New Technical Director for EFRAG
18 Mar, 2014
The European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) has announced that Patricia McBride will follow Pieter Dekker as Technical Director, effective end of April 2014.
Patricia McBride, who is a citizen of both the UK and Australia, has previously held technical roles supporting the standard-setters in Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong on IFRS issues. Part of her career was also spent in academia. She will succeed Pieter Dekker who will leave EFRAG in early April, after four years with the organisation.
The current reform of EFRAG's governance and mandate as result of the Maystadt review will probably also lead to enhanced responsibilities of EFRAG's Technical Director.
