Financial Policy Officer

This is one of the profiles in the Administrator (AD) open competitions, though in some cases Assistant (AST) exams may have an AST3 financial policy officer or finance-related profile announced for more technical positions. Financial policy officers are required to have a relevant diploma, which is nevertheless not limited to studies in finance in a strict sense but any other subject that is closely associated with the tasks of a financial officer is also acceptable. Decision is always made by the Selection board on the admissibility of the diploma.

Those who are recruited on the basis of this profile can expect to work at the European Court of Auditors, the various Directorates General (DGs) of the European Commission dealing with financial policy, financial regulations, EU budget or anti-fraud efforts, or possibly at the European Economic and Social Committee or the Committee of the Regions.
