Organizational Context and Scope The Department of Financial and Administrative Management (DFAM), under the leadership of the Comptroller/Director of DFAM, sets and oversees the Organization’s financial and administrative management standards and safeguards institutional resources through robust controls. The Department plays a strategic role in supporting organizational performance and resilience in an increasingly complex operational and financing environment, while continuously strengthening financial and administrative systems, controls, and processes to ensure they remain fit for purpose and aligned with the Organization’s mandate and strategic objectives. The Manila Institutional Financial Services (MIFS) is established as a DFAM relocated institutional function, providing support to global financial oversight, monitoring, quality assurance functions. MIFS operates under DFAM governance and supports Regional Offices and Country Offices through institutional controls, analysis, and escalation mechanisms rather than day to day transaction processing. MIFS also oversees the work of the delocalized DFAM functions in Panama (Panama Institutional Financial Services (PIFS)) in order to ensure consistency and coherency. The Head of Manila Institutional Financial Services provides strategic leadership and managerial oversight for DFAM’s institutional finance functions relocated to Manila and Panama, ensuring consistent application of financial rules, strengthened internal controls, global monitoring, and risk based oversight in line with DFAM policies and the Manila Global Shared Services Centre (GSSC) operating model. Under the overall management of the Comptroller, Director of DFAM and the direct supervision of the Chief of Global Accounting, the role ensures that institutional finance oversight remains clearly separated from transactional GSSC and mission integrated local services, while supporting DFAM’s objective to enhance global compliance, transparency, and risk management.
