The appointees to the board have been selected following a nomination and interview process involving the IFAC nominating committee and IPSASB leadership, overseen by the Public Interest Committee. The IFAC board approved the recommended candidates.

The news board members are:

  • Nor Yati Ahmad (Malaysia),

IPSASB chair Ian Carruthers said: “For the second year, the IPSASB will be a board comprising a majority of women for 2023. Diversity of Board membership is essential to ensure the delivery of high-quality standards that can strengthen public financial management globally. The appointment of new members from Africa and Asia will also be important to ensuring that our outputs meet the needs of an increasingly diverse group of users.”
