Funding Advisory Service

CIPFA's Funding Advisory Service supports finance professionals and senior officers in local authorities with critical, timely advice on the changing impact of grant funding and potential new grant streams and how they are likely to affect their authorities.

The FAS is changing with immediate effect to provide a more complete support package for practitioners and their councils to model and analyse resources. This includes a new budgeting modelling tool and access to a range of events and materials with industry experts.

Your advisors will provide you with timely and practical advice on all aspects of local government funding and optimal management of resources.

Subscribe to the FAS network or log in to download the latest guidance, briefings, newsletters, and more shown below. Read more details on forthcoming improvements. If you have any questions related to FAS please email adrian.blaylock@cipfa.org
