Background

This vacancy is open only for persons with citizenship of one of the OSCE participating States, excluding the sole citizenship of the Republic of Serbia.

Telephone interviews with the shortlisted candidates are planned for Wednesday 4 October 2017.

The OSCE Mission to Serbia (OSCE) and the United States Department of Justice (USDoJ) are supporting 12 Serbian government officials to prepare for and take the examination required to become Certified Fraud Examiners (CFE). The officials come from the Republic Public Prosecutor's Office, Anti-Corruption Agency, Public Procurement Office, Administration for the Prevention of Money Laundering and State Audit Institution. The officials will be divided into two groups, each group comprising 6 officials.

The CFE examinations are administered by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE), located in the United States, and are taken after study based on online courses. The estimate is that candidates for the CFE will require six to nine months of study. The OSCE is responsible for providing tutoring for participants to assist them in studying for the exam.

The OSCE Mission to Serbia therefore requires the services of an experienced expert to act as tutor of the candidates for the CFE certification to perform tutoring of 12 Serbian officials, namely to assist them in reviewing applicable course material, answering questions about that material, preparing and reviewing practice exams and providing final preparation for the examination, which would allow the Unit to better direct and focus its capacity-building support. The tutor should be available to meet with each group of participants in Belgrade two times per month for a period of 8 months.

 

Tasks and Responsibilities

More specifically, the consultant will perform the following tasks:

  • Develop a tutoring plan that covers the material for the Certificate;
  • Develop a schedule for the tutoring;
  • Conduct tutoring 4 days a month (2 groups x 2 times a month);
  • Prepare material to assist participants in understanding the online courses and monitoring their work during the study period;
  • Prepare, administer and review with participants practice examinations which cover the online material;
  • Answer questions from participants at defined times, in addition to normal tutoring hours;
  • Assess the English language capabilities of participants and provide assistance to improve those capabilities;
  • Prepare regular progress reports for the OSCE regarding the progress of the participants and noting participants who require additional assistance or more time to prepare for the examination.
