy schools in the Philippines. It is a consistent top performing accountancy school in the Philippine Certified Public Accountants (CPA) licensure examinations.〔(Certified Public Accountants Licensure Exam Results October 2007 )〕〔(Certified Public Accountants Licensure Exam Results October 2009 )〕 The college is named after Alfredo M. Velayo, an alumnus of the university and the co-founder of the SyCip Gorres Velayo & Co.. ==Brief history== The University of Santo Tomas started offering the accountancy program in 1933 under the School of Commerce, which was eventually granted by the Bureau of Education to operate as the College of Commerce in 1935 under its first dean, Dr. Stanley Prescott. The degree was then known as Bachelor of Science in Commerce major in Accounting (BSC Acctg.). To further enhance the passing rate of the university in the CPA licensure examination, Santo Tomas revised its curriculum from BSC Acctg. to Bachelor of Science in Accountancy (BSA). This objective was evidently achieved as the college received an Achievement Award on November 15, 2000 from the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) for ranking first among colleges/universities with 100 or more examinees from 1996 to 2000. It was only on November 10, 2004 that the Accountancy Department of the College of Commerce and Accountancy was separated and stood as a new college, upon the recommendation of and in coordination with the UST College of Commerce and Business Administration Alumni Foundation, Inc. (COCAFI). This event made the UST Alfredo M. Velayo College of Accountancy the first degree-granting unit of the University named after one of its renowned alumnus, an unprecedented event in the 394-year history of the oldest university in the Philippines. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alfredo M.
