REPORTOFTHE PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 3oJUNE 2021
President's and Chief Executive's
Report
During the year to 30 June 2021. we also continued to host,
work alongside and support One NHS Finan￿ with the
delbvery of their programme Of work in England which has
expanded considerably to encompass Future-Focused
Finance. the Nabonal Finan￿ Academy and the Finan
Innovation Fotum. We are proud to be a part of this exciting
and developing set of programmes.
The business plan for thè year to 30 June 2021 was set as
8 reset year for HFMA, having pivot&d the organisation in
the last quarter ol the year to 30 June 2020 to cope with the
impact of Covid-19. The ￿u$ of that business plan was lo
maintain our volume of activities to support our members as
much as we could and at the same time to ensure the
organisation was financially susl8in8ble by making a small
surplus.
Atthe beginning of the year the trustees recognised that the
future was very uncertain 3nd therefore rather than set the
new three-year strategy from 1 July 2020. Fl was decided lo
have Nvo years of reset to 30 June 2022 with a recognitio
that there is a need to be nimble and flexible a5 we le3m
what the 'new nornal, looks like in the Covid-19 worfd we
now live in. We will use the second half of the next financial
year to set a new three-year strategy for the three years
from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2025.
We are delighted to be able to say that both objectiveswere
achieved. The volurne of actÈvity and support to mernbers
was actually greater than ever in the last ye8r. Financially
the statutory accounts show a surplus of £348k for the year
to 30 June 2021, compkred to a deficit of £779k in the
previous year to 30 June 2020. This is a most pleasing result
and goes someway to rebuilding the reserves reduced in the
previous year to a level of £3,954k at 30 June 2021.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank our fiiends
on the corporate partner prooramme who provide us with
valuable resources Wrthout which we would not be able to
run our ￿￿traI infrastructure. They. along with all our
commercial supporte￿. continue to be very supportive in
these challenging timès for which WÈ a￿ very grateful.
The demand for outputs from our policy and technical team
continued to be very high as did the requests for webinars
an(S other on-line acbvilies. Our free bitesize E leaming
modules. which arè on the NHS ESR system. were
accessed over 25.000 h.mes The number of people
attending our virtual events was considerably higher than
Used to attend face lo face events. The reach across the
NHS. as result, was far greater Ihan ever before.
Our theme for the period of the pandernic has been Taknng
pride in our future. We have never been prouder to be
supporting our mernbers workn'ng in the NHS through Ihis
hugely challenging time. They have dernonstialed
resilienee, professionalism and sheer guts in keeping the
NHS running over Ihis18sI year.
Ilwe did not know italready, we were reminded how resilient
and supportive the NHS finan￿ ￿nctIOn is. We received
numerous Messages of support and useful suggestions as
lo how HFMA could assist and support the finance
Community across the NHS. As a result, the association was
able to tailor its work programme accordingly. In 'normal
times, this support has been the kèy to HFMA'S succe55. In
these extraordinary times the time and energy that HFMA'S
volunteers and membership have put into the association
has ensured we have survived and have been able to move
forward with confidenoe.
There's always more lo do bul is clear is Ihalthe future looks
very different posl-pandemic to what it was pre-pandemic.
At HFMA we will continue to work hard to 5UPPQrt our
rnembers as the NHS moves fOn￿ard and we will work hard
to help ensure that we keep the best ol what we've ￿arnt
over the last year.
Thank you for reading this annual review. As always, please
do not hesitate to contact us with any cornments or thoughts
and our best wishe
to you all.
By the membership providing this 5UPPOrt the assoaation
was also able to provide a significant increase in public
benefit as evidenced by, for example, the levels of social
rnedia traffic and downloads of material over the last year.
When we develop our business plan each year. we set
some key performance indicators which we rneasure
ourselves against each year. These show that as at 30 June
2021 we had reached a record 17,396 members and
supported them and others through..

The investment approach is discu55ed and agreed annualty

considerable amount ol funds should be held in easi

be achieved if the funds were tied up in fixed tem accounts)

When appropriate or necessary additional Board meetings
are called. These meeting5 along with briefing p3p&rs for
the Board ensured the Trustees were lully briefed on the
risks and actions being taken 8nd fully involved in decision

INVESTMENT POLICY
The Investment Policy is to match the risks and accessibility
ol the assets invesled in against the Teason behind the
investments being made in that..
Over the year, in addition to regular Board meetings. the
Audit and Finance Committee and the Appointments and
Remuneration Committee met four limes. These
committees have delegated pow8rs and responsibilities that
are documented and approved by the Board.
A certain level ()f investsnents will be in cash and similar
inveslmenls. the key criteria being that they are
acTrssible at short notice. Every effort will be rnade lo
maximise interest whilst following thèse criteria.
The Appointments and Rernuneration Committee also
considers and recommends to the board the iernuneration
of the CEO. Deputy CEO & Director of Finance. Director of
Poliey & Research and the OireGtorof Education & Training.
This involves a ￿VIeW of the Tharketpla￿ to allow
benchrnarking to take place and consideration of the roles
and responsibilities of ea¢h post
Other investments wi51 be in assets that do not need lo
be sold qEJick]y. An overall investment strategy will be
adopted with consid8r3b.on of investing in such assets
as equities and properties.
Any major capital investmènt over £75k requires Trustee
approval and should be supported by a business case and
with appropriate professional advicè.
The day to day running of HFMA is delegated by the Board
to the CEO and Senior Management Team. Senior
Management Team meetings take place montrly.

REPORTOFTHETRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 3oJUNE2021
Each week there is a whole-organisation meeting where the
CEO leads a briefing with contribub.ons from across the
organisation
the operations of the organisation to manage the impact of
Covid-19. The rnanagement of this risk led to all HFMA'S
staff tnoving to working from home, all face lo frdce events
were cancelled or moved to being run as virtual events and
the conference centre 110 Rochester Row was closed.
The 13 branches have their own volunte6r branch
executives usually comprising a Branch Chair, a Branch
Treasurer and a Branch Secretary.
The Business Continuity planning ensured that the impact
of Govid-19 was managed and HFMA was able lo start the
year from 1 July 2020 having fully pivoted the business
model. This included mitigations around cost being put in
place to bring the expènditure of the Charity down to match
a prudent estimate of incorne going forward frtsm 1 July
2020
The year to 30 June 2020 was the last year of the 2017-20
strategy. Due to the irnpact of Covid-19 it was determined
that the years to 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2022 would be
years where the focus wouk1 be on suNival and 18set. The
next three-year strategy will be developed in early 2022 and
will cover the three years from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2026.
Although ihese mitigations give the Board comfort that the
risk around the impact of Covid-19 is being rnanaged
appropriately. the risk of further negative impacts on income
still exists notably at 110 Rochester Row 8nd so this is still
seen as the major risk that the Charity needs to manage at
the time ol writing this report.
Each strategy is communicatèd to èvery member of HFMA
and further details can be found on HFMA'S website
W￿.hfma or
uk. As usual the annual business plan lor the
year ahead was also agreed as were individual business
plans for each branch_
There is a Scheme of Delegation which states the level of
authority required for decision rnaking and expenditure. This
15 considered by the Trustees each year and amended lo
reflect changès required to allow the smwlh running of
HFMA.
Each line of incomelproject is monitored on a regular basis
and each Manager has specific responsibility not only for
the short-term management ol the risk profile but also for
the long-temi prognosis of these individual income lines.
Physical risk is cOVe￿d by specific systems lor example in
IT recovery and backup, emergency procedures and the
piovision of comprehenswe insurance for assets and
personnel.
HFMA is committed to r￿rUl￿"n9 Trustees with appropriate
skills and talents. Vacancies for Trustee and other
commrttee posts are adverts.sed widely to the membership.
The Business Continuity Plan is kept up to date and is
designed to ensure under any eircumstance HFMA can
maintain its operations.
The Appointments and R&rnuneration Committee consider
the applications and they Select Trustees on the basis of
established crileria. New Trustees rèceive lull induction
from the Chief Executwe and regulady attend HFMA run
GPD (Continuing Professional Developmentl sessions
throughout the year.

RISK MANAGEMENT
RSM VK Audit LLP and Audit Stsulh West NHS Audit
Consorbum provid8d audit services.
The Association regards the rnanagement ol risk as a key
issue wrthin its overall operating frarnework. A risk ￿gIster
is rnaintained and is considered regularly throughout the
year by management, by the Audit and Finance Committee
at each of its four meetings during the year and is annualty
presènted and reviewed by the Board of Trustees.
BRANCHES
The 13 regional branches form an integral part of the
Association. The branches havè the powers to run training
and education events for the benefit of branch members_
Branch f￿ndS a￿ used to underwrite training and educabon
OppOr￿nItieS and support local research initiatives.
Monthly rranagemenl accounts and related information is
produced and along with a progiamme of scrutiny by
Inlemal auditors. this provides the infomation the
executives and trustees require to run the charity and gives
the assurance required for the Board to fulfil its role in terms
of risk and assurance management.
AUDITOR
A resolution proposing that RSM UK Audit LLP be
reappointed as statutory auditor of the Charity will be put to
the Annual General Meeting in December 2021.
The Group's key business risks are around its income due
to the fact that. unlike most membership organisations, a
very small amount of inwme is derived frorn membership
subscriptions. Therefore, HFMA relies on othèr sources ol
income to fund its rnembership actwities. In recent years
these sources ol non-membership income have diversified
significanuy. thus spreading the operational risk.
The Trustees Report and tre strateg￿ Report contained
within it were approved by the Board on 2 November 2021
and signed on its behalf by".
