What Does Paul Do in the IFSCC? A Short Explanation
The IFSCC is a ‘Federation’ of 48 national cosmetic societies around the world, representing over 16,000 cosmetic scientists. My job, as UK representative on the Presidium (the leadership team), is to act as Treasurer. While the IFSCC is a not-for-profit organization based in Switzerland, just like any other company or organization, it needs tight financial management and has both legal and tax obligations.
