UKEB Board Member Vacancies

26 October 2026

The UKEB is seeking two new Non-Executive Board Members to complement the skillsets of the Board. We are recruiting one member with experience as an academic and one with ‘other’ relevant experience. UKEB Board Members have an important role to play in supporting the UK long-term public good and contributing to the UKEB’s strategic direction, including the setting of its research strategy and thought leadership activity.

  • Academic: Candidates will bring a deep understanding of international accounting standards and financial reporting, and its role in supporting effective and efficient capital allocation, and will add value to the Board’s understanding of relevant empirical research as part of its robust decision-making.
  • ‘Other’ category: Candidates will bring a deep understanding and knowledge of international accounting standards and of company reporting under those standards, and also add to the breadth of Board discussions by bringing a perspective beyond its four main stakeholder groups (preparers, investors, academics and audit firm background).

The UKEB Chair, Paul Lee, said:

“International accounting standards play an important role in supporting UK economic growth and inward investment. As a UKEB Board Member you will have the opportunity to influence the UKEB’s strategy and decision-making, in its role as the UK National Standard Setter for international accounting standards, and play a key role in supporting the UK’s position as a leading financial centre.”[ZS1] [PL2]
