Job description
IFRS 17 Technical Accounting Expert- (Inside IR35)
Contract Term: Initial 6 months – potential to extend to 2 years
Contracting Authority: UK Export Finance
Location: Hybrid – Candidate will be required to work from London Office – 2 Days per week
When it comes to exporting, having a great product or service is only half the story. Putting the right finance and insurance in place can make the difference, helping you to win contracts, fulfil orders and get paid.
UK Export Finance is the UK government’s export credit agency. We support exports for any size company and across all industries, from capital goods to services and intangibles like intellectual property. Our mission is to advance prosperity by ensuring no viable UK export fails for lack of finance or insurance, doing that sustainably and at no net cost to the taxpayer.
The Financial Control Division (FCD) is a friendly, dynamic, and fast-paced team working at the heart of UK Export Finance. We are responsible for ensuring that effective financial control processes are in place. We coordinate the Department’s estimates, budgets and forecasting processes. We produce accurate and reliable monthly management accounts, annual accounts, and other published financial information. We manage the UKEF bank accounts, purchase ledger, fixed asset registers and the general ledger (CODA). We advise on accounting treatments, own the UKEF accounting policies and are working with others across the organisation and beyond to implement large-scale changes in our accounting policy, systems, and processes in order to operationalise IFRS 9 and IFRS 17 for 2025-26 reporting.
It’s an exciting time to join us as we support a business that is at the heart of delivering government export and trade policy to build the UK economy back stronger. We are also in a unique period of transition as we prepare to implement IFRS 9 and IFRS 17 accounting standards that will affect how we account for nearly all our front-line business. This will also involve implementing new systems, including a new general ledger and new processes. The successful applicant will be supporting the Financial Control Division during this busy period of change.
