INSTITUTE OF ADvAND MOTOR15fs LIMrrED REPORT OF THE COUNCIL (continued) The IAM Group's activities are focussed on achievement of the charitabk objects as set out above. The IAM Group seeks to do this, and thereby fulfil IAM'S publlc benefit quIrement, in the folbwing principal ways: I) IAM'S advanced driving test was launched in 1956 and an advanced test for motorcyclists was introduced in 1976. Through programmes delivered by IAM'S volunteer neOrK the skills taught and tested are constantly updated for the ever-changing features and challenges of the UK'S roads and vehicle technologies. By Improving awareness of hazards and risk and teaching best prattice techniques, IAM reduces the likelihoDJ drivers and riders will put themselves into a posltion of danger through error or omission. IAM Roadsmart groups exist throughout the UK, with volunteers delivering sUPPOrt and advi to drivers and riders seektng to improve their driving and ridlng skills, many of whom go on to pass the Test. SITr InptIOn, IAM has awarded advanced status to over 500,000 driver and riders. The IAM Group continues to serve the demand from professional driving organisation5 seeking to enhan their internal driver training programmes by accrediting them with the Advanced Driver qualification. 2) Lobbylng and original road safety research, together wlth publiclty using soclal and broadcast media and the press as well as direct communication to IAM Roadsmart Members are important features of IAM'5 work to promote road safety. Regular tips, blcxjs and press releases are also used to help all drivers and riders improve their skills a5 we seek to "infomi and influence" on road safety issues. Roadsmart Magane continues to reinforce IAN Roadsmart Members, knowledge and awareness of road safety issues. 3) The IAM Group offers drlver training for companies whose Workfor undertake business related drlvlng. Drive & SuNive training falls Into the following categories: lin checking to ensure that all drivers are legally able to drive andlor entitled to drive speclfic categories of vehicle; driver audlts and rlsk asse55rnents - to build a profile of drivers and test their basic road knowledge; e-learning - a package of training modules delivered on-line with each focussing on s¢if aspects of driving sklll. Content can be designed to meet specifK customer requirements- and on road training for drivers and riders who have been identified as having the ne for a more intensive intervention with a professional fleet trair. 4) Through DRA, the IAM Group offers retraining for offenders through delivery of drlnk-drive habIlltIOn scheme courses. htevements and The trustees and sentor management use seve1 indicators to monitor the perforn)an of the IAM Group including: A comprehensive Set of monthty key [erf0mn indutors including: membership numters and movements by type of memkr, dirett deblt members and those signed up for Gift Atd,. live Commarket Insuran wiides. sales of AdVand DriverlRider projrammes, modules and assessments; Test passes,.

INSTLr[E OF ADVANCED MOTORI¥fs LIMED REPORT OF THE COUNCIL (continued) OvwvÉwof the of the Cowd.19panden Plans for the year, tf)Jether wf(h KPI tsrgets and budgets, We devdoped by the sen Management Team and approved by Council in February 2020. Those plans Trpidly became outdated due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the associated trictionS and subsequent lockdowns. The Cov#J-19 panmiC together with government reStrOn5 and guidelines began to 5ignificantty impart the IAM Group during March 2020 and continued throughout the year. The restricknons on [pIe fKJm diffent households mting, combined with the worknng-from-home mandates severdy restricted rK)mal business activitEs. In the n{xIS where some of the restrictions were temporarily lifted, we were unable to restart many of those activities due to the ongoirrfJ UnrtaInty and remaining restrictions. The key IM on the IAM Grou$ actlvlties of the Covtd-19 pandemlc were: SUsnsiOn of Advanced DriverlRKJer cour5es' SUsnsiOn of on-road m¢(iules and courses in b(h IAM and Drlve & Survive and other activie5 suth as IAM'S Skills Days which are held at speaalist motor track sites. suspension of in-classroom DRA courses; extension of meMbehIp for AS51tes unable to take their Tests. downtum in re(TUitment of new A550ciate5 due to the unavailabilty of the progrdmme of obseNed runs qUir1 to prepare for the Tests; the closure of IAM'S Offi and the Ulment for stsff to work from home rather than the Offi for extended Feri¢)Js,' fudoughing of staff in accordance with the govemmenvs Coronavirus job support scheme; and the curtailment of activities in IAM Roadknrt group5. In addition, considerable resou had to iE devot&l to managing the caKellation of courses, and other tking5 a1 processing refunds for memLErs and ojstcfflers who had paid in advan. To deal wth the evofving nature of the Covid-19 pandemic and S impact on the IAM Group, the Council imFlemented weekly Mting5 Wlth Senior Management Team to discuss potential resp)nses including furkjugh arrdngements for staff and communication to IAM Roadsmart Memters, Assochites and customers, while the Senior Management Team inityally considered the Covid-19 chalienges on an almost daily basis. nancklI knnarios were prered to assess the potential financlal impart of the )ndern1c induding a Thje of dates for the ending of restrictions and the timescales ra]uired for tivf(ies to'ramp-up" to their prewous levels. These narIo5 and the tracklng of financial performan against them enabled an ongoing assessment to be made a5 to whether further deci5K)ns were needed to du costs. The above had a significant detrimentsl effect on the IAM Group revenue5, although associated cost Uttl05 and (3reftJl cost control, includirYJ the suspension of general performance relateAi MuneratIOn and Y rises during the year, together wf(h £0.29m of support from the govemmenvs Coronavirus Job Retention kheme for furloughed staff, and the abilty to deliver tAM DRA courses on-line, SUSSfUllY mitigated the impact such that the operating financial sUIt (excluding investment returns) was c105e to break-even while strong tUrnS from the investment portfolio kd to a Ix)ttom line surplus of almost £1.5m, as descriw below and in the Finanaal Review section of this t. To malntsln customer sery1 and supwrt to memiErs and customer5 to the extent wsslble In a pandemlc envlronmen¢ IT and telephony solutions such as online networknng and meeting software were successfully implemented to facilitate staff working from home. The Council expre5w its thank5 to stsff for demonstrating the flexibility to adopt new m(xies of worknng successfully in a stre55ful and challenging environment. IAMRoadSmart MemiEts andgroups IAM Roadsmart Member numbers fell during the year by 8,403 to 75,896 at 31 March 2021 {2020: PA,299). While the retention rate ftir existing members remained high at 89010 (2019120: 91%), the main reason for the large reduction in memters, cOMpad to cent year5, was the drop in new members to 1,698 (2019120: 4,974) whlch was attributsble to the suspenslon of the Advanced Driver and Rider programme and Tests resulting from the restrictions applicable during the Covid-19 pandemic. The proOn of members paying by direct debit increased to 68% while tl* proportion signed up for Gift Aid increased to 72%. Advanced Driver and Rider programme sales decreased to 2,235 (2019120: 5,457) due to the Covid-19 pandemic as it was not feasible to Sell on-road programmes where these could not be delivered.

Where Assock8tes were unatle to complete their Advan Driver or Rider programme or take their Test due to the Covid pandemk restrirtlons, IAM has extended their period of A55¢xiate membership beyoThJ the nomial renewal period of one year. IAM remains committed to its volunteer group network and will continue to develop and support strategEs to encourage LAM Roadsmart MeMr$ to participate in IAM Roadsmart group activities. "Infom" is a monthly update, supplemented by WklY news ale as requlred, dlstrlbuted to IAM Roadsmart group officials, examiners and observers, and is tAM's primary method of direct communication with them. As at 31 March 2021 there were 172 IAM Roadsmart groups in the UK {2020:181), of which 490/0 are car groups, 33Wo are bike groups and 18% are combined carlbike groups, with the reduttion in groups arising from merger5 beeen groups. The IAM Group's exclusive Insuran scheme, run by Cornmathet Insurance SeNT, continued to provide attracknve pricing and iruranCe coverage for IAM Roadsmart Membe. As at 31 March 2021, a totsl of 27,537 (2020: 28,647). member EM)licie5 were in for of which just under 78 % were for car or motorcycle InsunCe. Drlve & Survive Drive & Survwe's activities were impacted severely by the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions whlch prevented dellvery of on-road training and temporarily diminished customer aptIte for such training while economic activity was subdued, and customers, employee5 were furloughed. As a result, its revenues decreased by 620/0. In response, fttus was pla on promoting e-learning m(xJules which are included as part of the CHOICES offering which integrates lin checking, rlsk management and e-learning and have a hlgher gross margin perntage. The opportunity was taken to refresh e-leaming modules with enhanced video content and improved educational engagement as a basis for renewing sales campaigns as businesses recover from the Covid-19 pandemlc restrictions. After a drop in revenue in the initial months of 2020121 as dassroom-based Cour were cantrlled and Suspend1 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, DRA received the requisite authorisation from the DVSA and We15h Govemment and successfully transfomied to delivering its drink drive rehabilitation courses on-line so that rnonth revenues 0Vered 5harpty from August. This transformatKJn was supported by the efforts of the tAM Group's staff and DRA trainers and had the benefrt of delivering signrf1canY higher gr055 margins as the cost of hiring venue5 was eliminat1. 4,065 Individuals (2019120: 4,959) completing thelr drink drive rehabilitation course during the year. No impart from a redurtion in convicknons during Covid-19 kKkdown periods when there were far fewer drlvers on the road has b*n exrienCed to date although this MaInS a risk as convirtions and referrals neSarilY lag changes in driving acbvity. While conscious of that risk, the bu5ines5 rernains 11 placed to continue to tknefit from the busin&ss review undertaken last year with the numiEr of referrals from the courts totalling 7,078 over the year while the conversion rate for referffjEs Increas to 570/0, Research andlobbying De5piie the pandemic, IAM'S pollcy and research artlvltles continued apace during the year. We helFed launch the National Motorcydists Councll to promote safe and sustalnable motorcycllng and ensure its key position in the transport debate is secured, completed Department for Transport funded research on the opinions of older drivers, and participated in a Parliamentary Council on Transport Safety led report on the future policy for'alcolocks, in the UK which was also funded by the Department for Transport, IAN also psented a survey of pan European driving schools on training for autonomous vehicles as part of the ongolng EU funded "Drive 2 The Future. projett. During the year, IAM undertook suNeys and generted successful medla coverage on topics such as the revlew of the Highway Code, Smart MotoNays and returning to driving after lockdowns. IAM also joined the Department for Transport Road's Safety Delivery Group and participated in weral ministerial briefings. Driver andRts Training System (DARTS) The core phase of the IAM Group's new system for managing membership and training went live in November 2020. This replaced legacy 5y5tems that were at the end of their life, which did not adequately support the tAM Group's

The design, testing and implementation of the CO phase wa5 a complex project requiring input from several IAM teams including field servi delivery, membership engagement, commercial sales, customer care, marketing and finance and was led by the team reporting to a steering committee chald by the CEO. The migration of dats to DARTS provided the opportunity to cleanse and stsndardise data from existing systems reducing the need for manual intervention in preparing management reports and increasing their liabIlity. The cost of developing and implementing DARTS, excluding ongoing lince costs, was EO.40m of whlch £0.17m was incurred in the previous years. Those costs were wlthln the original projert plan parameters. Enhanments to deliver further improvements, including self-Servi funrtionality, marketing support and web-site integration are planned for subsequent phases of DARTS development with the aim of delivering maximum beneflts in tem15 of supporting marketing and sales,. member, assoclate and customer experien,. IAM Roadsmart group activities; and efficiency, thereby assisting the underpinning of IAM Group's attivities in line with LAM'S charitable objects. r subsidiaries IAM Drive & Survive and IAM DRA have net liabilities on their balances sheets at year end of £0.79m (2020.. £0.35m) and £0.17m (2020: £0.27m) resFectively. Both subsidiaries undertake activities which fall within the charitsble objects of IAM and are being supported by IAM. Ll During the year ended 31 March 2021, the IAM Group did not carry out any attivities to raise funds from the general public. nc The Group Statanent of Financial ArtNities on page 22 indicates a net surplus of £1.44m {2019120: £0.25m deficit). c1)Mpa to an OrInallY budgeted deficit of £0.42m. The 0rating result for the year (befo investment inc(xne and gain5 on the investment portfolio) was very close to bak-eVen with a deficit of £0.09rn which continue5 the favourable trend established in the pVIouS year when the operating was reduced to £0.18m from the mud) high deficlt levels experlenced In prevlous years. As indicated above, the finanaal results was heavlly Influen by Covld-19 pandemic related fartors aThJ althOh the budget for the year tecame obsolete as a result, the Council was nonetheless pleased to note the result compared favourably to the original budgeted operating deficit of £0.32m due to the mtiigating factors described under the heading '(erv of the impact the Covi&19 pandemic, in the'Achievements Perf0rnan section, above. Investment income and gains of £1.54m (2019120.. £0.07m loss) reflect strong gains throughout the year as markets welcomed governments, and ntral banks, responses to the initial impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The investment p)rtfoli05 have continued to deliver good returns Sin the year end. Overall revenues, excluding investsment Income the one-off benefft of the governmenys Corortavirus Job Retentton Scheme grant of £0.29m, decreased by 25.3% from the previous year for the reasons summarised under the heading 'Achievements and perfomiance, above. Membership subscriptions, including Gft Aid, decreased by 5.00/0 reflecting the decrease in IAM Roadsmart MemtH and Associate Member numbers, partialty offset by an increase in member subscription rates approved at the previous annual general meeting of IAM Roadsmart Members. Test fees from ASSclateS mem1rS decreased 58.70kn due to the decllne In sales of Athanced Driver/Rlder programmes. Drive & Survive revenues were severely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, declining 64.60/0 as on-road training aotivities were suspended and demand from commercial customers diminished, whtch frustrated the abilty of the refocussed saks team to build on the previous year's gains with enhanced produrt offerings. MitIng the reduction ITr IAM DRA revenues arising from the Impact of the Covld-19 pandemlc to 22.00/0 was a hlghly credible outcome flecting the transformathjn online of the delwery of drink drive rehabilitstion courses tcKJether with the continued impkmentation of the r&sults of the business review undertaken in the previous year.
INsfFfLffE OF ADVANCED MOTORIsfs LIMED REPORT OF THE COUNCIL (continued) IAM Cornmarket Insuran commissiors fell by 6.0% as the number of polKies held by IAM Roadsmart MemiErs continu1 to decline which was disapwinting. PDS, which continues to generate net income but is not regarded as a core service offering, saw a 30.50/0 fall in income due to the suspension of customers, NDORS courses due to the Covid- 19 pandemic. G55 margin for DFiA increased significantty to 60.6 % {2019120.' 43.50/0) largely reflecting the lower a)sts of deliverirvJ courses on-line, while the gross margin for IAM Drive & SuNive declined from 50.6tr/0 to 46,30/0, as did that for PDS which decreased marginally from 48.00/0 to 47.2 % . A conunued focus in improviThJ efficiency, tojether with lower costs of sales frcm the reduthon In Servi dellvery due to the Covid-19 pandemic, resulted in a 21.70h reduction in expenditure to £5.67m for the IAM Group. AhoUgh comparisons are difficult because of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemr, this Contin the trend of r8Juang costs from the previous year. Staff costs, which are the largest component of overheads fell by a further 4.10/0, Wlth savlngs aSIng from the curtailment of serviw due to Covid-19 and efflciency savlngs achVed across travel costs, expendUre in support of IAM Road5mart groups, printing, postage and stationery, medla related costs, and marketlng and communications. Other efficiency savings were reali5ed in facility costs and telephonylintemet costs. costs increased which was expected as IAM continues to invest in utyjrading it systems and capabilities, as did depreaatb)n charges reflectlng the Implementstion of DARTS in November. Overall, the Council conslder the financial results for the year reflect rewesent a highly credible outturn in a challenging environment. Mthough the scope for projecting forwards from the results in a year impacied so heavity by a one-off pandemic is extremely limited, the Council is confident that revenues will return to pre-pandemic levels following the end of Covid-19 pandemic restrictions albeit wf(h a lag as activities ramp-up and cOnfenCe returns. The Council recognises the longer-term challenges to grow the top line and for the IAM Group to remain hvJhly relevant in delivering its charitable objects in a world that is forever chaThJing, including in the fields of driving and riding, To that end, the Council has commissioned a strategic review of the IAM Group and its Servi with the asslstance of an expert extwnal consutsncy which will rewrt duriThJ the first half of 2021122 50 that agreed recommendations can start to be iMprnented. The balan sheet on page 22 indicates that the IAM Group's net assets ¥we incwsed by £1.44 mllllon (201912020: dedine of £0.25m) to £8.68m (2020: £7.24m) as at 31 March 2021 fletting the net itfflow of fuThJs during the year shown in the Statement of Financial AcbvitEs. The main movements in Fixed Assets was the increase in the investsment rtfoli05 from £6.43m to £7.90m arising from market gains a5 no additional funds were committed or funds withdrawn from the portfolios during the year. Intangible fixed assets at net Ixok value Increased marginally during the year to £0.37m as resu of £0.17m further expendUre on DARTS offset by depreaation charges on legacy systems whKh have now te decommission and on the DARTS system after fc went live in November. The IAM Group's baLan slEet indicates net current assets of £0.32m (2019: £0.34m). Cash balance5 declined 18.5% to £0.65m {2020: £0.79m) while debtors and creditors decreased by 10.2% and 17.20/0 respertNelyi further anaWsis is shown in notes 12 and 13 to the financial strtents. Full implementation of a business strategy for growth will require further time and resources, especially given the signlficant impact on operations during 2020121 of the Covid-19 pandemic. The IAM Group remains committed to making the nary investsment to deliver that growth and thereby further delivery of its charitsble objects. Accordingly, the Council has approved a deficit budget for 2021122. The Council recognises it will need to COnsider that budget further once the recommendations of the strategic review have been evaluated while it also sees considerable long-term benefit in anchoring budgets within the context of a longer-term strategic plan.

The Finan & Audit Committee considers the CUTrent levd of reseNes to LE appropriate given the opwrtunities and challenges on the foreseeable horizon tryJether vvith a prudent level of cover for unforeseeable challenges that may lie ahead. Free reseNes defined as undesignated, unrestiKted funds not including furKls pSentIng tsnglble and Intsnglble fixed assets and represent funds that are available to help IAM meet its objective5. As at 31 March 2021, the IAM Group's free reserves were £8.22m (2020., £6,76m). The Finan & Audit Committee considers this level of re5eNes, representiro over 1Ve months, totsl expenditu, as adequate and In line wf(h the consideratlons of the nantt & Audit Committee above. As at 31 March 2021, the IAM Group's totsl accumula funds were £8.68m {2020.' £7.24m). IAM'S investment policy Is revfiewed annualty by the Council and monitored by the Finan & Audit Committee. The investsment policy is aimed at securing the st financial retum from its investsments with an acceptable level of risk through engaging reputable and eXpErnCe external investsment managers with SFerfied investment mandates. Income is not drawn from the Investment portrolios on a regular basis and is instead reinvested so that the p0110$ have a totsl retum (combined income and capitsl retum) obiecbve, with acce55 to dTrwdown funds to finan OatiOnal needs as and when required. The market value of IAM'S irwestment portfolios at 31 March 2021 was £7,90m (2020: £6.43m). The increase was attributsble to divKlend5, interest and net market value gains wthin the portfoli05 as there were no additional funds invested in or drawdowns from the portfolios during the year. As set out In the Rlsk Management section of thls report, during 2020121 the Finan & Audit Committee undertook comprehensive review of investment portfolio managers. After due consideration, it was decided to retsin the SeN1 of the three incumbent inve5trnent managers.. JM Flnn & Co Ruffer LLP Rathbone Investment Management The objective of the JM Finn portfolio is to achieve a combined return from income and capital. The portfolto is manag& on a dlscretionary basis and is invested across a range of asset classes including equities, bonds, property, cash and alternatives using both direct investnEnts and pooled investment vehicles.

The trustee5 draw additional comfort frcffi the way the IAM Group wa5 able to react to an unprecnted exterrpl sh(tk in 2020121 in which it delivered a very small operating def1t c¥)mpared to the reducuon in revenues.

INuTE OF ADVANCED MOTORISTS LIMrrED REPORT OF THE COUNCIL (continued) Moreover, despite the current success of the Covid-19 vaccination programme in the UK, a resurgen of the pandemic could well affect the confidence of customers tr) particlpate in many of the IAM Group's activities, and of volunteers and trainers to deliver those attivities, as well as the willingness of staff to commute to, and work in, the IAM offi. The IAM Group will need to assess the timing of expenditu on activities Such as marketing campaigns to mitgate the risk that the objectives of those campaigns is frustrated by the impact on 5tsff, volunteers, Customers, contractors and the publ of a resurge of the pandemic.

Investment105ses A decline in the value of investhnts arising from a market fall or poor investment choices would impact the financial results and the resources available to invest in developing produrt and service offerings to meet the charltable objetts. The IAM Group seeks to mitigate the impact of this risk by maintaining investment portfolios with differing investment strategies and risks, and carrying sufficient reserves so that shorter term market declines are less likely to threaten sustainability or solvency. During 2020121, the Finance & Audit Committee undertook a comprehensive review of investment portfolio managers assesslng their perfomiance, portfolio construction and asset alIcatIOn, wrtfolio risk attitudes, seNice levels and costs.

The Council has commissioned an external expert strategic consultancy tr) work with trustees and senior managers to develop a strategy for approval by the Counul. This work commenced in May 2021 and Inlt(al recommendations will be considered by the Council in the second quarter of 2021122 with a view to distilling them into a coherent practical multi-year strategy for the tAM Group that can begin to be implemented during 2021122. Plans for future In some resFects, the Covld-19 pandemic has comblned with other factors to create a stom) that requires the IAM Group to evaluate how we can ensure that we stay true to our core values whilst addressing the various factors that will shape the future of driving and riding. To rnt the challenge of a rapidly changing mix of personal mobility solutions, a comprehensive strategic review of the business is LEing undertaken. The outcome of this VIeW will provide the basis from which a multi-year strategic plan, underpinned by key milestones at spedflc Intervals will be develowl. The Strategic plan will, in the face of significant change, detsrmine how IAM will continue to meet Its charitable objective5.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assuran, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will alway5 detect a material misststement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably expected to Influence the economic decisKsns of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Details of the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud and non- compliance with laws and regulatK)ns are set out below. A further description of our responsibilfcies for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council s website at.. www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditorfs report. Extent to which the audlt was consldered capable of deteLting irregularities, including fraud Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-complian with laws and regulations. We IdentTfied and assessed the risks of material misststement of the financial ststements from irregularitie5, whether due to fraud or error, and discussed these between our audit team members. We then designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those rlsks, including obtaining audit eviden sufficient and appropriate to provide a bas15 for our opinion. 19
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS AND THE TRUSTEES OF THE INSTITUTE OF ADVANCED MOTORISTS LIMITED
(continued)
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charitable company and group operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and The Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, together with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the charitable company’s and the group’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charitable company and the group for fraud. The laws and regulations we considered in this context for the UK operations were General Data Protection Regulations, Health and Safety legislation and employment legislation.
Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be within the timing of recognition of income and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management and the Finance and Audit Committee about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of journals, reviewing accounting estimates for biases, reviewing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006, and to the charitable company’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Regulation 10 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members 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 charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body and the charitable company’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

INThTE OF ADVANCED MOToRIs LIMrrED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 March 2021 General information The Institute of Advan Motorists knmited (IAM) is a compary limlted by guarantee incorporated in EnglaThJ and has no share capital. The liability of members in the event of winding-up is limited to 25p Fer member. The &fjdre of IAM s registered Offi and principal of business is l Albany Pl, Hyde Way, Welwyn Garden Cty AL7 3BT. IAM'S and the IAM Group's principal artivitie5 are detsiled in the Report of the Coundl. Accounting pollcies (a) Basis of accounting and golng concem The financÉal 5tstements have bn prepared in accordan wlth Accounting and ReEM)rting by Charftles: Ststement of Recommended prattl applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordan with the Financial Reporting standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) - (CharitEs SORP IFRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Iland (FRS 102) and the Companles Art 2006. A separate statement of financial activittes for IAM is not presented as peThitted by the SORP. Monetsry amounts in these financial statwnents are rounded to the nearest £1,000 expt where otherwise indicated. IAM meets the definition of a public benefft entity under FR5102. Assets and liabilitEs are initially recDJniso at historical cost or transathon value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accountlng p)licy notes. The trustees assess whether use of the going concern basls of accounting is appropriate i.e. whether there are materlal uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast doubt on the ability of the charitab company and the group to continue as a going concern. The trustees review forecasts and projections coverirYJ a rIOd of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements in making that assessment, The trustees do not consider the are any such material unrtaIntieS but have given paCUr consideration to the unrtaIntieS Conrning the future trajectory and impact of the Covid-19 pandem as describ8J low. The trustees have considered the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the charitable company and the group. That consideration including ass51ng the likely potential105s of income arislng from sales of Advan Courses induding Test fees and from other activitie5 requiring on-road or In<lassrrx)m tralning where social distancing is imprartical. It also included an assessment of the impatts of the Potential reluctance of individuals and corporate customers to attend such courses due to conrn for their safety ardIng Covid-19 and for such customers to seek to control and reduce discfetionary spending once formal restrittions on conducting on-road and in-classroom artivities a lifted, as well as reduced Memrship retentk)n rates as members extErienang financial and otr pressures leW discretionary and charitable outgoings. The overall impact of the Cowd-19 pandemlc on IAM'S finances is dependent on the duration nature of restrictions on social contsct, whether govemment imposed or due to general COnrnS ardIng the safety of staff, volunteers, or attendees at training and other events, which by their nature are subject to a hvJh degree of Unrtainty. The trust, assessment of that impart on the going concem basls took into account the manner in whlch the IAM Group was able to react to the circumstsns that the pandemlc gave rise to duri 2020121 and the sUltant mitigation of the financial impatt as shjwn in the results for the year, the availabilty of similar options to mitigate the impact in the future and the level of liquid serveS available to cover those potential financial impacts that Enight not te mitigated. In particular, the trust noted that liquid investments of £7.9m at 31 Mard) 2021 had increased by a further £0.3m by 31 May 2021 and that those investments tcgether with net cUrnt assets of £0.3m at both 31 March and 31 May 2021 represented over 1.4 times the totsl expendlture Incurred in 2020121 (i.e. WItht taking any account of income during the golng conrn review peri¢)J}. 24
INsllTUTE OF ADVANCED MOTORIsfs MED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMEMrs for the year ended 31 March 2021 The trustees, conslderation of going conrn a150 took into account a stress test utilising the potential for arcumstances which although unlikely would have a significant impact. Those unlikely Circumstan induded significant reduttions in income from memtership, other courses and assessments, and commercial activities, while assuming that operatlng and capital extEnditure was maintained at budgeted and foreGlSt levels, and the potential for investment portfolios to fall by up to 500/0. The stre55 test indicated that the going conrn basis of accounting would remaln appropriate as at the date of appn)val of the financial ststements. Accordingly, the trusts consider that the going concem assumption remains valid. (b) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include on a line-by-line basis the financial statements of IAM and ts subsidiary companies made up to 31 March 2021. Subsidiaries qUired during the year are consolidated using the acquisition method. Their results are incorporated from the date that control passes.
