In 2010, CIPFA published the Statement on the Role of the Chief Financial Officer CFO in Local Government which described the role and responsibilities of CFOs in local government. This in turn drew heavily on CIPFA’s 2009 Statement on the Role of the CFO in Public Service Organisations.
The Statement on the role of the CFO in Local Government aims to advise on how to apply the overarching public services statement within local government. This supplement to that statement aims to place that advice in the context of the financial administration of the Local Government Pension Scheme and should be used in conjunction with the Statement on the role of the CFO in Local Government.
