Before entering into such a significant transaction as a group arrangement and in some cases committing the future of the organisation, registered providers of social housing (RPs) need to gain a reasonable understanding of the other party in order to assess whether the expected benefits are likely to be realised. RPs are also well aware that an arrangement of this kind needs to be carefully planned to ensure it has the best chance of success.
How we can help
We produce a report highlighting risk areas requiring management attention. For example, we can assess independently if the planned agreements being entered into will actually add benefit to the organisation.
Using external specialists to help with this important decision is particularly appropriate where the area is complex, such as with corporate tax and VAT, or where external views can carry particular weight, for example, in validating the proposed business plan.
