A NATIONAL
AGENCY
WORKING
LOCALLY
Changes to the
Regulatory Framework-
Asset Management
Asset Management Club
Hertfordshire- April 2015
Roger De La Mare
Assistant Director Regulatory
Operations
The social housing regulator
Regulatory Framework: why?
Changes to respond to greater complexity and increased
risk profile of the sector
Fundamental to ensuring sector can continue to attract
private finance needed to deliver new housing supply
In a more complex environment boards need to more
actively manage risk
Revised G&FV Standard sets out requirements on how
should do this – what a well run business should be doing
anyway
The social housing regulator
Framework Changes
New standard now published, includes:
don’t put assets or viability at undue risk
skills and capabilities of board to match activities
active stress testing
maintain records of assets and liabilities
boards to certify compliance with Governance and
Financial Viability Standard
The social housing regulator
What should RPs be doing?
Challenge yourselves on skills and capabilities
Review existing arrangements with third parties to
ensure fit with requirements in Standard
Arrangements in place for boards to sign off
compliance with Standard (for accounting periods
ending on / after March 16)
Consider additional requirements for groups,
unregistered parents and profit making providers
as appropriate
The social housing regulator
What should RPs be doing
Robust stress testing:
– Includes a range of different scenarios
– Number of different stress tests should be run
– Test what breaks the business – what is the plan for
this?
– Ensures appropriate mitigations are in place
Asset and liability registers
– Understand risk flows around the group
– Information should be at a sufficient level to allow
business to be priced effectively by a rescuing
organisation
The social housing regulator
Asset and liability records -
Standard requirement
Registered providers shall assess, manage and where
appropriate address risks to ensure the long term viability
of the registered provider, including ensuring that social
housing assets are protected. Registered providers shall
do so by…
(a) maintaining a thorough, accurate and up to date
record of their assets and liabilities and particularly those
liabilities that may have recourse to social housing assets
The social housing regulator
Code of Practice
“RPs should think about the position of their assets as a
whole, including whether any other entities with which
they have links, whether formal or otherwise, could impact
on their assets…”
cover the breadth of the registered provider’s activities
and identify its assets and liabilities
break down asset records by business stream, clearly
identifying social housing assets and identify where
assets are encumbered
key information and records which would be needed
should the assets transfer to new owners are readily
available at all times
The social housing regulator
Why?
“To ensure that registered providers understand their
housing assets and security position and have swift
access to this information in relation to decision making
and risk management.” (Code of Practice)
Necessary for emergencies
Good practice for risk management
Supports effective asset management and financing
Stronger grasp of what is owned, what is owed, and
how they relate
The social housing regulator
Liabilities
“The kind of liabilities considered should include items
which relate directly to the social housing assets and
those which might have an impact on the business as a
whole.”
loans including borrowing
from other group
companies or related
undertakings
guarantees
leases
derivative exposures
cross default provisions
a duty or responsibility
that obligates the entity
to another
the potential for any
impairment including in
non-core activities
The social housing regulator
What we are looking for
Application, not form
Boards being assured as to the quality of their records
Accessible, usable and accurate information
Understanding of asset values, security position,
potential losses and recourse
Understanding of risk flow, potential chains of recourse,
social housing asset exposure
No prescribed format
Content will vary according to provider complexity
The social housing regulator
Changes to our operational approach
In regulating the new framework we want to:
– Gain a more strategic grasp and evidenced
understanding of both the short-term and long-term
risks in providers’ businesses
– Gain greater assurance about providers’ vulnerability
to covenant breaches and the risk to social housing
assets from non-social housing activity
– Better integrate our viability and governance work so
that we reach more rounded judgements
11
The social housing regulator
The new model – modes of operation
Quarterly Survey – provide early warning system
regarding all providers’ short term viability
Two modes of operation:
– Periodic In-Depth Assessments (IDAs)
– Annual Stability Checks:
12
The social housing regulator
IDAs and Stability Checks
IDAs: They will be bespoke for each provider and focus on:
A provider’s risk profile, exposures and the quality of its
governance to deal with those risks
Viability
Stress testing and mitigation of risks
Asset and liability registers will be looked at where we
have concerns that lead us to do so
Stability Checks: focused gap analysis to ensure that no
material changes have occurred since our last in-depth
assessment of the provider.

Improvement
Julian Ashby, chair of the HCA regulation committee said:
• The HCA is ‘raising the bar’ this year (2015). Landlords should set out plans for making better use of assets, provide cost per unit data & set clear performance targets
• ‘There is still an evident lack of understanding of the need to demonstrate value for money to a sceptical public (and in particular to tenants & government)’.
Asset Management
• Property Assets
• Land and built assets including buildings and infrastructure used regardless of tenure
• Property Asset Management
Our definition
“Defined as a structured holistic and integrating approach for aligning and managing over time service delivery requirements and the performance of assets to meet business objectives”
Why asset management?
• Ensure resources are used in the best possible way
• Maintain & improve the portfolio
• Make assets work harder
• Future needs & aspirations of board and residents including leaseholders
• They are homes!!!

Value for money
• HCA – driver
• Not just procurement
• Set out measurable plans for making better use of assets based on an understanding of costs, values and yields
• provide actual cost per unit trend data
• be specific about your performance within your peer group
• report performance vs last year’s value for money (VFM) targets
• set clear VFM performance targets for the next period
• “plan to raise the bar still higher”
Leaseholders - do not overlook
• Not just Section 20
• Reserve funds
• Lease terms
• Service charge %
• Get it right
• First Tier Tribunal (LVT)
• “Doreen's Law”
• “The awarding authority recovers service charges from 26,803 residents, across 1,306 schemes or estates. In previous years the awarding authority has substantially under-recovered service charge contributions as a result of:
•direct service chargeable costs that have not been fully recharged or recovered;the deficit between the overhead costs of administering services and the management fee charged
