  • ensuring that proper financial procedures and accounting practice are in place to safeguard the bureau’s resources
  • preparing financial statements for board meetings and for the annual general meeting
  • liaise with the appointed independent examiner for the annual review of accounts
  • preparing an annual budget and advising the board of its financial requirements for the year ahead

What are we looking for?
