The role separates statutory compliance from the portfolio finance teams. They can focus on business performance, cash and portfolio priorities, while statutory deadlines and accounting judgements have a dedicated owner. The role holder is the single point of accountability for statutory accounts, statutory audits, local GAAP to IFRS conversion and the group's compliance calendar.
