Guide for Finance Committee Members in Further and Higher Education
This publication provides a hugely practical source of guidance and advice for finance committee members in further and higher education. It will also be immensely valuable to other governing body members who retain some financial responsibilities and to other interested parties. It describes finance committee members’ roles and responsibilities in detail and provides the context in which such committees operate.

Partnerships and Other Alliances: Case Studies from the Further and Higher Education Sectors (2007)
CIPFA's Further and Higher Education Panel believes that the sectors' institutions could benefit from sharing the experiences of successful partnerships that also highlight issues to be aware of, including potential pitfalls and risks. Accordingly, the Panel has developed this publication. It delivers in-depth descriptions of four very different partnerships and alliances in place in four very different institutions. It also contains an introductory section which develops key themes and provides guidance and advice for institutions that are considering entering into partnerships or alliances.
Handbook
for Audit Committee Members in Further and Higher Education (Fully Revised
Second Edition) (2005)This Guide updates the hugely popular 1996 publication. It provides a practical source of guidance and advice for audit committee members and the executive in further and higher education. It will also be valuable to other board members who retain some key audit responsibilities and for other interested parties.
It describes audit committee members' roles and responsibilities; the role of internal and external audit; and the responsibility of management to review critically the institution's control environment. This edition includes brand new sections on corporate governance and risk management. There is also greater emphasis throughout on 'questions to ask' and the good practice checklist in the appendices will help audit committee members to assess the effectiveness of their own audit committee. This will also form a useful basis for any future actions.
Further Education Finance (Fully Revised Second Edition) (2004)
This publication is a major update of the previous 1995 guide, which reflects the significant change in further education finance since that time, particularly with the formation of the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) in April 2001. It provides a thorough briefing on the financial structures and funding systems which underpin the further education sector and the regulatory framework in which institutions must operate.
The revised edition includes the following new chapters:
- Accommodation strategies and capital expenditure
- Corporate Governance and Risk Management
- Franchising

The Role of the Director of Finance in Higher Education (2002)
The purpose of this guide is to consider the role of the director of finance in a modern higher education institution. CIPFA and BUFDG acknowledge that there are different types of administrative structures within higher education institutions and that the individual responsible for financial strategy and stewardship may have other duties, such as oversight of IT. This guide relates to the finance role only. It describes how the director of finance can maximise his or her contribution to the operation of the institution. This guide clarifies the role which BUFDG and CIPFA believe all directors of finance should undertake and their position within an institution's structure.
