The Bachelor of Science in Accounting Technology (BSAT) of STI Education
Services Group, I nc. (STI ) recently passed the recognition of the National I nstitute of

Accounting Technician (CATS) global standards.
NI AT is a Philippine-based organization that dedicates itself to the growth of
the industry of Accounting Technology. I t evaluates the curricula of schools with
Accounting Technology programs, and determine its alignment with the certification
program it provides. STI , through the Content Research and Development (CRD)
group of its Academics division, has earned the recognition of the business and

part CAT licensure examinations without additional training which is required for
BSAT graduates of non-recognized schools.
The recognition STI received from NI AT not only acknowledges STI 's design
of the BSAT program, but also helps propel the success of the accounting technology
career of students undergoing the program. Passing each level of the exams confers

I nformation Systems (MI S) and Head of Academic Research & Development, says,
"with the recognition STI gained from MAT, our students are accepted to be better trained to
take on the real world of the industry as professionals, and find better employment
opportunities in the future. This ultimately provides Sfl's BSAT graduates a better
advantage in their education.
