‍We’ve developed ground-breaking technologies, built player protection frameworks, and have a proven track record of making lotteries better.  Our aim is to create one of the UK’s most inclusive organisations – where people can bring the best of themselves, to do their best work, every day, for the benefit of good causes.

While the main contribution of the National Lottery to society is through the funds to good causes, at Allwyn we put our purpose and values at the heart of everything we do.  Join us as we embark on a once-in-a-lifetime, largescale transformation journey to build a bigger, better, and safer National Lottery that delivers more money to good causes.

·       Introduce a robust balance sheet reporting and monitoring process to include random sampling, reporting of risk and opportunities and updating the existing policy

·       Create a centralised accounting policies library that all finance colleagues can access

·       Be the go-to technical expert for all IFRS accounting queries

·       Deliver regular reports and updates to senior leaders on the progress and evolution of accounting policies including any financial impacts from changes to policies or accounting estimates.

·       In relation to the above, support the commercial team by tracking and regular reporting of the impacts of adopting changes to accounting policies or estimates.

·       Overseeing the production of accounting memos and providing high level technical accounting guidance, you will also challenge and align with auditors.

·       Provide analysis and recommendations to Allwyn from an operational and reporting standard

·       Ensuring a robust control environment exists and drive continuous process improvements.

Key Measures of Success:
