Five year financial projections

The Scottish Housing Regulator aims to ensure that registered social landlords (RSLs) are well governed, viable and plan for the future.

Our guidance note and policy document SHR 13 Assessing the financial viability of registered social landlords explains the rationale for collecting this information and specifies in greater detail what information is required.

The requirement for RSLs to remain financially sound and viable businesses is a key element of our Performance Standards. The following performance standards are particularly relevant:

GS4.4: ‘We identify and appraise the most important risks we face, and take a prudent approach to managing them’,

GS4.6: ‘We are a financially sound and viable business’, and

GS4.7: ‘We have a robust financial management framework in place’.

Our analysis of RSLs’ financial viability informs our annual regulatory engagement.

At the beginning of each financial year, we require the submission of Five Year Financial Projections from larger and developing RSLs.

The 2008/09 system is now available and will close at the end of June 2009.

Data can be submitted online. The online system for 2008/09 returns is available here.
