This guide covers the current arrangements and provides insights into possible future changes at a time when political uncertainty makes future developments difficult to foresee.
Covering both revenue and capital financing, this guide provides the reader with an introduction to the technical complexities of funding each type of expenditure.

- auditing
- governance
- education
- housing
- police
- social care.
For those requiring more of an introduction to local government finance, CIPFA also produces an Introductory Guide to Local Government Finance that summarises the key information in a way that is aimed at non-finance specialists and those new to the sector.
