Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy

Bye-law 5/6 Oversight Panel

Contact: Barry Mather

The Panel is responsible for the 2006-10 Development Strategy initiative aimed at bringing into the CIPFA family senior public sector figures who are qualified with other accountancy bodies. The panel takes recommendations from Institute members, considers whether the individuals warrant an invitation to apply for membership, considers application forms received and take up references, only when satisfied recommending the applicants to MSDB, which in turn decides whether to recommend membership to the Institute Council. The Panel oversees the whole process and ensures that the guidelines set by Council are adhered to.
