A technically strong colleague for the audit of publicly listed companies' financial statements

Would you like to contribute to ensuring the quality of the financial reporting of listed companies? Are you into both professional depth and dialogue with companies, auditors and other stakeholders? And are you passionate about working broadly within your field – both nationally and internationally? Then you now have the opportunity to challenge and develop your professional competencies as part of accounting control with the annual and interim reports of the listed companies.

We are seeking a colleague with a strong interest in and experience with accounting rules, not least IFRS, who wants to work in a strong professional environment with good colleagues, professional sparring and a great shared interest in ensuring IFRS and the Companies Act compliance. You will join a small team that is passionate about delivering quality in an informal working environment with plenty of headroom and room for humor.

Become our new colleague in accounting control – focused on professionalism and dialogue

We offer an exciting and challenging job in a team that among other things aims to ensure compliance with IFRS and the Companies Act in the listed companies through control, guidance and dialogue. You will work in a dynamic environment with an informal tone, characterized by a strong sense of responsibility for the tasks. We work independently, but close collaboration, mutual sparring, good colleagues and good humor are essential to achieving our goals.

You will be working with many professionally interesting and varied control cases. You will have the opportunity to participate in international work, just as you will have the opportunity to influence the development of the area, including the planning and execution of the control effort.

Specifically, you will work with selection, review of annual reports, execution of control with the ensuing dialogue with the companies and their auditors, guidance and information about the control, as well as coordination and sharing of knowledge across the EU. The tasks thus cover all parts of the control process from planning to execution and then to the oral and written reporting.

The team is part of the agency's area for Accounting Control and EU Audit, which also handles the control of annual reports from the other companies covered by the Companies Act as well as interpretation and guidance efforts related to the Companies Act.

Problem solving is done in close collaboration with the other colleagues in the area as well as the Danish Business Authority's other areas – especially in the auditing area.

At the Danish Business Authority we focus on professionalism and provide good opportunities for both personal and professional development. In addition, you are offered good working conditions, including flexitime, pension and a reasonable balance between work and private life. It is important to us that each employee feels the flexibility in the way work is organized and the opportunity to influence their own tasks.

Professionally strong profile with ambitions

In addition to your educational background as cand. merc. aud., state-authorized public accountant or similar, we emphasize the following:

• You have practical knowledge of IFRS and the Companies Act
• You are good at expressing yourself and able to communicate clearly – in writing as well as orally – to many different audiences, both professional experts, companies and auditors
• You can function as a professional sparring partner for less experienced colleagues
• You actively participate in professional discussions and contribute to continued development of the control
• You have an interest in AI and the possibilities this offers
• You can take independent responsibility for internal projects and follow them through
• You must be able to deliver on time, in high quality and with attention to detail – also if there is extra pace for a period
