Lunchtime Events
The CIPFA Programme of Lunchtime Events was developed in 2001 in response to demands from members and non-members for top-level and regular briefings on topical issues affecting public services in Northern Ireland. The events usually attract 40-70 delegates, both CIPFA members and other senior executives who have a professional interest in the topic.
The 2011 Lunchtime Event Series includes:

Best Practice Procurement Update Florence Gregg will give a update on latest practical and legal developments in public sector procurement. This session will be based on her experience of working with both contracting authorities developing and awarding contracts and private sector companies who are bidding to win public sector work. Florence has over 25 years' procurement experience gained in the Northern Ireland Health Service and Higher Education sectors. She was Head of Purchasing at Queen's University Belfast from January 1998 to May 2004, where she managed change, implemented e-procurement solutions and developed a proactive, supportive procurement function working with the institution's decentralised part-time buyers. Since then, Florence has worked as a procurement consultant specialising in performance and efficiency measurement; competitive tendering guidance to both buyers and suppliers; the development and implementation of procurement strategies, policies and procedures; and the development and delivery of procurement related training.

Through convergence with US GAAP and the UK Accounting Standards Board considering its own future, accounting standards development has rarely been as busy as it is now.

Alan will also outline the timetable for adoption of these proposals and consider the impact on Public Sector Financial Reporting.
