Your profession needs you!

Calling all students and early-career accountants – it’s time to elevate your voice and join the IFAC Young Leaders Collective.

The Young Leaders Collective was created in 2024 to help the profession learn from the perspective of early-career and aspiring accountants.

The 28 members of the Collective engage directly with IFAC on its most important initiatives, including corporate reporting, AI, accountancy body member value, and the attractiveness of the profession.

You will need to have less than five years of work experience, be comfortable sharing ideas in group settings, and be open-minded.

The minimum time commitment is 30-40 hours over the year, including attendance and prep for four virtual meetings a year.

IFAC has opened up its  2027 call for applications to identify new members for the Collective who will serve up to two one-year terms, starting January 1st, 2027. The application deadline is 8 July 2026.
