NIFHA 2020 Finance Conference

Our 2020 Finance Conference is moving to a new digital platform!!

SECTOR GLOBAL ACCOUNTS

Once again our Sector Global Accounts will be a key feature of the event, with PWC’s Martin Cowie reporting on the finances of the local housing association sector for the year to March2020.
