About us
The Cymru (Wales) region, formed in 2011, boasts a vibrant community of over 1,000 members, including 139 student members and 183 retired members. We are actively involved in a variety of activities throughout Wales, fostering a strong sense of community and professional development.
Our region plays a significant role in supporting public finance professionals across the country, organising a programme of events, awards, training programmes and qualifications. We host an annual conference to network, share best practice, and stay updated on the latest developments in public finance. We’re also currently developing a CIPFA student network for the region.
Overall, the Cymru (Wales) region’s involvement with CIPFA ensures that public finance professionals in Wales have access to essential resources, training and a supportive community - enhancing their professional growth and contributing to the public sector’s efficiency and effectiveness.
And finally, a reminder 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.
