## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)". 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The Institute’s charitable objectives are (1) to advance the education of the public concerning credit management and to encourage the study thereof. (2) to establish a hardship fund for the benefit of members or former members of the institute allowing the institute to make payments and/or assist such members or former members or their dependants who are in conditions of need hardship or distress. 

The main activities undertaken in relation to these objectives are: 

- Being the centre of expertise for credit management. 

- Raising awareness of the impact of late payment and working with government and other business bodies to drive a change in culture 

- Gaining universal recognition that sound credit management is vital to business. 

- Maintaining relevant and up-to-date qualifications and occupational standards. 

- Making best practice advice available to business and the wider community 

- Being recognised and respected as the voice of the profession. 

- Supporting the career development of all people who work in credit management. 

- Improving skills and standards through a growing membership. 

- Continuously improving its products and services and being the first-choice provider. 

- Promoting credit management through local, national and international networks. 

The trustees have  paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

During 2021 the Institute: 

- Development of the first Professional Standards for credit and debt management professionals. 

- Civil Enforcement Association (CIVEA) recognition achieved for CICM Level 2 Award in Taking Control of Goods and Level 3 Award in Advanced Enforcement. 

- Institute of Apprenticeships and Training Education (IfATE) approval for the inclusion of the CICM Level 3 Diploma in Credit and Collections in the Level 3 Advanced Credit Control/Debt Collection Specialist Apprenticeship Standard and retention of CICM Level 3 and Level 5 Diplomas within the Level 3 and Level 6 Compliance and Risk Apprenticeships. 

- Qualification Wales agreement achieved for the inclusion of a credit management pathway incorporating CICM qualifications in the Welsh Level 2 and Level 3 Apprenticeships in Providing Financial Services.

It helps to identify areas for development as well as recognition of what we do well.

## **CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF CREDIT MANAGEMENT** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

- First virtual class for level 3 Advanced Business Communications unit commenced in February for a cohort from BT. Includes learners from India, Spain, and Italy. 

- Widened potential trainer pool with targeted advertising, securing meetings with 6 trainers to agree provision and terms. 

- Created and delivered the first Virtual British Credit Awards, which was streamed online. 

- Implemented ‘phone app’ for members renewal payments and associated marketing. 

- Created a library of new marketing assets contributing to our increasing social media presence and clearly identifying our brand. 

- Launched an ‘open and member only’ exclusive resource on KnowledgeHub. 

- Online launch of Development Partner programme model. 

- Launched a podcast library as new resource for members and partners. 

T he Institute measures its achievements and performance using a range of KPIs and SLAs. These include but are not limited to the analysis of membership numbers, measurement of member retention rates and targeted response times to member contact. Activity on social media channels is also keenly measured, and the Institute monitors coverage by third party organisations of its activity. 

## **Financial review** 

The net expenditure of the group for the 12-month period was £309,261, increasing total charity funds to £1,147,401 at 31 December 2021. The trading subsidiary returned a profit of £305,041 which was gift aided to the charity. 

Reserves Policy: Much of the income received and generated by the Institute is of an unrestricted nature, but certain restricted funds and reserves are recognised within the accounts. It is the Institute’s policy to retain a level of general reserve that takes in to account future capital investment, unexpected maintenance expenditure and, in the event of a winding down of the Institute’s activities, sufficient reserves to develop, deliver and award the Institute’s qualifications. At 31 December 2021 the level of general reserve of £149,681 was below the level deemed to be sufficient to meet these criteria. The Trustees fully recognise and are committed to closing this shortfall by restricting capital investment to essential needs together with careful cost management over the next 5 years. 

Benevolent Fund: This was set up by the Institute to help members or former members of the Institute, or their dependants, in need, hardship or distress. Applications for assistance are considered by a Benevolent Fund Committee which is comprised of four Vice Presidents (previous Chairs) of the Institute. Payments totalling £1,430 were made during the period. 

Branches: The branches are funded partly by the Institute and partly by fundraising activities carried out by the branches themselves. There has been minimal activity during 2021 due to the pandemic. 

Funds in IICM: This is surplus funds donated by the IICM on its winding up and is ring fenced for development 

of the Ireland branch of CICM. 

Investment Policy and Returns: Under the Institute’s Charter and By-laws the Executive Board has the power to invest, as it thinks fit, any monies not immediately required after considering the Charity’s future spending commitments and planned capital investment. Current investment policy demands a proportion of surplus funds as designated by the trustees from time to time are held in readily realisable investments designed to generate a return in the short to medium term that will at least maintain the real value of the asset.

## **CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF CREDIT MANAGEMENT** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

The Institute has a wholly owned subsidiary, CICM (Services) Limited, which provides credit related services including training, events and the supply of learning materials. The accounts show the consolidated position of both companies. The subsidiary gifts all of its profits to the charity. 

As a means of meeting its principal objectives, the Institute runs branches throughout the United Kingdom. Each of these branches is a geographic grouping of CICM members who elect a committee to promote the Institute at local level, to provide meetings of an educational and training nature, to encourage the exchange of professional views between people working in credit management and to provide a network of help, advice and support. Members of branch committees act in a voluntary capacity and operate within guidelines set by the Executive Board. In relation to the activities of the Institute as a whole, the £ value of the voluntary work is not a significant percentage. 

The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year  and up to the date of signature of the financial statements  were: 

G Bullivant (Treasurer) 

L Coltman 

V Herd P Holbrough D Nolan (Chair) P Rice 

None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up. 

The charity provides qualifying third party indemnity insurance for the benefit of directors and trustees. 

The pay and remuneration of key management personnel (Chief Executive) is determined by the trustees taking into account performance and benchmarked data for the sector. 

## **Auditor** 

In accordance with the company's articles, a resolution proposing that Azets Audit Services be reappointed as auditor of the company will be put at a General Meeting. 

The trustees'  r eport was approved by the Board of  Trustees.

## **CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF CREDIT MANAGEMENT** 

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

The trustees, who are also the directors of Chartered Institute of Credit Management for the purpose of company law,  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). 

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 charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year. 

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

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 Companies Act 2006. 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.

## **CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF CREDIT MANAGEMENT** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF CREDIT MANAGEMENT** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Chartered Institute of Credit Management (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the Group Statement of Financial Activities, the Group & Parent Charitable Company Balance Sheet's, the Group Cash flow Statement  and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including 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 and Parent charitable company's affairs as at 31 December 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, 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 for opinion** 

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

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the 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 charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

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

## **Other information** 

The other information comprises the information included in the 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 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.

## **CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF CREDIT MANAGEMENT** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF CREDIT MANAGEMENT** 

## **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 require us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees' r eport; or 

- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the  s tatement of trustees'  r esponsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose 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 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. 

## **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 report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. 

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. 

A further description of our responsibilities is available on  the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: http s :// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report. 

## **Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud** 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above and on the Financial Reporting Council’s website, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. 

We obtain and update our understanding of the entity, its activities, its control environment, and likely future developments, including in relation to the legal and regulatory framework applicable and how the entity is complying with that framework.  Based on this understanding, we identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.  This includes consideration of the risk of acts by the entity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.

**CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF CREDIT MANAGEMENT** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

Chartered Institute of Credit Management is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is The Water Mill, Station Road, South Luffenham, Oakham, Leicestershire, LE15 8NB, United Kingdom. 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document,  the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The  financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the  charity .  Monetary a mounts  in these financial statements are  rounded to the nearest £. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the  trustees have  a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees  continue  to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity. 

## **1.4 Income** 

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. 

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset. 

Membership fees received by the charity are recognised on receipt.   A provision is made in the accounts for the costs associated with providing a monthly magazine to members for the remaining period of their membership. The element of the membership income that relates to training is recognised when the training is delivered.

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

**(Continued)** 

## **1.5 Expenditure** 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with use of resources. 

(i) Expenditure by subsidiary includes training & educational services expenditure. 

(ii) Services to members expenditure includes membership, examinations, Credit Management magazine, advertising, committee services and publicity expenditure. 

(iii) Branch activities include all branch expenditure. 

- (iv) Benevolent Fund expenditure includes Benevolent Fund grants and scholarships. 

- (v) Support costs are those incurred in connection with services and administration enabling the day-today functioning of the charity. 

- (vi) Governance costs include relevant legal, trustee, committee and audit expenditure. 

## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets  are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. 

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: 

Freehold land and buildings 2% straight line Fixtures and fittings 15% straight line Computers 25% straight line 

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in  net income/(expenditure) for the year. 

## **1.7 Fixed asset investments** 

Fixed asset investments  are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date.  Changes in fair value are recognised in  net income/(expenditure) for the year . Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. 

## **1.8 Impairment of fixed assets** 

At each reporting end date, the  charity  reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any ) . 

## **1.9 Stocks** 

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and  estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell . Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the  stocks to their present location and condition. Items held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured the lower of replacement cost and cost. 

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution. 

## **1.10 Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## **1.11 Financial instruments** 

The  charity 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  charity 's  balance sheet  when the  charity 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. 

## _**Basic financial assets**_ 

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. 

## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ 

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future p aymen ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. 

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of  operations  from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_ 

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the  charity ’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. 

## **1.12 Leases** 

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessees. All other leases are classified as operating leases. 

Assets held under finance leases are recognised as assets at the lower of the assets fair value at the date of inception and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The related liability is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are treated as consisting of capital and interest elements. The interest is charged to net income/(expenditure) for the year so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. 

## **1.13 Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the Institute. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the Institute which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. 

Restricted funds are donations for which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the Institute's work.

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
