Brussels, Belgique NATO - OTAN Temps plein

**1. SUMMARY**

The Office of Financial Control (OFC) is responsible for the management and implementation of financial and budgetary control systems for several NATO entities, primarily the Civil Budget. As the custodian of Member Nations’ funds, the OFC provides reliable and value adding financial and procurement services in support of front-line Divisions, enabling them to achieve their objectives. It works to comply with International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) and other best practices, including the management of enterprise risk.

The OFC is responsible for financial operations and reporting for the: NATO-IS; NATO-wide pension funds and related funds (currently: Defined Benefit Pension Scheme, Defined Contribution Pension Scheme (DCPS) and Retirees Medical Claims Fund (RMCF)); bodies and projects located at NATO Headquarters (HQ) (currently NATO Naval Forces Sensors and Weapons Accuracy Check Site (FORACS), Munitions Safety Information Analysis Centre (MSIAC)); Extra-Budgetary and Trust Funds; and bilateral arrangements, including the Tax Reimbursement Agreement with the United States (U.S.). The NATO-IS budget includes Brussels Headquarters operations as well as NATO Satellite Offices (NASOs).

Standards applicable to NATO in the finance and procurement areas include the NATO Financial Regulations (NFRs), the NATO-IS Financial Rules and Procedures (FRPs), the IPSAS, the NATO Civilian Personnel Regulations (CPRs), and the NATO Code of Conduct. NATO IS uses COSO as the reference framework for internal control systems.

NATO (HQ) uses an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution to support the management of resources and daily staff operational activities. The scope of the solution includes financial management (budget and accounting functions), human resources management, procurement, cash management, facilities management and general support functions (e.g. asset management). Procurement Service uses also e-Procurement solution.

The Head of Procurement is the IS Procurement Service’s sourcing, contracting, and market expert. S/he identifies solutions to business needs, sourcing demands and potential opportunities. S/he is responsible for building high-quality sourcing and procurement performance and capability for more than €70 million in annual spend as part of the IS sourcing and procurement strategy.
