The Local Government Act 2000 requires councils to review their governance arrangements
and then to introduce new political structures.
The introduction of such changes raises important governance issues and can
expose an authority to risk. It is imperative that sound financial management
policies are established and adhered to. CIPFA's good practice guide to financial
regulations provides essential and practical guidance for councils grappling
with the introduction of these statutory structural changes.
Not only does this publication purvey good practice, it also provides a ready
source of advice and clarifies the financial accountabilities of individuals.
The guide has been designed to provide a strong framework, which can be readily
tailored to your authority's circumstances and structures. The publication is,
therefore, available in electronic format to assist you.
