The scope of this guidance is limited to references that can be provided from factual information in a member’s possession, not additional assurance work (e.g. a form of limited scope audit procedures) that some members may be qualified to perform by virtue of their membership of bodies other than the CIOT or ATT. The purpose of this guidance is to alert members to some practical issues and risks associated with giving references, and to provide specific guidance on references requested by the leading mortgage lenders. This guidance does not consider Statements of Net Worth for consumer credit purposes under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Regulated Activities) Order 2001 (formerly the Consumer Credit (Exempt Agreements) Order), which must be signed by members of ICAEW, ICAS, ICAI, ACCA, CIMA, CIPFA or a comparable overseas professional body of accountants. CIOT and ATT members who are not also members of the above professional bodies of accountants are not permitted signatories.

Building societies have total assets of over £400 billion and, together with their subsidiaries, hold residential mortgages of over £320 billion, 23% of the total outstanding in the UK. They hold over £280 billion of retail deposits, accounting for 19% of all such deposits in the UK. 1 www.bsa.org.uk @BSABuildingSocs REINVIGORATING COMMUNITIES Contents Foreword 4 Executive summary 5 Introduction 7 The importance of communities 8 High streets & town centres 18 The changing role of branches 23 Networked society 31 Investments in the community 35 Regional employment & skills 39 The world around us 43 Conclusions 46 www.bsa.org.uk @BSABuildingSocs 2 REINVIGORATING COMMUNITIES 3 www.bsa.org.uk @BSABuildingSocs REINVIGORATING COMMUNITIES Foreword Community and social purpose are the bedrock of building societies and mutuality. The first building societies were created not by financiers or landowners, but by communities who understood that the difficulties that each person faced individually in buying a home of their own could be overcome by acting together. Today’s world would be unrecognisable to the founders of the first building societies, with technological and economic advancements, changes in consumer expectation and shifts in attitudes and public policy transforming the landscape in which we operate. But the ethos of putting customers first, personal connection and community remain central to the way building societies have continued to operate.
