Assurance Statement

In order to arrive at the following assumptions, our board was involved in the review of the Association’s Assurance Report. The purpose of this report was to provide the board with a full assessment of all regulatory requirements and to act as a prompt for members in relation to the continuous evidence provided during regular meetings.  This report was based on the SFHA toolkit which we evolved to include evidence mapping and a scoring matrix and to allow the board to fully assess compliance against all elements  of the Regulatory Framework and the outcomes of the Scottish Social Housing Charter.
