ABOUT THE EVENT

Scottish Factoring Network Factoring Conference

The Scottish Factoring Network provides support for housing practitioners and social housing organisations who are involved in delivering factoring services to owners.

Now in its 2nd year the conference will provide delegates with an update on the policy and legal developments through strategic plenary sessions as well as providing pragmatic operational advice, with a selection of practical workshops.

The key topics to be discussed during the conference include:

• The Homeowners Housing Panel

• The risks of running a factoring service

• Managing owners expectations

• SFHA Factoring Guidance 2014

The event will also offer an excellent opportunity for delegates to network with others working in factoring from around the country and to get face to face expert opinion on issues surrounding factoring.

This event is a must for anyone working in housing management, housing finance, maintenance and asset management and anyone involved in factoring or organisation who are considering introducing this service.
