Restatement-Avoidance and Filing Recovery Director

The mandate

The Interim Director will lead an accounting and filing initiative designed to resolve outstanding matters through timely, governed review. The assignment is explicitly outcome-neutral: if evidence supports correction, escalation or broader review, the Director must say so.

Within the first five working days, the Director will establish a protected issue register, confirm decision authority and rank matters by potential reporting consequence, pervasiveness and deadline. The interim may demand evidence, coordinate technical analysis, require correction plans and control the daily recovery cadence. The Chief Accounting Officer retains final conclusions and all filing or disclosure approvals.

Each issue will move through verified fact, accounting analysis, error evaluation, period effect, disclosure consequence, correction evidence and governance disposition. Differences of opinion will be documented, not averaged. Matters indicating misconduct, legal exposure or independent investigation need will be transferred through the designated confidential route while their accounting consequence remains tracked.

By week six, all high-priority issues must have an approved path. The next reporting event will serve as a live proof of earlier escalation, issue closure and document consistency. A nominated internal owner will then run a filing simulation containing seeded late evidence and cross-document change, demonstrating calm prioritisation and proper escalation.

The assignment excludes forensic investigation, legal representation, public communications, system replacement and permanent organisation redesign. Exit requires an accepted issue archive, error-evaluation protocol, correction trail, filing control, open-risk brief and successor assessment. A one-month extension is available only for completion of the internal-owner simulation.

What you will own

• Establish a confidential, risk-ranked issue register with facts, accounting owner, decision authority and reporting deadline.
• Direct evidence gathering and technical analysis for matters with potential error, filing or disclosure consequence.
• Require rigorous error evaluation covering current and prior periods, aggregation, qualitative factors and pervasiveness.
• Coordinate approved corrections across entries, primary statements, notes and related narrative content.
• Preserve dissent, contrary evidence and unresolved limitations in governance materials.
• Refer conduct, legal or investigative concerns through the proper route without losing accounting oversight.
• Prove filing controls through one live reporting event and a successor-led exception simulation.
• Maintain scope around accounting and filing recovery despite pressure for forensic, communications or systems work.

Candidate qualifications

• Demonstrate interim leadership of a high-stakes accounting issue and filing recovery under an immovable deadline.
• Describe an error evaluation where qualitative factors changed the significance assessment.
• Show how you coordinated corrections across entries, disclosures and narrative without introducing inconsistency.
• Evidence willingness to escalate an unwelcome conclusion and preserve dissent transparently.
• Explain a matter you transferred to formal investigation while maintaining its accounting path.
• Provide an issue-room method that kept urgency from replacing evidence and decision rights.
• Show successful successor testing through a realistic late-breaking filing scenario.

Working terms and boundaries

• The six-month assignment is five days weekly and covers issue recovery, one live event, simulation and handover.
• The Director controls cadence and evidence but the Chief Accounting Officer retains conclusions and filing approvals.
• Day rates include on-site recovery intensity; exceptional travel requires written authorisation.
• Forensic investigation, legal representation, public communication, systems and permanent organisation work are excluded.
• The only extension is a one-month cap for an incomplete successor-led filing simulation.
