Achievements and Performance

Review of activities

This review covers the twelve month period from 1 January to 31 December 2024.

Much of our work in 2024 took place within the National Scientific Committees.

The Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) Committee celebrated the pivotable role it played in the UK's decision to ratify UNESCO's 20023 Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage, which became effective in June 2024. The Committee held a successful consultation workshop to seek views on DCMS's proposals for ratification in February, which brought together leading experts in the field, community members and policymakers to discuss the topic at this critical moment. Its conclusions were forwarded to the Department for further consideration, and the Committee maintains its work on structures and processes for recording and submitting ICH practices to be included in the inventory. Throughout our work, there is a stronger emphasis on the relationship between tangible and intangible heritage, and the ways in which this will inform professional practice at all levels.

We established an Industrial Heritage Working Group in partnership with The International Committee for the Conservation of Industrial Heritage (TICCIH) which we expect to transition to a committee status during 2025. Extensive preparations for a major event in 2025, on 'Heritage in Transition: essential skills and approaches for sustainability' were led by the Education and Training Committee. The Development Committee launched ICOMOS-UK's first Photographic Competition with a call for photographs that captured the theme: 'Heritage at Risk: A Global Perspective'.

We also held a summer lecture on Upland farming, in which communities discussed the recent Dartmoor Review. The annual Christmas lecture was delivered by Will Palin at St Alfege Church in Greenwich, where he recounted his experiences leading heritage projects around the country. The Wood Committee continued to deliver fascinating insights into the field through its regular online lecture series. Individual members, meanwhile, continued to contribute to the work of the International Council through their participation in its programmes of research, consultation, and review.

ICOMOS-UK's work must reflect or respond to matters of current concern to members, the heritage sector, and to wider society. To do this most effectively, we made a series of internal changes during 2024, including to complete the restructuring of the World Heritage Committee. A small leadership group was established to deliver on core elements such as training, providing advice to World Heritage steering groups, succession planning, the development of good practice and engagement with the wider sector.

July 2024 saw Susan Denyer stand down from her role as Secretary to ICOMOS-UK, after more than 20 years service. She continues to offer her extraordinary expertise and insights though her international work. She was replaced as General Secretary by Dr Alison Hems.

Financial Review

Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

Reserves policy

The trustees aim to keep reserves sufficient to cover 2-4 months expenditure

Details of any funds materially in deficit

No fund of the Charity is in deficit

Trustees' Annual Report

Selection of Trustees

Selection of new trustees is made on the basis of particular expertise in a field relevant to the activity of ICOMOS-UK that will enable them to make a valuable contribution to the organisation.

Organisational structure and decision making.

The day to day management of the charity is provided by the secretary supported by an administrator and an events co-ordinator and conducted in accordance with the policy and guidance given by the Executive Committee.

Accounting responsibilities of the trustees

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the association and of the income and expenditure of the association for that period. In preparing these accounts the trustees

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

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of the International Council on Monuments and Sites, UK (charitable incorporated organisation number 1175871 ("the CIO")

I report on the financial statements of the CIO for the year ended 31 December 2024 which are set out on pages 6 to 13

This report is made solely to the charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in a Independent Examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the CIO and the CIO's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the CIO's Trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Act")

I report in respect of my examination of the CIO's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent Examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements - 31 December 2024

1 Constitution and objects

2 Accounting policies

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: 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 in October 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019.

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.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The name and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

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. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

2.3 Income

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Income Tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid is recognised at the time of the donation.

2.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of the resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use,

Notes to the Financial Statements - 31 December 2024

Accounting policies (continued)

Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with the administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Costs of generating funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the charity's educational operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities

All assets costing more than £500 are capitalised.

A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset my not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activity.

Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimate residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:

Fixtures and fittings 25% on reducing balance Computer equipment 25% straight line

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt, or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services that it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges.

2.10 Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
