IHEEM Annual Report 2020 

## **A Message from the President** 


Welcome to IHEEM’s Annual Report which aims to provide you with an update of IHEEM’s activity over the past 12 months. 

Against the unprecedented 

backdrop of the global coronavirus pandemic, the Institute has continued to support our members whilst being conscious of not diverting them from their valuable work providing products and services to keep NHS frontline staff and patients safe.  One of the key outputs from IHEEM’s response to COVID-19 has been its close working with the international arms of the Institute and this has brought into focus how much there is to learn from other parts of the world in relation to the challenges that affect our profession globally.  I am confident that this sharing of information, experience and knowledge will continue in the long-term. 

Despite the challenges that we have all faced during 2020, the Institute has had a fulfilling and successful year which has seen membership numbers rise and new applications regularly submitted.  It is extremely encouraging to see that our profession recognises the value of membership to a professional organisation. 

Looking back for a moment, I would like to remind everyone of the Healthcare Estates Conference, Exhibition & Awards in 2019 which was the largest, and, in my view the best, to date.  We hosted over 4000 delegates and it was a truly international event with visitors from many different countries. 

The decision to defer the live event in 2020 was undoubtedly the right decision to make.  However, the success of our online “Digital Week” event in October 2020 is a firm indication that there is an appetite for our members to engage in a new and different way as part of what is now deemed “the new normal”. 

One programme that I am especially proud of is the work we are doing for future leaders and the STEM agenda, which links to one of the key themes I introduced at the start of my term as President.  At the beginning of 2020, we went into schools and directly engaged with over 200 students, through a series of workshops and presentations, which you can read more about in this report. There are also 74 students currently taking advantage of our offer of free IHEEM membership.  I believe the Institute now provides something for people at every stage in their career including apprentices, tradespeople and those who wish to follow the non-standard route to accreditation. 

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our Chief Executive and everyone at Head Office, I am proud to work alongside such a strong, committed and passionate team.   I am also grateful to all our volunteers who devote their valuable time each year to help us fulfil our vision. As I end my term as President, I look to the future of IHEEM with optimism and inspiration.

IHEEM Annual Report 2020 

## **Chief Executive Statement** 

I am delighted to be introducing the IHEEM Annual Report 2020; my first as CEO. Earlier this year we published IHEEM’s first 5 Year Business Plan which set out the Institute’s core objectives and key deliverables. A copy of the “At a Glance Business Plan” is provided in this report. 

I believe that whilst the healthcare efm industry remains an attractive sector, there is no doubt that it continues to face significant change and challenge. That is why it is vital for the Institute to have a clear strategic focus, alongside robust financial controls and innovative investment so that it can effectively meet the evolving needs and expectations of its membership. 

The outbreak of Coronavirus is still a major global concern and we continue to monitor developments very closely.  From the very start, the safety and wellbeing of our members, staff and volunteers has been our overriding priority but we have also done all we can to ensure business continuity and have worked tirelessly to mitigate any operational and financial risks. 

We took the decision to put on hold the recruitment to vacant positions at Head Office because of the uncertainty.  We have also reviewed and strengthened our corporate governance and professional standing and will continue to monitor and update this as the Institute develops. 


We deferred the live 2020 Healthcare Estates Conference & Exhibition but in its place ran our first online and on-demand digital conference. The feedback has been extremely positive and confirms that this new way of engaging was valuable and worthwhile.  I would like to thank everyone who supported it including all the speakers, chairs and of course those who registered and watched. 

I firmly believe that, throughout the pandemic, we have remained relevant to the members that we serve.   We immediately began to provide knowledge, information and regular updates on best practice and lessons learned from across the world.  We also developed toolkits to support critical services such as oxygen and medical gas supplies and we harnessed digital technology to allow us to engage and provide that knowledge and information in new and inventive ways.

IHEEM Annual Report 2020 

One of the universal lessons of the COVID-19 crisis has been the vital importance of strong and resilient networks and our Technical Platforms have provided specialist advice to Government via NHS England and NHS Improvement, SAGE and have also supported the Royal Academy of Engineering in their response. 

Alongside this vital work, we have started our modernisation programme with the development of our IT infrastructure as well as the launch of our new website which features a new Learning Hub, Knowledge Portal and our new automated CPD recording system. 

We are also establishing new partnerships and developing a new annual online-digital programme.  These are all significant advances for the Institute and support our commitment to improve our offer to members and company affiliates and to provide accessible and affordable routes to development and opportunity. 

There is little doubt that conditions are challenging right now.  However, IHEEM has existed for over 75 years and will be accustomed to operating through periods of social and economic uncertainty. 

I am positive that the Institute will emerge from the impact of recent events even stronger and will continue to serve our members in both traditional and modern ways to meet their personal and professional needs and aspirations. 

I would like to thank our President, Council Members and volunteers for their support and dedication.  I would especially like to thank the Head Office team for their work this year and for their support to me and all those who engage with the Institute. 

This report gives me great confidence for the future and I very much look forward to 2021 and beyond and continuing to deliver the priorities and commitments we set out earlier this year in our 5 Year Business Plan.

## **IHEEM Response to COVID-19** 

**Business Plan Core Objectives 2, 6 and 7** 

The Institute’s swift and continued response to the global pandemic dominated its business activity for a large part of 2020.  The primary focus was to ensure the safety and well-being of its staff and volunteers and in the case of live events, delegates and exhibitors whilst achieving the right balance in terms of business continuity and support to its global members, the national efm team and the wider engineering community. 

Issued IHEEM Operational Policy outlining immediate investment to facilitate Head Office remote working; all meetings and events to be deferred or held online; early negotiation with venues to eliminate financial penalties. 

Issued national and international call-outs to IHEEM’s individual and corporate membership for technical and professional support to both NHS England & Improvement and World Health Organisation.  Over 150 responses were forwarded via IHEEM's dedicated mailbox.

IHEEM Annual Report 2020 

## **Learning & Development** 

## **Business Plan Core Objectives 1, 2, 4 and 7** 

The new Learning Hub is a “one stop shop” within the IHEEM website where members can access a wide range of resources to support their education and training needs. 

In addition, there were two major developments in 2020, working in tandem, to support members CPD requirements and improve IHEEM’s offer to members: 

## **Partnership with CPD Certification Body** 


The Institute is committed to delivering as much CPD content as possible to support its members in their career development and learning.  Partnering with the **CPD Certification Service** ensures that all the CPD material IHEEM offers meets qualitative standards and has been through a rigorous and impartial assessment process. Wherever possible all training courses and resources will be CPD certified. 


## **Development of a new Knowledge Portal** 

A brand new feature of the Learning Hub is the **IHEEM Knowledge Portal** (See _IT Modernisation Programme_ page).  This digital library allows members to access a wide range of material including: 

- National and International Standards and Guidance 

- IHEEM’s own Factsheets and Practitioners Guidance 

- Practical Case Studies 

- Personal Narratives 

A number of new training and career development opportunities were also announced in October 2020: 

- **9 Day Health Facility Planning Course** – Introduces the specialised aspects of health facility planning and design to candidates with an interest in developing their skills to take on infrastructure projects in public and private healthcare sectors.  The first course, held in November 2020, sold-out and a further 4 sessions are planned for 2021. 

- **IHEEM Coaching & Mentoring Programme** – Training for appropriately experienced members to support others through the non-standard route to accreditation (IEng/CEng). 

- **IHEEM Assessor & Reviewer Training** - Teach members how to assess professional registration applications by looking at qualifications, experience and CPD against the required standards. 

- **IHEEM Professional Registration Interviewer Training** – Training to acquire the skills required to participate in conducting a structured interview for a professional registration candidate.

IHEEM Annual Report 2020 

## **Developing Future Leaders** 

**Business Plan Core Objectives 1 and 3** 

## **(STEM) Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics** 


Encouraging new entrants, and particularly future leaders, into healthcare engineering and estates management, and wider STEM roles, is an ongoing priority for IHEEM.  It is one of the Institute’s _**Five Key Themes**_ and will be a focus for the term of the President Elect Paul Fenton. IHEEM now offers free Student Affiliate Membership and there are 74 students currently registered who are enjoying the wide range of benefits that this brings. 

In January 2020, Monira Kaouech, the Institute’s STEM Ambassador, spent a week holding “People Like Me” workshops and presentations in schools and colleges in the North East of England. She was supported by efm healthcare professionals already in the field, including Alan Spraggon, Estates Manager at South Tyneside and Sunderland Healthcare Group and IHEEM Council member and six apprentices from the Northern and Yorkshire NHS Assessment Centre and the “Engineering Together – The North East Community of Professional Engineering” partnership. 

The workshops gave young students a flavour of a career in healthcare engineering and estate management, the associated construction supply chain, and of engineering in the wider context. 

There is now a dedicated “Future Leaders” section within the new IHEEM website. This includes case studies from healthcare engineers and apprentices and a set of career maps that outline the different options available within the sector.  There is also a STEM Learning Hub and a Skills Hub both of which provide support and resources to students such as CV writing and interview techniques. 

In October 2020 IHEEM were delighted to announce that they would be the IET Education Theme Partner for the 2021/22 season of the Faraday Challenge. Based on a real-world problem, the challenge brings together STEM subjects in an engaging way and encourages the development of young peoples problem solving and communication skills.  The Institute is currently working with the devolved administrations to devise a problem that the young competitors will seek to address and the solution to which will benefit healthcare engineering.

IHEEM Annual Report 2020 


## **Apprentices** 

In October 2020 IHEEM announced that, in collaboration with the **Northern and Yorkshire NHS Assessment Centre** , it is creating a national healthcare engineering apprentice programme which will be delivered through a national procurement to be developed and managed in partnership by The NHS Salisbury Procurement Hub. 

## **Diversity and Inclusion** 

The “About Us” section within the new IHEEM website highlights what the Institute is actively doing through its Diversity and Inclusion working group, as well as providing useful information, resources and helpful links to other websites and external resources. 

In addition, this Working Group focuses on identifying and addressing perceived barriers within the Institute and wider engineering profession. In November 2019 IHEEM held a round-table event at the ETA Projects in London which brought together IHEEM's STEM ambassador, female engineers and estates professionals. 

Topics under discussion were encouraging people from diverse genders and ethnic minorities into the sector and how enthusiastic female engineers can make a real impact in attracting new recruits into the profession. 

The accredited programme, which also has the full support of HEFMA, will be based on the successful apprenticeship scheme that has been running in the North East for over 40 years.  The four years of matched funding that IHEEM committed to providing earlier in the year (£30k/ 

per annum) will now form part of this partnership arrangement. 


This year’s focus provided an opportunity to highlight lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ+) engineers alongside current and historic barriers to inclusion and presenting positive examples and tools that can help to develop a more inclusive culture within engineering for LGBTQ+ engineers. 

Unfortunately, many of the events that IHEEM were scheduled to support were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  However, the Working Group has taken the decision to extend this focus into next year, where it will become an important component of IHEEM’s new 2021 Digital Programme (page 23).

IHEEM Annual Report 2020 

## **Regional Branches** 

## **Business Plan Core Objective 3 and 5** 

There is no doubting the impact COVID-19 has had on the planned face-to-face activity undertaken by IHEEM Branches and there remains careful consideration in balancing the need to keep connected with members, whilst recognising that many are still fully occupied with the demands of their day job. 

Prior to the health crisis, Branches, supported by company affiliates in some cases, delivered a number of seminars and technical presentations across a wide range of topics including: 

- Water Management & Safety; 

- Health & Safety; 

- Business Focussed Maintenance; 

- Engineering Smart Hospitals; 

- UPS/IPS Systems for Healthcare; 

- Biomedical Waste Management; 

- Patient Response Systems; 

- Synergy to the design and enhancement of the patient room; 

- “A Deep Dive into NHS Estates” – Best Practice in Estates Management & Compliance; 

- Medical Locations, Medical IT Systems and Uninterruptable Power Supplies; 

- Sustainability & Climate Change; 

- Stress & Resilience; 

- CEF Energy Infrastructure Scheme at Wythenshawe Hospital; 

- Preventing Corrosion in Heating & Cooling Systems; 

- Medical Locations, Medical IT Systems and Uninterruptable Power Supplies. 


Head Office is working closely with the Branches to provide additional support e.g. data and document management, business and financial management support, so that they can be incentivised to be more active locally.  Branches now have their own dedicated web-space in the new IHEEM website where they can communicate directly with members and keep them up-to-date with events and activities. 

A new monthly live **Branch of the Month** webinar was announced in November 2020, with the aim of providing updates for both individual and company affiliate members on current and planned activity, as well as taking questions and discussion topics from the audience.  The webinars will also be available to watch on-demand via the IHEEM Learning Hub for members only. 

All IHEEM branches will play a key part in the IHEEM 2021 Digital Programme (page 23) as well as developing new ways to engage locally and provide opportunities to network, develop and share knowledge with their members. 

**13** 



IHEEM Annual Report 2020 

## **Technical Platforms** 

## **Business Plan Core Objectives 2, 5, 7 and 9** 

IHEEM’s Technical Platforms have played a vital role in the Institute’s response and support to the COVID-19 pandemic (page 7).  The IHEEM Specialist Technical Panel was quickly established to respond to a number of requests for technical input from the UK Government and SAGE, as well as other engineering bodies such as the Royal Academy of Engineers (RAE) across a wide range of engineering challenges that had arisen during the pandemic. 

The Panel, formed from the Chairs of each platform and led by Pete Sellars, also provided engineering support to the World Health Organisation through its international links to IFHE and IFHEEU.  It also produced a series of IHEEM COVID-19 Factsheets on topics such as PPE Reprocessing and Fire Safety. 

As a member of the NHS England & NHS Improvement’s Future Standards Working Group, the Technical Platforms have also provided comment and feedback to several draft national standards and guidance documents, including the ministerial priorities around the Health Infrastructure Plan (HIP) such as the Digital Blueprint and Patient Flow as well as a number of Health Building Notes (HBNs). 

Along with the IHEEM Branches, the Technical Platforms will have a key role in the 2021 Digital Programme (page 23) as well as the providing articles and sharing specialist knowledge and information to members via the IHEEM Quarterly Newsletter, which was launched in November 2020. 

The terms of reference and management arrangements of the Technical Platforms and the Boards of Registration (AE) are currently under review. 

An internal Working Group has been established to provide recommendations and ratification to the Council on a number of issues, which, when resolved, will ensure appropriate governance and assurance is in place to meet the licensing requirements set out by the Engineering Council UK in 2019, as well as ensuring consistency and transparency across all aspects of the working arrangements of Technical Platforms and Boards of Registration(AE). 

Once the review is completed a revised Terms of Reference will be developed and published on the IHEEM website.

IHEEM Annual Report 2020 

## **Company Affiliates** 

## **Business Plan Core Objective 7** 


IHEEM received a tremendous response from its company affiliates to support NHS England and NHS Improvement during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Over 150 offers of products, services and skills from its personal and company memberships were received. 

The new IHEEM website has a dedicated Company Affiliate webpage allowing them, for the first time, to engage directly with members and the wider healthcare efm sector and to showcase the wide range of goods and services they offer. 

Wherever possible, we will involve our corporate members in our activities, and there will be opportunities to sponsor online and digital events, as ‘live’ events have been sponsored in the past. 


**15** 



IHEEM Annual Report 2020 

## **IT Infrastructure Modernisation** 

## **Business Plan Core Objectives 8 and 9** 

The capital investment, which began in 2019, to improve the outdated and unreliable IT systems used by IHEEM, is a vital component in strengthening the Institute’s governance around data and documentation handling, management and storage.  It also enables the Head Office to provide Branches and Committees with the support they need. 

Improvements include: 

- Bespoke membership database – improved application and renewals process for new and existing members; 

- Improved and fully integrated accounts system including simple direct debit payment collection; 

- Use of Cloud technology for future proofing and staff efficiency; 

- Remote working facilities for Head Office staff to enable business continuity (Covid-19 Operational Policy). 


A major IT initiative in 2020 was the development and launch of the new bespoke “MyIHEEM CPD” section embedded into the new IHEEM website. 

The “MyIHEEM CPD Account” is a new automated system that allows members to easily record all their reflective learning in one place. A key benefit of the new system is that it allows users to share their record with third parties to confidentially review and comment (but not change) via one or more unique links. Users can also complete their CPD record live whilst at a certified IHEEM event via a mobile device. (Learning & Development, page 10). 

The improvement of the Institute’s recording systems has also been a focus of 2020, including the integration of registration processes into the bespoke membership database.  September 2020 saw IHEEM’s Engineering Council Registration undergo a successful virtual audit -  the first using this medium - and were delighted that the Institute’s CPD assessment processes were formally recognised as being far in excess of that required and acknowledged as a model of good practice.  Head Office is now reviewing its policies to ensure they are up to date and relevant.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Investment policy and objectives
The memorandum assockAlion describes how monies of the Insif(ute not Immediately required lor its
purposes can be invested The Trustees, having regard lo Ihe IH4uidity requirements of operating the Institute
and the reserves policy Sel out below. have operated a policy of k￿PIng available funds In an intèrest bearing
deposit account. The invested funds he￿ on deposrt achieved an average rate ol return ol 0 3Yo against the
Office lor National Slatislics, Consumer Pri￿ Index ICPII. for the year to Oecember 2020 of O SY.
Reserves policy
The Institute maintains reserves wh￿h the Council deems approptiale for its efficient operalion and lor the
generation ol additional income on a prudent basis. Around 65/0 of the charity's incDtne is generated through
membership Income received prirnanty in the first three monlhs of the year and the remaining Income is
generated through ihe year from seminar actwity and annual conferences. A level ol free reserves of
£250.000 equating to approxirnalety six monihs management, admintstration is considèred appropriat
The
actual free reserves exceeded the required level and amounted to £626.052 a ieduction of £109.275 on 2019.
The decrease represents ￿ afeas of spend. aThJ may be used io SUp￿rt the operational cost5 lor 2021 if
the pandemic continues.
The Instrtule's investment in modemising the IT infrastructure induding the development of a
membership database, bespoke CPD system and launch of a new website.
Funding this deficit on the Dperationa5 costs for 2020 due to Ihe defeTral of all Confe￿nceS to
2021. creating a bss of approximatety £150k in 2020.
The Board of Trustees are also mindtul of Ihe vo￿￿.￿ nalure of membeiship numbers and Ihe general decline
in numbers in other similar Leamed Bodies and this has a bearing on our ￿se￿e levels wh￿h may be above
what would normally be expected.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources
The Charily's income Is derived from hyo main resources. membership subwiptions and educational events.
including seminars and conferen￿$ (annual IHEEM Confe￿nce/exhlb￿.on and branch conferences}. Income
through membership subscnplions tolalled £325k 12079 - £3(6kl. Events and train?ng income tOtal￿d £21k
12019 £165k}. Event resource5 e¥pended at £82k12019 = £130kl The difference ￿￿een years relates to
the income and expenditure on events for 2020 ￿SU￿$ from provKling free webinars and learning material lo
our members as opposed to having a number of cThifefen¢es lo wh¢h delegates would pay lo attend. This
was a conscious decision taken by the Board to conbnue lo engage with our members and provKle valuable
learning opw)rtunrtEs throughoul the Pandem￿ when kn to lace events were deferred unb'l late 2021.
Educalioftal events is an elenEnt in the ¢harity's progrJmrne of actNrties". the trustees are keen lo continue
wrth this work that provKles benefft to both the chartls member5 and the publ￿.
Overall the charity pr(Klu¢ed a deficit of £104.893 12019 deficrt of £74,789) on a lumover of £350,997. This
is due lo the bss of income generated fr(¥n having lo defer all fa￿ to fa￿ corkferences and events in 2020.
Financial effect of significant events
IHEEM holds two major conferences each year which aiFn to pi(xIU￿ a surplus. Actions are taken lo
minimise the risk of surpluses not being made through Commercial arrangements wi(h oui Conference
Organising Partners. Our Northem Ireland branch holds one confe￿nCe bi annually.
The impact of deleiring thèse conferences to lète 2021 has resutted in Ihe cteficit seen above. The pandemic
was unprecedented. the Institute reserves allowed IHEEhll lo operate and cover it's minimal operational costs
for 2020.

## **FINAL AUDIT COMMUNIQUÉ FOR THE YEAR ENDED** 

## **31 DECEMBER 2020** 

## **FOR** 

## **THE INSTITUTE OF HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING AND ESTATE MANAGEMENT** 

**CONTENTS** 

**Introduction Key Findings Audit Scope and Objectives Audit Approach ANNEX A: Financial Adjustments ANNEX B: Key Findings and Recommendations ANNEX C: Errors Noted During Audit Which Were Not Adjusted ANNEX D: Minor Findings and Recommendations ANNEX E: Audit Findings Regarding Identified Risks ANNEX F: Weaknesses in Internal Controls Identified ANNEX G: Analytical Review ANNEX H:  Letter of Representation From Management** 



## **Introduction** 

- 1 Our work on the audit of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 of The Institute of Healthcare Engineering and Estate Management is now complete and we have issued an unqualified auditor’s report on 27 April 2021. 

- 2 Our opinion is in three parts.  We provide an opinion on whether: 

   - the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of The Institute of Healthcare Engineering and Estate Management’s affairs as at 31 December 2020 and of its incoming resources and resources expended for the year then ended; 

   - the financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice applicable to smaller entities; 

   - the financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006. 

- 3 In accordance with International Standard on Auditing (UK and Ireland) 260 (October 2012), “Communication of Audit Matters to those Charged with Governance”, we have produced this report for the attention of those charged with governance. This final audit communiqué has been produced to fulfil those requirements. 

## **Key Findings** 

- 4 We identified the following minor issues arising from our audit: 

   - No expense form on file for T Davies 

- 5 Full details of all the audit findings and our recommendations can be found in Annexes B and D. 

- 6 There were no uncorrected errors. 

- 7 We would like to take this opportunity to express our thanks for the assistance and support we have received from the charitable company’s staff with whom we came into contact during our audit. 

## **Audit Scope and Objectives** 

- 8 Morris Crocker is the appointed independent external auditor under the Companies Act 2006. 

- 9 In carrying out our audit we have regard to the responsibilities of the trustee directors to prepare financial statements which give a true and fair view of the entity’s state of affairs at 31 December 2020 and of its incoming resources and resources expended and cash flows for the financial year, as well as to ensure that they have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006. 

- 10 Our examination of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 was carried out in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) (October 2012) issued by the Auditing Practices Board. We have a professional responsibility to report if the financial statements do not comply in any material respect with the standards issued or adopted by the Accounting Standards Board. 

- 11 Our audit procedures are designed primarily to provide an opinion on whether the financial statements provide a true and fair view of the charitable company’s position as at 31 December 2020 and the incoming resources and resources expended for the year then ended. 

- 12 As part of our audit we also review the financial information contained in the Report of the Trustees and elsewhere to ensure it is consistent with the financial statements. 

## **Audit Approach** 

- 13 Our approach is primarily risk based.  We collect information by having discussions with staff and reviewing key documents to improve our understanding of the charitable company’s operations.  This enables us to form a preliminary view of the strengths and weaknesses of the overall control environment. We also review the information systems controls and the controls operating for specific account balances.  We then use this information to identify the significant risk areas.  We review management controls and test their design, operation and effectiveness in order to determine those from which we can gain assurance and those where we need to direct more audit focus. 

- 14 We undertake audit procedures on all account areas, focusing on where we have identified a significant risk of error, and evaluate results in order to support our audit opinion.  We review accounting systems and management controls operated by the charitable company only to the extent we consider necessary for the effective performance of our audit.  The results of all these aspects of the audit are brought together and evaluated to consider the 



impact on our opinion. 

- 15 The matters detailed in this final audit communiqué arose from our normal audit procedures that were undertaken in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) (October 2012) issued by the Auditing Practices Board.  The responsibility for the implementation and monitoring of internal and management controls rests with The Institute of Healthcare Engineering and Estate Management. Our work did not involve a detailed review of all aspects of the systems and cannot be regarded as a comprehensive statement of all weaknesses that might exist, or of all improvements that might be made. 

- 16 As part of our audit we report to management those matters that we consider merit their attention and recommend appropriate remedial action.  However, management remains responsible for implementing these and our recommendations should be assessed for their full impact before they are implemented. 

## **Areas of Audit Risk** 

- 17 Our audit plan highlighted two material risks for specific audit emphasis.  Our findings against each of the identified risks are set out in Annex E. 

## **Matters Specifically Required to be Communicated to Those Charged with Governance** 

## **Fraud** 

- 18 We require management to acknowledge in writing its responsibility for internal controls to present and detect fraud. 

- 19 We also require management to disclose to us: 

   - The results of their assessment of the risk that financial statements may be materially misstated as a result of fraud; 

   - Their knowledge of fraud or suspected fraud affecting the charitable company involving management, employees or others; and 

   - Their knowledge of any allegations of fraud, or suspected fraud communicated by employees, former employees, analysts, regulators or others which may have an impact on the financial statements. 

## **Effectiveness of Communications** 

- 20 International Standard on Auditing (UK and Ireland) 260 (October 2012) requires us to review the effectiveness of communications between the auditors and those charged with governance. 

- 21 Throughout our audit we have ensured that communications have been effective.  We had an audit planning meeting with Tania Davis before our audit fieldwork commenced. 

- 22 In addition, the audit team liaised with finance staff at the charitable company throughout the course of the audit which ensured that all issues arising were dealt with at the earliest opportunity. 

- 23 Overall, we consider that communications between Morris Crocker and The Institute of Healthcare Engineering and Estate Management have operated effectively throughout the audit. 

## **Material Weaknesses in Internal Control** 

- 24 A material weakness in the accounting and internal control systems is a deficiency in design or operation which could adversely affect the charitable company’s ability to record, process, summarise and report financial and other relevant data, and which might result in a material misstatement in the financial statements. 

- 25 As external auditors, our communications of matters include only those audit matters of governance interest that have come to our attention as a result of the performance of the audit. 

- 26 During our audit we reviewed the accounting systems and management controls operated by the charitable company only to the extent we consider necessary for the effective performance of the audit.  As a result, our review may not have detected all weaknesses that exist or all improvements that could be made.
