I am a Forensic Accountant within the Public Sector. I got involved within the panel as I am proud to be an ACCA qualified accountant and wanted to feed into the future of my profession. 

Joining the panel, of which I am now Chairman, has enabled me to be a part of shaping the profession going forward and ensuring that we remain relevant and current for those members who work in the Public Sector as a whole. It also enables me to meet fellow Public Sector accountants and other ACCA members who are panel members, including members across the globe.

I started off observing at the Public Sector Panel meetings for many years, and then joined the Panel in 2016. I joined to contribute to ACCA’s impact on the Public sector, and in particular the not-for-profit part. Having worked in the charitable sector, I help the ACCA develop further ideas, strategies and knowledge base which will enhance the skills and professionalism of ACCA members in the public sector, and the not-for-profit part of the corporate sector.

The involvement with the Panel has definitely improved my insight and belief in the impact ACCA can have on the professional accountancy sector.

I have worked in the not for profit sector for several years, contributing to an area that helps the more vulnerable in society live independently and build communities.  I was keen to be involved in the panel as I wanted to be more involved with my professional body.  I want to help shape what ACCA provide for people in the public sector but also be part of a collective that helps ACCA highlight a brilliant qualification, become more prevalent in the sector and be the qualification of choice.
