BAFA SITUATIONS VACANT: CDAF Executive Committee

There are several opportunities open for volunteers to work with BAFA. We accept self-nominations and nominations from friends/colleagues for posts. Please do not be too modest or wait to be asked – your interest in any of these positions would be very much welcomed. 

Committee for Departments of Accounting & Finance (CDAF)

CDAF is seeking nominations for a vacancy arising as an ordinary member of its committee. The role involves leading and promoting CDAF (and BAFA) in accordance with their aims. CDAF’s Strategic Plan focusses on three key strands of activity:

  • Support: implementing activities to facilitate (in)formal networks and scheme to provide members with career enhancing opportunities and support.
  • Influence: engaging with professional accounting and finance bodies while strengthening relationships with wider management education associations
  • Education: acting as a platform for knowledge exchange and networking and seek to convene departments of accounting and finance on emerging education issues as required.

Further, the Committee, led by the Executive officers provide due oversight of all the CDAF activities and ensures compliance with BAFA policies and external compliance such as GDPR.

All Committee members are expected to attend CDAF committee meetings and the Annual General Meeting. There are normally at least two committee meetings during the year. An ordinary member is expected to undertake roles which may include: liaising with the Accounting and Finance Professional Bodies; supporting the Treasurer in collecting members’ subscriptions; or managing the early career CDAF bursary scheme.

All Committee members are responsible for promoting and organising CDAF workshops and annual conferences and assisting in the administration of the activities of the Committee.

The committee would especially like to encourage applications from those with a finance specialism, as this is currently under-represented in current committee members.

How to Apply:

Please submit an expression of interest (maximum 500 words) outlining the following

together with your current CV:

  • Your motivation for the role
  • Relevant experience and networks
  • What you hope to bring to the position

Please send applications to Emma Elkington, the CDAF secretary, at e.elkington@westminster.ac.uk, by the closing date of 30 June 2026 at 5pm.

Note: The role will initially be co-opted until the next AGM in April 2027, where election and re-appointment would need to be confirmed by the full membership of CDAF through election.

Appointments are made under our Diversity and Inclusion Policy and are overseen by our Diversity and Inclusion Monitoring Committee.
