Structure, Governance and Management
Trustees and organisational structure
Malaria Consortium is a charitable company, governed by a Board of Trustees [minimum 3 - maximum 18] under the Articles of Association. The Board meets quarterly, and for the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in July, where the audited accounts are normally approved. Also, at the AGM one third of the trustees retire, and are eligible for re-election as long as, normally, they have not served for a continuous period exceeding six years.
There are three sub-committees of the Board:
-
The Governance Committee to review and make recommendations regarding Board effectiveness, and ongoing Board development and lead the process of Board renewal. Currently, the Committee comprises four trustees, and the Chief Executive (non-voting).
-
The Finance, Audit and Risk Committee (FARC) to provide assurance to the Board that an effective internal control and risk management system is maintained, and that financial performance is being effectively managed. Currently, the Committee comprises four trustees, the Chief Executive and the Finance Director (non-voting).
-
The Compensation & HR Committee (C&HR) to review and make recommendations on the Chief Executive’s remuneration, the framework for the Global Management Group’s remuneration and the organisation’s human resources strategy and policies. Currently, the Committee comprises a minimum of three trustee members, including the Chair of the Board of Trustees. The organisation has a well-established job evaluation mechanism linked to a normalised pay and benefits framework. This framework is reviewed regularly for cost-of-living increments and benchmarked country by country in a rolling plan, using established market indices. The Chief Executive’s level of remuneration is similarly linked to that framework.
There are Trustees specifically designated as the leads for Safeguarding, Global Data Protection and Good Distribution Practice, the latter necessary to review ongoing alignment of practice with the needs of the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) licence required as a UK NGO moving pharmaceuticals across international borders.

New trustees are recruited for their skills in areas relevant to the governance, aims or the changing nature of the strategy and activities of Malaria Consortium. They are recruited in a variety of ways including public advertisement, and/or by recommendation from those working for, or with, Malaria Consortium, or by existing trustees. Candidates are scrutinised by the Governance Committee and by the Board as a whole. All new trustees receive an induction to the organisation by the Chief Executive and may be invited to attend a Board Meeting prior to election.
The Board of Trustees approves the major strategic decisions for the organisation. It uses an annual retreat to review progress against the agreed strategy and to take a measure of the performance as a Board. This is usually a self-assessment against a clear set of criteria and a review of progress against priorities set the previous year. In this reporting period the Board also commissioned and received the results of an independent external review of board effectiveness covering all key aspects of alignment with Charity Commission guidance. We are pleased to note that there were no major misalignments. On one point, it was noted that the articles allow for up to 18 Trustees, although the guidelines suggest 12 as a maximum. The trustees have considered this and concluded that the breadth of activity and geography, with representation on the Board from our host regions, remaining with the complement of 14-15 trustees continues to make sense. At the same time there were a lot of encouraging thoughts about ways to continue to challenge ourselves to assure relevance and currency as an organisation and governing body.
Each year, unless curtailed by a pandemic, a number of trustees are invited to make field visits to be fully informed about Malaria Consortium’s activities, thus enabling them to effectively support these strategic decisions. The Board of Trustees delegates the day-today operational decision-making to the Chief Executive, who, with the Global Management Group (GMG), runs the organisation and signs all contracts. The GMG is supported by Senior Management Teams at regional and country level who are responsible for all aspects of our programmes.

Malaria Consortium
Malaria Consortium inducts new staff to enable a strong understanding of the organisation covering structure, policies, and procedures along with expected conduct and other role-relevant information. Core policies that are fundamental to Malaria Consortium’s work and which staff are required to read fully are: the Code of Conduct; the Safeguarding Policy; the Anti-Fraud and Anti-Corruption Policy; the Anti-Money Laundering Policy; the Conflict of Interest Policy; the Whistle Blowing Policy; and the AntiBribery Policy. Managers are also introduced to people management policies, procedures, budgeting and planning.
Malaria Consortium utilises annual performance and development reviews to enable managers and staff to identify learning initiatives to bridge skills and/or knowledge gaps.
Malaria Consortium’s head office is in London, United Kingdom, with regional offices for East and Southern Africa in Kampala, Uganda covering Uganda, Mozambique, South Sudan and Ethiopia; for West Africa in Abuja, Nigeria covering Nigeria, Chad, Burkina Faso, Togo and Cameroon, and for Asia in Bangkok, Thailand covering Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar, and Bangladesh. Regional offices coordinate and supervise programmes and projects at country level in the three regions. Global activities and any work in other parts of the world are directed through the head office in the UK. For more detail on our programmes and offices, please refer to our website www.malariaconsortium.org.
At a country level, we work with Ministries of Health (MOH), local and regional UN offices, regional organisations in West, East, and Southern Africa, National Malaria Control Programmes (NMCPs), bilateral donors, international foundations, civil society organisations, development projects, private sector and most importantly, communities suffering from malaria, other communicable diseases and malnutrition.
Close collaborations are maintained with academic institutions. In the UK including the Nuffield Centre for International Health and Development at The University of Leeds, the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, Imperial College and University College London. Internationally, we collaborate with Karolinska Institute, Institute Pasteur, University of Oslo, Mahidol University (Bangkok, Thailand), University of Nigeria, University of Praetoria, and Makerere University (Uganda).
Malaria Consortium’s income is predominantly restricted, but the funding portfolio is changing. 90% of our income is raised through project-based contract and grant applications. Income on these projects is recorded at the same time as expense is incurred. There continues to be increased funding from philanthropy around the world, particularly from those who support charities that are recommended as recipients of funds from GiveWell’s Maximum Impact Fund. For us this is mainly, though not exclusively, linked to closing gaps in coverage for seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) across Sub-Saharan Africa, maintaining and further developing life-saving interventions for children under the age of five and in broadening our funding base.
Commitments from our donors to future funding allow us to plan for both continuities in existing areas for the following two to three years, and expansion to cover further eligible children.

Malaria Consortium
Mission
The mission of Malaria Consortium is to save lives and improve health in Africa & Asia, through evidence-based programmes that combat targeted diseases and promote universal health coverage (UHC).
We have referred to the guidance in the Charity Commission’s guidance on Public Benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how these activities will contribute to the aims and the objectives of the charity, as shown below, that guide all our work serving those suffering from communicable diseases and malnutrition in Africa and Asia.
Objectives
We rolled out our new strategy in March 2021, linked to revised strategic objectives.
These objectives are:
1. To be a leader in delivering life-saving SMC interventions in the Sahel and introducing SMC to newly eligible areas outside the Sahel
2. To contribute strongly to the strategy development for, and delivery of, targeted (nonSMC) preventive and case management interventions for key diseases
3. To play a significant leadership role in establishing and integrating the use of surveillance data/visualisation in decision-making and adaptive management, nationally and sub-nationally
4. To demonstrably support governments to shape their roadmaps to UHC and [re]build resilience as we emerge from the COVID-19 crisis
5. To develop a portfolio of operational research projects covering Malaria intervention innovations/COVID19 interactions/Pneumonia/Dengue in multiple countries to contribute strongly to change in policy and practice
6. To demonstrably expand/leverage digital solutions in support of community-level programmes and for remote technical advice, learning, training and supervision

Malaria Consortium
Strategic Report
Achievements and Performance
The reporting period for 2021/22 has been a very positive one operationally, despite being the second year of operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Malaria Consortium continued to take a risk-based approach to duty of care of our staff and further expand operations and research in many places.
In this context, we present a selection of key achievements and challenges for the year, linked to our 6 key objectives:
1. To be a leader in delivering life-saving SMC interventions in the Sahel and introducing SMC to newly eligible areas outside the Sahel
During the reporting period Malaria Consortium had the privilege of reaching over 20 million children under the age of five years with chemoprevention. This is up from 12 million in the prior year and six million before that. This is driven by maintaining or expanding programmes to new regions in our longer-term host countries of Nigeria, Burkina Faso and Chad, launching at scale in Togo, and continuing large pilots in both Nampula Province of Mozambique and Karamoja, Uganda. 60% of these activities have been supported through growth in philanthropic funds, alongside significant growth in numbers covered by institutional and multilateral donors. The continued effectiveness of the intervention in both new and current geographies, combined with the redefinition of eligibility criteria by WHO for the intervention, the inclusion of SMC in Global Fund priorities and the generosity of our donors, give confidence that significant impact can continue for the coming years.
2. To contribute strongly to the strategy development for, and delivery of, targeted (non-SMC) preventive and case management interventions for key diseases
This objective is targeted at improving access to and quality in diagnosis and treatment at all levels of the health system and has clearly been impacted to different levels country –by-country by the global COVID-19 pandemic. Despite that, overall, more than 15 million patients accessed quality assured treatment for malaria, diarrhoea, and pneumonia with Malaria Consortium support, with protocols re-written and programmes continuing through community-based interventions.
Malaria Consortium continues to be involved in distribution of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs), which remains one of the key, high-value interventions against malaria. In this reporting year, we distributed nets directly in South Sudan and Nigeria as part of our role as a Global Fund sub-recipient and were funded philanthropically to support distribution of 3.5 million nets including piperonyl butoxide (PBO) – an adjuvant that improves the effectiveness of the current generation of insecticides – in Ondo State, Nigeria. Anambra State distribution, which also received similar funding, had to be delayed into the next reporting period due to a combination of logistical challenges in global shipping markets and increased political insecurity. These net distributions have also been overlaid with a 3-year monitoring and evaluation programme
In Uganda, we successfully finalised our flagship USAID-funded programme, Malaria Action Plan for Districts, after 5 years, having seen significant progress in reducing
7
Malaria Consortium
infections in supported districts. Sadly, UKAID had to remove all SURMa (supporting Uganda’s response to malaria) funding as part of the cutbacks in response to the COVID19 pandemic. This had been supporting community case management interventions in the north. Gladly, we were able to continue baseline operations with a bridging grant from our sister organisation, Malaria Consortium US, closing the gap until Global Fund supported activities could take over the needed support. Malaria Consortium is implementing that support in Acholi/Lango districts.
In South Sudan, activities to support parts of the health system by implementing the Health Pooled Fund there, have continued in Aweil in the north-west, and with more humanitarian funding in the north-east.
In Myanmar, our schools-based programme for promoting dengue control, remained on hold, initially due to a combination of the COVID-19 pandemic and the takeover of the government by the military. It is unlikely to be able to continue. However, supported by UNICEF, in partnership with the UK’s Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, we have been able to provide case management support to local facilities in Karen Province.
In Asia we hosted and provided technical support through the Vector Control Working Group of the Asia Pacific Malaria Elimination Network (APMEN). This is based out of our regional office in Thailand, working together with all the countries of the Asia Pacific Leaders’ Malaria Alliance (APLMA) to assure and push forward the most appropriate technical interventions in the region.
We continue to track the progress of the availability of the approved RTS,S[1] vaccine for malaria. There is currently relatively limited supply, and trials are ongoing on the best channels to deploy the vaccine on its own or in combination with other vaccines or chemoprevention-based interventions.
3. To play a significant leadership role in establishing and integrating the use of surveillance data/visualisation in decision-making and adaptive management, nationally and sub-nationally
This is a significant time in the development of the use of data related to health systems. This has been further highlighted as the world has watched the progress of the COVID-19 pandemic accompanied by a transition from ‘evidence’ to modelling whose parameters can be adjusted as new data becomes available.
At Malaria Consortium, we consider this a time of great opportunity to press ahead with supporting decision-makers in the improvement of existing data, the expansion of community level data as a means to drive response to outbreaks, and the visualisation of data to allow greater clarity on the issues of the health system.
In Mozambique, we completed year 3 of a 4-year programme, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, to establish the future approach to malaria surveillance as part of the wider disease surveillance and response model in country. This, when overlaid with the community level data available through upSCALE (please also see comment in
1 RTS,S is the denotation given to the vaccine by GlaxoSmithKline produced under the brand name Mosquirix. Readers should not be concerned by the Acronym
8
Malaria Consortium
objective 6 below) has provided a great leap forward in the ability to do both passive and active surveillance and response.
In Cambodia, we continued and extended our work with mobile and migrant populations in forested areas in the north and north-east of the country, where most of the residual falciparum malaria is to be found, having received funding from the Global Fund funding round for 2021-2023 to work with the Government to accelerate progress towards elimination. Here, Mobile Malaria workers actively surveil the highest risk population working in the forest areas. These are largely young, working-age men who work in forestry/plantations, often at night. By targeting the entry and exit routes to the forest with active surveillance, it has proven possible to identify and treat many of the remaining cases of malaria on the journey to elimination which is very close to a reality.
4. To demonstrably support governments to shape their roadmaps to UHC and [re]build resilience as we emerge from the COVID-19 crisis
During this reporting period it has been understandably difficult for any health system to make significant progress towards long term goals while responding to COVID-19. This was the first year of the new strategy to support governments to be able to effectively describe the actions needed to build towards universal coverage. Our primary working programme that outlined our approach, SuNMaP2 in Nigeria, was unfortunately curtailed as noted last year. This was designed to align the finance and planning systems to help prioritise spend towards key interventions, in both public and private sectors, starting with malaria and then providing the platform for other diseases and preventive activities, gradually transitioning to local, sustainable ways of working.
We have, however, been able to invest in defining our likely role and a framework to allow us to engage systematically with health systems against 6 key pillars: Access; Equity; Quality; Affordability; Sustainability and Resilience of Communities. This has provided the foundation for our country teams and above country staff to engage with governments at all levels to conceptualise and realise universal health coverage by contributing technical and capacity assistance, deliver evidence and facilitate partnerships, to influence behaviours, policies and programmes to connect communities to quality, affordable, inclusive and comprehensive healthcare.
As a specific example, In Ethiopia and Chad, we are working with their ministries of health to develop clear pneumonia strategies, as part of wider child health approaches, which can then be actioned and target potential funders.
5. To develop a portfolio of operational research projects covering Malaria intervention innovations/COVID-19 interactions/Pneumonia/Dengue in multiple countries to contribute strongly to change in policy and practice
Following our successful application for Independent Research Organisation status we have continue to build our capacity for and portfolio of research, both in breadth and scale.
In Mozambique and Uganda, we are undertaking randomised cluster trials on the impact of SMC, at a scale never undertaken by Malaria Consortium before, to demonstrate the impact of the implementation of this intervention. Also, in Nigeria we are running
9
Malaria Consortium
randomised cluster trials on the effectiveness of intermittent preventive treatment in infants.
In Mozambique, we are partnering to investigate and track the variations of genetic make-up of the malaria parasite and build a biobank to support future research.
In Uganda and Ethiopia, on the back of the work we did to look at the interrelationship between Covid-19 and malaria last year, we are conducting a study on long-Covid, its prevalence in community, the ability of workers to differentially diagnose this with Malaria and other fever causing diseases, and what needs to be done to adjust working protocols.
Both at international and national level, we have remotely maintained a presence in key partnerships and working groups linked to policy and advocacy. Globally these include at the WHO’s Malaria Policy Advisory Group (MPAG) and Vector Control Working Group. We continue to host the Surveillance, Monitoring and Evaluation Reference Group (SMERG) and through the Roll Back Malaria Partnership to End Malaria. We also hosted the Vector Control and Surveillance working groups of the Asia Pacific Malaria Elimination Network (APMEN) in Asia. We host the research working group of the SMC Alliance and the research group of the ‘Every Breath Counts’ Partnership on pneumonia and sit on the implementation science sub-group of the Child Heath Initiative.
We partner with the Ministries of Health where Malaria Consortium works, and work with local advocacy partners in endemic areas, aiming to change policy and practice and continue to participate in WHO Technical consultations.
6. To demonstrably expand/leverage digital solutions in support of communitylevel programmes and for remote technical advice, learning, training, and supervision
In Mozambique, we have been able to expand the functionality of our community health worker-focused, smart phone-based application called upSCALE. This supports household and birth and death registration, family planning and protocols for integrated community case management (iCCM) of malaria, pneumonia, and diarrhoea, to include advice on the identification of COVID-19 symptoms and referral and tracking for post-partum haemorrhage. This tool also provides data in a form that can be integrated directly with the country’s health management information system. This is now active across nearly 50% of the community health workers in Mozambique and supported by UNICEF and Global Fund we hope to see this move country-wide aligned with the further development of the country’s community health subsystem and the necessary digital accountability mechanisms.
In Uganda, funded by Malaria Consortium US, we have launched a community health tool, adapted from upSCALE in support of Village Health Workers (VHWs) in Buikwe. This currently covers about half of the village health workers who are supporting integrated community case management in the district. In partnership with other local organisations, we also developed a module to support ‘smart discharge’ of children back to their communities. This has proved very effective, and we are looking to expand to the rest of the district and then hopefully nationwide.

Malaria Consortium
Financial Review
Income
Total income received during the year amounted to £84.4 million, an increase of £16.5 million (+24%) on the previous year. The increase in income was primarily due to a £10 million increase (34%) in delivering SMC due to expansion in Nigeria, Togo, Mozambique, and Uganda. £71.4 million was received from GiveWell directed funding for future SMC seasons. 100% of the funds required for targeted expansion until 2025 have been received in advance. In a change in how the income recognition policy is applied, income received in advance for SMC previously recognised as restricted reserves is now accounted for as deferred income. The prior year comparatives have been restated to reflect this , with further information provided at note 19.
GiveWell also provided £14.7 million (FY 2021: Nil) for LLIN distribution in Nigeria. Funding from UKAID was down £7.5 million to £1.4 million (2021: £8.9m) with the termination of the SuNMaP2 contract in Nigeria. Funding from the US government agency, USAID, directly and via sub-agreements including Pathfinder and Abt Associates reduced to £0.5 million from £6 million in the previous year due to the end of the MAPD contract in Uganda. Funding from Global Fund was £12.6 million (2021: £12.4m). Funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation increased to £4.3 million (2021: £3million) with Foundation providing funding for SMC related research and other activities. Other donors contributed the balance. Please refer to note 2c on page 20 for the full list of our funding partners.
Expenditure
Charitable expenditure on programmes increased by £13 million to £79.4 million (2021: £66.4 million, 2020: £43.8 million). This increase in charitable expenditure from 2020/21 is primarily due to the expansion of the SMC program (+£10 million), LLIN campaign in Nigeria (+£14.1 million), Global Fund Reducing the Malaria Burden program, Nigeria (+£2 million). The closure of projects led to reduction of expenditure - SuNMaP2, Nigeria (-£5.3 million), USAID funded MAPD programme in Uganda (£4.5 million). Note 3 on page 33 shows this expenditure categorised according to our strategic objectives. 88% of total programme expenditure for the year represented the spend on Accelerating disease elimination. Universal Health Coverage, Strengthening digital solutions and Research projects and Influencing policy represented 5%, 4% and 3% respectively of the total programme expenditure for the year. 52% (FY 2021:39%) of expenditure occurred in Nigeria and 23% for multi-country expenditure in Africa relating to the procurement of commodities for the SMC initiatives.
Support costs as a proportion of direct costs are 4% (2021: 6%). Increase in programme spending has enabled greater recharge of support costs.

Malaria Consortium
Result for the year
The total net movement in funds for the year was an increase of £4.6 million in unrestricted reserves to £10.8 million (2021: £6.1 million; 2020: £5.1 million).
At the end of the year, in a change in how the income recognition policy is applied, restricted funds for Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention activities were recognised as a liability (deferred income) amounting to £99.9 million (2021 £67.8 million) reflecting SMC grants received in advance of the seasonal activity for SMC.
In addition to these funds, included in creditors is £17.1 million reflecting funds received in advance from GiveWell for LLIN, UNICEF, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Global Fund via Catholic Relief Services, which will be utilised in the next financial year.

Malaria Consortium
Reserves Policy:
The Board of Trustees recognises the importance of building and maintaining unrestricted reserves at an appropriate level and entrusts the Finance, Audit and Risk Committee to annually assess the charity’s level of unrestricted funds. The majority of the organisation’s operational commitments relate to activities funded by restricted funds. The contractual agreements cover the completion of such tasks and related financial commitments. The Finance, Audit and Risk Committee reviewed future needs, opportunities, commitments or risks, the likelihood of future income falling short of the amount of the anticipated costs and considered the level reserves that are necessary to make up the shortfall.
Malaria Consortium’s reserve policy is “ to hold reserves, sufficient to cover existing commitments relating to staff costs and operational leases and four months of support costs to maintain the organisation’s shape in the event of timing differences in funding.”
General Reserves (Unrestricted)
General reserves are reserves that are not restricted to or designated for a particular purpose. Based on the current reserves policy, the minimum level of reserves required is £2.97 million, which is sufficient to meet existing contractual commitments of £1.86 million and £1.11 million for the support costs for four months. The current level of unrestricted reserves is £9.4 million (2021: £5.6 million; 2020: £3.7 million). The charity has funds more than its minimum reserve requirements and will be investing in systems and infrastructure required to meet its strategic objectives. In addition, the Board of Trustees decided it was prudent and necessary to set aside a designated reserve of £1.39 million from unrestricted reserves. Total unrestricted reserves including designated reserves as at 31 March 2022 were £10.8 million (2021: £6.1m ;2020: £5.1 m)
£1.389 million has been designated by the Board as below:

Malaria Consortium
Investment Policy and Performance
Funds received during the year for seasonal activities are invested in interest bearing notice accounts. Funds received for on-going charitable activities and reserves are held in interest-bearing accounts that can be called on without notice. Monies are held in the most likely currency of expenditure to manage foreign exchange risk. The charity does not speculate on currency.
Disclosure of information to auditor
The trustees who held office at the date of approval of the Trustees’ Annual Report confirm that, so far as they are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company’s auditor are unaware, and each trustee has taken all the steps they ought to take to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company’s auditor is aware of that information.
Compliance with Trustees Duties under Section 172(2) Companies Act 2006
Trustees must act in the way they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote Malaria Consortium’s success to achieve its charitable purposes. The Trustees, in doing so, delegate day to day management and decision-making to the Chief Executive, who, with the Global Management Group, is required to act to further Malaria Consortium’s strategy and to ensure that the activities are carried out in compliance with agreed plans and policies. The Trustees receive updates on Malaria Consortium’s performance and plans at each Board of Trustee meeting. In carrying out their duties, the Trustees have regard (amongst other matters) to:
The likely consequences of any decision in the long term
The organisation has shown resilience through the COVID-19 pandemic and formally launched the new strategy during 2021. The Trustees review progress against the strategy on an annual basis in November. Forecasts are reviewed by the Trustees at each FARC meeting and decisions which may impact the longer term are highlighted and referred to the full Board.
The interest of the charity’s employees
The organisation has completed a full staff engagement survey in 2021, showing excellent engagement in all locations. The results and agreed actions arising have been communicated back to all countries. There will be a follow up pulse survey in 2022.
The need to foster the charity’s business relationships with suppliers, customers, and others
Our network of collaborators includes research activities, local partnership organisations, global and local working groups, Ministries of Health where Malaria Consortium works, local advocacy partners in endemic areas, academic co-investigators in research projects and WHO Technical consultations. These partnerships are key to our work worldwide. Mutual respect, together with transparency and accountability, underpins our work with others.
Our values govern our procurement process, and all our suppliers must comply with our Code of Conduct and principles of our Procurement Policy.

Malaria Consortium
There are Trustees specifically designated as the leads for Global Data Protection and Good Distribution Practice, the latter necessary to review ongoing alignment of practice with the needs of the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) licence required as a UK NGO moving pharmaceuticals across international borders.
The impact of the charity’s operations on the community and the environment
We have continued to invest and improve our safeguarding to ensure that we better protect all those we work with. One of our Trustees is specifically designated as the lead for Safeguarding. Our Safeguarding work in 2021/22 included further updating of the safeguarding policy and the writing of a separate policy on sexual abuse and exploitation. Updated safeguarding training for Trustees has been added to our e-learning platform, as has a safeguarding refresher training for all staff.
Malaria Consortium continues to consider the impact of its work on the local environment and climate change and reviews the need to travel internationally in keeping with the need to reduce its carbon footprint.
Maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct
As we strive to achieve our strategic objectives, we lead by example and seek to demonstrate in all areas high standards of business conduct. Our Procurement and recruitment policies reflect our values and commitment to safeguarding and high standards of conduct.
Malaria Consortium inducts new staff to enable a strong understanding of the organisation covering structure, policies, and procedures along with expected conduct and other role-relevant information. Core policies that are fundamental to Malaria Consortium’s work and which staff are required to read fully are: The Code of Conduct; the Safeguarding Policy; the Anti-Fraud and Anti-Corruption Policy; the Anti-Money Laundering Policy; the Conflict of Interest Policy; the Whistle Blowing Policy; and the AntiBribery Policy. Managers are also introduced to people management policies, procedures, budgeting, and planning.
We require all our partners, suppliers, and employees to adhere to our anti-bribery and anti-corruption policy as well as our code of conduct which prohibit fraud, bribery, and nepotism.
The need to act fairly between members of the charity
Malaria Consortium is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated under the name Malaria Consortium. The charity’s articles of association provide that its trustees (who are also the directors of Malaria Consortium for the purposes of company law) govern Malaria Consortium through the Board of Trustees. The trustees are responsible for overseeing the management of all the affairs of Malaria Consortium and delegate day-to-day management of the organisation to the Chief Executive.
The Articles of Association provide for admitting members who make decisions relating to things such as changing the charity’s constitution, appointing and removing trustees,
15
Malaria Consortium
voting on resolutions at the Annual General Meetings . Members, however, do not have responsibility for the management of the charity’s day to day activities .
Public Fundraising
Malaria Consortium works to build trust and public confidence in our organisation and is committed to fundraising best practice. We are registered with the Fundraising Regulator, support the Code of Fundraising Practice and undertake public fundraising through our website, social media, newsletters and annual campaigns.
We seek to raise both unrestricted income, expendable at the discretion of the Trustees within the overall aims of the charity, and income restricted to our seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) programme, which has GiveWell Top Charity Status. Individual donations are received through our website, via third party platforms such as Just Giving and directly, including via philanthropic organisations worldwide. All third-party organisations are to subject to appropriate due diligence before funds are accepted. We do not undertake public fundraising through professional fundraisers or commercial participators and only contact donors that have opted in to receiving communications and easily able to unsubscribe.
Compliance with Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR)
Malaria Consortium is classified as a low energy user under the UK Government’s Energy Reporting standards, and so information on its energy and carbon usage is not disclosed in this report.
Auditor
Buzzacott LLP were appointed as auditor by the Board of Trustees on 11 November 2021.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the Board of Trustees considers to be appropriate. The reasons for preparing accounts on this basis have been provided in the Note 1 a to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022.
Plans for Future Periods
Malaria Consortium will continue to have a primary focus on malaria while expanding our portfolio in our other target diseases and identified business areas. The strategy acknowledges the spectrum of progress on the roadmap to elimination; the importance of data and the shift from evidence to modelling; the realities of the COVID-19 pandemic; the likely change in the pattern and severity of diseases in light of that pandemic, and the need for adaptability; the changing role of technology; and the continued shift in the way funds are released both domestically and internationally.
We remain deeply encouraged by the thoughtful generosity of those that support our work. Being a ‘GiveWell top charity’ for SMC, and the wider support this has engendered from the Effective Altruist community around the world enables us to see consistency in
16
Malaria Consortium
our ability to intervene and a degree of financial certainty in uncertain times, not just to stand still, but to pioneer work and generate evidence of impact and effectiveness in new areas as we look ahead.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The responsibility for overseeing the management of risk has been delegated by the trustees to the Finance, Audit and Risk Committee (FARC) that reports to the Board. The FARC reviews the Risk Register quarterly, which shows the impact and likelihood of the major risks, and Risk Assessment and Risk Management processes.
Risk Assessment
The achievement of our objectives depends on many factors, both inside and outside the control of the organisation. The identified risks, and our approach to their management, include:
- Strategic: Changing donor strategies make participation in opportunities more complex.
The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), having reduced overall funding through the COVID-19 pandemic, have not yet clarified how any available funds will be allocated, creating continued uncertainty through the sector. When funding returns, we are told, it will be more aligned bilaterally with prioritised countries. Malaria Consortium will continue to interact both at a UK level and with the missions in country. The US Government have recently stated their strategy to prioritise local organisations with a greater percentage of funds but is yet to fully clarify what this implies for international NGOs not based in the US. It is likely we will transition back to ‘sub’ roles over the coming period, rather than capture funds as a ‘Prime’, though there may be selective opportunities to do so.
2. Governance : Misalignment with one or more of the governance and statutory requirements across the Malaria Consortium network .
Guidelines for governance of a UK registered charitable company are clear. The trustees have recently reviewed all these issues of governance, as noted above, and have an ongoing workplan to review identified opportunities to further enhance our breadth. It is critical, country-by-country, that we keep fully on top of the statutory obligations, both for operating and constitution. An annual review of currency with these needs is undertaken by the Executive team with the country directors. Malaria Consortium is moving data and materials across borders and the Trustees acknowledge the need for clear governance frameworks for both. Experience in managing Global Data Protection risk is growing around the world and Malaria Consortium is investing in additional resources to get/keep on top of the requirements for this with a renewal of data-mapping, training and data cleaning exercises. This is particularly important when managing large numbers of temporary staff to meet the demand of the seasonality of large parts of our programming.
17
Malaria Consortium
- Performance: A failure to deliver a project through internal and external factors, resulting in a loss of reputation.
To maintain our ability to contribute in an increasingly competitive sector, the organisation needs to demonstrate consistently our ability to deliver as promised, both to the communities we serve and those that fund us. While the programmatic achievements of the organisation remain impressive, with repeated and increased funding from donors, we cannot be complacent. In addition, the organisation has increased its accountability, transparency and assurance to demonstrate good value for money to donors and strengthen our safeguarding approach. Operational calls between senior management in the head office and in the regional offices continue to review performance and expenditure occur and a quarterly performance review is shared with the Board.
- Operational (including Safeguarding, Staffing and IT security) : A failure to safeguard operations and staff adequately particularly in high-risk areas, including cyber, resulting in a serious incident.
Instability remains a feature of many of the host countries we serve. The trustees believe we have strong safeguarding and duty of care related policies and procedures and provide relevant training to our staff. The greatest need for our services is often in areas with high, and changing, security threats, particularly in South Sudan, Northern Nigeria, Northern Mozambique and parts of Myanmar. Security of beneficiaries, personnel and property is paramount. We keep up-to-date information about the security situations where we work and have suitable insurance to cover our work and staff. If security threats are persistent, we relocate, and/or suspend operations. No relocations/suspensions were required in the reporting period.
Cyber risks are real and evolving and constant care needs to be taken. An external advisor was identified to review the overall IT security situation and Malaria Consortium has invested in enhanced IT security over the reporting period, based on that review. Hacking attempts can be better identified, and other incidents can be avoided and better tracked through the suite of tools now available. This is kept under regular review by the Finance Audit and Risk Committee.
- Financial : A deficit in cash flow to meet expenditure requirements, therefore a delay in implementation .
This is not currently a significant risk for Malaria Consortium. This is due to the advance payments for future commitments to SMC. There can be significant challenges for the balance sheet from exchange rate fluctuations, but the majority of the income and spending is now in USD meaning that the risk is mitigated as the money is spent. Also, the trustees have designated funds for foreign exchange fluctuations as a risk mitigation mechanism. The Chair of the FARC monitors cash flow and reserves monthly and reports to Trustees quarterly on cash flow and reserves. With careful control of support costs, we maintain our reserves in line with policy and continue to make ongoing investments in our future.
The trustees have considered these major risks to which the charity is exposed and satisfied themselves that systems or procedures are established to mitigate those risks.

Malaria Consortium
Statement of Trustees' responsibilities in respect of the trustees’ annual report and the financial statements
The trustees (who are also directors of Malaria Consortium for purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' annual 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 trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
e select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
e observe the methods and principles in Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102);
-
e make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
e state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
e prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper and adequate accounting records that disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
e There is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditors are unaware
-
e The trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. _ Approved0 by the trustees onion and signed on their behalf by: Marcel Tanner J ii ee Chair Cc - an

Malaria Consortium
Report from the independent auditors to the members of Malaria Consortium
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Malaria Consortium (the ‘charitable parent company’) and its subsidiary (the ‘group’) and the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the group statement of financial activities, the group and charitable parent company balance sheets and group statement of cash flows, the principal accounting policies and the notes to the financial statements. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 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:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and of the charitable parent company’s affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of the group’s income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis of 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 group 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 trustees’ 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 about the group’s or the charitable parent company’s ability to continue as a going
21
Malaria Consortium
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 trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report and financial statements, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.
Opinion on other matter prescribed by the companies act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Trustees’ report, which is also the directors’ report for the purposes of company law and includes the Strategic Report, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Trustees’ report, which is also the directors’ report for the purposes of company law and includes the Strategic Report, has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the charitable parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ report including the Strategic 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:
22
Malaria Consortium
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept by the charitable parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the charitable parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of Trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of responsibilities of the Trustees, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable parent company for the purposes of company law) 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 Trustees 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 Trustees are responsible for assessing the group’s and the charitable parent company’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 Trustees either intend to liquidate the group or the charitable parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
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 these financial statements.
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. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
23
Malaria Consortium
How the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
-
the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations;
-
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the group and the charitable parent company through discussions with trustees and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the sector;
-
we focused on specific laws and regulations in both the UK and overseas, which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the group and the charitable parent company. These laws and regulations included the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, data protection legislation, anti-bribery legislation, employment legislation, safeguarding principles and health and safety legislation;
-
we considered the impact of the international nature of the group and the charitable parent company’s operations on its compliance with laws and regulations;
-
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and
-
identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the group and the charitable parent company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
-
making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
-
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and noncompliance with laws and regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
24
Malaria Consortium
-
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
-
tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
-
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out in the accounting policies were indicative of potential bias; and
-
used data analytics to investigate the rationale behind any significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
-
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
-
reading the minutes of meetings of management and those charged with governance;
-
obtaining details of work carried out by internal auditors in connection with compliance with local laws and regulations;
-
enquiring of management in the UK and other countries as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and
-
reviewing any available correspondence with HMRC and the group and the charitable parent company’s legal advisors.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of our report
25
Malaria Consortium
This report is made solely to the charitable parent company’s member, 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 charitable parent company’s member those matters we are required to state to it 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 charitable parent company and the charitable parent company’s member 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 31 March 2022
1 Accounting Policies
a Basis of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention and in accordance with applicable Financial Reporting Standard (FRS102) and the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) 2015 “Accounting and Reporting by Charities”. The format of the Income and Expenditure Account has been adapted from that prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 to better reflect the special nature of the charity's operations. The accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006.
Malaria Consortium meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102.
Accounting estimates and key judgements
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The estimates and judgements that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows:
Provisions – The rationale behind this is disclosed in note 13.
Management believe that these provisions are appropriate based on information currently available
Income recognition - determining whether there are performance conditions in place on funding agreements based on funding terms and donor practices.
The financial review in the Trustees' Report reviews the finances of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022 in comparison to the prior year. The Trustees' report explains how the charity is structured and managed and how major risks are dealt with. Going Concern The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the Board of Trustees considers to be appropriate for the following reasons.
The Board of Trustees has reviewed cash flow forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. After reviewing these forecasts the Board of Trustees is of the opinion that, taking account of severe but plausible downsides, the charity will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due over the period of 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements (the going concern assessment period).
The charity has a healthy cash balance and a large proportion of grant funding required for 2022/23, 2022/24 and 2024/25 has been received in advance from donors. The charity has received funds in advance from philanthropic funders including grant funding in FY 2022 of £56.2m from Good Ventures, £2.6m from Clear Fund, and £11.85m from Silicon Valley Community Foundation, for Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention. Funds from other donors including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Global Fund are received in advance for programme activities and retained as deferred income. £135.94m held as cash and bank balances reflects funds received in advance of activities as well as Malaria Consortium unrestricted funds.
Consequently, the Board of Trustees is confident that the charity will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.
b Fund Accounting
Unrestricted funds are general funds that are available at the Trustees' discretion for use in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Designated funds represent unrestricted funds that are set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes.
Restricted funds are those provided by donors for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
c Income
Income for a specific purpose is credited to a restricted fund.
All income becoming available to the charity is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities on the basis of entitlement. In respect of income not tied to time-limited grants, income is recognised as soon as it is prudent and practicable to do so. In the case of performance related grants or long term contract income, income entitlement is considered to be conditional upon delivery of the specified level of service, in accordance with FRS102 and the Charities SORP 2015 . Income is therefore recognised to the extent the charity has delivered the service or activity, with the grants less the management fee being credited to restricted income in the SOFA. The expenditure incurred to date is used as a reasonable estimate or approximation of the charity's performance and so income entitlement. Any such income not recognised in the year will be carried forward as deferred income and is included in liabilities in the balance sheet.
d Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised in the period in which it is incurred and includes attributable VAT which cannot be recovered. Expenditure is allocated to a particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity.
Support costs of technical, financial and management oversight and direction are apportioned on a project by project basis, in line with the requirements of the various funding agencies.
The costs of raising funds are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and institutional income.

1 Accounting Policies continued
e Donated goods and services
Donated goods and services are valued and brought in as income when the items/services are received and expenditure when the items/services are distributed. Any undistributed items/services are treated as stock. Where the gift is a fixed asset, the asset is capitalised and depreciated. Where this intangible income relates to project activities it is included as an activity in furtherance of the charity's objects. The values attributable to donated goods are an estimate of the gross value to the organisation, usually the market value.
f Foreign Currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded using the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are not retranslated. Gains or losses on transactions are included in the statement of financial activities.
g Intangible Fixed Assets
Intangible fixed assets purchased from restricted funds for a particular project are charged to that project and are not capitalised. Intangible fixed assets purchased from unrestricted funds and costing more than £1,500 are capitalised and included at cost. Depreciation is provided on all intangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off cost on a straight line basis over four years.
h Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets purchased from restricted funds for a particular project are charged to that project and are not capitalised. Tangible fixed assets purchased from unrestricted funds and costing more than £1,500 are capitalised and included at cost. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off cost on a straight line basis over four years, except for buildings which are depreciated on a straight line basis over 25 years. The value of the land is not depreciated.
Malaria Consortium commissioned a report in 2016 for the revaluation of the buildings, but the change in value was considered not significant enough to warrant a revaluation. Malaria Consortium will commission a revaluation of the leasehold building in 2022.
-
i Debtors
-
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
j Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a maturity of six months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
k Creditors and Provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or reliably estimated. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount.
-
l Financial Instruments
-
Malaria Consortium only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic. These basic financial instruments are shown in the balance sheet and initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
m Pension Costs
The company makes agreed contributions to individual "Defined Contribution" pension schemes for certain employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of Malaria Consortium in independently administered funds. The cost represents amounts payable in the year.

Operating Leases
Rentals payable under operating leases, where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership remain with the lessor, are charged to the statement of financial activities in the year in which they fall due.
Group accounts
The financial statements present information about the Company as an individual undertaking and its Group. The operation of the subsidiary company Malaria Enterprise Limited in the year has been considered and is not material to the Company for the purpose of giving a true and fair view. The Company has therefore taken advantage of the exemptions provided by Section 405 of the Companies Act 2006 not to consolidate Malaria Enterprise Limited. However the operations of Malaria Public Health Limited have been considered materia to the company for the purpose of giving a true and fair view and have been consolidated.

The programme provisions are potential liabilties on contracts that may become payable. The provision for overseas tax relates to obligations in countries where Malaria Consortium is operating or has operated in the past. The staff provision includes amounts for severance payments on contract completion. The grant provision is for the payment by results risks from Sunmap2. It is expected that Malaria Consortium will settle these obligations within the next financial year once the close out audit for Sunmap2 has concluded.

Within restricted funds, funds received in advance for Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention activities from philanthropic sources received during the financial year for activities in subsequent financial years have been deferred for the first time. The charity's accounting policy is to recognise performance related grants in line with delivery of the activity. SMC programme commenced in 2013. SMC grants received from philanthropic sources were not previously treated as having performance related conditions. As the relationship with philanthropic funders has evolved we are now receiving significant funding in advance of activity which must be delivered in future accounting periods due to the seasonal nature of the activity. As a result, it is now more appropriate to recognise the SMC funding received from philanthropic funds as performance related grants in line with the charity's other grants. As detailed above, the comparative figures have been updated to reflect this change in the application of the accounting policy in connection with philanthropic funding received for SMC.
The movement of £0.200 million in FY 2020/21 and £32.155 million in FY 2021/22 have been reflected in the statement of financial activities and its comparative.
