I am completely committed to meeting these demands—to working with the boards and committees, IFAC member bodies, and IFAC’s exceptional management team and staff to deliver on all of the priorities contained in the strategic plan.” Mr. Allen has served on the IFAC Board for six years. He was elected deputy president in 2010, and served as chair of the Planning and Finance Committee, which leads the development of IFAC’s strategic plan. He is executive director and recently retired partner of Ernst & Young New Zealand and is a past president and Life Member of the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants.

In addition, I am personally very gratified that we have appointed the first female deputy president of IFAC.” New Board Members Elected The IFAC Council meeting also included the election of six new members to the IFAC Board: Carol Bellringer (Canada), Norunn Byrkjeland(Norway), Dr. Yugui Chen (China), Pamela Monroe Ellis (Jamaica), Dr. In-Ki Joo (South Korea), and Russell Loubser (South Africa).
