Global Preparers Forum seeks new members to join in 2026

The Global Preparers Forum (GPF) is seeking new members to join it from 1 October 2026. Applications are open to experienced

preparers around the world. In the light of the GPF’s current composition and upcoming vacancies, the GPF Nominations Committee

would particularly welcome applications from individuals who:

are based in the Asia–Oceania region or Europe; or
have industry experience in banking or financial services.

Who should apply?

Membership of the GPF is a voluntary role that does not constitute employment with the IFRS Foundation.

The main qualifications for membership of the GPF are professional competence and active, practical preparer experience. Members

are expected to regularly liaise with preparer organisations, national standard-setters and other related bodies in their region.

Members are also expected to attend and contribute to GPF meetings (which are held in English).

Candidates should be:

active in a preparer role (for example, chief accountant, chief accounting officer or head of external reporting) with

responsibility for IFRS Accounting policy or external IFRS Accounting reporting;

proficient enough in English to be able to participate in technical discussions in that language;

able to cover their own travel expenses and available to attend meetings (a candidate will, therefore, generally require the

support of his or her employer);

knowledgeable about IFRS Accounting Standards and IFRS Foundation developments; and

connected with local IFRS Accounting groups.

GPF members act in a personal capacity and do not represent their employers. GPF membership is unpaid and members pay their

expenses themselves.

Why join the GPF?

The Global Preparers Forum is an independent consultative group of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), with the

specific objective of providing the IASB with regular views from the international community of financial statement preparers.

Members of the forum:

offer advice to the IASB on the practical implications of its proposals for preparers of financial statements; and
provide input into concepts and proposals that the IASB is developing.

Meeting with the IASB

The GPF meets with IASB representatives during its one-day meetings, which take place three times a year at the IASB’s offices in

London, UK. This schedule includes one meeting per year held jointly with the Capital Markets Advisory Committee. Members can

attend in person or virtually. In the future, members might be expected to attend some meetings in person.

Meetings are public. A recording and the meeting materials are made available on the IFRS Foundation’s dedicated GPF meeting

webpage shortly after each meeting ends.

Terms of appointment

Successful candidates are expected to participate for a term of at least two years, with a maximum term of five years. Membership

might then be renewed for a second term of up to five years. (The maximum total membership period over two full terms is 10

years.)

Membership of the GPF is a voluntary role that does not constitute employment with the IFRS Foundation.

Apply

Please apply with your CV/resume and cover letter. Applicants will be asked to provide details of their relevant experience and

expertise.

The closing date for applications is 19 June 2026.

The GPF has the discretion to review applications received after the specified date.

This is a high-stakes, high-autonomy role where you will take genuine ownership of the PCI certification portfolio that underpins this infrastructure. Your success will not be measured by writing code or implementing fixes, but rather defined by knowing the landscape better than anyone in the room, aligning the right stakeholders, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. If you treat a compliance deadline as a problem to solve six months in advance, and can walk an engineering team through a PCI requirement and a QSA through an engineering decision with equal confidence — this role was built for you. What you’ll do * Lead the process: Take central ownership of PCI Certifications for our Payments Solution, encompassing PIN/KMO, P2PE, PTS, MPoC, and SSF. * Manage the portfolio: Maintain a comprehensive, up-to-date inventory of all PCI certifications across hardware devices, software applications, and solution-level certifications. * Plan proactively: Track expiry dates, re-evaluation windows, and delta certification triggers.

Translate compliance requirements into actionable engineering tasks without slowing down the development lifecycle. * Maintain documentation: Take full ownership of all security documentation required for assessments (asset inventories, threat models, data flow diagrams, etc.), ensuring audit readiness year-round. * Engage with the industry: Represent Adyen at PCI SSC working groups and industry forums, contributing to the development of standards that will shape the future of payment security. Who you are * You have deep subject matter expertise in PCI frameworks and standards such as PIN/KMO, P2PE, PTS-POI, MPoC, SSF. * You have a proven track record of orchestrating complex compliance pipelines, juggling multiple certifications, deadlines, and external assessors simultaneously. * You are technically fluent enough to sit with hardware and software engineers, understand what they are building, and give them compliance guidance that is actually useful. * You build trust on both sides: QSAs trust you because you are organized and prepared; engineers trust you because you make their lives easier. * You operate with high autonomy. You do not need to be chased for updates and you do not wait for deadlines to appear before acting. * You are a strong communicator who can clearly present complex compliance concepts to technical and non-technical audiences alike. * PCI ISA certification is a strong advantage, though not a requirement for this role. **This role is being call Senior Security Certifications Expert internally Why this role The certifications you manage directly determine what Adyen can build, what it can sell, and where it can operate. This is not a compliance support function, it is a critical ownership role at the center of Adyen's most sensitive and heavily regulated payment infrastructure. The work is real, the ownership is genuine, and the impact is measurable. Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion commitments Our unique approach is a product of our diverse perspectives. This diversity of backgrounds and cultures is essential in helping us maintain our momentum. Our business and technical challenges are unique, and we need as many different voices as possible to join us in solving them - voices like yours.
