CIPFA's Technical Panels

CIPFA has a number of functional and sectoral panels which are responsible for the Institute's policy and technical work. These 'technical' Panels report to the Public Finance and Management Board.

The panels are generally made up of volunteers who have a particular interest and expertise in the area of work concerned. They are constituted in such a way that the members as a whole are representative of the sector(s) covered by the panel and of the interests concerned. Members of staff in the Policy and Technical Directorate provide secretarial and technical support.

Each of the Panels listed below has a dedicated website containing a variety of information and resources:

Accounting and Auditing Standards Panel

This is not a CIPFA Panel, but a standing committee of CIPFA and LASAAC for the purpose of preparing, maintaining, developing and issuing the Code of Practice on Local Authority Accounting for the United Kingdom, the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) for the sector. Its website provides further information at http://www.cipfa.org.uk/pt/cipfalasaac/index.cfm.
