Welcome to CIPFA Northern Ireland

UK map CIPFA Northern Ireland office and branch are here to help, whether you want to become a qualified accountant, need help with a public finance management issue, or wish to improve your skills in governance, finance and related topics.

The CIPFA Northern Ireland branch is one of the smallest in the UK with 190 CIPFA-qualified full members and 40 student members. It aims to contribute to the policies and reputation of the Institute in Northern Ireland, in particular the science of public finance and accountancy.
