Social housing landlord downgraded by RSH
Summary
The Regulator of Social Housing has downgraded GreenSquareAccord Limited to G3/V3 after finding serious weaknesses in financial governance, risk management, information quality and internal controls. RSH said the landlord remains compliant with lender covenants, but its continued viability depends on significant disposals, cost reductions and transformation programmes.
Why it matters
