FAN Alert
30 April 2020
CIPFA FAN has provided this
Alert to support all finance practitioners accounting under the
2019/20 Code of Practice on Local Authority Accounting in the
United Kingdom (the Code). We hope you find it of benefit.
CIPFA Bulletin 05 - Closure of the 2019/20 Financial
Statements
The 2019/20 Year-end Bulletin has just been
published and is available to download on the CIPFA website.
Included in the bulletin
are many issues that have been raised with CIPFA and FAN directly
over recent weeks, including Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG), McCloud
and Sargeant Judgements, Going Concern, Covid-19 grants, NNDR s31
grants, impact of Covid-19 on asset measurement and impairment, and
accounting standards issued but not yet adopted. There are also
three appendices covering the updated DSG disclosure note
requirements, IFRS 16 and a useful checklist of potential COVID-19
issues for narrative reporting.
CIPFA Bulletin 04 Treasury
and Capital Management Update
CIPFA’s Treasury and
Capital Management Panel have also issued CIPFA Bulletin 04 with general guidance to
complement the Prudential and Treasury Management Codes and also
guidance in response to challenges raised by COVID-19.
We hope this update is
helpful and that you stay healthy and safe during these
unprecedented times.
Best wishes,
David, Caroline and Sandra
