The Scottish Housing Regulator has continued its statutory intervention at Ruchazie Housing Association.
The Regulator first used its statutory powers in March 2018 to appoint a manager and four members to the governing body after it identified widespread governance and financial management weaknesses.
The Regulator took this action to protect tenants’ interests, public and private funders’ confidence and the reputation of registered social landlords.
Margaret Sharkey, Assistant Director of Regulation at the Regulator said:
“We will continue to work with Ruchazie as it implements its action plan to improve its governance and financial management so that it can comply with our Regulatory Standards. Ruchazie is making good progress in addressing its weaknesses and the appointments will support Ruchazie as it completes its action plan.”
The Regulator’s updated engagement plan sets out the details of its engagement.
