The Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) is advocating for urgent, long-term reforms to establish a robust and accountable local government finance system in England. This move aims to address the pressing issue of social care funding, ensuring a sustainable future for local authorities. With the current finance settlement, CIPFA is pushing for a more resilient and transparent system, incorporating key elements of public finance management and local government accounting. By doing so, they hope to alleviate the financial pressures on social care services, ultimately benefiting the community. Effective financial management and local government reform are crucial in this endeavour.
