IFRS® Foundation Trustees seek new members of the IFRS Advisory Council The Trustees of the IFRS Foundation are seeking new members of the IFRS Advisory Council—the strategic advisory body to the Trustees and the Foundation’s two standard-setting boards—to succeed members whose terms end on 31 December 2026. Nominees should demonstrate a strong engagement with the mission of the IFRS Foundation and a commitment to contributing to its strategic direction. Appointments are from 1 January 2027 and are for three years, eligible for renewal once for another three years. About the IFRS Foundation The IFRS Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation created in 2001 to develop—in the public interest—high-quality, understandable, enforceable and globally accepted standards for general purpose financial reporting, and to promote and facilitate their adoption. The Standards—IFRS® Accounting Standards and IFRS® Sustainability Disclosure Standards—are collectively referred to as IFRS® Standards. The Standards are set by the Foundation’s two independent standard-setting bodies, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), using a rigorous, inclusive and transparent due process. The Trustees oversee the two boards and are accountable to a Monitoring Board of public authorities. About the IFRS Advisory Council The IFRS Advisory Council is the formal strategic advisory body to the Trustees, the IASB and the ISSB. The Council currently consists of around 50 representatives of organisations and individuals from diverse functional and geographical backgrounds with an interest in international corporate reporting. Members include academics, auditors, investors and other users of corporate reports, preparers, regulators, professional accounting bodies, standard-setters and multilateral organisations. The Advisory Council normally meets twice a year for two days in London. One or two additional short meetings may be held by videoconference to handle time-sensitive matters arising between the in-person meetings. Meetings are open to the public. Individuals appointed to the Advisory Council are expected to participate actively in all meetings. All Council discussions are in English. Members of the Advisory Council serve on a voluntary, unpaid basis and are required to pay their own travel-related expenses. What we are looking for The Trustees are seeking nominations from organisations with knowledge and interest in international corporate reporting to support the IFRS Foundation’s work. Nominees may include representatives from global, regional or local organisations; and from developed and emerging and developing economies. While all types of organisations will be considered, the Trustees are particularly seeking interest from organisations involved in sustainability-related disclosures, integrated reporting and wider corporate reporting; investors and other users of corporate reports; corporate governance organisations; technology firms; and organisations representing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). While there are no regional or geographical restrictions on Council membership, and all applications and nominations will be fully considered, the Foundation is committed to strengthening global representation on the Council. This includes seeking to increase participation from underrepresented regions, such as Africa, the Americas and across Asia–Oceania. Nominated individuals are expected to be highly experienced people in their organisations, competent in advising on strategy and able to help shape the future of corporate reporting.  Experience engaging with investor stakeholders would be beneficial. Nominees are expected to be able to draw on their organisational and professional networks to help encourage broad participation in the development of high‑quality, globally accepted IFRS Standards, to hold senior positions and to have influence within their organisations. While corporate reporting knowledge is needed, the Trustees are seeking individuals who can bring sound strategic judgement and forward-looking perspectives, rather than detailed technical expertise in IFRS Standards. The Trustees will also consider applications from individuals on their own behalf. Member organisations whose individual representative is eligible to serve a second term will be considered alongside new applications and nominations received. The Trustees encourage nominating organisations to put forward a range of candidates who meet the qualifying criteria to enable them to achieve an appropriately gender- balanced and diverse membership of the Advisory Council. Further information about the IFRS Advisory Council, including its terms of reference and criteria for membership, can be found on the IFRS website. Please consult the criteria when considering nominations. To apply Please press the “apply” button above. Include a covering letter, any letters of support and CV, addressed to Ken Robinson, Chair of the IFRS Foundation Nominating Committee. Applications are due by 31 July 2026.   Trustees have the discretion to review applications received after the specified date.   Learn more about the IFRS Foundation at ifrs.org.   .
