indicate your interest by sending a curriculum vitae and a brief

More about the IFRS Taxonomy Consultative Group
The IFRS Taxonomy Consultative Group was set up in 2014. Members are
asked to review changes to the content and technology of the IFRS
Taxonomy to assess, among other things, whether those changes accurately
reflect the presentation and disclosure requirements of the IFRS
Standards. Members also guide the Board and the IFRS Foundation on
matters relating to the IFRS Taxonomy and electronic reporting
generally. The IFRS Taxonomy Consultative Group usually meets
face-to-face twice a year for one day in London; additionally members
participate in four one-hour conference calls a year.

Criteria for membership
Candidates are expected to have taxonomy-related expertise or
skills. In particular, the Board is looking for candidates who have an
understanding of the IFRS standards and use the IFRS Taxonomy either
within a regulator environment or as a preparer or user of structured
electronic data. Detailed technical knowledge of the eXtensible Business
Reporting Language is desirable but not required. The Board would
welcome applications from the Middle East or Africa as this region is
not yet represented on the IFRS Taxonomy Consultative Group.
Please note that in line with the IFRS Foundation's usual policy,
members of the consultative group will serve on a voluntary, unpaid
basis. Travel costs and other expenses will not be reimbursed.
