Invitation for Applications for vacancies on both the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) have been issued by the Public Interest Oversight Board’s (PIOB) Standard-Setting Boards Nominations Committee for terms beginning January 1, 2025. The application period is open until February 9, 2024.
IAASB Board
The IAASB seeks individuals with the necessary skills and experiences to complete current projects, including sustainability, while also ensuring the Board will be able to deliver on its Strategy and Work Plan for 2024 to 2027.
In the current cycle, there are up to seven vacancies, including potential re-appointments of four members, which are effective from 1 January 2025. Two vacancies are for practitioners and up to five vacancies are for individuals other than practitioners.
The IAASB will continue expanding and enhancing its technical staff to take forward the development of relevant, timely, high-quality standards, and will pursue a reduction of its members to sixteen by the end of 2025. This will allow the IAASB members to take on a more strategic role and further support the multi-stakeholder Board as envisaged in the Monitoring Group (MG) Recommendations.
