What is Manager Accounting?

The Manager Accounting is responsible for overseeing the integrity, accuracy, and timeliness of the company’s financial reporting in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and applicable local laws (e.g., Companies Act, 2017). This role ensures effective financial control, statutory compliance, and alignment of accounting practices with group-level requirements.

In a tower-sharing environment, the Manager Accounting plays a key role in complex areas such as lease accounting (IFRS 16), intercompany reconciliations, consolidation support, deferred tax computation, and Expected Credit Loss (ECL) modelling under IFRS 9. The position also serves as a liaison with statutory auditors, ensuring audit readiness and strong governance over financial reporting processes.

What does Manager Accounting do?

• Review statutory financial statements in compliance with IFRSs and the Companies Act, 2017. Oversee accuracy, completeness, and timely submission to relevant stakeholders (e.g., SECP, Board of Directors). Collaborate with external auditors and internal teams to finalize disclosures.
• Serve as the primary liaison for statutory audits, managing the audit timeline, deliverables, and resolution of queries. Ensure timely audit closure with minimal audit adjustments.
• Compute and record deferred tax assets and liabilities, ensuring appropriate justifications and supporting schedules in line with applicable accounting standards and relevant tax laws.
• Lead the computation and documentation of Expected Credit Loss (ECL) models under IFRS 9 for trade receivables and other financial assets, in coordination with data teams to validate aging reports, recovery patterns, and macroeconomic overlays.
• Oversee lease accounting under IFRS 16, including maintenance of lease registers and periodic reassessment of Right-of-Use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities using ERP/accounting systems.
• Manage intercompany reconciliations and reporting, ensuring accurate and timely matching of balances and transactions across group entities. Support monthly/quarterly closing processes through preparation of intercompany reporting packs.
• Develop and maintain accounting policies and SOPs, identify process gaps, and strengthen internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR).
• Support group consolidation under IFRS 10 by providing accurate financial information and ensuring alignment of accounting treatments and reporting formats with the parent/group company.
• Provide technical accounting guidance for complex or non-routine transactions in accordance with IFRSs. Prepare accounting position papers and consult with external advisors/auditors as needed. Monitor updates to IFRSs and assess their impact on financial reporting.
