Responding to COVID-19: insight, support and guidance

Welcome to the CIPFA South West region

UK map We support members across the South West of England, and have groups in Bristol, Dorset and Plymouth.

Our aim is to support Institute members and students across our region and to provide a link between CIPFA's national and local activities. We provide an exciting range of high impact, low-cost (usually free) events across the region. These events address a variety of current topics that help members and students to develop themselves both professionally and personally.

We hope to develop our activities further in the coming year, and we'll keep you up-to-date with these developments as we roll them out. Given the vast size of our region, we are particularly concentrating on collaborating and working together with likeminded groups and organisations to work with, to help find locally sourced CPD and networking opportunities. If there is anything you think we could do to help you benefit further from your membership of the Institute, then please don't hesitate to let us know.

News

CIPFA South West have now created a separate Dorset/Jurassic Coast hub for our members in the Dorset area. This was inaugurated in November 2018.

CIPFA South West has agreed a discount on the course fees for obtaining the accredited CIPFA's Finance Business Partnering Level 7 Certificate. That brings the cost down to £1,750, and ensures the course is run locally to the South West, reducing travel time and costs as well! Contact us at E: cipfasw@cipfa.org for more details and your interest, and we will be in touch.

Regional forum

A forum for CIPFA members and students in the regions to share ideas, documentation and discuss future plans.

The forum is restricted to CIPFA region members and uses the same login details as the CIPFA website. You will be asked to login if you are not already logged in to the website.

We have produced a guideline document on how to use the forum and some best practice hints and tips to help you get started.
