To secure the financial continuity on the short and medium term it is important that the financial goals of the housing association and the financial conditions of the supervisors, are met. The financial risks should also be monitored.WALS supports financial management. In this projection model for housing associations, cash flows and the valuation of assets and liabilities are simulated. This makes it possible to gain insight into housing association-wide financial indicators such as solvability, ICR, DSCR and Loan-to-Value. WALS supports various real estate valuation methods and the market value calculation aligns exactly to those of IPD and TMS.
Financial management is an important part of the integral financial and real estate platform. Here the tactical choices made in asset management, property development, treasury management and taxation management converge are tested against the strategic (portfolio) management framework.
