You are keenly interested in public interest and practical public sector issues, and are able to drive initiatives forward in a collaborative environment.
You are an excellent communicator at ease both in navigating a multi-cultural work setting and in liaising with senior officials, including professional accountants, particularly from government and other public sector organizations.
You have strong drafting skills, and convey your thoughts clearly and concisely.
You also enjoy the challenge of analyzing the interactions of technical standards in depth, from both a conceptual and practical perspective, to guide the development of public sector appropriate principles.

During this dynamic time, you can help to shape the future of global public sector accounting by working to deliver on the challenging projects on the IPSASB work program.
The current work program includes topics that relate to serious issues facing governments today.

This includes raising awareness of the IPSASB Accounting and SRS Standards and the benefits of adoption and implementation. Your ability to operate effectively in this role will be predicated on your ability to proactively manage your technical projects, including key stakeholders, through to final high-quality standards.
You will need to keep up to date on the latest developments related to technical accounting standards and reporting, to contribute creatively to drive the delivery of leading-edge standard-setting projects.
