The Accounting Standards Oversight Council (AcSOC) is currently seeking a new member to appoint to the Accounting Standards Board (AcSB). AcSOC is looking for an experienced individual committed to the AcSB’s strategic direction, with broad vision, an understanding of accounting concepts, and the ability to anticipate the implications of proposed standards. This demanding but rewarding volunteer role involves a time commitment of approximately 250 hours a year of preparation and meeting time. The AcSB normally meets face-to-face in Toronto seven times per year and at other times by conference call. The appointment would be for a three-year term ending March 31, 2014, with a possible renewal term. AcSOC seeks to maintain a balance of different backgrounds and perspectives amongst the AcSB’s members. Given the AcSB’s current membership and activities, AcSOC intends to appoint a new member with an academic background and broad experience in research and teaching of financial reporting issues. The AcSB contributes to enhanced decision-making by improving the quality of financial information reported by Canadian profit-oriented enterprises and not-for-profit organizations. Further information about the AcSB is available at www.acsbcanada.org. If you are interested in this position or know of someone who might be, or wish further information, please contact Peter Martin, Accounting Standards Director, at peter.martin@cica.ca or (416) 204-3276, by December 15, 2010. |
