REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

b. Method of appointment or election of Trustees

The Officers of Council - Chair and Vice Chairs - are elected annually by the Council. An election to Council is held annually in which up to one third of Council are obliged to stand down. They may be re-nominated by Council. Any three Corporate Members may also nominate a qualifying Corporate Member. A postal ballot of all Corporate Members is held where the total number of nominations exceeds the number of vacancies.

The appointment of officers and election of Council is governed by By-laws 40 to 46 of the Institution's governing document. The Honorary Treasurer shall be elected to the post annually by Council.

c. Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees

New members of Council are inducted with the appropriate NCVO guidelines.

d. Organisational structure and decision making

Organisation and Structure

To ensure the efficient use of the elected Councillors a Board and Committee structure is in place which involves the commitment of as many of the elected Councillors as possible in the ongoing affairs of the Institution. A small permanent staff headed by the Secretary is employed by Council to deal with the day-to-day administration of the membership, Engineering Council registration matters, the publication of the Institution's journal Engineering Designer, financial matters and the administration and organisation of its course and conference activities.

Events since the end of the period

Information relating to events since the end of the period is given in the notes to the financial statements.

Staff

As the financial year closed the Institution employed three full-time and three part-time members of staff, including the Secretary. Mr David Osborne - Accounts Officer, Mrs Linda Parry – Membership Officer, Mrs Nadine Pearce - PA to the Secretary, Mrs Jo Winslow - Education and Training Officer and Mrs Denise Watson - Administrative Assistant, continue to give the Institution invaluable service.

The Secretary's remuneration is set at annual review by the Trustees.

Wider network

At present the Institution does not consider itself to be part of a wider network.

Engineering Council/EngineeringUK

The Institution's relationships with the Engineering Council and EngineeringUK remain the most important of all its relationships with other charities and organisations. The Institution continues to work closely with both bodies, Mr Neil Phelps represents the Group B college on the Engineering Council Board and other members of Council represented the IED as Liaison Officers and on the Engineering Council's Quality Assurance Committee (QAC).

The Design Society

The Design Society is an international body dedicated to promoting the best in design practice and education. The Institution has co-operated with the Society in the past and the two bodies again came together to collaborate during 2021 as partners in the very successful Engineering and Product Design Education Conference, a virtual event hosted by VIA University College, Herning, Denmark for the second year in a row.

The Royal Academy of Engineering

The IED continues to work to the Diversity Concordat, with a view to working towards encouraging membership from a wider range of backgrounds. The Secretary also sits on the ‘Professional Engineering Committee' administered by the Academy and the Academy’s National Engineering Policy Centre. In addition, members of the IED contributed to reports drawn up by the Academy during the year and the Secretary was invited to Chair the EECG (Engineering Ethics Coordination Group), an ongoing project overseeing the implementation of the recommendations of a report into ethics in engineering.

THE INSTITUTION OF ENGINEERING DESIGNERS

REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

The Society for the Environment

The Institution has a licence to award Chartered Environmentalist (CEnv) status to suitably qualified and experienced members and during 2021 gained an extension to that licence to award Registered Environmental Practitioner grade (REnvP) to suitably qualified members. The Secretary and a volunteer member continue to serve on the Council and Registration Authority of the Society.

e. Risk management

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. Key risks include: loss of licences from Engineering Council and Society for the Environment, loss of key members of staff, loss of tenants at Courtleigh, lack of income from sponsors, seminars or registrations, fire or flood. These and other risks are included on a risk register, with mitigation, actions, response and responsibilities allocated accordingly.

Objectives and activities

a. Policies and objectives

Mission Statement

We work to inspire, develop and promote professionals working in engineering and product design. Setting standards and competencies for our members who advance and progress society by providing technical products and solutions.

Objects

The main objects of the Institution are to:

We review our aims, objectives and activities each year. This review looks at what we achieved and the outcomes of our work in the previous 12 months. The review looks at the success of each key activity and the benefits they have brought to those groups of people we are set up to help. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.

Notes:

  1. The remaining supporting objects are printed in the Royal Charter of the Institution, a copy of which is available on request from the Institution's Headquarters tel: +44 (0) 1373 822801, email ied@ied.org.uk.

b. Strategies for achieving objectives

Strategy

The Institution's Strategy Document is updated on an annual basis following review by the Council. This document provides the basis from which the objectives in the Mission Statement are developed for the furtherance of the Institution.

Risk review

The Council has conducted its own review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. Significant external risks to income have led to the development of a strategic plan.

REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

c. Activities for achieving objectives Significant activities

Due to the global Covid-19 pandemic, many of the Institution’s projects were delayed whilst working practices, communications and IT were all updated to allow staff and volunteers to carry out their roles in a Covid-secure manner.

However, the following progress has been made:

d. Volunteers

Other than trustees, assessors and committee members the Institution does not rely on volunteers.

Achievements and performance

a. Review of activities General Progress

Objectives

The main objective for 2021 was to continue to provide membership and registration services and support to IED members in the midst of a global pandemic. The development and delivery of a new website, magazine and wider communications plus the delivery of online assessments and course accreditations and the launch of the Project IED initiative were all achieved during this difficult period.

Membership

The fluctuations in membership over the period covered by this report are as follows:

Dec 2021 Dec 2020
Fellows 161 166
Members 1,334 1,403
Students(includingOU) 2,346 4,904
Affiliates 20 21
Total 3,861 6,494

During 2021 there was an effort made to clear up the legacy Student members – those who had graduated a few years previously but had not upgraded to Member. Every effort was made to contact these students and offer them free upgrade to Membership of the IED – those who did not respond were cleared out of the system, giving a much more accurate figure regarding membership going forward. Efforts are being made to attract more Member grade professionals to replace those coming to the end of their careers.

THE INSTITUTION OF ENGINEERING DESIGNERS

REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Continuing Professional Development

The 'MyCareerPath' CPD scheme run by the Engineering Council has been available to IED Members since 2013 with all new members encouraged to enrol. The competencies for MIED, CEnv, CTPD and RProdDes have been uploaded to the system. The Engineering Council have introduced mandatory CPD monitoring for all PEIs. The IED developed a monitoring and feedback process to meet this requirement which was further refined in 2021. 10% of registrants were randomly sampled and asked to provide up-to-date CPD records for the previous 12 months, of these 10% were reviewed by the Membership Committee and feedback given to responders.

Publications

A further four issues of Engineering Designer were published during the period covered by the report. Once again the policy has been to publish as many articles written by members as possible covering a wide range of subjects. In addition to automatic circulation to its members the journal remains available by subscription and is circulated free-of-charge to a number of educational establishments. The journal is available electronically to all members including those who live internationally and non-paying students.

Charitable activities

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many of the IED's activities had been put on hold with many developing under new practices and procedures. However, the following still took place:

The IED works with a number of other bodies to further the promotion and development of Engineering and Design:

Other Activities

The Institution either ran or participated in the following events during the year:

Branches

The Institution supports thirteen branches across the UK plus three overseas branches in Malta, Hong Kong and Malaysia.

Volunteers

The Institution continues to rely heavily on member volunteers to assist in its activities, particularly in the following areas:

THE INSTITUTION OF ENGINEERING DESIGNERS

REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

The membership database contains details of those members who have agreed to undertake interviews of potential and existing members or who act as mentors in respect of the following requirements:

There are thirteen volunteers on the Membership Committee and fifteen volunteers on the Education and Training Committee.

b. Investment policy and performance

The trustees are currently satisfied with the investment performance of the assets and at present do not have any plans to expand its portfolio or feel it necessary to dispose of those currently in use.

c. Factors relevant to achieve objectives

The trustees have made a full assessment of the internal and external factors that may affect these financial statements and do not deem any factors material enough to have an impact.

Financial review

a. The statement of financial activities (page 11) shows that for this year there was a surplus of £45,082 (2020: deficit of £21,028).

Total resources expended amounted to £276,369 (2020: £302,708).

b. Reserves

Total reserves amounts to £367,353 (2020: £322,271). General reserves (excluding restricted and endowment funds) stand at £353,463 (2020: £307,021).

It is the IED's policy that unrestricted funds not presently committed or invested in tangible fixed assets should not be designated for specific future expenditure.

Restricted reserves stand at £13,890 (2020: £15,250).

Free reserves (unrestricted reserves not tied up in fixed assets) are currently in deficit. The Trustees have a three-tiered plan to address this situation, with management of expenditure to help minimise the immediate gap, intermediate plans to realise some of the assets that are within Courtleigh and longer-term plans to raise capital for the development of the Institution in the not too distant future.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The timing of receipts of subscription income means that working capital requirements can fluctuate significantly during the year. The Institution has access to both short term (overdraft) and medium-term funding (loans) to address this. It also has longer term (realisation of asset) plans in place.

c. Principal funding

The Institution's principal source of funding is its subscriptions from its members.

REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Plans for the future

Future developments

The new standards for professional registration and course accreditation for CAD and Product Design and Engineering will be rolled out during 2022.

Project Courtleigh will see phase 1 of the project come to fruition.

Project IED will introduce a number of new initiatives and services to members and improved communications across the board.

Gift Aid

The Institution approached members asking them whether they would be prepared to sign a gift aid declaration so that income tax relief could be claimed on their subscriptions, Benevolent Fund contributions and Education Fund contributions

STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that year.

In preparing these accounts, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE INSTITUTION OF ENGINEERING DESIGNERS

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 10 to 24.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination being a qualified member of the ICAEW.

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

THE INSTITUTION OF ENGINEERING DESIGNERS

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

1 Accounting policies

1.1 Basis of preparation

The Institution of Engineering Designers is a registered charity in England / Wales established under Royal Charter. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information at the start of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are set out in the Trustees Report.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102 1A) issued on 16 July 2014 (as updated through Update Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charites Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The timing of receipts of subscription income means that working capital requirements can fluctuate significantly during the year. The Institute has access to both short term (overdraft) and medium term funding (loans) to address this. It also has longer term (realisation of asset) plans in place. Accordingly the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.

1.2 Incoming resources

Subscription income from members is accounted for in the period to which it relates. The institution also receives advertising income in respect of its journal and rental income in respect of its freehold property. These are accounted for on a receivable basis.

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity has entitlement to the funds, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

1.3 Resources expended

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular activities they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of the resource.

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

1.4 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets other than freehold land are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

Freehold land is not depreciated

Freehold buildings nil Plant and machinery at varying rates on cost

THE INSTITUTION OF ENGINEERING DESIGNERS

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation (continued)

The accounting policy for the depreciation of land and buildings has been changed during the prior year. No depreciation is provided on land and buildings with an estimated useful life in excess of 50 years as the entity has a policy of maintaining the property in good condition therefore prolonging its useful life and any depreciation involved would not be material. Due to this policy, the building maintains a residual disposal value at least equal to its book value.

1.5 Leasing and hire purchase commitments

Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible assets and depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the profit and loss account so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.

1.6 Stock

Stock is valued at the lower of cost and selling price less net realisable value.

1.7 Pensions

The charity operates a defined contributions pension scheme. Contributions are charged in the accounts as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.

1.8 Funds

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

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes.

1.9 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amounts due. Prepayments are valued at the amounts prepaid.

2.0 Creditors

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.
