A CPA Cooperativa de Producci n Agropecuaria , or Agricultural Production Cooperative , is a type of agricultural cooperative that exists in Cuba today. History of CPAs Agricultural cooperatives similar to CPAs were experimented with in the first few years following the Cuban Revolution . Between 1977 and 1983, farmers began to collectivize into CPAs. This was done for a variety of reasons. The state offered various incentives to farmers willing to join a CPA. For example, farmers would sell their land to the state, receiving payments for a period of 20 years while also sharing in the fruits of the CPA. Also, joining a CPA allowed individuals who were previously dispersed throughout the countryside to move to a centralized location with increased access to electricity, medical care, housing, and schools. Currently Cuban farming has moved to a more autonomous system, Autoconsumo which meant that Farms would set aside land for provisioning their own workers. http www.foodfirst.org pubs devreps dr14.html Another important change was that foodstuff are no longer delivered by farms to the central marketing agency, but directly to a market for direct distribution, much like voluntary capitalist cooperatives. In this sense state control has yielded to autonomy for the farm. Autonomy of CPAs CPAs are operated at a greater level of autonomy from the state than a UBPC or a state farm. Autonomy is limited by centralized economic planning as well as state control over the input market and output market. Worker Participation of CPAs CPAs allow for democracy within the workplace. Citation needed date February 2007 Democractic practice tends to be limited to business decisions and is constrained by the centralized economic planning of the Cuban system.

In the UK the Comprehensive Performance Assessment CPA , conducted by the Audit Commission , assessed the performance of every local authority and the services that they provide for local people. The Audit Commission first introduced CPA in 2002. It evolved in response to changes in the operational and regulatory environment, rising public expectations, and the performance of local government itself . CPA measured how well councils delivered services for local people and communities. It looked at performance from a range of perspectives and combined a set of judgements to provide both a simply understood rating and a more complete picture of where to focus activity to secure improvement. CPA was replaced by the Comprehensive Area Assessment in April 2009. http www.audit commission.gov.uk cpa cpatransition.asp Note CPA should not be confused with the Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports, or CAFR a practice started after World War II in the United States replacing off the books practices such as general fixed asset account group A CAFR is one of several standard Government financial reports.
