Fraud matters
HIAF would like to know whether members have significantly developed how they will report instances of fraud to the Tenant Services Authority (TSA) at the end of each financial year.
The regulatory framework for social housing in England from April 2010, Governance and Financial Viability Standard contains the following provision:
2.3 Registered providers shall provide to the TSA ... an annual report on any losses from fraudulent activity.
- Are members keeping details of all frauds (not just those over £5,000!) in order to complete such returns?
- Are members keeping details of tenancy fraud cases, even though these might not result in a financial loss to the registered provider?
- Do members feel that guidance may be needed in this area?
If you have any thoughts please contact Paul McLoughlin
Members are also reminded that the TSA expects to be promptly informed of any significant frauds, such as high value cases or those involving senior staff or board members.
