The regulator’s new approach to VFM is operative now!:

• a new standard, accompanied by a comprehensive Code of Practice (COP)
• VFM performance will be measured against your own strategic VFM targets and a set of regulatory metrics reported in the accounts instead of the self-assessment

The revised approach to reporting aims to make boards more accountable for VFM by requiring them to set and then achieve their targets.

There’s not much time before final accounts are signed off – associations need to quickly understand how they may comply with the new requirements.

Aim

To provide delegates with the tools and information to understand and comply with the new requirements. Coverage:

• clarity on expectations and consideration of the implications
• how the regulatory, Scorecard and Acuity SPBM metrics fit together
• reporting regulatory metrics and strategic targets in the accounts: what might it look like?
• where might VFM be going?
• challenge personal thinking through debate
• opportunity to network with peers

Format

This is an informal half-day workshop with lunch. Registration and refreshments at 9:30 am for a 10 am start. Networking lunch at 12:30 pm.

Steve Smedley has specialised in VFM since the noughties and has been running VFM workshops and projects with SPBM members since 2013.
