Audit Firm Monitoring and Supervisory approach team

Permanent, Full Time OR Part Time (4 days a week)

The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) is responsible for promoting transparency and integrity in business.

We monitor and take action to promote the quality of corporate reporting and operate independent enforcement arrangements for accountants and actuaries. Further information about the role of the FRC can be found at www.frc.org.uk.

The Audit Firm Monitoring and Supervisory approach (AFMAS) team is part of the Audit & Actuarial Regulation Division. AFMAS was developed to enhance the FRC’s response to the systemic risks to the stability of the financial markets as a result of the concentration of public interest entity audits within a small number of UK audit firms. This is a new and important element of FRC’s statutory responsibilities as the UK’s Competent Authority for audit.

The Acting AFMAS Director is seeking to appoint a personal assistant to support her and the team.

  • Extensive senior level support experience,

  • Ability to multi-task, use initiative and prioritise in order to meet deadlines and work under pressure.

The role is based in our Central London Office. The post holder should be able to work flexibly to support the team’s activities and also provide cover within the FRC as necessary.

Rewards and benefits

  • The FRC offers competitive remuneration packages, including 30 days annual leave plus ability to buy extra leave

We're a signatory to the Government's Disability Confident scheme, which means that we guarantee an interview to any disabled candidates entering under the scheme, should they meet the minimum criteria for a role.

Equal opportunities monitoring is an important means of demonstrating and implementing our commitment to promoting equality of opportunity and diversity. Completing our diversity form will assist the FRC to identify any barriers that prevent access to employment and career development for certain groups of people, and to develop solutions, such as action plans, new policies and practices.
