Project Directors, Accounting Standards Board

Financial regulation

London

Permanent

Updated February 18, 2010


Do you want to help influence the future direction of financial reporting?

The FRC is currently seeking one or more full-time Project Directors who will make a significant contribution to the ASB's success.

Project Directors assume responsibility for leading and managing ASB projects from inception to completion, developing technically sound proposals and presenting them to the Board.

Who we're looking for
Project Directors will need to demonstrate:

- Experience of dealing with technical accounting issues and a commitment to the improvement of financial reporting. We would particularly welcome applications from those with experience of accounting for tax and share-based payments.

- A good awareness and understanding of the wider commercial, regulatory and political contexts that impact on financial reporting.

- Self-motivation and an ability to develop innovative and workable proposals.

- The ability and confidence to negotiate with senior members of the accounting profession and other organisations.

- Strong communication skills, both oral and written, including an attention to detail.

- The ability to plan and organise work on their own initiative with little supervision, and to meet deadlines.

- The ability to work effectively as a member of a team.

About our client
