The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) is an independent statutory authority established by the Australian Government to maintain an impartial and independent electoral system for eligible voters through active electoral roll management, efficient delivery of polling services, and targeted education and public awareness programs.

**The AEC’s values and commitments**

The AEC values and commitments are an essential component of our operating environment and frame how AEC staff work. The AEC's focus is on electoral integrity through the values of quality, agility and professionalism.

**The Team**

The Disclosure and Compliance section sits within the Enabling and Regulation Division of the AEC. We support the AEC through planned coordination of compliance reviews and investigations related to financial disclosures, ensuring high quality outputs that withstand external scrutiny.

The broader team is responsible for the management of financial returns of political parties, political actors, others with disclosure obligations, and all work associated with achieving accurate and timely lodgement including liaising with stakeholders, following up on non-lodgement and managing requests for amendments to disclosure returns.

- Performing compliance reviews on financial disclosure returns submitted by political parties and others with disclosure obligations to ensure their accuracy,
- Conducting investigations where contraventions of the Electoral Act are suspected and taking appropriate enforcement action as required,
- Provision of education and advice to those with disclosure obligations to facilitate compliance, and

The AEC is seeking a collaborative, self-motivated and results driven Compliance Officer to join the Disclosure and Compliance Team.

As a Compliance Officer you will:

- undertake reviews of financial disclosure returns of various actors in the political system.
- assist with claims for election funding following an electoral event and other investigations as required to assess compliance with Part XX of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, and

This is an exciting opportunity to explore your potential or gain further skills in compliance matters.

To excel you’ll have:

- Experience in conducting financial audits with good organisational skills and a demonstrated ability to undertake tasks methodically and accurately,
- Experience in analysing moderately complex information providing timely and accurate advice and support,
- Proven ability to communicate and collaborate effectively within a team, with other business areas and external stakeholders at all levels of seniority,
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, along with high attention to detail and problem-solving abilities,
- A strong commitment to working harmoniously within a team to achieve positive results and support AEC’s strategic direction.

Relevant tertiary qualifications in accounting, solid knowledge of financial procedures, and experience in a regulatory environment are desirable, but not essential.

**Eligibility**
- AEC employees must be Australian citizens.
- Any person who is, and seen to be active in political affairs, and intends to publicly carry on this activity, may compromise the strict neutrality of the AEC and cannot be considered.
- Applicants are required to consent to, undergo, obtain and maintain a character clearance.
- Applicants are required to consent to, undergo, obtain and maintain the Baseline security clearance required for this role.
