Automated procedural checklists are now available to be used by Lead RSLs' appointed external auditors. These are also available for download in Microsoft Excel format from the main Capital Funding Guide page.

The main change is that it is now required that they are returned electronically to the HC Lead Auditor at the relevant field office; these forms will be uploaded to the internal Compliance Audit system to facilitate the recording of audits carried out on Partnering Programme schemes.

There are four procedural compliance checklists: 

• Right to Acquire v1.0
• Voluntary Purchase Grant v1.0
• Homebuy v2.2
• Rent, Sale, Major Repairs and Miscellaneous Works (MRMW) v2.2

The HOMEBUY v 2.2,  and RENT/SALE/MRMW v 2.2 checklists are replacing version 2.1 with immediate effect.

Version 2.1  is in appendix 4 of the Partnering Programme chapter of the current Capital Funding Guide.  This version covers Rent/Sale/MRMW and Homebuy checks; to increase usability this checklist has been split into two, one to be used for Homebuy schemes and one for Rent, Sale and MRMW schemes. The Right to Acquire and Voluntary Purchase Grant checklists are issued for the first time.
