IFRS Foundation Trustees invite applications for three new members to the IFRS Interpretations Committee

The IFRS Foundation Trustees invite applications from suitable candidates to serve on the IFRS Interpretations Committee from July 2025.

The Interpretations Committee works with the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) in maintaining and supporting the consistent application of IFRS Accounting Standards by responding to application questions and carrying out other work at the request of the IASB. It consists of 14 voting members and a non-voting chair, IASB Member Bruce Mackenzie.

Successful candidates will be appointed to serve a term beginning on 1 July 2025 and ending on 30 June 2028. The term may be renewed for a further three years. Members are expected to attend up to six two-day meetings in London each year. Membership is unpaid, but the IFRS Foundation meets members’ reasonable travel and accommodation expenses incurred for attending Interpretations Committee meetings.

There will be three vacancies arising on 1 July 2025. One appointment will be to replace a member from one of the four large accounting firms, and the Trustees will invite applications for candidates from this firm. The other two positions are open for all applicants. However, based on the skills, experience and background of outgoing members and the overall balance of the Interpretations Committee, the following attributes would be of specific interest:

• preparers of financial statements; and
• practitioners from accounting firms other than one of the four large accounting firms.

When considering candidates, Trustees will consider individuals who:

• have a high level of technical expertise;
• add to the diversity of the Interpretations Committee in terms of international business and market experience;
• have market experience in the practical application of IFRS Accounting Standards and experience analysing financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards; and
• can serve in an individual capacity and demonstrate their independence.

Please indicate interest by sending a covering letter and a curriculum vitae by 28 February 2025 to Ken Robinson, Chair of the Nominating Committee, by email to jrobinson@ifrs.org.
