economy, and reduce alcohol related crime and disorder in a town centre by building a positive relationship between the licensed trade, police and local authorities.
- Supporting PASS, the UK’s national proof of age accreditation scheme, endorsed by the Home Office, the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), the Security Industry Authority (SIA) and the Trading Standards Institute (TSI).
The Council reviews the aims, objectives, and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The Council reports the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the Council ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on its stated purposes.
The Council have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the Council consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set. The British Institute of Innkeeping does not raise funds specifically for fundraising and so does not use professional fundraisers.
## Achievements and performance
The charity's main activities and who it tries to help are described below. All its charitable activities are undertaken to further The British Institute of Innkeeping’s charitable purposes for the public benefit.
## Membership and member services
2021 remained a challenging year for the BII and its members with ongoing closures and trading restrictions. The BII team has continued its focus on delivering support for its members to enable them to navigate the pandemic with complex and frequently changing operating rules. Our communications have further been developed throughout the year delivering timely and accurate communication relied upon by our members.
Members have been engaged throughout the year for their feedback on their financial realities, operational challenges and need for critical ongoing support. These members’ insight reports have been used to provide a clear voice directly into Government for independently operated pubs. The resulting overall package of Government support has been broadly welcomed through 2021 and without it many more pubs would have failed. The BII will continue to make the case for ongoing support that will be needed to allow our members to start their recovery in 2022 as restrictions fall away completely across the UK.
The BII has taken every opportunity to provide a member voice directly into Government Ministers and key officials, across all key departments, in addition to presenting evidence to a number of All Party Parliamentary group enquiries. BII’s role as the leading membership organisation for individuals in the licensed trade, many being licensees of single pubs across the UK, has been recognised with its formal membership of the Government Hospitality Council which is focused on rebuilding the sector.

## Council’s Report
## For the year ended 31 December 2021
The BII team have done an exceptional job throughout 2021 passionately delivering against the BII purpose of doing all we can to keep great pubs thriving at the heart of their communities . Through regular communications: weekly INNFocus updates, interactive guides, speaking directly to members through our membership team and showcasing our professional support via our expert helplines, we have done all we can to help with our members priorities.
The quality of the support was recognised through our member survey with again 95% of members stating that they would recommend membership to others in the licensed trade. This has helped support the retention of members and grow the overall membership base. With around 10,000 members at the end of 2021, this has further solidified the BII organisation and provides a great platform for further growth into 2022.
2021 has seen the BII celebrated 40 years since it was founded. As restrictions eased, we were able to celebrate this key milestone with 900 guests at the BII Winter Event. The event was a celebration of the fantastic people in our sector with the awarding of our Licensee of the Year Award (LOYA) at its heart. The event was highly regarded by all who attended and has provided significant momentum into 2022 with the annual Summer Event back to its usual timing in June again celebrating LOYA 2022 which has been launched in January 2022. In addition, the team delivered a Tied Trade Forum in October, which was fully attended, which provided a platform to share best practice for pub groups and brewers who operate leased and tenanted pubs.
The team implemented significant changes throughout the year to both modernise the business and ensure we had a strong platform for further growth whilst continually developing new services. A major upgrade of all IT platforms was successfully completed in the first half of the year replacing the website, the membership portal and the CRM system. This has provided new capabilities and significantly reduced our costs & risks associated with these systems as they are all now cloud based services.
We also consolidated our office space requirements into a smaller fit for purpose office in Fleet. This space has been configured to allow for growth, the formal introduction of flexi-working for the team and areas for collaborative working. Whilst costs have been incurred for the move, refit and furnishing of the new offices, the overall ongoing office charges have been significantly reduced.
The senior leadership team (SLT) for the business has also been completed with new team members; Shila Singh, Head of Finance, and Hannah Solomons, Head of Membership Development. Both bring extensive external experience to the organisation. The overall SLT is working highly effectively as a team and delivering significant progress in all key areas. Morale in the wider team is strong with a committed team which has benefited from new team members in key roles in membership and communications.
A year of significant change which equips well for growing the organisation in terms of both services and member numbers.

## BIIAB
The BIIAB is the awarding organisation and end point organisation for work-based learning providers, FE Colleges and employers. They offer Qualifications, Apprenticeship Frameworks and End Point Assessments in over 25 sectors.
Following an extensive strategic review and detailed process the BII formally sold the BIIAB business to the Skills and Education Group in March 2021. This was following an extensive due diligence process ensuring the aims of the BIIAB will be maintained under new ownership. The agreement includes a long-term partnership with the Skills and Education Group that will enable the BII and BIIAB to work closely together to leverage the capabilities of both organisations to the benefit of members.
The partnership has made strong progress following the formal transition of the business. The respective Chief Executives are working closely on several key initiatives to ensure the pub and hospitality sector is fully supported with professional development pathways as it rebuilds its businesses and teams. The agreement is hugely beneficial to the BII, securing its long-term future and providing an opportunity to grow additional joint services with the expertise of the Skills and Education Group. The working relationship has been further enhanced with Paul Eeles CEO of the Skills and Education Group, joining the board of the BII, and Steve Alton CEO of The BII, joining the board of the Skills and Education Group. Paul Eeles, is a well-respected leader in the education and development sector for many years, having previously chaired the Federation of Awarding Bodies (FAB) for several years. Steven Alton, having led The BII for two years through the pandemic is also a director of Best Bar None (BBN), and an advisor for Only a Pavement Away, and a member of the Hospitability Sector Council, working closely with Government.
## Beneficiaries of our services
The BII aims to inspire, develop, and support individuals in the licensed retail and hospitality industry as its primary beneficiaries. The BII continues to believe that the benefits derived by individuals in its focus on raising professional standards, recruiting, developing, and retaining talent alongside providing support, advice, and guidance to individuals, provides a wider public benefit.
The BII remains passionate about the role its members and their pubs play in communities across the UK. Its Heart of the Community Award continues recognising individuals and teams who have gone above and beyond in serving their communities throughout the pandemic. Many of the 130 winners of this award joined as guests at the BII Winter Event in November. The BII has campaigned throughout the year for the deserved recognition that our members and their pubs play in their communities through local employment, providing skilled careers, supporting local suppliers & brewers and being an accessible, safe space for people to connect. Their role is supporting mental wellbeing and community connections irradicating loneliness and isolation remains critical. It was encouraging for those at the heart of Government to recognise the unique role pubs play in society which was explicitly referenced in the first published Government Hospitality Strategy.
BII continues to support Best Bar None Professional & Safer Venues ensuring that the public benefits from the schemes in improving standards and providing a safer night time economy. The scheme

is active across the UK and continues to have great success in achieving its aims of reducing alcohol related crime and disorder, reducing the harmful effects of binge drinking and improving knowledge and skills of individuals and enforcement and regulation agencies to help them responsibly manage licensed premises.
## Financial review
The further growth of membership numbers and delivery of the BII Winter Event much improved revenues in the year. This was balanced against significant reorganisation costs with new systems, the separation of the BIIAB, an office move, and changes in the team structure. Majority of these costs are one-offs and will enable the organisation to move forward on a significantly stronger platform. The organisation has been designed as a lean multiskilled team that will focus on its core objectives around delivering valued membership services and support for the delivery of its overall purpose. This has resulted in a trading loss for the membership organisation of £241,912 however, after accounting for the transfer of ownership of the Awarding Body to the Skills and Education Group which contributed £293,841, the overall business delivered a surplus of £51,929. The transfer of ownership allows for future conditional pay-outs which are dependent on BIIABQL delivering an agreed profit, this is for the coming five years. The changes implemented provide a strong platform for the membership business to profitably operate in 2022, allowing for further reserves to be created that will be used for further investment in additional member services.
During 2021 all cost areas were subject to a full review with key focus on office expenses, ICT cost and telecoms, to ensure we have a lean overheads base moving into 2022, which is fit for our current business requirements and structure.
## Reserves
Strong cash management has continued through this year with our cash reserves moving from a temporary level of £1.4m, back to an excepted and strong cash reserve of £1.1m, due to some known and planned one off payments. As expected, this has also reduced our net current assets from £848k to £633k. The overall position provides real security to the BII covering both three months of operating costs contingency of circa £320k as agreed by the Council and allows for further targeted investment moving forward.
The council believes that the reserves and cashflow position provides significant resilience and will ensure the charity remains a going concern over the next 18 months despite the current uncertainties.
## Going concern
The council are very pleased with the cash position in 2021. The losses incurred this year are predominantly non-trading and one-off restructuring items. This puts the charity in an extremely positive position with strengthened operational and senior leadership teams, new digital platforms, and a modern collaborative office environment. The plans for further development of services and membership growth are also well constructed.

The British Institute of Innkeeping
## Council’s Report
## For the year ended 31 December 2021
The BII team have already secured two new free-trade partnerships with a drinks digital wholesale solution and a global drinks brand that will drive new membership growth. Both of these are expected to start delivering new member growth as pubs start their recovery. The role of Membership Development is already delivering new members via estate wide commitments from regional pub groups. The overall SLT is focused on delivering both enhanced services and significant new member growth over the coming years.
The partnership with the Skills and Education Group also provides a source of income from the continued delivery of BIIAB products and services for BII members and the wider hospitality sector. The scale, expertise and collaboration through this partnership is expected to grow BIIAB revenues significantly as the sector tackles its strategic challenge to attract, develop and retain talent as it rebuilds its businesses over the coming years.
Based on the above assessment the Council considers that there are no material uncertainties on the going concern assumption.
## Principal risks and uncertainties
In accordance with SORP 2015, the business risks of the BII and the steps taken to manage those risks are documented on a risk register, which is reviewed by the management team and presented to Council. Council is satisfied that the risks are managed adequately. Risks are graded in terms of both potential financial impact and likelihood of occurrence.
One of the biggest risks from the pandemic is now business failure of our members, from the significant commercial damage to pub businesses from nearly two years of closure and severe trading restrictions. Supporting our members through the critical period ahead as they recover their businesses does present an opportunity for the BII team to both maintain membership and grow into the Free Trade sector, where we already have a strong track record. There does remain strong investment interest in the sector, and we believe that this could support the retention and growth of membership, despite this risk. However, the loss of independent licensees does present a risk of loss of long term and loyal members.
Overall membership continues to grow and initiatives with larger pub groups supporting their licensees through centrally paid membership has been secured on multiyear commitments. The membership base remains evenly split between free trade, leasehold and tenanted licensees providing further resilience in the longer term.
Privacy and data protection risks, while rated as a low possibility, carries severe implications. This continues to be addressed by strict system controls and adhering to guidance and regulation under the Data Protection Act.

For the year ended 31 December 2021
## Plans for the future
The BII team remains committed to further enhancing the core services provided by membership alongside targeting further growth. All areas are under constant review to drive further improvements.
Membership growth is a key priority, and we have clear plans to target estate wide membership in national and regional pub groups, alongside independent free trade growth through partners. There remains a strong free trade sector of around 20,000 pubs which presents a significant opportunity for growth.
Our events programme continues to develop, particularly after the significant success of the BII Winter Event. A minimum of three core member events will be delivered in the coming year: the BII People Conference showcasing the National Innovation in Training (NITAs) Awards in April, our Summer Event showcasing the Licensee of the Year Award (LOYA) in June and the Tied Trade Forum in October.
Our connection to our members is critical and we are enhancing the proactive contact across all our members. Building on the initial welcome call that all members get we are now adding additional contacts throughout the year to check in with all our members. The use of member insight surveys will continue to be a key platform to ensure we are developing our services and support in line with member priorities.
Our Trusted Partner network continues to grow strongly, and we see further opportunity in this area. As our members tackle the fragility of their business due to the pandemic and ongoing crippling inflation, they will need to review all areas of their business to improve the quality and cost of operations.
Our partnership with the Skills and Education brings together huge opportunities for growth for the BII and BIIAB together. The structural problem facing hospitality around resourcing presents significant opportunities to the BII & BIIAB promoting professional development pathways and membership support. In particular proving specific membership services for team members to support their performance and progression in hospitality remains a key focus area.
## Covid19 risks
The BII is hopeful that the pandemic impact is beginning to reach its end with normal operations expected to return to pubs in the first half of 2022 as all restrictions fall away across the UK.

Independent auditor’s report
To the members of
## The British Institute of Innkeeping
## Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The British Institute of Innkeeping (the ‘parent charitable company’) and its subsidiaries (the ‘group’) for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial activities, the group and parent charitable company balance sheets, the consolidated statement of cash flows and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of 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).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
- Give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and of the parent charitable company’s affairs as at 31 December 2021 and of the group’s incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended
- Have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice
- Have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.
## 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 group financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent charitable company 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.
## Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Council's 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 The British Institute of Innkeeping ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Council with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

The British Institute of Innkeeping
## Other Information
The other information comprises the information included in the Council’s annual report, other than the group financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Council is responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the group 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 group 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 group 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.
## Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- The information given in the Council’s annual report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements
- The Council’s annual report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements
## Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent charitable company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Council’s annual report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- Adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent charitable company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- The parent charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- Certain disclosures of Council members’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- We have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
- The directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the Council’s annual report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.

Independent auditor’s report
To the members of
## The British Institute of Innkeeping
## Responsibilities of the Council
As explained more fully in the statement of Council’s responsibilities set out in the Council’s annual report, the Council members (who are also the directors of the parent charitable company for the purposes of company law) 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 Council determines 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 Council is responsible for assessing the group’s and the parent charitable company’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 Council either intends to liquidate the group or the parent charitable company 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 auditor under the Companies Act 2006 and section 151 of the Charites Act 2011 and report in accordance with those Acts.
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 non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud 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:
- We enquired of management which included obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the group’s policies and procedures relating to:
- Identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;

## To the members of
## The British Institute of Innkeeping
- Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud;
- The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.
- We inspected the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the group operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a material effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations of the group from our professional and sector experience.
- We communicated applicable laws and regulations throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit.
- We reviewed any reports made to regulators where applicable.
- We reviewed the financial statement disclosures and tested these to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
- We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
- In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias and tested significant transactions that are unusual or those outside the normal course of business.
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.

The British Institute of Innkeeping
Notes to the financial statements
## For the year ended 31 December 2021
## 1 Accounting policies
## a) Basis of preparation and statutory information
The British Institute of Innkeeping is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is incorporated in the United Kingdom. The registered office address (and principal place of business) is Office 3 Sentinel House, Ancells Business Park, Harvest Crescent, Fleet GU51 2UZ.
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 Companies Act 2006.
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.
These financial statements consolidate the results of the charitable company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries BIIAB, BIIBusiness Ltd and BII Benchmarking and Accreditation Service Ltd on a line by line basis. BIIAB Qualifications Limited was a wholly owned subsiduary until 28th February 2021, and the income and expenditure for the two months have also been consolidated in these financial statements. Transactions and balances between the charitable company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements. Balances between the five companies are disclosed in the notes of the charitable company's balance sheet. A separate statement of financial activities, or income and expenditure account, for the charitable company itself is not presented because the charitable company has taken advantage of the exemptions afforded by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006.
Key judgements that the charity has made which have a significant effect on the accounts include disocunted long term debtors receivable from the sale of BIIAB Qualifications Limited.
## b) Public benefit entity
The charitable company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
## c) Going concern
The Council has taken steps to reposition the group’s business model to improve the long term financial position. Focus has been given to the growth of membership, cost efficiencies and identification of new business opportunities. As the Council considers the group is able to pay their debts as they fall due for a period for 12 months from signing these accounts, the going concern basis remains appropriate. The Council has considered there are no material uncertainties, including the impact of Covid-19 on the group's operations, on the going concern assumption.
## d) Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

The British Institute of Innkeeping
Notes to the financial statements
## For the year ended 31 December 2021
- 1 Accounting policies (continued)
- e) Donations of gifts, services and facilities
- Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item or received the service, any conditions associated with the donation have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), volunteer time is not recognised so refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.
On receipt, donated gifts, professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
## f) 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:
- Costs of raising funds relate to the costs incurred by the charitable company in inducing third parties to make voluntary contributions to it, as well as the cost of any activities with a fundraising purpose
- Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs
- Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
## g) 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.
|||2021 (Mar-|2021 (Jan-||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|||Dec)|Feb)|2,020|
||Qualifications, examination and education|0%|28%|28%|
||Membership|39%|25%|23%|
||Publications and handbooks|0%|2%|1%|
||Support costs|58%|43%|45%|
||Governance costs|1%|1%|1%|
||Trading|2%|1%|2%|
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.
||Qualifications, examination and education|0%|48%|55%|
|---|---|---|---|---|
||Membership|100%|47%|40%|
||Publications and handbooks|0%|5%|5%|
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.

Notes to the financial statements
## For the year ended 31 December 2021
## 1 Accounting policies (continued)
## h) Operating leases
Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
## i) Tangible fixed assets
Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £500. 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 depreciation rates in use are as follows:
- Computer equipment 33%
- Computer systems and database 50% Office and exhibition equipment 20% Fixtures and fittings 20%
## j) Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are at cost.
## k) Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. In general, cost is determined on a first in first out basis and includes transport and handling costs. Net realisable value is the price at which stocks can be sold in the normal course of business after allowing for the costs of realisation. Provision is made where necessary for obsolete, slow moving and defective stocks. Since the sale of the Awarding Body we no longer hold stock.
## l) 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. Accrued income from the sale of the Awarding Body has been valued with a discount rate of 10% to reflect the net present value.
- m) Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## 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.
## 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 Institute operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Institute in an independently administered fund. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable under the scheme by the Institute to the fund. The Institute has no liability under the scheme other than for the payment of those contributions.

This represents proceeds from Skills and Education Group over the next 5 years for the sale of the awarding body . BII is also entitled to a portion of profits of BIIAB up to 2026.
