Governance

At BHA we understand that good governance is vital to our success.

Our board

Our team of voluntary board members work together to direct and lead BHA and make sure that we deliver our vision of providing a great service and more affordable homes. The board meets five times a year plus an annual board strategy day.

There are two sub-committees of the board:

Audit, risk and finance committee

Chaired by Liz Curran, this committee meets four times a year and is responsible for finances, audit, and ensuring that we properly manage risk.

Remuneration committee

The Remuneration Committee meets as required. Its responsibilities are to agree and recommend for approval to the Board any decisions relating to the salary, contract or any Human Relations issues concerning the Chief Executive Officer.

Our governance framework

Our governance framework ensures accountability, transparency, compliance and public confidence in all that we do.

The framework is underpinned by a series of documents setting out the rules, requirements and standards we operate to. These include:

• the standards and requirements of the Regulator of Social Housing
• the National Housing Federation’s Model Rules, Codes of Governance and Compliance, which we have adopted, and its Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting
• the Standing Orders which set out how the Board conducts its business
• our Financial Regulations, which set out the robust financial controls and delegated financial limits we follow

Public confidence is strengthened through effective governance, accountability and transparency.
