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.

IFRS FOUNDATION CALLS FOR NOMINATIONS FOR TRUSTEE POSITIONS BEGINNING JANUARY 2027 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. This is done through its two standard-setting boards: the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), which sets IFRS® Accounting Standards, and the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), which sets IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards. The Trustees of the IFRS Foundation oversee the Foundation and are accountable to a Monitoring Board of capital market authorities. The 22 Trustees are appointed from Africa, the Americas, Asia–Oceania, Europe and ‘at large’ (any area of the world), and come from varied professional backgrounds. They are responsible for governance and organisational strategy; for maintaining the Foundation’s Constitution and the Due Process Handbook; for appointing members to the IASB, the ISSB, the IFRS Interpretations Committee and various advisory bodies; and for funding. Trustees also assume the role of company directors in accordance with the UK Overseas Companies Regulations 2009. The Foundation is seeking three new Trustees: two from the Americas and one to fill an ‘at large’ position. The appointments begin on 1 January 2027. Qualified candidates will have senior-level experience from any broad array of professional backgrounds and an interest in corporate reporting. They will be able to demonstrate a firm commitment to serving the public interest, to the work of the Foundation and to the IASB and the ISSB as high-quality global standard-setters and will be knowledgeable about finance. They must be able to meet the time commitment, which includes, but is not limited to, at least three three-day meetings each year held in different locations around the world and serve on Trustee committees that meet during the three-day meetings as well as on an ad hoc basis via video calls. All candidates will be considered, though there is a preference for candidates with an investor background. Trustees are expected to engage with stakeholders in the markets in their geographical region. Trustees should understand, and be sensitive to, the challenges associated with the adoption and application of high-quality global accounting and sustainability disclosure standards. They should also have knowledge of relevant current issues, such as the effect of new technologies on corporate reporting and developments in investor and market information needs. Current employees of organisations represented on the Monitoring Board are not eligible for consideration. The appointments are for three years. Terms may be renewed for another three years. Read about the role of Trustees and how the Foundation ensures the group of Trustees remains diverse with an appropriate balance of professional backgrounds. Please apply through our job board. Include a covering letter and CV addressed to Ken Robinson, Chair of the IFRS Foundation Nominating Committee. Applications are due by 21 July 2026 ***The Trustees have the discretion to review applications received after the specified date*** Interviews are planned to take place in the third quarter of 2026.
