MAJOR EVENTS SCHEDULED FOR 2006
The CIPFA Local Authority Accounting Conference
– 16 & 17 March 2006 – Grand Hotel, Brighton
In 2006, the programme will take the opportunity to reflect
on what the future of local government finance holds for local
authority teams. One year into the record third Labour term
of office, how will local government funding develop? What
will be the impact of the changing inspection policies? And
how will efficiencies and organisational change affect each
authority? An audience of about 180 chief accountants and
other senior finance professionals is expected. The Conference
Dinner takes place on the evening of Thursday 16 March at
the Grand Hotel, Brighton.
The CIPFA Audit Conference – 26-28 April 2006
– Stratford-upon-Avon Holiday Inn
This conference, certainly the leading event for public
sector audit, is always a must-attend date in the audit community.
In 2006, the CIPFA Audit Panel intends that the conference
will be bigger and better than ever before, featuring a very
high-profile range of speakers and addressing the most topical
issues of the day. The theme of the 2006 conference is ‘One
Vision, Many Perspectives’. It will seek to reflect
the very diverse landscape of public sector audit as a whole,
whilst at the same time, draw together the many things that
unite auditors, learn lessons from other areas, and together,
deliver a public sector audit service that is the envy of
the world. This popular event regularly attracts around 150
heads of audit from the public sector and other senior finance
professionals.
The CIPFA Capital Conference – 7 June 2006
– Radisson SAS Portman Hotel, London
Taking place on 7 June, in London, this one-day conference
is the major event for capital finance managers in local government.
Building upon CIPFA’s work over recent years to establish
the Prudential Code for Capital Finance, and aimed at those
team members who have responsibility for capital accounting
and capital finance strategies in local government, the day
will draw together leading experts and practitioners. It will
cover ODPM issues, current capital accounting, treasury and
investment management, and uses of the capital freedoms. Over
130 delegates have already pre-registered and an audience
of 200+ is expected on the day.
The CIPFA Social Services Finance Conference –
6 & 7 July 2006 – De Vere Grand Harbour Hotel, Southampton
This is the year in which social care finance teams will
be expected to have resolved many of the outstanding issues
around the ‘split’ between the provision of services
for children and for adults, and in which our political masters
will expect new structures to have evolved and new processes
to be operating with well-oiled precision. This, however,
is the conference that looks beyond the policy spin and which
looks at what is really happening, what the real problems
and solutions are, and how, in real life, you are making it
work. Aimed at both ‘sides’ of the social care
provision model, we anticipate an attendance in excess of
previous years (120+).
The CIPFA Central Government Finance Conference –
3 October 2006 – London
The CIPFA Health Finance Conference – 5 &
6 October 2006 – Marriott Royal Hotel, Bristol
The CIPFA Treasury Management Conference –
October (date tbc) 2006 - London
Further details will be available shortly for the above
events. return to top

2006
This year's conference takes place on Thursday 21 and Friday

structures - finance professonals with networks in a range
of sectors. Conference sessions will take place at the Hilton
Hotel as will the conference ceilidh. The Conference Dinner
will be held at the City Chamber and there will also be a

CIPFA in Wales Annual Public Services Finance Conference
- 16 and 17 November 2006
This two day residential event will take place at the Holland
House Hotel, Cardiff on 16-17 November 2006. Building on the
success of previous events this conference promises a prestigious
line up of invited speakers to present issues of national
and strategic importance which impact on the Welsh public
sector scene. The 2005 event attracted an attendance of over
200 made up principally of senior public sector managers and
decision makers and each year the conference enables them
to focus on the big picture of public service issues.
The supporting exhibition proved exceedingly popular in 2005
to delegates and exhibitors and we are again reserving a substantial
exhibition area as well as the opportunity for involvement
in workshop sessions - an integral part of developing a comprehensive
conference programme. As is now becoming traditional, the
CIPFA in Wales Annual Dinner will feature as a key element
within the overall event when a number of distinguished guests
will be invited to join the delegates in celebration of another
successful year.
A corporate brochure will shortly be available outlining
opportunities to exhibit, host workshops and sponsor various
items to support the Conference. In the meantime, however,
if you would like to express an early interest in any of the
opportunities available to support the Conference and ensure
your company's involvement please contact either maria.jones@cipfa.org
or cynthia.godley@cipfa.org
for further details.
