The introduction of the Prudential Code has had a significant impact on local authority capital finance. It has allowed Arlingclose to extend its portfolio of services to satisfy an increasing requirement for bespoke financial advice.

This development, together with Best Value Regulations and the Audit Commission's Comprehensive Performance Assessment (CPA), has created a complex environment within which a local authority is expected to deliver better public services.

Against this backdrop, Arlingclose offers a comprehensive range of services which empower local authorities to reach their strategic goals. These services have been developed to specifically comply with the current regulatory and legislative environment, particularly the Prudential Code, and are designed to be the support local authorities need to make improved financial decisions. They embrace:

Freedom of choice
Unlike many mainstream providers, the Arlingclose philosophy is not to be tied to any specific finance or broking house. We have a demonstrably open way of doing business, which encourages well-balanced appraisal and unbiased choice of financial instrument.

Menu service
Take either the total solution or pick the modules which suit your local authority. Choose from comprehensive software solutions to help you make accurate and relevant decisions about every purchase and track progress with your own asset management system. Or, harness the flexibility and experience of our consultancy/advisory services to focus upon any area of your treasury management function.

We believe our accessible professional team and commitment to excellent service make Arlingclose a front-line candidate to partner your local authority towards success.
