København, Denmark Danish Refugee Council Full time
Country Operation Statutory Audits Advisor

Are you driven by accounting and structure and would like to work for one of the world’s largest NGOs? Do you have experience in working with financial statements and statutory audits? Then you could be the right fit to join the Finance Controlling team in DRC.

Who are we?
The Operational Finance Division (OFD), part of the Finance, Risk, IT, Supply Chain and Commercial contract (FRISC) department aims to provide qualitative and standardised financial support services to DRC operations. More specifically, you will be a member of the Finance Controlling (FC) section which focuses on accounting, monthly reporting and statutory audit, composed of 9 Finance Controllers, working together as partners to our DRC Operations in over 40 countries.

About the job

The role will consist of mapping statutory audits requirements in countries, building the framework and the necessary tools to enhance the support provided to the Country operations by HQ and the FC section, in their effort to deliver timely and qualitative statutory audits. The Statutory audit advisor will work in close collaboration with the Finance Controlling team, with colleagues from the country operations having statutory audits requirements as well as with other HQ departments, as needed.

Key responsibilities:

  • Develop and maintain a CO Statutory audits database , mapping requirements, timeline, required effort and support to deliver timely statutory audits.
  • Engage with and support COs to have a documented process and a mapping of the financial statement versus DRC/DYN chart of accounts.
  • Continue the development of the Statutory audit Guidance , with standardized (yet adaptable) annexes (CO-SA package).
  • Engage with and support COs (as needed) with the delivery of statutory audits.
  • Build Capacity (through trainings) of the Finance controlling team members and targeted COs (potential 2 – 3 trips).
  • Explore DRC ERP potential to produce reports which can assist COs in producing their financial statements.

About you

To be successful in this role we expect you to be a proactive and detail-oriented professional with a passion for finance and delivering qualitative and timely report, and who can work autonomously in a day-to-day aspect. Moreover, we also expect the following:

  • Solid background in financial management, ideally within an INGO or an international organization.
  • Experience with producing financial statements and working with auditors to answer their queries.
  • Proficiency in ERP systems and a good understanding of their architecture and financial data.
  • Strong analytical skills, with the ability to provide thoughtful insights and contribute to financial decision-making.
  • Fluent in English. French speaking skills will be considered a strong advantage while speaking Spanish or Arabic will be an added value.
  • Excellent communication, relationship-building, and networking skills.
  • University degree or equivalent in a relevant area such as finance, business management, or accounting.
  • Ability to travel to DRC country operations (2-3 weeks within the 12 months).

We offer

Workplace: Borgergade 10, Copenhagen, Denmark. Danish Refugee Council’s headquarters in Copenhagen will move to Lyngbyvej 100, 2100 Østerbro, just by Ryparken station, in the fall of 2025. Other DRC offices may be considered but will be subject to further discussions. Please indicate in your cover letter if you are not willing to relocate to Denmark and note which DRC country operation you would be able to work from.

Working hours: 37 hours per week including lunch break.

Start date: 1 April 2025 or as soon as possible.

The position is temporary as the position is currently funded for 12 months.

Salary and conditions will be in accordance with the agreement between DRC and AC (agreement for Academics) or other relevant agreement. This is a national position for which local terms and conditions apply.

Application process

All applicants must upload a cover letter and an updated CV in English. Applications sent by email will not be considered.

Closing date for applications: 9 February 2025. We expect to conduct the interviews shortly after.
