MAJOR EVENTS SCHEDULED FOR 2007
The CIPFA Local Authority Accounting Conference
Solihull, 15 & 16 March
The CIPFA Local Authority Accounting Conference 2007 will once again provide the premier annual focus for the most senior finance managers from local government in the UK. With its unique blend of strategic messages and practical, technically-rooted sessions, this event attracts all the key local authority financial decision-makers. No other event can rival this conference’s profile and relevance to the local government accountancy decision-makers who make up its audience.
Established in 1985, the conference has gained a reputation for being at the forefront of accounting and financial management issues for local authorities. This popular event attracts between 150 and 200 delegates, all of whom are senior finance professionals. In 2007, the Conference will once again address all the current and forthcoming issues facing local government finance teams, including the pressing agenda of on-going public service reform and how this is impacting on finance. Plus, the essential full line up of technical accounting sessions.
Taking place at The Renaissance Solihull Hotel, in Solihull on the 15 & 16 March, the conference includes a popular gala dinner, which this year will be held on 15 March in the Renaissance Solihull Hotel.
