Exclusive content
Access to our exclusive resources is for specific groups of students and members.
The Housing SORP 2026 is issued by the National Housing Federation, Community Housing Cymru, the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations and the Northern Ireland Federation of Housing Associations. This version was published in April 2026.

This updated Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) reflects the changes to FRS 102 resulting from the Periodic Review 2024 amendments issued by the FRC in March 2024. The provisions of this SORP are applicable for accounting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2026. Early adoption is permitted as described in Chapter 17 ‘Transition to the Housing SORP 2026’ if the accounts direction of the relevant regulator permits it.

The SORP includes the following model documents as appendices:

  • Consolidated statement of comprehensive income
  • Consolidated statement of financial position
  • Consolidated statement of changes in reserves
  • Consolidated statement of cash flows.

For more information on the SORP and links to associated guidance, consultations and model accounts, please see our page on Accounting for registered social housing providers.
