All You Want to Know about Housing Association Finance 2020

March/April 2020

These sessions have now been postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic. We hope to re-arrange them later in the year. If you would like further information please contact adrian.waite@awics.co.uk

Housing Associations face significant financial challenges because of which it is now more important than ever that everyone involved in the governance, management and operations of housing associations has a working knowledge of housing association finance.

These seminars provide a solid grounding in the basics of housing association finance including:

• The financial environment in which housing associations work
• Regulatory requirements including Viability and Value for Money
• Statements of Comprehensive Income
• Statements of Financial Position
• Statements of Cash Flow
• How Development and other Capital Expenditure is financed including through grants and loans
• Managing Opportunities, Threats and Risks
• Budgeting and Budgetary Control
• Asset Management and Treasury Management
• Developments in government policy following the election of the new government in December 2019.

Housing associations are innovative in their response with many developing new sources of income including increased service charges and having ambitious new build and regeneration schemes.

Do you think that a working knowledge of housing association finance gained at our interactive seminar would put you in a position of advantage? If so, whether you are a Housing Manager, Board Member, Tenant Representative or even a member of the Finance Team; whether you are in a housing association, in a council that has partnerships with housing associations or are otherwise interested you should attend one of our seminars.

The seminars will be presented by Adrian Waite, an accountant and former Housing Association Chair, who is well known for his ability to explain complex financial issues clearly.

Delegates will gain an overview of the finances of housing associations and will keep up to date with developments. There will be opportunities for networking. The session is also accompanied by a very useful book that is designed for reference after the session entitled: “All You Want to Know about Housing Association Finance 2020”
