We are a government agency that sets the framework for good accounting practices in Sweden. Currently, we have six colleagues, mainly economists and lawyers, but we are growing and will soon be eight. At our office, you will encounter a friendly atmosphere and close collaboration.

As part of the team, you will have a varied and responsible role. You will contribute to the development of good accounting practices, respond to inquiries from the public, answer consultations, and present cases to the Board. There are also opportunities for exciting assignments by participating in investigations within the committee system or assisting the Government Offices in accounting matters.

·        Updating the K2 and K3 regulations and other normative guidance primarily for non-listed companies

·        Responding to consultations from departments and authorities

To thrive in this role, we envision you as an analytical person driven by curiosity about new issues. Since we often work on projects, both internally and externally, we value someone who is unpretentious, enjoys collaborating with others, and is comfortable taking responsibility.

The role involves many contacts with those who apply our normative guidance, and we believe you will enjoy communicating and explaining things simply. You will draft texts for the website and materials for the Board, so you need to be able to write clearly and understandably about complex issues. As circumstances can change, it is beneficial if you are flexible and can weigh different interests in a neutral and factual manner. We place great importance on finding the right person to complement our team.
