CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

As a registered charity and chartered professional body, The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport in the UK exists to advance education, promote high professional standards, and support the development of transport, logistics and supply chain practice for the public benefit.

In 2025, Trustees have continued to ensure that the Institute’s activities are aligned to those charitable objects. In doing so, we have sought not only to serve our members and learners, but to contribute to safer, more resilient and more sustainable transport and logistics systems that benefit society as a whole.

Throughout the year, we have modernised our infrastructure, strengthened professional capability and expanded our independent contribution to public policy. These developments are not ends in themselves; they are designed to maximise the Institute’s long-term charitable impact.

Advancing Education and Professional Standards

Education and the recognition of competence remain central to delivering public benefit through professional practice.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, the CILT(UK) Awarding Organisation awarded its 10,000th Transport Manager Certificate of Professional Competence. This milestone represents 10,000 qualified professionals equipped to uphold safety, regulatory compliance and operational excellence across the UK transport system. Delivered through our network of 100 Learning Partners, this programme strengthens public confidence in professional standards and supports consistent regulatory compliance nationwide.

We also conducted the first formal assessments for the Bus Service Commissioning and Operations (BSCO) Learning Programme. By formally recognising expertise in bus service commissioning and operations, we are contributing to improved service design and oversight within Local Transport Authorities. The programme achieved a 100% initiation rate for funded learners and secured a renewed contract with the Department for Transport for Training Year 2026/27 — clear evidence of sector need and public value.

Significant progress has been made in modernising our learning infrastructure. The introduction of our Learning Resource Management System, Brightspace, represents a substantial investment in quality assurance, accessibility and learner experience. Approximately 80% of provision is now hosted on the platform, with full integration planned by summer 2026 following alignment with our new website and CRM. This modernisation supports wider access to high-quality professional education.

In response to evolving industry needs, we re-launched ASCM APICS courses and introduced the CILT(UK) Level 6 Advanced Professional Diploma in Supply Chain Networks, strengthening advanced professional pathways and raising standards in critical areas of economic infrastructure.

Digital credentials have been implemented across our programmes, improving transparency and enabling employers and the public to verify professional achievement with confidence.

Supporting a Thriving Professional Community

Membership reached 10,561 during the year, reflecting improved retention and continued demand for recognised professional standards in a rapidly changing environment. A strong and engaged membership underpins our ability to deliver charitable impact through education, knowledge exchange and peer-led improvement.

Over 300 volunteers contributed their expertise to support professional networks, technical forums and events. Their contribution enhances collaboration, disseminates best practice and fosters continuous professional development across the sector.

The return of the PTRC Transport Practitioners’ Meeting in Manchester reinforced the importance of research, evidence and professional dialogue in informing better transport outcomes. Our Featured Events programme, including the inaugural Next Generation Conference, provided accessible platforms for professional learning and leadership development. Our educational impact grew to 23,807 CPD hours delivered to the profession during the year through events (109 events held) and wider educational activity.

Through the Novus programme, more than 340 students secured placements and graduate roles in September 2025 alone, strengthening the future talent pipeline. Generation Logistics, now entering its fourth year after surpassing Year 3 objectives, continues to raise awareness of career opportunities among young people — helping address long-term skills needs and supporting workforce sustainability for the benefit of the wider economy.

(A Company Limited by Guarantee)

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

An Independent and Trusted Voice

A core element of our charitable purpose is to contribute independent, evidence-based expertise to public debate and policy development. A total of 1,212,378 professionals engaged with CILT(UK) communications throughout the year.

During 2025, we expanded structured engagement with ministers and senior officials, ensuring that professional insight informed policy discussions on infrastructure investment, passenger transport reform, freight strategy, decarbonisation, skills and supply chain resilience. This sustained engagement supports better-informed public decision-making in areas that directly affect communities and businesses.

We increased our publication of policy reports, insight papers and consultation responses, translating the professional knowledge of our members into accessible, evidence-based recommendations. Our proactive media engagement ensured that public debate benefited from balanced, professionally grounded commentary across national and specialist outlets.

As a registered charity, we do not promote sectional or commercial interests. Our contribution is non-partisan and rooted in professional integrity. This independence is essential to maintaining public trust and ensuring that our work advances the public benefit.

The planned modernisation of our knowledge centre and launch of our new website in early 2026 will further improve access to professional insight, extending the reach and impact of our charitable activity.

Stewardship and Sustainability

Trustees remain mindful of our responsibility to safeguard the Institute’s assets and ensure its long-term sustainability. Investment in digital infrastructure, governance and operational resilience during 2025 has strengthened our capacity to deliver charitable objectives effectively and efficiently.

These improvements position CILT(UK) to continue advancing education, upholding standards and contributing independent expertise in the years ahead.

Looking Ahead

Transport, logistics and supply chain professionals play a critical role in enabling economic activity, supporting communities and advancing environmental objectives. By raising standards, promoting lifelong learning and contributing independent expertise, CILT(UK) seeks to ensure that the profession continues to deliver positive societal impact.

On behalf of the Board, I extend my sincere thanks to our volunteers, Learning Partners, corporate supporters and staff for their dedication and professionalism. Their collective efforts enable the Institute not only to support its members, but to fulfil its charitable purpose for the benefit of society.

Together, we will continue to strengthen professional excellence and maximise the public value of transport, logistics and supply chain practice across the United Kingdom.

DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

The Directors (who are also trustees of the Charity for the purposes of the Companies Act) present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport in the UK (the Company) for the year ended 30 September 2025. The Directors confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the Company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the Company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Effective 1 January 2019). The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 2 to the financial statements. The Directors have also had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on Public Benefit and believe this can be clearly demonstrated.

Objectives and activities

a. Policies and objectives

The Institute’s aim is to promote, encourage and coordinate the study of the science and art of transport and logistics in all its branches; to initiate, foster and maintain investigation and research into the best means and methods of and appliances for transport and logistics and the problems that are involved and their most satisfactory solution; to extend, increase and disseminate knowledge and exchange information and ideas in regard to all questions connected therewith and to assist and further, in all practicable ways, the development and improvement of transport and logistics in the best interest of the community. These charitable aims will be achieved by pursuing the strategic objectives of the Institute.

Membership is the principal source of funding for the Institute through members’ subscriptions. Activity includes the provision of region and forum events, a career development platform, mentoring and various other benefits. Learning and development includes provision of qualifications, training and development programmes, as well as access to the CILT Knowledge Centre, which provides one of the largest specialist and most comprehensive sources of logistics, supply chain and transport information in the world. A broad spread of national and regional events including the presentation of Annual Awards, the Logistics Research Network Conference, the transport managers safety conference and professional interest seminars delivered through the Institute’s network of professional forums, provide opportunity for the debate of current issues and policies.

b. Public Benefit

CILT(UK) sets the standards, delivers insights and develops peoples to shape a more resilient, sustainable and connected profession that benefits society and the wider economy. Supply chain operations, logistics and transport touch all areas of life. By pursuing its primary aims and objectives, the Institute helps ensure that the existence of an environment which enables encouragement and support for:

DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

Strategic report

Achievements and performance

a. Key performance indicators

Company Charitable Funds increased by £259k (2024: increased £509k) from £3,929k to £4,188k. Income generated from charitable activities increased by £359k (2024: increased by £138k) to £4,663k from £4,304k. Unrestricted income increased by 7% to £4,769 from £4,472

Expenditure on charitable activities decreased by 2% to £5,195k from £5,312k. Unrestricted expenditure increased by 4% to £4,601k from £4,413k.

b. Business review

The awareness of the logistics, transport and supply chain profession is critical in the UK because it's the economy's backbone, enabling daily goods, supporting all sectors (retail, health, manufacturing), boosting competitiveness, creating jobs, and it is essential for national resilience against disruptions like Brexit or pandemics. The Institute continues to work closely across Government Departments to increase awareness of where we can provide advice and insights and the Generation Logistics Programme is a key element of these activities which continued into “year 3”.

In addition, we continue to support access to qualifications and training for those seeking to enter the profession, through our restricted funds, Novus Trust and Aspire Careers Foundation, which continues to make positive progress supporting individuals through directly funded and gifted courses.

c. Investment policy and performance

The Institute’s investment powers are not restricted by its Memorandum or Articles of Association. The Board chooses to engage a firm of investment managers. Rathbones Wealth and Investment have been engaged since September 2011. The Board has granted discretionary investment powers to its investment managers with the agreed investment strategy being to provide an appropriate level of income whilst maintaining the capital value of the portfolio. Changes in the value of the investment portfolio are set out in Note 16 to the accounts.

Financial review

a. Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

In making their assessment of the Company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting, the directors have considered a period of 12 months from the date the financial statements were authorised for issue.

b. Reserves policy

On 30 September 2025 the Company held the Free Reserves of £2,575k (2024: £2,322k), being unrestricted funds of £2,713k (2024: £2,478k) less tangible and intangible assets of £138k (2024: £156k). The current target is that free reserves as expressed as number of months of general fund costs (the “solvency ratio”) should be

Page 6

THE CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORT IN THE UK

(A Company Limited by Guarantee)

DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

within the range of three to six months. This target solvency ratio range was reduced from the 2023 year-end target range of six to nine months. The Charity includes invested funds in calculating free reserves as they are readily realisable.

The year-end solvency ratio of free reserves equates to 6.5 months (2024 – 6.2 months) gross unrestricted forecast fund expenditure and whilst outside of the target, the Directors consider this to be an adequate level for the continuing operations of the Charity.

c. Principal risks and uncertainties

Reviews of the Institute’s current and planned activities is undertaken on an ongoing basis. This includes identifying, assessing and managing the significant risks to which it might be exposed. Risk management is reviewed and monitored by the Audit, Finance and Risk Committee and in addition the Board considers reports from the Audit, Finance and Risk Committee and reviews the appropriateness of the risk management, strategy and processes. The Directors recognise the importance of risk management and the need to regularly review risk management strategy and processes.

The principal areas of risk to the Institute have been identified as those relating to access to financial resources to fund investment in education and systems, educational governance, safeguarding its reputation, the delivery of value to members through its products and services and ensuring cyber and data security is resilient and well managed.

Structure, governance and management

a. Constitution

The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport in the UK (The Institute) is a Company limited by guarantee and a registered Charity governed by its Memorandum, Articles of Association and Bye-laws. The Institute has two wholly owned subsidiaries, PTRC Education and Research Services Ltd (PTRC), which was acquired on 18 December 2008 and whose activities are now managed through The Institute and CILT (UK) Services Ltd, which has never traded and remains dormant.

There have been no changes in the Institute's aims and charitable objectives since the last annual report. The Institute's constitution does not permit the distribution of surpluses.

b. Methods of appointment or election of Directors

The management of the Company is the responsibility of the Directors who are either elected, ex-officio or co-opted under the terms of the Memorandum, Articles of Association and Bye-laws.

c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies

The present governance structure was revised during 2020 and implemented during 2021 in line with Charity Commission best practice. The structure enhanced the Institute’s capability for its Directors to focus on strategy, the management of risk and delivery of charitable objects while providing for robust governance. Changes in the bye-laws were made at the May 2024 Board meeting, following a consultation process with the membership. A group has been formed by the Board to commission a follow-up independent governance review using professional advice.

The Governance Structure is headed by a Board of Trustees & Directors supported by a Membership Representative Group (MRG) and Board Committees which include the Audit, Finance and Risk Committee and the Remuneration & Awards Committee. The Board comprises elected members, the Audit, Finance and Risk Committee Chairman, the MRG Chairman, and up to six additional members co-opted by the Board to cover any skills gaps and to ensure the provision of a balanced and well-resourced Board.

(A Company Limited by Guarantee)

DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

A number of committees are directly accountable to the CILT (UK) Board. These include:

Operational Committees include:

The Board met six times during the financial year. Members of the Board serve without remuneration and are Trustees as well as Directors: they hold no shares in the Institute and no financial liability in respect of these appointments should it cease trading.

Directors and Officers of the Institute are appointed for a period which is determined by the Bye Laws: this is generally for a term of up to four years after which they may seek re-election and each may usually serve no more than two consecutive terms in the same office.

Day to day management of the Institute is undertaken by the executive staff under the direction of the Chief Executive.

Institute Board Committees meet regularly as required and have a direct reporting line to the Board.

d. Policies adopted for the induction and training of Directors

The Institute’s Bye-laws set out the process for the appointment of directors as well as their terms of office. Board appointments of elected members are for four years, and Directors can serve up to 2 terms. The terms are on a rotating basis. Ordinarily every two years the Institute invites applications from its members for the available places which are assessed through the Nominations Committee as part of a qualified election process. If there are more suitable candidates than vacancies, specified information provided by applicants is presented to the Institute's voting Members to allow assessment and selection of preferred candidates to provide a broad representation of skills and experience required to direct the business of the Institute. In addition, the Board may co-opt up to a further 8 members for a renewable period of up to 12 months for their skill and knowledge.

Members seeking election to the Board are provided with information outlining the responsibilities and duties of directors. Newly appointed directors attend a formal induction outlining the duties and responsibilities of a director and trustee. This is supplemented by copies of appropriate Charities Commission and advisory publications and copies of the Institute’s governing documents.

e. Financial risk management

The Directors have assessed the major risks to which the Company are exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Company and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

Plans for future periods

Future developments

The Institute is at implementation stage in a project to digitise its membership offering via a combination of new website, Learner Management System (LMS) and Digital Asset Management System (DAMS). The institute is also near completion on the introduction of a digital library for its members. This will transform the members’ experience of the benefits of CILT, particularly it will enable management of their CPD and career progression integral to the accredited membership approach.

The Institute is intent on continuing to raise awareness of the full potential and value of sustainable logistics, transport and supply chain operations transport and to further the raising of professional standards, delivery of relevant qualifications and training, the development and sharing of best practice, the enabling of professional networks and associated services to facilitate the broadest development of knowledge and expertise in its field.

Our objectives are to deliver essential continuing professional development and value to all members by supporting and enabling:

The Directors are conscious of the need to ensure that the Institute continues to deliver tangible public benefit. Given the current profile of the profession within Government, organisations and society the Directors recognise that there is a clear opportunity to support the growth and influence of the Institute, its members and their activities. Raising the profile, voice and standards of the profession will enable future skills to be developed and recognised as well as attracting, developing and retaining the talent necessary to meet the challenges of the future.

Accounts

The Company’s constitution does not permit the distribution of profit. The annual accounts show an increase for the year in Total Funds of £259k (2024: increase £509k).

Statement of Directors' responsibilities

The Directors (who are also the Trustees of the Company for the purposes of Company law) are responsible for preparing the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under Company law the Directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of their incoming resources and application of resources, including their income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORT IN THE UK

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport in the UK (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 30 September 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the Directors’ Report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except

Page 11

THE CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORT IN THE UK

(A Company Limited by Guarantee)

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORT IN THE UK

to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Directors’ Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of Directors

As explained more fully in the Directors’ Responsibilities Statement set out on page 9, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Page 12

THE CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORT IN THE UK

(A Company Limited by Guarantee)

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORT IN THE UK

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.

Based on our understanding of the charity and its industry, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to the employment regulation and health and safety regulation, anti-bribery, corruption and fraud, money laundering, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements.

To help us identify instances of non-compliance with these laws and regulations, and in identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect to non-compliance, our procedures included, but were not limited to:

We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements, such as the tax legislation, pension legislation, the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.

In addition, we evaluated the directors’ and management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements, including the risk of override of controls, and determined that the principal risks were related to posting manual journal entries to manipulate financial performance, management bias through judgements and assumptions in significant accounting estimates, revenue recognition (which we pinpointed to the cut-off assertion), and significant one-off or unusual transactions.

Our audit procedures in relation to fraud included but were not limited to:

Page 13

THE CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORT IN THE UK

(A Company Limited by Guarantee)

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORT IN THE UK

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with management. As with any audit, there remained a risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal controls.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of the audit report

This report is made solely to the charity’s members as a body in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s members as a body for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

1. General information

The Institute is a charitable Company limited by guarantee in England & Wales, registered number 02629347 and Charity number 1004963. Its registered office is 3 - 4 Earlstrees Court, Earlstrees Road, Corby, Northamptonshire, NN17 4AX.

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport in the UK meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

The Directors have assessed whether the provided going concern is appropriate, i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Directors make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the report and financial statements and have concluded that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The directors have disclosed this on page 6.

2.2 Income

All income is recognised once the Company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

Page 18

THE CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORT IN THE UK

(A Company Limited by Guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

2.3 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on the basis consistent with the use of resources.

Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the Company. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the Company and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Costs of generating funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the Company's educational operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the Company apportioned to charitable activities.

Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made, except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.

2.4 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.

2.5 Intangible assets and amortisation

Intangible assets costing £1k or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Amortisation is provided on intangible assets at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life.

The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Amortisation is provided on the following bases:
Trademarks - Over 4 years
Computer software - Over 10 years
Assets under construction - Asset will be amortised once commissioned for
operational use

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets costing £1k or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method unless otherwise stated.

Depreciation is provided on the following bases:

Fixtures and Fittings - 15% reducing balance Hardware - Over two to ten years

2.7 Investments

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance Sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment.

2.8 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

2.9 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

2.10 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

2.11 Financial instruments

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans, which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.12 Pensions

The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme, and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.

2.13 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Directors in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Directors for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
