Volunteer Opportunity – PSAB’s Cloud Computing Task Force

October 22, 2024 News, Volunteer Opportunity

PSAB’s Cloud Computing Task Force will provide expert advice to facilitate the development of accounting guidance for cloud computing arrangements in the public sector.

We are seeking members with a range of backgrounds, including those with experience working for governments, government organizations, and accounting firms, as well as those who are legislative auditors with experience in cloud computing arrangements (CCAs).

Responsibilities of the Task Force

  • Identifying and resolving potential issues specific to accounting for CCAs (including those that may be unique to the public sector).  
  • Reviewing and providing recommendations:
    • on proposals for the development of accounting guidance for CCAs;  
    • on what constitutes useful financial statement information when reporting on accounting for CCAs; and 
    • on issues expressed in feedback from PSAB and interested and affected parties.  

What’s in it for you

  • Be in the know – stay connected to the latest developments in accounting for CCAs.
  • Gain new perspectives – broaden your understanding of how standard setting works in the Canadian public sector. Explore different perspectives on accounting for CCAs.
  • Give back to your profession – share your in-depth knowledge and experience.
  • Expand your network – form connections with other leading industry experts.

Other considerations

  • Members are expected to:
    • be familiar with CCAs and the challenges that the application of accounting guidance may create for public sector entities; and  
    • provide input on the implications of proposed solutions. 
  • The Task Force will meet in private. 
  • Meetings may include a mix of in-person and virtual meetings. 
  • Travel costs of members, along with other costs specific to attending the meetings, will be reimbursed in accordance with our travel policies for volunteers. 

We value diversity and are committed to cultivating an inclusive, accessible environment where our volunteer base feels respected, valued, and supported and is reflective of the Canadians we serve.
