The
Fiscal Affairs Department (FAD) of the International Monetary Fund is
looking for a well-qualified expert to fill a Public Financial
Management (PFM) Advisor position for Myanmar. The advisor will be based
in Bangkok, Thailand. The Advisor's appointment term would be for a
period of one year, on a renewable basis, subject to satisfactory
performance.
The Advisor's tasks will be
focused on modernization of the treasury function in the Ministry of
Finance in NayPyitaw. His work program is expected to cover budget
execution, including expenditure control, treasury operations, cash
management, debt management, accounting, fiscal reporting, financial
management information systems and internal control issues. He will also
provide ongoing strategic guidance to the authorities on the overall
PFM reform process. A limited part of the Advisor's time may be devoted
to technical assistance in one of the other South-East Asian countries.
Coordination with donors and other providers of technical assistance to
Myanmar will be an important feature of the Advisor's role.
The Advisor will be part of a
small Technical Assistance Office based in Bangkok, led by an IMF
Coordinator. The Advisor will work under the general direction of the
Coordinator, while, on substantive issues, he/she will report to FAD
staff in Washington D.C. Regular travel to Myanmar and in SE Asia is to

regional PFM advisor based in Phnom Penh.
