HCA May Not Publish Full Judgements

The HCA is considering publishing slimmed down versions of regulatory judgements in a bid to save resources.  Since it took over the economic regulation of social landlords in April, the HCA has not published a single assessment of individual landlords’ governance and viability.  Regulatory judgements were previously published each month by the now-defunct TSA so the sector could understand the regulator’s position on issues. However, the new regulator has not published judgements because it is still training its staff on the new regulatory framework which was published in May. A source familiar with the situation said training people to draw up the new judgements has been more ‘resource-intensive’ than expected. As a result, the HCA is considering not publishing full judgements where associations are performing well.  Read more on Inside Housing.
