This is a fantastic opportunity to join a subsidiary of one of the world’s largest telecommunications companies. The IFRS 16 Programme team are responsible for implementing a new accounting standard which sets out requirements for lease accounting, which recognises leases as assets (right of use) in the balance sheet and the associated liability for payments. This is fundamentally new to all 24 of Vodafone’s operating subsidiaries. The project is expected to result in significant changes to existing processes around the UK Business ref. identification and classification of leases, monitoring of the lease and data process flows.
