All indicators can be verified, or any range of indicators can be chosen. This involves working with staff to ensure the technical guidance issued by the Regulator is understood; is being followed when submitting the ARC; can be evidenced and is properly aligned to the definitions.
Issues identified are discussed with the landlord and advice is given on how these might be addressed. A report of findings and recommendations is provided.
The work can also involve carrying out process reviews or presenting findings to governing bodies.
This is a service offered to landlords who have had their data previously verified.
The data being supplied in your ARC is reviewed to ensure it is as accurate and robust as it possibly can be. You can have the full return or parts of the return validated.
This work is normally carried out between 1st April to the 31st May each year. A comparison of year-on-year performance against key indicators can also be carried out.
This exercise is carried out remotely, with the landlord forwarding their completed ARC return to CD Consultancy, prior to submission to the regulator. The data is compared to that in previous returns and across various parts of the current return to ensure consistency.
This approach ensures the data is as robust as it can be and highlights any potential inaccuracies from the previous year or within the current return before you finalise submission to the regulator.
