PwC partner takes new financial services job

                                        A PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) partner is to take on a new financial services job at the Financial Reporting Council (FRC).

Marek Grabowski is retiring from his post at PwC at the end of the month and will start his new role as the executive director of FRC's auditing practices board (APB) from March 2010.

He is to replace Jon Grant in the top financial services job, who has held the position since 1996.

Mr Grant will continue to work for the FRC on a part-time basis.

Speaking after his appointment, Mr Grabowski said that he was excited about taking on a new challenge.

"I am looking forward to working with the APB to help shape its future strategic priorities so that it remains at the forefront of international thinking," he said.

Last month, the FRC appointed Anthony Snow as its new chief operating officer.

Mr Snow previously held the same position at the Wales Audit Office.
