CIPFA LASAAC Local Authority Code Board

Member vacancy

CIPFA/LASAAC is currently seeking experienced local authority finance practitioners to join the Board as new members. This is an opportunity to play a key role in shaping the Code of Practice on Local Authority Accounting in the United Kingdom and influencing how international financial reporting standards are applied in a local government context. We are particularly interested in hearing from practitioners with experience of applying the Code and a strong understanding of the practical challenges faced by councils. We are seeking representation from across the UK and welcome expressions of interest from both preparers and auditors in England and Scotland, as well as preparers in Wales and Northern Ireland.

Board members contribute to the development of local government accounting policy, supported by the CIPFA Secretariat team. This is a voluntary position, with members expected to attend around six meetings per year (mostly virtual, although the Board holds at least one face to face meeting per year). If you want to contribute your expertise at a pivotal time for local government financial reporting, and help shape reforms that will support greater transparency, usability, and resilience in the sector, we encourage you to express your interest.

To apply, please submit your CV and a brief cover letter detailing your suitability for the role to cipfalasaac@cipfa.org by Sunday 2 November 2025. For further information, contact a member of the CIPFA/LASAAC Secretariat team at cipfalasaac@cipfa.org.
