Amendments to the Treasury and Finance Specialist Regulation
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This amendment updates how the Treasury and Finance specialist track works, especially for hiring, training, exams, language proof, and appointments. It gives the ministry more flexibility to run entrance exams, tightens or clarifies eligibility and timeline rules, and adds support for disabled candidates during exams. For employers and candidates in the ministry system, the practical impact is on application methods, exam announcements, assistant-to-specialist promotion timing, and the need to hold valid foreign-language proof at key stages. Transitional rules protect candidates and assistant specialists already in the process before the new rules took effect.
