Let’s be honest: Local Government Reorganisation isn’t easy. But done right, it can lead to stronger, more sustainable services for your communities. In this session, CIPFA will offer practical tools and guidance to help you navigate the financial side of reorganisation. You’ll get a first look at the new CIPFA financial template – developed to bring consistency, clarity, and confidence to your proposals. Whether you’re deep in the middle of structural change or just starting to scope the options, this session will show you how to make your financial case clearly and credibly. You’ll hear how the framework, co-designed with F3 Consultancy, supports transparency, helps uncover hidden costs and savings, and provides the evidence base central government wants to see. This session is for you if you want to drive local government reform that’s not just politically viable, but financially sound too.
