Welcome to the CIPFA South East region
About us
CIPFA South East is the largest of the CIPFA regions, with nearly 5,500 members and students. We have an active regional council, local hub groups and a student network that deliver a broad programme of regular events for our members and students.
We run free and low-cost events for members and students who live or work in the South East. Events are held across the region, both in central London and in local hubs including Essex, Cambridgeshire, Kent, Thames Valley and Wessex.
For anyone who may need support CIPFA's Mental Health and Wellbeing Hub is available to you and anyone in your personal or workplace networks. The hub brings together information and support on a wide range of topics. Access is free of charge, anonymous and there's no need to register.

She is proud to build on the legacies of our previous Presidents and keen to support all members in the Region to build their network amongst the wide and diverse community of CIPFA members.
