CIPFA publishes two-year Business Plan

CIPFA has announced its two-year business plan for 2024-2026 as it sets out how it will deliver against its purpose over the coming years as it “grows, increases its impact and strengthens the support to its membership”.

CIPFA said the activity in this plan is shaped around three core pillars, which represent the breadth of its Institute. This activity will drive it to deliver its purpose and achieve its vision for public money and public services.

CIPFA said its three core pillars are:

1. ‘We will be bold and say what we think, we will speak truth to power and we will shape the debate on public services and public finance.
2. We will develop our students, our members and the global public finance community to provide the right lifelong skills, expertise and knowledge.
3. We will work with organisations to provide solutions to public finance challenges’.

Rob Whiteman, CIPFA CEO, said: “The beating heart of the Institute is its membership, and while we’re proud of our depth and breadth, central to our purpose is a membership body which supports students across our qualifications to designation and membership, and supports those members in their careers, their learning and, above all else, in achieving their own aspirations.

“This is my final business plan as CEO, and I am incredibly proud – after ten years’ collective hard work from the team – to leave CIPFA safer, stronger and on solid foundations from which to grow.”
