The CIPFA/LASAAC Local Authority SORP Board, formerly known as the CIPFA/LASAAC Joint Committee, is established as 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.
As part of this work, the Board shares the Accounting Standards Board’s aim of advancing and maintaining standards of financial reporting in the public interest and has been recognised by the ASB for the purpose of issuing SORPs. As a condition of recognition, the CIPFA-LASAAC Board has agreed to follow the ASB’s Code of Practice on the Development of SORPs.
