UK Faculty of Public Health 2020 Annual Report

President & CEO Introduction

This past year has brought extraordinary challenges for the public health workforce across the UK and overseas. Whilst as public health professionals we understand that pandemics are a question of ‘when not if’, the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented in modern times.

Our members have faced overwhelming pressure during 2020 - leading the response to COVID-19, adapting to a rapidly evolving public health landscape, and tackling the widening health inequalities that we have seen further exacerbated by the pandemic.

Despite this huge strain placed on an already overstretched public health workforce, our members have risen to the challenge of COVID-19, delivering outstanding work to protect the health of the populations they serve. As a Faculty we are proud to support our members across the UK, with this past year demonstrating the importance of working together across the four nations and overseas to protect health.

We thank those members who have – even in these most challenging of circumstances – volunteered their time and expertise to support their peers by working with the Faculty. The successes of the Faculty over the past year have only been made possible by the generosity and committed leadership of those members who have offered their time to work with us.

This year, Faculty Officers have worked with the staff team to adapt our business in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and we thank them all for their hard work and commitment. This work has included moving Faculty examinations to an online environment, suspending CPD requirements, managing a surge in applications to public health training, adapting revalidation arrangements and reviewing our consultation on the training curriculum to reflect current circumstances.

Furthermore, we were able to deliver this work whilst maintaining a strong financial position for the Faculty, allowing us to freeze membership and examination fees for a second year running.

In 2020 we delivered two sittings of the Diplomate Exam and three sittings of the Final Membership Exam in 2020, with a total of 172 and 63 candidates sitting each of the exams respectively. We also ensured that Specialty Registrars continued to progress through their training, with 79 new Registrars enrolled on the training scheme and 64 Registrars recommended for their Certificate of Completion of Training.

In addition to delivering these core elements of examinations, training and standard setting in public health, our members have led Faculty work to hold Government to account on decisions made over the past year.

UK Faculty of Public Health 2020 Annual Report

We raised particular concern to the Government in England for over-dependence on the private-sector in delivering an inadequate Test and Trace system, especially when held in comparison to the successes of local and regional public health systems. We were also disappointed regarding a lack of coherent public health messaging and expressed concern at the sudden announcement of the disestablishment of Public Health England and reminded Government of the importance of all domains of public health.

We repeated our call for a £1 billion increase in public health funding after another inadequate public health grant announcement and lobbied for an increase in public health specialty training places.

We joined with the BMA’s Public Health Medicine Consultative Committee in issuing a statement on the easing of lockdown and implementation of test and trace, and also joined with the Association of Directors of Public Health and other partners in publishing guiding principles for the effective management of COVID-19 at local level.

We also developed our ‘Functions and Standards of a Public Health System’ document, drawing together a range of different papers that the Faculty of Public Health has produced in recent years to describe the essential functions of a public health system, and the standards and contribution of the specialist public health workforce that are crucial to a robust UK public health structure.

With COVID-19 not only highlighting, but also exacerbating, the stark health inequalities faced by populations across the UK, we have worked with our members to tackle issues of inequity including driving forward our anti-racism agenda; addressing food insecurity and diseases of poverty such as obesity; supporting access to birth control for those who need it, and warning of the consequences of COVID-19 on the growing homeless population.

We must also continue to work with our international partners to ensure global vaccine equity, as well as supporting those marginalised communities in the UK who face barriers to access.

This past year then, whilst challenging, has also brought many successes for the Faculty. We hope that you will enjoy reading about these in the following report and we thank the FPH Board, Officer Group, Committees, SIGs, staff team, and all members for all their support and hard work during 2020.

UK Faculty of Public Health 2020 Annual Report

Training

Over the past 12 months the Education & Training team has worked with Officers and committee members to adapt Faculty business in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and ensure that Registrars are able to progress through the training scheme.

This work has included support for Registrars involved in the national COVID-19 response from the PH Registrar Training Committee, ARCP recognition of the disruption caused by the pandemic to training, and changes to the delivery of FPH Examinations.

As a result of this work we recommended 64 Registrars for CCT. We were pleased to welcome the 79 new Registrars who enrolled on the training scheme.

Examinations

Recruitment

Recruitment to the public health training scheme is a national process administrated by Health Education England with FPH providing advice and oversight of standards. All assessors are Faculty members. In 2020 we saw an increase in applications to the public health training scheme, with 984 applications for the 98 training posts available to the 2021 cohort.

Curriculum Review

FPH agreed with the public health regulators to delay the 2020 curriculum review in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the revised curriculum will be submitted to the GMC and UKPHR in October 2021.

The Faculty has run a second consultation to gather feedback on the impact of COVID-19 on the public health profession so that the lessons learned during the pandemic response can be reflected in the future training curriculum.

As a result of COVID-19 restrictions and the requirement to protect the safety of candidates, examiners and staff, the Faculty’s Education Committee agreed that sittings of the FPH Diplomate and Final Membership Examinations should be transferred to an online environment.

The Exam Development Committees worked in collaboration with Faculty staff and StRs to ensure that both exams would be delivered in a similar way to the in-person exams. The Faculty engaged extensively with examination candidates, providing webinars, 1:1 support and pre-exam access to the platforms to ensure that they were comfortable with the process.

During 2020, the Faculty delivered two Diplomate Exams, sitting 172 candidates in total, and three Final Membership Exams, sitting 63 candidates in total.

The Faculty would like to acknowledge the continued support and time that 73 members give as examiners and committee members, which enabled us to continue to run exams in an extremely challenging year to a very high standard.

Workforce and standards

What we said we’d achieve during 2020…

12

UK Faculty of Public Health 2020 Annual Report

Senior appointments

FPH works to maintain standards in public health by reviewing and approving consultant-level job descriptions and by providing external assessors for interview panels.

During 2020, FPH approved 244 job descriptions, a 50% increase on 2019. FPH thanks the 32 different Fellows who sat on 193 Advisory Appointment Committee interview panels in their role as Assessors, the highest figure for a decade. The Faculty continues to deliver Assessor training days to manage the demand for this vital role.

CPD

In recognition of the pressures faced by FPH members in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, in March 2020 the Board took the decision to suspend CPD requirements from April 2019 to March 2021, though members were encouraged to continue to record their CPD as usual.

Revalidation

To support our members connected to the Faculty for revalidation and professional appraisal we relaxed our requirements in line with both GMC and UKPHR guidance, including the option of a missed appraisal as approved by the Faculty’s Responsible Officer.

During 2020, the Faculty acted as the designated revalidation body for 112 members and made 33 positive revalidation recommendations to the GMC.

Workforce

The COVID-19 pandemic placed public health in the spotlight as never before, highlighting the need for a highly trained and well-resourced specialist workforce.

During 2020 the Faculty worked with our members to develop the Functions and Standards of Public Health System document which describes the essential functions of a public health system, and the standards and contribution of the specialist public health workforce.

FPH have been vocal in setting out the need for at least 30 consultant posts per million population in all parts of the UK. This will require an increase in the number of trainees in public health, and FPH has strongly advocated for this necessary increase in training numbers. We have also supported and encouraged the development of public health practitioners.

Public Health Accredited Practitioner Masterclasses

The Public Health Accredited Practitioner Masterclasses are an introduction to the basic concepts of public health for those who are new to the topic, as well as serving as a refresher course for experienced practitioners. Participants are offered the opportunity to gain a Skills for Justice accreditation.

In response to the pandemic, the masterclasses were successfully moved to an online environment during 2020. The transition to online delivery has allowed the Faculty to increase the number of courses offered, with 36 workshops delivered during the year.

UK Faculty of Public Health 2020 Annual Report

COVID-19

During 2020, FPH has supported our members who have been at the forefront of the UK’s response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout the year, FPH has held the Government to account on actions taken to tackle the virus.

In June, the FPH Board issued a comprehensive statement highlighting the key areas Government must address in order to tackle the pandemic and save lives.

With the Public Health Grant announced in March 2020, we raised concerns that the delay of the budget had caused uncertainty for local authorities and lobbied Government for a further £1 billion increase in public health funding.

We joined with the BMA’s Public Health Medicine Consultative Committee in producing a consensus statement on the easing of lockdown and on test and trace, and we criticised Government for a lack of clear public health messaging.

Alongside ADPH, PHE, LGA and others we published a document on the ‘Guiding Principles for Effective Management of COVID-19 at Local Level’.

We also issued a statement in support of global commitments to fund action on COVID-19 after we saw global partners withdraw funding to WHO.

We recognised that our members who are at the forefront of tackling this pandemic will have invaluable feedback on the UK’s response to COVID-19 and have provided members with a repository for this valuable information on the FPH website.

Anti-racism

FPH made anti-racism a priority issue for 2020. With COVID-19 once again shining a light on the decades of discrimination faced by minority ethnic populations, in June we issued a statement on racism and inequalities highlighting that these unacceptable injustices are still prevalent in society today.

In September, the Faculty worked with a group of Registrars to host a seminar on embedding anti-racism in public health practice. FPH thank Professor Kevin Fenton and Dr Nisreen Alwan for their presentations at this event. Following this seminar, FPH’s new Equality and Diversity Special Interest Group was launched.

Climate and Health

Following our declaration of a Climate Emergency in November of 2019, the Faculty made Climate and Health a priority for 2020.

Firstly, we launched our new Climate and Health Committee. Supported by our Sustainable Development Special Interest Group, the Committee will provide leadership within the Faculty on issues of sustainability and climate change.

In October of 2020, the Faculty issued a statement welcoming the introduction of NHS net zero targets and stating the importance of prioritising the health of the planet in our recovery from COVID-19.

With COP26 taking place in November of 2021 the Faculty also began work with our partners, including through the UK Health Alliance on Climate Change, to ensure that the public health voice is heard at the Conference.

UK Faculty of Public Health 2020 Annual Report

Advocacy work in Scotland

In April of 2020, Public Health Scotland was launched, representing a partnership between the Scottish Government and Local Government. The Committee of the Faculty of Public Health in Scotland (CFPHS) was engaged by Government throughout the reform process. FPH thanks Dr. Julie Cavanagh and CFPHS Committee members for their work in delivering a system which builds on the strengths of the public health function in Scotland.

In November 2020, following extensive campaigning from the Faculty of Public Health in Scotland, the Children (Equal Protection from Assault) (Scotland) Bill became law. This bill offers children in Scotland the same lawful protection from violence that adults are currently afforded and FPH thanks Dr. Tamasin Knight and the CFPHS Advocacy sub-group for their work in delivering this.

Advocacy work in Northern Ireland

FPH thanks our members in Northern Ireland and the Committee of the Faculty of Public Health in Ireland, led by Dr. Brid Farrell, for their work during 2020.

Members of the Faculty in Northern Ireland have worked to protect the health of their populations and demonstrate the inequalities exacerbated by COVID-19. This has been especially important in Northern Ireland with admission rate for COVID-19 in the 10% most deprived areas almost double the rate in the 10% least deprived areas.

Trainees in Public Health were central to the pandemic response in Northern Ireland. All trainees have had the opportunity to gain experience in management of outbreaks and clusters, surveillance, contact tracing and developing appropriate responses to service pressures during the pandemic.

Advocacy work in Wales

FPH thanks the Committee of the Faculty of Public Health in Wales, led by Angela Jones, for their work and dedication over the past year.

During 2020, FPH members in Wales not only responded to the immediate challenges of COVID-19, but were also able to drive forward other important public health work including the introduction of Minimum Unit Pricing for alcohol. With one in 20 deaths in Wales linked to alcohol this vital measure will save lives, and FPH thanks and congratulates our Welsh colleagues for leading on this work.

UK Faculty of Public Health 2020 Annual Report

Advocacy work in England

FPH thanks English members and Regional Board Members Dr. Claire Sullivan, Dr. Helen Bromley, Dr. Judith Hooper, Alison Challenger, Professor Patrick Saunders, Sue Lloyd, Dr. Rebecca Cooper, Dr. Penelope Toff and Professor Selena Gray for their work during 2020. In addition to responding to the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic, members in England have worked with the Faculty to deliver work on the future of the public health system in England.

We thank the members working in England – both within and outside of PHE – who informed our lobbying on the future of the English public health system by offering their views and concerns at our membership consultation meetings held during 2020.

Following the announcement of the new proposed National Institute for Health Protection in August of 2020, FPH joined with ADPH and RSPH in issuing a statement of support for our members who, already under huge strain in responding to COVID-19, now faced even further uncertainty.

During 2020, FPH developed our new ‘Functions and Standards of a Public Health System’ document, against which we held Government to account on delivering on the essential functions of a public health system. The document also outlines the standards and contribution of the specialist public health workforce that are crucial to a robust UK public health structure.

Special Interest Groups

Throughout 2020, our 32 Special Interest Groups have produced outstanding work on a wide range of important public health topics. Some highlights included:

Members continue to volunteer their time to support the Faculty

Members who volunteer their personal time to deliver roles such as Trustees, Faculty Advisers, Assessors, CPD Advisers, examiners and so many others, are essential to the continued successes of the Faculty. Without them, the Faculty could not deliver such excellent work.

Over twenty-five committees report directly and indirectly to the Board of Trustees, and approximately 400 members take an active role in at least one or more of these committees.

Together they enable the Faulty of Public Health to meet our charitable objects of;

Global

FPH thanks the Global Health Committee, chaired by Professor Neil Squires, for their excellent work on the Faculty’s Global agenda.

FPH continued to support global public health through the Association of Schools of Public Health in the European Region and the International Association of National Public Health Institutes.

In April of 2020, FPH issued a statement noting that global action to tackle the pandemic must not be undermined after America withdrew its funding from the World Health Organisation.

During 2020 our Global Health Special Interest Groups were active in supporting colleagues internationally. Some highlights of this work include:

Events and seminars

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, all FPH events and meetings were moved online for 2020. Despite challenges in adapting our events calendar to meet these requirements we were very pleased to be able to hold a number of events for our members including:

Awards and Prizes

In 2020 we welcomed

Though we were unfortunately unable to hold an Awards and Prizes ceremony during 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions, we congratulate these members for their achievements.

In recognition of the pressures facing FPH members in tackling the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 cycle of Awards and Prizes was suspended.

With the announcement of changes to the public health system in England we also hosted several consultation meetings for members to offer their views and concerns.

Membership Fees

In December 2020 FPH was delighted to announce to members that there would be no increase in membership subscriptions or exam fees during 2021 – the second consecutive year we have been able to freeze fees.

UK Faculty of Public Health 2020 Annual Report

Treasurer’s report

I am pleased to present my fifth report as the FPH Treasurer, and I am happy to record that we achieved an unrestricted surplus of £226,983 in 2020 before investment gains.

This was an unprecedented year due to the COVID-19 pandemic which required many changes to our working practices including all FPH staff moving to remote working. The FPH staff headcount of 17 was 2 less than 2019 as we put a hold on recruitment.

Financial summary

In looking at our financial statements for 2020, ‘unrestricted funds’ are fully available for FPH to use for our operational activities, whilst ‘restricted funds’ have various restrictions placed on them.

Some of these restricted funds resource our prizes whilst others relate directly to grant-based projects and only become available once the project has been undertaken.

With these changes, Faculty costs were down during 2020 – despite the set-up costs of online examinations and increased Journal of Public Health costs – with savings made on travel, meeting, and premises costs.

We also faced some loss of income, owing greatly to the fact that we could not hold in-situ exams during Q1 of 2020 whilst we transferred exam sittings to an online environment. This work has now been delivered and we successfully moved to online exam sittings from November 2020, thereby limiting the impact on income.

The unrestricted surplus before investment gains (see below) was £226,983- this compares with an unrestricted surplus in 2019 before investment gains of £206,047.

The total surplus for the year before investment gains was £212,342 compared with a surplus of £181,133 in 2019.

The overall surplus after investment returns amounted to £230,162 compared with an overall surplus of £323,707 in 2019. This is reported in the two columns on the far right of the Statement of Financial Activities.

Total investment returns on unrestricted funds were £9,707.

Investments

We have partly used the surplus to improve the level of our reserves in accordance with the Faculty financial strategic plan.

We are planning to achieve at least balanced budgets in future years.

Our investments are managed by Smith and Williamson Investment Managers. The key objectives of the FPH investment policy are:

  1. Achieve an annual unrestricted income of at least £30,000 from dividends and interest.

  2. Achieve a return on investment at least in line with inflation within an acceptable level of risk.

  3. Where feasible, to channel investments into sectors that promote and support public health objectives whilst maintaining acceptable returns.

Unrestricted investment income in 2020 was £21,678 down from £31,143 in 2019 and the total return on investments was 3% (2019 14%).

26

UK Faculty of Public Health 2020 Annual Report

Unrestricted reserves

Unrestricted funds at 31 December (including designated funds of £154,628) totalled £1,648,595 representing 12.9 months of normal operational expenditure and 94% of yearly unrestricted turnover.

The Faculty currently aims to maintain reserves of at least 6 months’ normal operational expenditure, and would not normally expect to have over 12 months’ reserves; however 2020 was an exceptionally volatile year due to the pandemic.

The Board in 2021 has agreed to invest some of our reserves in our IT system, which will reduce our cover in the current financial year. We expect that cover will reduce to below 12 months as the pandemic eases and we return to more typical times.

Risk management

The Risk Management, Audit & Finance Committee (RMAFC) continues to manage risk for FPH and regularly reviews the risk register. All high-risk items were monitored closely throughout the year.

Committee issues

The RMAFC has developed a comprehensive work plan which is RAG rated. A Remuneration Committee set up in 2016 has operated satisfactorily.

VAT

From 2016, FPH has been VAT registered.

Audit

I am pleased to report that we received an unqualified audit report for the year.

Other reserves

Other reserves Other reserves
The following amounts were held at 31 December 2020:
Restricted funds £159, 683
Endowment funds £43,745

Details of funds are shown in Note 15 to the accounts.

Impact of Covid-19 on financial sustainability

The trustees have considered the impact of Covid-19 on the future finances of the charity. A substantial proportion of the charity’s income is protected from the impact of the measures and in 2020 shortfalls in income were offset by cost savings including a hold on new staff recruitment. We successfully moved to online exam sittings in 2020.

Thanks

Finally, we have achieved a very good financial performance in 2020 especially if we compare ourselves to the position in most medical Royal Colleges. This has been due to many factors but most particularly, I wish to pay credit to the support I have received from FPH staff and the members of the RMAFC.

Dr Ellis Friedman Treasurer

We have prepared a cash flow forecast to 31 December 2022 and we are confident that we can maintain our financial solvency whilst investing in IT system improvements despite any future disruption caused by COVID-19.

UK Faculty of Public Health 2020 Annual Report

Governance

The Faculty of Public Health (FPH) is a faculty of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the UK, the latter consisting of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow and the Royal College of Physicians of London. FPH is a registered charity (charity number 263894) and its governing instrument is its Standing Orders.

The charity has given due consideration to Charity Commission published guidance on the operation of the Public Benefit requirement.

The trustees are the voting members of the FPH Board. Three trustees are appointed by the parent colleges. The President and Vice President are elected by the membership through a single transferable vote system. The remaining officers are elected by the trustees. All officers are elected for a term of three years and, with the exception of the President, can stand for a further two-year term.

The remaining trustees are elected in accordance with the terms of Standing Orders 37-42 and the detailed procedures for the timetable and the single transferable vote system as agreed by the Board. The trustees who served during 2020 are listed in appendix 1.

Following their election, the trustees are presented with the FPH trustee handbook, given a briefing by the President and other officers as appropriate and given the opportunity to discuss administrative details further at the FPH offices. The trustees are also invited to spend time with FPH staff so that they can gain an understanding of how the organisation works.

The Board meets five times a year, once after the Annual General Meeting in accordance with Standing Order 49, three times to discuss general matters and a fifth time as an away day. The functions and powers of the Board are detailed in Standing Orders 50 and 52.

The vision and mission of the charity were updated in 2019 as part of the development of the FPH strategy for 20202025.

The Executive Committee carries out the functions set out in Standing Order 63, which include the power to act on behalf of the Board at the request of the President on matters of urgency.

A number of other standing committees are appointed by the Board to provide the structure to support the principal purposes of the organisation and are, in general, chaired by the officer with responsibility for that function.

Sub-committees and special committees with a limited lifespan may be appointed by the Board to assist it in any matter. All committees report to the Board via the Executive Committee. The committee structure in 2020 is set out in appendix 2.

FPH relies heavily on its members who work voluntarily on committees and are appointed into posts to take forward the work programme.

The Chief Executive is appointed and removed by the Board and is responsible for the day-to-day management of the staff and FPH headquarters in accordance with guidelines agreed by the Board.

Independent auditor’s report

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Faculty of Public Health (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2020 which comprise the statement of financial activities, balance sheet, statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on Faculty of Public Health’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

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

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

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

UK Faculty of Public Health 2020 Annual Report

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees’ responsibilities set out in the trustees’ annual report, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of noncompliance 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 are set out below.

Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:

32

UK Faculty of Public Health 2020 Annual Report

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities is available 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 regulations made under section 154 of that Act. 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.

UK Faculty of Public Health 2020 Annual Report

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 December 2020

1 Accounting policies

a) Statutory information

The Faculty of Public Health is an unincorporated charity registered with the Charity Commission in England & Wales. The registered office address is 4 St. Andrews Place, London, NW1 4LB.

b) Basis of preparation

“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), The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

“The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.

In applying the financial reporting framework, the trustees have made a number of subjective judgements, for example in respect of significant accounting estimates. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The nature of the estimation means the actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. Any significant estimates and judgements affecting these financial statements are detailed within the relevant accounting policy below.

c) Public benefit entity

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

d) Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern;

This is on the basis of the level of cash and investments held by the Faculty, in addition to an anticipated surplus in the year to 31 December 2021.

The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

e) Income

Incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) on the following basis:

Subscriptions, examination fees and other income received in advance of the related activity are deferred.

f) Interest receivable

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

g) Fund accounting

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

Endowment funds are perpetual funds where only the income generated from them is used for operational pusposes. Capital growth / loss is adjusted to the value of the funds. Authority to change their nature and status lies with the donors.

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

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.

37

UK Faculty of Public Health 2020 Annual Report

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 December 2020

h) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

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

i) Allocation of support costs

Resources expended are 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 are an estimate, based on staff time, of the amount attributable to each activity.

Where information about the aims, objectives and projects of the charity is provided to potential beneficiaries, the costs associated with this publicity are allocated to charitable expenditure.

Support and governance costs are re-allocated to each of the activities on the following basis which is an estimate, based on staff time, of the amount attributable to each activity

Professional standards and membership 45%
Examination and training fees 23%
Public health policy and advocacy 26%
International 5%
Journal of Public Health 1%

Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity. These costs are associated with constitutional and statutory requirements and include any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity’s activities.

j) Operating leases

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

k) Tangible fixed assets

Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £5,000. Depreciation costs are allocated to activities on the basis of the use of the related assets in those activities. Assets are reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate their carrying value may exceed their net realisable value and value in use.

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 straight line depreciation rates in use are as follows:

Intangible assets- website and IT system development 5 years
Offce and IT furniture and equipment 3 years

No depreciation has been provided on donated items as their NBV is considered a fair estimate of their value.

l) Listed investments

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. Any change in fair value will be recognised in the statement of financial activities. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and shown in the heading “Net gains/(losses) on investments” in the statement of financial activities. The charity does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.

m) 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.

n) 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.

38

UK Faculty of Public Health 2020 Annual Report

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 December 2020

o) Financial instruments

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

p) Pensions

The charity contributes 12.5% of employees basic salaries to an auto-enrolment pension scheme. Alternatively staff may opt to have contributions made to authorised pension schemes of their choice.
