When considering candidates, Trustees will look for individuals who:
  • have a high level of technical expertise;
  • add to the diversity of the Interpretations Committee in terms of international business;
  • have market experience in the practical application of IFRS Standards and analysis of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Standards; and
  • can serve in an individual capacity and demonstrate their independence.
The successful candidate will be appointed to serve for a term that will begin on 1 July 2016 and that will expire on 30 June 2019.  The term may be renewed for a further three years. Members are expected to attend, in London, approximately six two-day meetings each year. Membership is unpaid, but the IFRS Foundation meets members’ reasonable travel expenses incurred for Interpretations Committee business.
