The EAA Management Committee has recently approved the establishment of an EAA Public Sector Accounting Committee (PSAC), aimed at strengthening the outreach role played by the association and its contribution to regulation and standard setting in the public sector.
The main objectives of the PSAC will be: (a) to facilitate and promote public sector accounting research; (b) to participate – also through ad-hoc task forces – in public consultation processes that are relevant to public sector accounting and public sector accounting standard setting (e.g. IPSASB Exposure Drafts); (c) to network with other public sector accounting research groups and communities; (d) to plan and organize online activities for discussing timely topics and stimulating the debate between academics and practitioners.
The PSAC will be composed by a Chair and 3-4 Members. In line with the EAA governance guidelines , the Chair and the Members will be appointed for a 3-year term, renewable once.
With this call, the EAA is soliciting applications for the posts of PSAC Chair and Members.
The ideal candidates are scholars with a rich track record in public sector accounting research as evidenced by relevant publications in prestigious outlets, involvement in public sector academic groups and networks, knowledge of the public sector accounting standard setting process and willingness to promote the goals of the Committee. Proven leadership and network skills are particularly valued for the role of Chair. A suitable candidate is also expected to work collegially with other EAA committees. All members of the Committee should be current EAA members.
Please, submit your application via email to Baha Diyarov (baha.dyarov@eiasm.be) including (1) your updated CV (2) a motivation letter indicating whether you are applying for the position of Chair and/or Member of the PSAC and containing a brief explanation of why you consider yourself qualified for the position.
The deadline to submit your application is September 15, 2023. In keeping with the EAA’s Governance Guidelines, this call for applications is the first stage in the selection process. Following a review of the applications, the EAA Management Committee will first appoint the Chair and then – in collaboration with the latter – select and appoint the members of the committee.
Following up on the DEI survey run last year, the EAA has recently approved the establishment of a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee (DEIC), aimed at supporting the Management Committee in fostering and promoting diversity, equity and inclusion within the Association and its activities.
The main tasks of the DEIC will be to: (a) support the Management Committee (MC) in promoting and executing DEI-related activities; (b) inform the MC of DEI best-practices and make recommendations; (c) take care of the DEI space and repository on the EAA website; (d) Support the MC in developing DEI guidelines; (e) promote and host DEI-related activities; (f) establish a communication channel with members on DEI-related matters.
The DEIC will be composed of a Chair and 5-9 members. In line with the EAA governance guidelines (https://eaa-online.org/app/uploads/2021/12/CG-5-Nov-2021.pdf), the Chair and the Members will be appointed for a 3-year term, renewable once.
With this call, the EAA is soliciting applications for the posts of DEIC Chair and Members.
The composition of the Committee should reflect – as far as possible – the diversity of the EAA community, for example in terms of (but not limited to) gender, ability, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and geographical affiliation. The committee should also reflect a diverse range of research perspectives.
Prior expertise in terms of DEI-related activities will be valued but not required. Proven leadership, network and interpersonal skills are particularly valued for the role of Chair. A suitable candidate is also expected to work collegially within the DEIC and with other EAA committees. All members of the Committee should be current EAA members.
Please submit your application via email to Baha Diyarov (baha.dyarov@eiasm.be) including (1) your updated CV (2) a motivation letter indicating whether you are applying for the position of Chair and/or Member of the DEIC and containing a brief explanation of why you consider yourself qualified for the position.
The deadline to submit your application is October 1, 2023. In keeping with the EAA’s Governance Guidelines, this call for applications is the first stage in the selection process. Following a review of the applications, the EAA Management Committee will first appoint the Chair and then – in collaboration with the latter – select and appoint the members of the committee.
