Every regulatory return and RSH filing is handled accurately.
Helping Housing Associations Meet RSH Obligations
Housing associations need more than basic compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions board members, finance directors and housing association officers ask about specialist accounting.
How are housing association accounts prepared?
Accounts follow FRS 102 and the Housing SORP with additional RSH Accounting Direction requirements. They include social housing lettings segmentation, grant disclosures and value for money reporting.
How is social housing grant accounted for?
Government grants are recognised using the performance or accrual model under FRS 102. Grants fund property development and amortise over component useful lives. Treatment significantly affects balance sheet values.
What is component accounting for properties?
Housing properties are split into components such as roofs, kitchens, bathrooms and heating. Each has a separate depreciation life. Component replacements are capitalised while routine repairs are expensed.
What regulatory returns must be filed?
Providers must submit annual accounts to RSH within six months, Financial Viability Accounts returns and statistical data via NROSH+. The Governance and Financial Viability Standard sets ongoing compliance requirements.
How is rent income reported?
Rent receivable is computed net of void losses and segmented between general needs, supported housing, shared ownership and other social housing categories as required by the Accounting Direction.
Can ABM support housing associations nationwide?
Yes. ABM Chartered Accountants serves housing associations across England using secure cloud-based platforms, delivering specialist accounting to community providers, charitable associations and developing landlords.
