In this role, he will support the finance department in ensuring the accuracy, completeness and timely processing of accounts payable and related activities, including USDA Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS)–funded expenses, while assisting with compliance, documentation and internal control requirements across these processes.
Lashkary holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration with a concentration in accounting from Rana University in Afghanistan and most recently worked at Conservation International as senior finance and operation coordinator.
“Farhad comes to the Council with significant experience working in international arenas, including managing programs and tracking multiple sources of funding. This equips him well for helping organize the Council’s accounting department and we’re excited to have him on board,” said Addis Tilahun, USGBC director of finance.
