Cebu Institute of Technology – University (CIT University) and Autocount (Philippines) Inc. have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to strengthen AutoCount accounting education at the university. The partnership will integrate AutoCount Accounting into the university’s syllabus and give students practical experience with digital accounting tools.
The collaboration connects classroom learning with real-world business practices. Through hands-on training, CIT University students can develop skills in transaction processing, financial reporting, inventory management, and taxation.
Strengthening AutoCount Accounting Education
The partnership aims to help students become more prepared for technology-driven accounting workplaces. By working with an actual accounting system, students can gain practical experience with digital workflows used by businesses.
“This partnership will help students connect classroom learning with workplace practice and become more confident, adaptable and career-ready,” said Vanadium Ho, Country Manager of Autocount (Philippines) Inc.
Moreover, the collaboration may support faculty training, student certification, internship exposure, and future industry-academic activities.
Students and educators may also extend their learning through AutoCount Academy, which offers self-paced courses and learning resources. AutoCount also offers courses that can lead to certificates in computerized and cloud accounting.
Developing Practical Digital Accounting Skills
Modern accounting requires more than knowledge of accounting principles. Professionals also need to work confidently with digital systems and business applications.
Through the partnership, students can develop practical competencies in areas such as:
- Transaction processing
- Financial reporting
- Inventory management
- Tax-related accounting processes
- Digital accounting workflows
As a result, the initiative can help bridge the gap between academic preparation and workplace expectations.
AutoCount Accounting integrates accounting, inventory, billing, sales, and purchasing functions. Its Philippine platform also includes features designed to support local accounting and tax requirements.
Expanding Industry-Academic Collaboration
The MOU represents another step toward stronger collaboration between higher education and industry. By introducing industry software into academic learning, CIT University can provide students with opportunities to apply accounting concepts in a practical setting.
In addition, the partnership may create opportunities for faculty development, internships, certifications, and other industry-academic initiatives.
These activities can further support students as they prepare for careers in accounting, finance, business, and related fields.
AutoCount Marks 30 Years in Accounting Technology
