PrintCSE Local Groups
CIPFA South East is a very large region both geographically and in terms of membership. Local groups therefore form an essential part of the regional network providing opportunities for members and students to meet on a convenient local basis and bringing together members with particular common interests. Local groups are supported 100% by volunteers.
Full information about local groups is available on pages 8-10 of the CSE Handbook and provides further information about the areas covered, their activities and details of their key contact names.
Except where stated otherwise, meetings are open to all members of CIPFA South East, ie members, students and Diplomates, together with members and students of AAT and other affiliates to CSE.
The following lists the active groups plus a further list detailing those local groups that have recently been identified as inactive. There are also two further specialist groups that members are welcome to join.
