Finance I – The accounting building blocks

T This is the first of three sessions that simplify financial jargon and offer a comprehensive overview of the key financial components found within housing association accounts operating in Scotland, England, and Wales to help Board Members effectively align strategic goals with financial resources.

As a Board Member, your ability to make smart decisions and handle risks depends on how well you can understand financial reports, which helps you spot and fix problems early, build trust with stakeholders, and ensure compliance with the regulatory framework.

Aimed at all Board members across the UK

In this session we will

  • Understand the basic components of housing association accounting, including the structure of income and expenditure accounts and balance sheets.
  • Gain insight into your organisation’s financial landscape by exploring income streams, operational costs, assets, and liabilities.

By the end of this session, as a  Board Member, you will be better equipped to navigate financial reports and communicate effectively.
