HIGHLIGHTS OF 2022

Over the year, we were proud to serve the fundraising community and develop our support for members across the UK. Our highlights of the year include:

ACROSS OUR ORGANISATION

Membership

2022 was a challenging 12 months for the fundraising community. Charities faced the two-fold challenge of coming out of the pandemic, combined with a cost-of-living crisis that put greater pressure on both services and donors. During such a challenging environment, it was even more critical that we supported our membership community to come together and support each other.

We continued to represent an engaged and supportive professional fundraising community, comprised of individual fundraisers, organisational charity members and corporate partners. We had 4,970 members at the end of the 2022 (2021 – 5,092), despite the cost of living crisis putting pressure on our members finances. Our members remained at the heart of our work and fundamental to our collective success.

Our new series of networking forums for organisational members across all sizes of charity helped to bring charities together, share best practice and help raise more money for good causes. Our new exclusive member webinars, podcast series and partner forums also helped to share best practice and champion our members' views and values to government, media, regulators, and other external audiences.

Policy and public affairs

Throughout 2022 our work in policy and public affairs was centred on representing and guiding our members through a continuing time of change and challenge. With the end of social distancing, fundraising was able to return in theory to previous ways of working, but the reality of the situation was very different with charities contending with significant changes across society impacting a ‘return to normal’ in fundraising.

During 2022 we became ever more mindful of the impact of the cost of living on fundraising and giving, and curated a ‘Cost of Living Hub’ on our website to help our members access the research, trends, and case studies which helped to inform their strategies and activity. This was supported with a range of accessible online webinars, done in partnership with a range of organisations, to share insight and hear from experts across the sector. With our ‘Yearbook’ collection of expert articles and resources we provided members with a range of insight and thought-leadership to help them plan future strategies.

We also continued to represent our members’ priorities and views through engagement on and responses to legal, regulatory, and sector policy consultations including a Call for Evidence on the Fundraising Regulator’s Code of Fundraising Practice.

A core part of our policy work is the production of best practice guidance to support fundraisers and charities across the UK. This year we updated and refreshed our guidance on Trustees & Fundraising, as well as producing a brand new version for Trustees & Fundraising in Scotland. We also published new spotlight pieces focusing on involving children in fundraising, truth & accuracy, and sharing stories.

2022 saw us take on responsibility in the UK for the global giving campaign, Giving Tuesday. Following a smooth transition of the campaign into the Chartered Institute, we were delighted to run Giving Tuesday in November 2022 and see the day trending #1 on Twitter and that more than £20m was raised. Our Giving Tuesday campaign was also complemented with a range of learning and development resources for charities on digital fundraising skills.

Events

Following stakeholder engagement and successful trials during 2021, measures were taken to further enhance the safety and inclusiveness of Chartered Institute events. This included the roll out of safeguarding training for staff and volunteers and a comprehensive review and refresh of our people policies and guidance.

We were delighted to curate and host the first post-pandemic Fundraising Convention in-person in the year, supported by our volunteer Convention Board. Over 1,600 delegates from across the UK and overseas attended the Barbican Centre for a three-day programme of learning, inspiration and networking.

A range of one-day conferences were hosted in London and Birmingham covering diverse specialisms including Legacy and In-Memory giving, Trusts fundraising, and the Future of Fundraising. These were complemented by our Supporter Experience and Fundraising Festival online events to make relevant content more accessible.

In addition, support was provided for volunteer-led in-person conferences in the Midlands and Scotland alongside a suite of regular UK-wide networking meetings.

Remember A Charity

In 2022, legacies proved once more to be a vital component in driving longer-term income, giving the sector much-needed resilience. Remember A Charity played a key role not only in championing the legacy message to the giving public, government and partners, but in supporting our members with their legacy fundraising. We increased our offering of peer-to-peer learning opportunities in the year, launching a monthly webinar programme, Legacy Bulletin and developing our customisable promotional legacy assets, enabling each member to create their own tailored legacy materials and messaging.

CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF FUNDRAISING ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

As we work towards our goal of growing the legacy market – a mission that no single charity can achieve alone - our 2022 consumer benchmarking survey charts the long-term rise in legacy giving behaviour, with 20% of charity supporters aged 40+ saying they have left a gift in their Will, up from 14% ten years earlier. Those who are aware of Remember A Charity are almost twice as likely to have left a gift in their Will (32%) than those who aren’t (17%).

Over the years, Remember A Charity Week has become a pivotal moment in the calendar, unifying the sector and our partners around the legacy message. This year, celebrities Jennie Bond, Janet Ellis and Len Goodman all served as legacy advocates on broadcast radio and TV and – in the case of Janet – also fronting a series of 1- minute ‘How To’ videos with her distinctive warmth and engaging style. These videos accrued more than 200,000 views on YouTube alone and, together with our nostalgic Tomorrow’s Science Today campaign and members’ WILL YOU assets, helped attract 113,000 new visitors to the website. While the sad news of the Queen’s death broke during Remember A Charity Week, curtailing some promotional activity, we relaunched our PR and consumer digital campaign later in the month. Our social media advertising continued through to December and reaching 1.8 million people in our target age group (50+).

Professional development

Providing high quality training, learning, and qualifications to fundraisers so they can make the biggest difference for their causes is integral to our role as a Chartered membership organisation. Over 2022, we:

Apprenticeship End Point Assessment activities were concluded as planned in April following a strategic review. However, our supporting offer to training providers delivering the Level 3 Fundraiser apprenticeship continues. The Chartered Institute provides an opportunity for learners that have passed their course to APELA against the CIOF Level 3 Foundation Certificate. Following piloting this opportunity for over 12 months feedback is positive; the fee is c.£110 per learner and includes 12 months of CIOF Individual Membership and administration of the APELA process. Via this new route 66 Foundation Certificate in Fundraising graduates celebrated success in 2022.

RAISE Programme

We continue to deliver RAISE activities, a programme funded by Arts Council England to promote private investment and philanthropy, to support and develop fundraisers working in arts and culture. A bid to extend delivery of the programme by 6 months was approved and the programme is now due to end in September 2023. The Cultural Sector Network volunteer group is actively supporting delivery activities in partnership with another non-Chartered Institute volunteer-led group Young Arts Fundraisers.

Rebuilding Heritage

Rebuilding Heritage activities continued through 2022, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. 25 organisations had 1-2-1 consultancy sessions involving over 40 staff and trustees and over 120 individuals attended a fundraising focussed webinar. We also delivered 4 fundraising articles to be published as part of the programme and 5 people from 10 organisations participated in a 6-week programme of Action Learning Sets to solve issues around fundraising.

Public Fundraising Services

In 2022 we restarted the Private Site Mystery Shopping Programme following the pandemic. By the end of the year, we were attempting 100 Private Site Mystery Shops across standard regular giving and lottery to provide members a value for money service and provide external reassurance in the continued high standards of public fundraising.

In addition to continuing to manage the various site management systems to ensure good relationships with councils and local areas that supports a continued sustainable basis for public fundraising we also started a levy review which in ongoing and a benchmarking exercise which we are preparing to release to members in 2023.

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) remained a priority for the Chartered Institute and our members throughout 2022. We integrated EDI into the strategic planning for the organisation recognising our role in leading on this agenda as an employer, membership organisation and across the profession in order to support the need for fundraising to be safe, more diverse and bring greater creativity and breadth to both the Chartered Institute and the wider fundraising industry.

We have committed to work with our members to champion, challenge, and improve EDI across the fundraising community and lead sector-wide initiatives which improves the culture of fundraising and promotes fundraising as a career.

Through our newsletters and member forums we continued to promote our recruitment guides, advocating inclusive ways to recruit fundraisers. We also revised our own recruitment practices, targeting our advertising to reach wider and more diverse audiences, offering opportunities to apply by video instead of just one traditional application route and providing candidates with interview questions in advance so that they are able to perform their best at interview.

Volunteers

As a volunteer-involving organisation we partnered with over 500 volunteers in a mix of governance, advisory and community-engagement roles in 2022. We continue to engage them in the design and delivery of our strategy, and through shaping opportunities which support and equip a diverse fundraising population.

During 2022 many volunteer Groups arranged in-person and regular online events, always seeking to champion equity, diversity and inclusion.

We are grateful for the skill, experience and commitment of all of our volunteers which allows us to extend our reach and in turn, enables them to develop as leaders and influencers within the sector.

Independent Review

In early 2022 we commissioned an Independent Review into the organisational response to historic concerns and complaints of sexual harassment. The reviewers started their work in April 2022 and have provided us with regular updates on progress. Following initial interviews and assessment of all the available evidence, the independent reviewers decided that for the review to be robust and make sure everyone could take part, a wider request for participation was made in the autumn of 2022. As a result, the independent reviewers needed more time to consider additionally gained insight which will ensure a thorough investigation and comprehensive conclusion and recommendations is presented to the Independent Working Group and the Board. We are planning to publish the findings in 2023.

As part of our commitment to being a safe and inclusive organisation where the safety and experience of our members is paramount, we continued to focus on ensuring that our events, both online and in-person, were inclusive, from the way we curated our content to ensuring all speakers, sponsors and delegates committed to

CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF FUNDRAISING ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

our Code of Behaviour at Events. To further support our staff and volunteers we also developed and delivered specific online and offline training focusing specifically on safeguarding and EDI.

In June 2022 we introduced a new anonymous reporting system called Spot. This system allows us to provide access to an anonymous platform that supports whistleblowing, safeguarding and complaints being raised to a central location and managed by the Head of Professional Conduct. The system also supports case management, antiharassment and bystander training.

People and culture

The Board formally delegates day-to-day management to the Chief Executive. The Chief Executive leads an Executive Leadership Team made up of an Executive Director Finance & Resources, Executive Director People & Engagement , Executive Director Membership & Charitable Giving.

We would like to thank all the staff who worked with us over the last year for their hard work and commitment.

FUTURE PLANS

In 2022 the Chartered Institute launched its new three-year strategy for 2023-25.

The passion and commitment of our members to learn, share, and deliver for their causes raises billions of pounds a year through skilled and ethical fundraising. Our ambition is to ensure that our members can navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead with success. We know that when fundraisers achieve, everyone benefits from the supporter who is inspired and fulfilled through the act of giving a donation, through to the person who is able to access the support a charity can offer because of the income a fundraiser has brought in.

The priorities are:

Looking at our plans for 2023:

CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF FUNDRAISING ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The financial results of the charity’s activities for the year to 31 December 2022 are set out in the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows and supporting notes. The income was £4,228k (2021: £3,868k), an increase of £360k. The total expenditure was £4,471k (2021: £4,132k), an increase of £340k. We ended the year with a deficit of £243k compared with a deficit of £264k (as restated) in 2021. A surplus had been budgeted in the year and although there was increased spend due to additional activity, staff costs were tightly controlled in 2022 and marginally lower than in 2021. However, income came in lower than budgeted, with growth post-pandemic not coming through as expected, leading to the deficit.

The charity’s unrestricted free reserves were a deficit of £154k as at 31 December 2022 (2021: deficit of £50k as restated). It should be noted that the cash balance was £1.25m. The reason for reserves being considerably lower than cash is a policy of deferring income. In 2022, £892k income already received was treated as deferred income (2021: £810k) – see note 12. Other unrestricted reserves have been specifically designated to provide for future depreciation of fixed assets and for work of the Special Interest Groups. Further information on the Chartered Institute’s funds is contained in note 14 to the accounts.

Going Concern

The Trustees have assessed the charity’s financial position, its plans for the foreseeable future, the risks to which is it exposed and the future cashflow projections and budgets. Building on the new strategy and taking note of the external environment in which we work, the Trustees are satisfied that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

At 31 December 2022, the balance sheet shows a cash balance of £1.25m (2021: £815k). Cash flow forecasts have been prepared which show that this cash balance is sufficient to meet the ongoing requirements of the CIOF including the loan capital repayments, with budgets showing a similar level of cash at the end of 2023. The implementation of the new strategy is expected to strengthen our financial position in the longer term.

Reserves Policy

The nature of the Chartered Institute’s activities means that the majority of income is received in advance, notably from membership, training and events. This not only provides the Chartered Institute with high levels of working capital but also allows the charity to adapt future plans based on income secured to manage risks. At the end of December 2022, income received in advance (reported in the creditor balance) totalled £892k (2021: £810k).

As a result of the analysis of income received in advance, the dynamics of the current business model and acknowledging the challenging external environment, the Board of Trustees has adopted a risk-based reserves policy. This policy takes high and medium risks established as part of the annual planning process and feeds them into the budget for the year to provide a composite picture of the overall impact of retained risk on free reserves. This approach is designed to enable the retention of sufficient free reserves to fund unexpected expenditure when unplanned events occur that cannot be managed through revisions to in-year plans.

Following a review of the risks to which the charity may be exposed to in its plans, the Board of Trustees considered that the Chartered Institute should hold minimum free reserves of £300k. This would allow the Chartered Institute to operate as effectively as possible and to implement its new strategy commencing in 2023. After excluding restricted and designated funds, the free reserves of the charity amounted to a deficit of £154k at the end of December 2022 (2021: a deficit of £50k as restated) which is below the desired minimum level of reserves. This reflects the significant reduction in income in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19, the investment in a new CRM system and a new website and the challenging economic environment in 2022 as the world returned to the “new normal”. The Trustees plan to rebuild the free reserves to the required level over the next three years through setting a strategy for income generation and careful monitoring of expenditure.

Investment Powers and Policy

Under the Royal Charter and Byelaws, the charity has the power to make any investment that the Trustees see fit. The Trustees delegate the management of investments to the Finance and Resources Committee. Excess cash funds are held on short- term deposits.

Risk Assessment

The Trustees have a process of continuous risk assessment that examines key areas of risk at quarterly Trustee meetings. The Chief Executive is tasked with reporting to the Trustees about the implementation of agreed systems to manage identified areas of risk. The Trustees are satisfied that the major risks to which the Chartered Institute is exposed have been reviewed and systems have been established to manage and mitigate the impact of those risks.

The Trustees have identified the following key areas of external and business critical risk to be considered by the Trustees of the Chartered Institute of Fundraising moving into 2023:

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE & MANAGEMENT

The Chartered Institute of Fundraising is governed by Royal Charter. It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission and the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator.

Appointment of trustees

Eight Trustees are elected by the membership and are announced at the Annual General Meeting. Up to four further Trustees may be co-opted at any time.

Elected Trustees serve a term of three years and may be appointed to serve for one further term. The four coopted Trustees shall retire after one year, unless reappointed. Each co-opted trustee shall be eligible for reappointment up to a maximum term of six years in total.

CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF FUNDRAISING ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

Trustee induction and training

All new Trustees are issued with a full set of documents covering governance, the committee and decisionmaking process, the business plan and recent financial performance of the charity and are given a full induction by the Chair and staff team.

The Trustee away days focus on the strategic direction of the Chartered Institute and involves the organisation’s Senior Leadership Team.

Organisation

The Board convenes every quarter for a meeting that examines performance, finance, strategy and risk. The Board of Trustees continues to move towards the standards set out in the Charity Governance Code and has been taking action to address specific identified weaknesses where necessary.

The Board has also noted NCVO’s Charity Ethical Principles.

Clearly laid out responsibilities are defined for the Trustee body. Delegated powers are given to the Finance and Resources Committee to provide oversight of finance, HR, IT, investments and property matters, and to the Nominations and Elections Committee to oversee the trustee election and nomination processes.

The Finance & Resources Committee is chaired by the Honorary Treasurer, and the committee is composed of a mix of Trustees and non-trustees appointed for their technical skills and experience.

The Board has set up a series of advisory and functional committees to support the staff in the day-to-day running of the Chartered Institute. These are:

The Board formally delegates day-to-day management to the Chief Executive, Katie Docherty. The Chief Executive leads a Executive Leadership Team which is made up of the Executive Director Finance & Resources, Executive Director People & Engagement , Executive Director Membership & Charitable Giving.

Staff remuneration

Trustees set the salary of the Chief Executive, using benchmarking and other data to inform their decision. The Chief Executive, in consultation with the Board and Finance and Resources Committee, sets the salaries of all other staff, using benchmarking and other data to review pay levels.

Fundraising

Whilst the Chartered Institute of Fundraising promotes best practice amongst fundraisers, it does not raise funds from the general public itself and as such is not required to be registered with the Fundraising Regulator. From time to time, we will apply for funding from grant-making bodies, trusts and foundations and we may use a professional fundraising agency to support our employees with this.

CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF FUNDRAISING ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

Public benefit statement

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit.

The Trustees ensure that its purposes are carried out for the public benefit by delivering services to enable those with fundraising responsibility in the charity sector to develop and adopt best practice, thereby promoting a transparent and efficiently managed charity sector that engenders public confidence and trust. Further, by supporting those in the charity sector with fundraising responsibility, we are able to help all charities to maximise the use of their resources and make a greater impact for all their beneficiaries.

The services that we deliver cover our strategic objectives as set out. Many of these services are open to all, for example training courses and conferences can be accessed by non- members, whilst our policy and campaigning work also benefits those in the wider fundraising community. Chartered Institute of Fundraising membership is open to any organisation, people employed by a charity or business with responsibility for, or an interest in, fundraising, and who are happy to sign up to comply with the Code of Fundraising Practice and our own Code of Conduct. The Chartered Institute provides a range of bursaries and scholarships to support access to our services.

All Trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no remuneration nor any other financial benefit from the charity in relation to their role as Trustees. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 7 to the financial statements.

Trustees’ responsibilities

Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity and of its financial activities for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with relevant legislation. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity, and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities. The Trustees confirm that the accounting policies adopted are in accordance with the Charities Act 2011, and with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.

CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF FUNDRAISING INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF FUNDRAISING

Opinion

We have audited the accounts of the Chartered Institute of Fundraising (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2022, which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows, the principal accounting policies and the notes to the accounts. 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 accounts:

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 accounts section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the accounts 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 accounts, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the accounts 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 accounts 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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the accounts and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the accounts does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the accounts, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the accounts or our knowledge obtained in 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 there is a material misstatement in the accounts or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

11

CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF FUNDRAISING INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

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 Act 2011 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts 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 accounts that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the accounts, 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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the accounts

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the accounts 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 accounts.

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 is detailed below.

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

• the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; and

• we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the charity and determined that the most significant frameworks which are directly relevant to specific assertions in the financial statements are those that relate to the reporting framework (Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011) and those that relate to data protection (General Data Protection Regulation).

12

CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF FUNDRAISING INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the accounts is located 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 charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and with regulations made under section 154 of that Act and in accordance with Section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and Regulation 10 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the 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 charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF FUNDRAISING

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1. Accounting policies

a) Statutory information

The Chartered Institute of Fundraising is incorporated by Royal Charter (RC000910) and is a charity registered in England and Wales (1188764) and Scotland (SC050060).

The registered office address is Canopi, 7-14 Great Dover Street, London, SE1 4YR.

b) Basis of preparation

These accounts have been prepared for the year to 31 December 2022.

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) (Charities SORP FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note. The accounts are presented in sterling and are rounded to the nearest pound.

c) Public benefit entity

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

d) Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement

Preparation of the accounts requires the trustees and management to make significant judgements and estimates.

The items in the accounts where these judgements and estimates have been made include:

e) Going concern

The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these accounts. The Trustees have made this assessment in respect of a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these accounts.

f) Income

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ 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 and is not deferred.

Income from membership, corporate support, sponsorship, exhibitions and advertising is credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when earned. Income from training courses is credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when the course commences. All other items of income are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they are received.

Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

17

CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF FUNDRAISING

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

g) Donated goods and services

Donated goods and services are included at the value to the Chartered Institute i.e., the value the Chartered Institute would have paid in the open market. The majority of these gifts in kind are donated venues and meeting hosting, and free marketing and advertising.

h) Investment income

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

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the relevant fund.

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

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

Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

k) Allocation of support costs

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 on the following basis, which is an estimate, based on staff time, of the amount attributable to each activity.

l) Operating leases

Rental charges are charged on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

m) Intangible fixed assets

Intangible fixed assets comprises of computer software enhancements on the Chartered Institute’s database and website and compliance training platforms, which are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £500. Amortisation costs are allocated to activities on the basis of the use of the assets. Assets are reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate their carrying value may exceed their net realisable value and value in use. Amortisation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life, which has been calculated as 4 years.

n) Tangible fixed assets

18

CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF FUNDRAISING

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

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:

Office Equipment 4 years Furniture and Fittings 4 years Land and Buildings remaining life of the lease Leasehold equipment remaining life of the lease(s)

o) Debtors

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

p) Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash 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.

q) 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. Income received in advance for goods or services that accrue in future periods are deferred and recognised as a liability.

r) Pensions

The Chartered Institute operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Chartered Institute. The Chartered Institute makes contributions to the pension scheme in accordance with its obligations under the Pensions Reform Regulations. All amounts paid by the charity are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as incurred.

s) Tax policy

The Chartered Institute is exempt from Corporation Tax as its income is raised charitably and spent on its charitable purposes.

Designated Funds

Regional & Special Interest Groups

The funds relate to income and expenditure arising from our network of National, Regional & Special Interest Groups. These funds have been ring-fenced for application by the Regional & Special Interest groups as needed.

Fixed assets (tangible and intangible)

This fund reflects the carrying value of the charity’s tangible and intangible fixed assets represented by unrestricted funds. The balance has been set aside on the understanding that these assets are fundamental to the day-to-day operations of the charity and therefore cannot be realised in order to meet working capital requirements.

Restricted Funds

Remember A Charity

Remember A Charity is the Chartered Institute’s long-term project to increase legacy giving to charity.

Scotland Office

The Chartered Institute receives grants from the Scottish Government for the purpose of funding our activities in Scotland. This is also complemented through other earned income generation activities and subsidised through a contribution from Chartered Institute of Fundraising central unrestricted funds to cover the costs of activities in Scotland.

Arts Council England

In April 2018, the Chartered Institute was appointed as a National Portfolio Organisation by Arts Council England and commenced delivery of the RAISE programme to support fundraisers and fundraising organisations in the cultural sector. Working with the Chartered Institute’s Cultural Sector Network, in partnership with Young Arts Fundraisers and other stakeholders, the four-year programme aims to support excellent fundraising practices and shared learning throughout Arts, Culture and Heritage organisations across England.
