REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2021 CHAIR’S INTRODUCTION AND CEO UPDATE

Introduction

The past two years have been ones of tumultuous change. The challenges that CIHT and other organisations have faced from responding to COVID-19 is unlike any we have ever known. Trustees have worked closely with the Executive staff over this period to ensure the Institution responded quickly and effectively.

CIHT has adapted to the new operating environment and embraced momentous change in the way we work and deliver services. Going forward, we anticipate and welcome some return to more traditional engagement and face to face activity. However, this will continue to be complemented and enhanced by the extended use of digital media.

The commentary provided in the Board of Trustees report highlights some of our key achievements during 2021.The Institution could not have achieved all it has done without the unstinting efforts of members who give their time and attention to the work of the Institution. In this respect, the work of the regions and devolved nations in the UK and the international groups in the Republic of Ireland, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Dubai, and Qatar, should be recognised. In addition, many members contributed by serving on the Council, Strategic Boards (Committees) and working groups of the Institution. The Trustees are grateful to the volunteers and their employers for allowing their staff to undertake this work in the interests of the profession.

During the last 12 months, we also conducted extensive consultations with our membership and other key stakeholders on a vision for CIHT and a definition of our strategic priorities over the medium term. This led to development of the new CIHT corporate strategy (CIHT 2022+) which was signed off by Council in November 2021. Three over-arching themes underpin the delivery of our strategy. These are Climate Action; Professionalism; and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI).

With the support of our members, in collaboration with our partners, I believe we can deliver real and longlasting change across our sector for public benefit.

REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2021 CHAIR’S INTRODUCTION AND CEO UPDATE

CEO Update

The scale of disruption that came in the wake of COVID-19 was both unpredicted and unprecedented. From the outset, CIHT moved quickly to stay ahead of the curve, controlling costs, deferring planned investment and adapting our operations to support members and other stakeholders .

In the face of this challenge, we have sought to expand our range of activities to extend our scope and influence and offer more resources including improved support related to professional and career development to members. We have learnt that we are resilient and, more importantly, we can adapt rapidly to shifting priorities in a still uncertain world by reaching out and remaining relevant to our members and partners.

Key to our thinking has been the need to ensure financial sustainability. Excluding movements related to use of restricted or designated funds, the Group has achieved a net year-end general fund surplus of £128K (£237k in 2020) or £340k (£344k in 2020) including the gain in the value of our investment holdings. As detailed in the accounts which follow, the Institution retains a healthy balance sheet with a level of free reserves that exceed the minimum requirements sought in our reserves policy and a robust cash position. CIHT does not have any outstanding loans since we cleared our mortgage on Britannia Walk in 2018. We have also set aside a programme of use for the designated funds to enable the Institution to invest in its capability and general infrastructure, so it is best placed to take advantage of new opportunities going forward.

Increasing the use of technology has been a central feature of our work during this period. We have provided enhanced digital content including an expanded range of online CPD events, podcasts and videos. We have revamped our resource webpages to provide additional member only content that includes an increased selection of technical articles, downloadable publications, an updated CIHT Options offer and accessible conference materials.

During 2021, we have worked on the development of a new digital learning platform (CIHT Learn) that we expect to launch in April 2022. CIHT Learn will enable members and other users to undertake professional learning and development at their convenience (24/7), offering access to a range of courses and programmes delivered in short bitesize chunks that can fit around home and work. Our new digital learning platform has the potential to transform the way in which we support our members and other stakeholders to develop skills and competencies and manage their ongoing Professional Development.

2022 has also seen the launch of a new and improved Transportation Professional journal with additional accessible content and features in response to members’ requests to see an enhanced offering. In addition, we are reviewing our member services and will be launching other new benefits in 2022.

COVID-19 also had a major impact on us as an employer. In line with government advice, our staff have been able to work remotely from home when required during 2021. We moved swiftly to support and facilitate a shift to home-based working and worked with our IT provider to ensure all staff was equipped to work remotely. We sought to increase our internal communications and hold more frequent staff meetings using online platforms such as MS Teams and Zoom. In 2021, we consulted staff upon the introduction of new flexible working contracts that embed scope for some hybrid working as a future norm. By introducing flexible working, we strengthen our ability to be an attractive and competitive employer that will enable us to thrive in competitive markets.

Over this same period, we have also sought to mobilise alternative ways of supporting our volunteer base. Examples include the use of webinar technologies to conduct professional reviews and deliver online meetings/ events, and enhanced use of central IT systems to promote events, enable bookings, administer payments, collect income and manage finances.

2

REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2021 CHAIR’S INTRODUCTION AND CEO UPDATE

In summary, over the last two years, CIHT has digitised at a pace previously unheard of. Understanding what we have been able to achieve online and by working remotely has been a revelation. We have emerged from this experience as a fitter organisation with the knowledge that we can do things in ways we never thought possible, reaching our members and markets in new and exciting ways. We face the future with optimism and confidence in the knowledge that the commitment and support from our Board of Trustees and volunteers will enable us to flourish and develop for our members’ and the public’s benefit.

REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2021 TRUSTEES’ REPORT

Trustees’ Report for year ended 31[st] December 2021

The Institution is a Registered Charity in England and Wales (1136896), a Registered Charity in Scotland (SCO40873); a registered charitable body in the Republic of Ireland (20103989) and incorporated by Royal Charter. The CIHT executive staff team normally operate out of a central office located at Britannia Walk near Old Street in London. Since March 2020, the office has been closed in line with government guidance on social distancing and all staff have worked from home, returning to the office (in combination with home working) for a short period in Summer 2021, before the office was closed again, in line with government guidance, towards the end of the year.

The Board of Trustees of the Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation (CIHT) presents its Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.

Objectives and Activities

The Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation was formed on 1 January 2010 following the Grant of a Royal Charter by the Privy Council. (The former Institution of Highways & Transportation was a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee founded in 1930 as the Institution of Highway Engineers). The objects of the Institution are to advance for the public benefit the science and art associated with Highways and Transportation in all their aspects; and to promote education, training, and research and development of the said science and art.

The charitable powers of the Chartered Institution are set out in its Royal Charter and Byelaws dated 30 October 2009. The Institution aims to achieve its objectives by promoting good practice amongst its members, through programmes of meetings, conferences, seminars, and publications, providing routes to Chartered and Incorporated Engineer, Engineering Technician, the SoRSA Certificate of Competency and Chartered Transport Planning Professional; and providing a forum for consultation on all matters affecting Highways and Transportation. The Institution promotes debate in all areas affecting the discipline of Highways and Transportation.

CIHT provides strategic leadership and support to help our members develop, deliver, and maintain sustainable solutions for highways, transport infrastructure, and services that:

In November 2021, CIHT’s Council signed off a new medium-term strategy ( CIHT Strategy 2022+) which highlights our strategic priorities over the next five to ten years which are to:

In addition to our priorities, we have three overarching themes; Climate Action ; Professionalism ; and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI)

REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2021 TRUSTEES’ REPORT

Delivering public benefit

All our charitable activities are to advance for the public benefit the science and art associated with highways and transportation in all their aspects; and to promote education, training, and research and development of the said science and art. Success for the Institution is defined in terms of developing the knowledge, skills and effectiveness of members of the Highways and Transportation profession, and in influencing the development of policy and best practice in the field. Performance is measured in terms of increasing numbers availing themselves of existing provision, and the development of new ways of working to support these aims. In addition, the Institution continues to provide advice and guidance to the industry and stakeholders in accordance with its objects.

Membership of CIHT is open to applicants who meet the relevant professional criteria. Lower rates are charged for retired members, graduates, part-time students, and associate members whilst special concessions are offered in cases of personal change of circumstance, hardship, or unemployment. Full-time students and apprentices are offered membership free of charge.

Regional and national technical events and seminars (some of which are free of charge) are open to nonmembers to attend. The work of the Institution at a UK level is focused on developing, promoting and disseminating good practice and excellence in areas such as Transport Planning, Climate Change, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, Road Safety, Sustainable Transport and Innovation for the public good. CIHT continues to contribute to skills development by its work on offering routes to professional qualifications and by developing our approach to continuous learning and embedding this as an essential requirement for a skilled and effective workforce. Its achievements and performance set out below provide a more detailed account of CIHT’s contribution to the industry in pursuit of its charitable objectives.

The Trustees have referred to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission in determining the activities undertaken by the charity.

2) Influence the future

Raising the profile

CIHT members play key roles in policy and technical developments across highways and transportation. Through working closely with members and influential stakeholders, CIHT shapes the decisions that affect our society, environment, and economy.

CIHT has continued to raise its profile through expanding its communication activities. In looking to highlight the variety of initiatives that the Institution is involved in, CIHT has been appearing and commenting in a wide range of media including broadcast, podcasts, online and print.

We continue to be a leader in Equality Diversity and Inclusion. Activities have included the promotion of our Diversity and Inclusion toolkit and Charter, that now has over 71 signatories. The toolkit is available online. Employers are being encouraged to sign up to this charter to help the industry recruit, retain and develop a more diverse workforce. During the year, consultants were appointed to help CIHT develop a new EDI strategy and action plan that was formally signed off in November 2021.

REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2021 TRUSTEES’ REPORT

CIHT developed an action plan to implement its Climate Change pledge. This is a core activity for CIHT and is influencing many of the outputs and projects that have taken place. In 2021, we have worked with an Advisory group to identified priority actions that align with addressing targets in the action plan.

We delivered a significant number of events. There were around 100 digital events run by our regions and nations that had almost 7,000 delegates attend. From a Britannia Walk perspective, we ran 34 events that were attended by over 2,500 attendees.

We value and encourage our next generation of members and have a vibrant and impressive regional, national and international network of emerging professionals who are committed to being active and influential within CIHT. In December, we held our 2-day digital young professionals conference that looked at ‘What’s on the Horizon?’ for tomorrow’s transport professionals. Our inspiring early career professionals are the future of the sector and we will continue to support them to broaden and deepen their knowledge, experience, and professional commitment.

Our 2021 Awards was a digital only event and we attracted many high-quality entries that are now available for members to view as case studies on the CIHT website. The shortlisted entries and winners were announced at a virtual Awards event.

CIHT hosted various roundtables with stakeholders, such as our Partnership Network, which looked at issues including resetting the skills agenda, social value and climate change.

REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2021 TRUSTEES’ REPORT

Future plans

Key foundations that will underpin the delivery of the three strategic aims and three underpinning themes set out in CIHT Strategy 2022+.

Regions, nations and technical groups

CIHT regions, nations, and technical groups will be at the heart of delivering our strategy. They support members individually, provide local services and engage with governments and regional bodies on strategic issues.

International focus

We have members across the globe and will continue to deliver on our international strategy. We will collaborate with our international counterparts on shared agendas.

Member services

We will continue to extend our offer to members by investing in digitally enabled platforms, including CIHT Learn, our new digital learning platform, so that they can receive more personalised support services. This will also help us achieve our aim of cutting carbon emissions. We will enhance accessibility to our services and ensure members have plenty of opportunities to network digitally or in person.

Diversification of income base

We will continue to diversify our financial resources to ensure we are not overly reliant on membership subscriptions. We will do this by developing our training offering, events and additional services. We will regularly review our investment portfolio to optimise returns and provide a sustainable income base.

Research, technical and policy

We will continue to develop and deliver quality thought leadership through research, technical and policy pieces to advance the art and science of highways and transportation and build our influence and impact.

Governance

We will continue to strengthen succession planning across CIHT by encouraging more members to become actively involved in governance. We will review the skills, knowledge and competencies needed to be a progressive professional body and evolve our structures to remain relevant in a changing world.

Volunteering

We will be clear on what opportunities are available to members to become more actively involved and what they can expect from us through our volunteer strategy. We will provide training and support for volunteers so that they feel valued and able to contribute to the delivery of our work.

Business planning

We will continue with a three-year business planning cycle to enable the delivery of our strategy, including the prioritisation of actions, strong financial reporting, effective monitoring of performance and alignment of resources to ambition.

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy

We will build on our achievements to date to drive the EDI agenda more consistently and with greater pace within the membership and across the sector.

Climate Action

We will continue to develop our leadership role and support to members through training, influencing and evidence-based research in response to the UK government’s objective of a Net Zero carbon emissions economy by 2050 (2045 in Scotland). We will also seek to become a net zero organisation by 2027.

REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2021 TRUSTEES’ REPORT

Structure, governance, and management

The Institution is a Registered Charity in England and Wales (1136896), a Registered Charity in Scotland (SCO40873) and incorporated by Royal Charter. In June 2017, the Institution was also approved as a registered charitable body in the Republic of Ireland (20103989). With the grant of Royal Charter by HM the Queen at the end of 2009 the Royal Charter and Byelaws became CIHT’s governing documents. CIHT’s members (individually and via the regions) elect the Council of the Institution, and the Council in turn appoints the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees is responsible for directing the affairs of the charity and ensuring it is solvent, well run and delivering the charitable outcomes for which it has been set up. It is the policy of the Institution to give a full briefing and guidance to new Trustees on their duties and responsibilities, and to ensure that they have a strong understanding of the issues and risks facing the Institution in achieving its objectives. All Trustees are given induction training each year and access to other training on an ongoing basis. The Board of Trustees has four strategic Boards reporting to it.

Those four Boards are:

The Audit Committee meet with CIHT’s External Auditors twice a year to review the Audit Plan and to receive the Audit of the Annual Accounts and the Management Letter and reports back to the Board of Trustees on the findings and management response.

All profits of the trading subsidiary, Appian Trading Limited, are transferred to the charity through Gift Aid to ensure that funds for the Institution’s activities are used efficiently.

In June 2021, following approval from the Privy Council to enact changes to our Royal Charter and Byelaws, the new governance rules were implemented. Key changes included:

Good Governance Guide

Since the Charity Governance Code was launched on 13 July 2017, CIHT has utilised the Code as a framework to support development of better practice. Trustees acknowledge that the charity is best placed to fulfil its vision, mission, and strategic goals if it has effective governance in place. To date, the charity's Board has established a solid foundation in governance in which all its members are clear about their legal responsibilities as Trustees.

10

REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2021 TRUSTEES’ REPORT

In conducting operations, CIHT seek to operate in line with the seven principles and recommended practice set out in the Charity Governance Code. CIHT already has several of the Code’s measures in place. These include:

Trustee remuneration and pay policy for senior staff

The key management personnel of the charity comprise the non-executive Board of Trustees and the Senior Management team. The Board of Trustees has ultimate responsibility for directing the affairs of the charity and ensuring it is solvent, well-run and delivering the charitable outcomes for which it has been set up. Day to day operational management of activities is delegated to senior management of the charity.

The Board of Trustees comprises a group of 13 elected members drawn from the CIHT Council. They do not receive any remuneration for volunteering their time and expertise. Details of Trustees’ expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in Note 5 and Note 20, respectively.

A Staff and Remuneration Panel has delegated authority from the Trustees to set pay and benefit levels for all staff members including the CEO and Directors. The Panel comprise the Chair, President, Vice President, Immediate Past President and Hon. Treasurer, and is advised by the CEO.

Staff pay is reviewed annually considering national salary data information from ONS, current inflation rates, London average fare increases, the economic situation in the industry which the Institution serves, and the current finances of the Institution. Every four years the Institution benchmarks against pay levels in other charities of a similar size. In 2021, we introduced a new form of employment contract for staff that enables flexible working arrangements.

Investment funds

During 2021, CIHT has invested surplus funds into two holdings:

The objective of our investment holdings is to maximise returns within reasonable and prudent levels of risk as set out in more detail in CIHT’s Investment Policy. At the end of 2021, the value of our investment holding over the year increased by 17.3% reflecting an annual gain of £212k (In 2020: value increased by 9.6% or £107k). This performance compares favourably to the annual rise in Consumer Price Index (CPI) which was 5.7%.

11

REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2021 TRUSTEES’ REPORT

Reserves policy

CIHT maintains reserves to enable the Institution to fulfill its objectives and to implement the Corporate Plan as well as ensuring the provision of liquid resources representing four months’ operating expenditure estimated as £1,029k based on the 2022 budget. In addition, contingencies may arise due to the long-term nature of the Institution’s activities which may need funding out of reserves in the event of unforeseen circumstances.

As of 31 December 2021, free reserves (which includes designated funds and is defined as Current Assets plus Investments less Current Liabilities and less Restricted Funds) stood at £2,030,576 (2020: £1,869,839). Excluding designated funds (set aside for specific purposes and outlined in Note 15 of the financial statements), net free reserves totaled £1,792,396 (2020: £1,650,601).

Going Concern

The Board of Trustees has carefully reviewed the financial position of the CIHT group, including financial projections for 2022 and 2023, and are satisfied that there are sufficient funds at the date of signature of the financial statements to manage any foreseeable downturn in the UK and global economy. The Board having reflected on the level of liquid reserves held also considers that there is a reasonable expectation that CIHT has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and for these reasons the Board of Trustees continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing financial statements

Use of voluntary assistance

The Institution relies upon the support of many members contributing their own time in the operation of its activities both within the nations, regions, and groups and at Britannia Walk (BW). It is not possible to quantify in financial terms the benefits derived, but all such voluntary assistance is gratefully acknowledged. As indicated below, the ongoing engagement of volunteers is perceived as a medium risk faced by the Institution.

Fundraising

At two of our larger annual events (i.e. the Annual Awards and Annual Luncheon) and occasionally at Regional dinners, attendees are invited to make charitable donations to the CIHT Foundation. This has been set up to provide grant assistance for projects, research or other activity that fits with our charitable objects. The CIHT Foundation is accounted for as a restricted fund and its operation overseen by the Board of Trustees who receive an annual report detailing funds that have been collected by the fund through charitable donations and how these funds have been deployed in line with the stated aims of the CIHT Foundation. In 2021, no funds from charitable donations were collected.

Fundraising is not a material source of raising income for the Institution and we do not engage in use of third parties. There has been no non-compliance with the Fundraising code and no-concerns, or complaints received.

12

REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2021 TRUSTEES’ REPORT

Statement on Risk Assessment

Overall responsibility for risk management rests with the Board of Trustees who manage the process through formal reviews at board meetings and via the Audit Committee. Day to day responsibility is delegated to the Executive team who identify and evaluate risks that relate to their areas and manage the mitigation plans accordingly.

In 2021, Trustees endorsed a move to adopting use of a new Strategic Risk and Assurance framework that seeks to group together key risks over five areas and forms the basis for overseeing the management of strategic risks faced by the Institution.

REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2021 TRUSTEES’ REPORT

Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The laws applicable to charities in England, Wales and Scotland require the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and the group and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Royal Charter and Byelaws, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and the provisions of the charity’s constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

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 United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF HIGHWAYS & TRANSPORTATION

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation (the ‘parent charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial activities, the group and parent charity balance sheets, the consolidated statement of cash flows and the notes to the financial statements, including 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 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.

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 on The Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation'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 trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

17

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF HIGHWAYS & TRANSPORTATION (CONTINUED)

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees 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 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.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees’ responsibilities set out in the trustees’ annual report, the trustees 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 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 trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF HIGHWAYS & TRANSPORTATION (CONTINUED)

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and report in accordance with regulations made under that Act.

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 are set out below.

Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:

19

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF HIGHWAYS & TRANSPORTATION (CONTINUED)

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

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

This report is made solely to the parent charity’s trustees as a body, in accordance with section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the parent charity’s trustees 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 parent charity and the parent charity’s trustees 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 December 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 STATUTORY INFORMATION

The Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation is a charitable company limited by royal charter in England and Wales. The registered office address and principal place of business is 119 Britannia Walk, London N1 7JE.

1.2 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). The charity and its subsidiary are a public benefit group for the purposes of FRS 102 and therefore have also prepared the financial statements in accordance with the 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 (The FRS 102 Charities SORP) and the Charities Act 2011.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity and group to continue as a going concern. The Trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the Trustees have considered the charity and group’s forecasts and projections. After making enquiries the Trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity and group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charity and group therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

These financial statements consolidate the results of the charity and its wholly-owned subsidiary Appian Trading Limited on a line by line basis. Transactions and balances between the charitable company and its subsidiary have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements. Balances between the two entities are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

The financial statements are presented in pounds sterling as this is the functional currency of the group. The accounts of non-sterling branches are translated into sterling. Income and expenditure items are translated at appropriate average rates and monetary assets and liabilities at the rates at the balance sheet date. The currency gains and losses are taken to the unrestricted funds.

1.3 INCOME

Income is included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable unless it relates to a specific future period, in which case it is deferred.

Income from government and other grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

24

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2021

1.4 EXPENDITURE

Expenditure is recognised in the period in which it is incurred. Expenditure includes attributable VAT which cannot be recovered.

Expenditure is allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. However, the cost of overall direction and administration of each activity, comprising the salary and overhead costs of the central function, is apportioned based on an estimate of staff time, of the amount attributable to each activity.

Support costs relate to premises costs which are allocated on floor area basis; other costs are allocated in proportion to income. Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity. These costs are associated with constitutional and statutory requirements and include any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity’s activities.

Branches / regions are accounted for on the accruals basis, other than branches which are treated as affiliates for accounting purposes which are not consolidated.

Monetary assets and liabilities and transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.

1.5 TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:

Building core 50 years Long leasehold land not depreciated Leasehold improvements 25 years Office equipment and furniture 5 years Computer equipment 3 years

Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £500. Depreciation costs are allocated to activities on the basis of the use of the related assets in those activities. Assets are reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate their carrying value may exceed their net realisable value and value in use.

1.6 INTANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS AND AMORTISATION

Amortisation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The amortisation rates in use are as follows:

Database and website 5 years Development learning platform 5 years

1.7 FUND ACCOUNTING

Restricted funds are to be used for specified purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is identified to the fund, together with a fair allocation of management and support costs.

Unrestricted funds are donations and other income received or generated for the charitable purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes.

1.8 INVESTMENTS

Fixed asset investments are stated at market value, where market value represents the mid-market value on the last trading day before the year end. Gains and losses arising on investment assets, whether realised or unrealised, accrue to the fund for which the investments are held.

25

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2021

1.9 STOCKS

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the price at which stocks can be sold in the normal course of business after allowing for the costs of realisation.

1.10 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 estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

1.11 PENSIONS

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charitable company in an independently administered fund. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable under the scheme by the charitable company to the fund. The charitable company has no liability under the scheme other than for the payment of those contributions.

1.12 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

With the exceptions of prepayments and deferred income all other debtor and creditor balances are considered to be basic financial instruments under FRS 102.

The year end carrying value of financial assets and financial liabilities, measured at amortised cost, was as follows:

Financial assets measured at fair value
Financial assets measured at amortised cost
Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost

The year end carrying value of financial assets that are equity instruments, measured at cost less impairment and relating to the charity only were £100 (2020: £100). This balance relates to the investment in the subsidiary company, Appian Trading Limited.

1.13 ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The key judgements and estimates used in the preparation of these financial statements are as follows:

There are no other key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
