CIPFA Code of Practice

The CIPFA Code of Practice is a set of guidelines for the management of local government finances in the UK. It helps local authorities ensure their financial planning, reporting, and control are transparent, responsible, and aligned with legal and ethical standards. By following these practices, authorities can maintain financial health, deliver public services efficiently, and gain public trust through sound and accountable financial management. The code promotes consistency and good governance across all local government bodies, supporting their ability to make informed decisions and manage taxpayers' money effectively.
