There is very little known about Home Owners Associations, even more so because there is no one specific Act governing the conduct of a Home Owners Association. Do you know your rights and responsibilities as trustee / director / home owner of a Home Owners Association? What are the audit requirements? Can a Home Owners Association outsource the account record keeping function to a firm? Are levies compulsory? Join us as we look at the basics of Home Owners Associations, specifically what legislation is at play; what your responsibilties are as a trustee / director over an Association; if you have any rights as a home owner; if there is a need for audit and what the accounting requirements are.

The objective of this course is to: 1. Build a solid base for understanding the fundamental workings of a Home-Owners Association 2. Gain familiarity with any legislation applicable to Home Owners Associations 3. Understanding a Home Owners Association’s responsibility for financial record keeping / accounting and audit
