How to Maintain Your Certified Bookkeeper (CB) Status

Earning your Certified Bookkeeper (CB) designation is a significant achievement—but maintaining it is just as important. As a CB, you are expected to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, ethics, and continuous learning in the field of bookkeeping.

Maintaining your CB status ensures your knowledge stays current, your skills remain sharp, and your professional standing continues to grow.

✔ Continue Your Professional Development

Your CB status is tied to your active membership with ICB Philippines. Make sure to renew your membership on time each year to maintain your designation and access to all member benefits.

✔ Adhere to the ICB Code of Ethics

As a CB, you are expected to maintain high ethical standards in all your professional activities. Following the ICB Code of Ethics demonstrates your commitment to integrity, objectivity, and responsible bookkeeping practices.

✔ Keep Your Information Updated

Ensure your contact details, professional records, and work experience are up to date in your ICB profile. This allows us to keep you informed and showcase your achievements accurately.
