Essentials of the CIPFA Infrastructure Code- Half Day
 Capital accounting has always proved to be challenging for practitioners even more so when it relates to infrastructure assets. There is going to be a programmed change to the way that these will be valued going forward from 2012\13. Instead of being valued at depreciated historic cost they will be valued at a version of current cost and this will have a profound effect on local authority balance sheets. Infrastructure assets will dwarf other entries in local authority balance sheets. This half-day course will focus on:    -An analysis of what is defined as infrastructure expenditure    -The classification of infrastructure assets    -Asset valuation methods    -Developing information to support infrastructure asset management    -Component and asset life issues
