What is the difference between CIPFA and other accountancy institutes?
CIPFA is the leading commentator on managing and accounting for public money. With an active involvement in local government development and current affairs, CIPFA’s top-class policy and technical output has positioned the institute as the voice of authority on public finance, accountancy and audit. The CIPFA qualification equips students with the specific financial management skills required in the public sector as well as a respected accountancy qualification which gives the opportunity to move between the public and private sectors. CIPFA is also the only institute among the Consultative Committee of Accountancy Bodies (CCAB) to hold a standard for excellence in its student services.
