- Providing day to day support and running administrative services for the successful Best Bar None Professional & Safer Venues scheme. The BBN scheme promotes and maintains an inclusive national Awards Scheme for all licensed premises across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The schemes’ aim is to promote responsible management and operation of alcohol licensed premises, improve standards in the night time 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.
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
2022 presented an incredibly challenging year for BII’s over 10,000 members predominantly licensees independently operating single pub businesses. Final trading restrictions fell away in the first quarter and initial positive trading hit significant inflationary pressures driving costs across all areas of pub businesses. Energy costs have risen to exceptional levels for operators not fixed into contract secured before 2022 with many facing 3-4 times previous levels of costs. All of these issues, plus the changing consumer habits due to the cost-of-living crisis, have prevented many of our members starting their full recovery in 2022 and many are facing an incredibly uncertain future.
The BII team has continued to provide regular Insight to Government officials, Ministers and MPs throughout the year through its well supported insight surveys. In addition we have supported a number of opportunities to get our members feeding back directly on key issues into Government and key stakeholders. The BII CEO Steve Alton has been fully engaged with the newly formed Hospitality Sector Council, and despite a number of changes in key Ministers, this has created a number of key initiatives to support the recovery and long term sustainability of our members’ pub businesses.

The British Institute of Innkeeping
Council’s Report
For the year ended 31 December 2022
Two areas of short-term support have been achieved; the re-rating of Business Rates evaluation has, for many, reduced overall rates alongside a 75% relief for 23/24 and the Energy Bill Relief Scheme has provided support with business energy bills. Longer term aims, aligned to our members’ priorities continue to be pursued; a hospitality sector VAT reduction, long term change to Business Rates recognising the community value of hospitality businesses and further support with fair energy costs. The BII launched its campaign #notjustapub to highlight the diverse and essential businesses pubs are in every community. At its heart is a call to action to engage all local MPs to gain their support for the measures pubs need in place to allow them to survive and thrive in every community.
The whole BII team remains passionate about its clear purpose to keeping pubs thriving at the heart of every community . A clear objective in 2022 has been to increase direct engagement with members throughout the year with greater outbound calls in addition to the weekly INNFocus email. The membership team has been further strengthened and is delivering circa 1000 successful calls per month to members, this is addition to circa 4000 inbound contacts received from members across the year to our BII Helpdesk. Our expert helplines have been well utilised throughout the year with over 1000 to our legal, HR and Licensing in addition to circa 400 to our Landlord & Pub co Relationship helpline. The team have continued to develop interactive guides with clear actionable information on key subjects including our energy saving, the Government Energy Bill Relief Scheme (EBRS), cyber security and business planning. The weekly INNFocus email remains one of the strongest engagement tools where open rates are double that of the industry average and with continued development of our CRM tools engagement is easily tracked.
The BII Team’s investment in IT has enabled new ways of working and allowed further development of key services. The CRM platform allows collection of key members insight that is used in realtime to track key issues allowing enhancements to guides, collateral and development of further services. The BII’s Trusted Partner network has continued to expand into a wider set of essential capabilities, products and services for our members. Working closely with these partners best practice collateral has been developed and delivered via online events, podcasts and though leadership articles in both INNFocus and the quarterly BII News.
The BII continues to focus its approach in three key areas; inspire, support and develop. Inspiring our members through sharing best practice, innovation and excellence from our members is key. Our two key award platforms; BII Licensee of the Year Award (LOYA) and the BII National Innovation in Training Award (NITA) provide an opportunity to recognise, celebrate and share best practice and innovation across our membership. Both award events are the culmination of day events; the BII Summer Event and the BII People Conference.
The BII People Conference and NITAs was held on the 22[nd] of April in East Wintergarden at Canary Wharf with around 300 people attending an inspiring day event featuring key speakers centred on the challenges of attracting, developing and retaining great talent leading into the NITA awards in the evening. In June the BII Summer Event returned to the HAC in London and despite significant disruption through a national rail and tube strike circa 550 people came together to celebrate the awarding of our Licensee of the Year Award (LOYA). At the event a number of proven current

operators were recognised as BII Ambassadors due to their commitment to supporting the BII, its members and the wider sector. These Ambassadors, and previously recognised individuals, have continued to heavily support the BII with insight, at events and in representing the BII with key stakeholders including Government.
Despite significant challenges throughout the year overall membership numbers have risen further to over 10,000 and the BII team are pursuing further growth in the coming year in particular focusing on free traders. Overall feedback remains strong on the quality and breadth of support the BII team provide to members. Our annual support survey in February recorded that 95% of members would recommend membership to others in the licensed trade. This insight survey was invaluable in highlighting key areas for further support such as sustainability, diversification and building teams which have featured highly across all platforms throughout the year.
The BII Team has been further strengthened in 2022 with both the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) working highly effectively together and the onboarding of new talented individuals in the membership and communications team. This has provided additional capabilities to the team resulting in new deliverables including a BII podcast platform and the in-house production of training collateral. The team is now well positioned to scale its deliverables to support the expected increase in member numbers.
On-going partnership with the 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. The BIIAB, now formally part of the Skills and Education Group since March 2021, remains a strategic long term partner of the BII. The partnership has further strengthened with both CEOs being directors of each other’s respective organisations with them also meeting regularly.
The overall market has started to recover as Government restrictions to trading eventually fell away in quarter 1 of 2022 and has now gained momentum towards the back end of the year. The respective teams continue to work closely together to provide joined up development pathways through qualifications and apprenticeships for BII members to develop and retain essential talent in their teams. The acquisition of talent for the wider hospitality sector remains a strategic challenge and the partnership provides a significant opportunity to enable professional development as a key driver on why join the sector.
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 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. The BII #notjustapub campaign has been used effectively to promote the wider social and community value of pubs alongside their clear economic and employment value. This approach will continue in the coming year as a positive platform and a call to action to engage local MPs for their support for the key measures needed to allow our members’ pubs to thrive.
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 expanding 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. In particular the safety of all individuals in the late night economy is paramount within the aims of Best Bar None.
Financial review
The year end provides a strong platform for further investment in membership services moving forward. The small surplus from core activities allows for a degree of resilience in still an uncertain environment for membership. The additional funds being generated from the partnership with the Skills and Education Group through the trading of the BIIAB are building key reserves for the BII. These reserves, whilst essential to ensure any economic headwinds can be navigated, provides an asset that is intended to be invested in facilities to directly facilitate the training and development of members and their teams. The Senior Leadership Team are developing plans for this initiative which is expected to be delivered in the coming years when funds allow.
In the meantime the team is investing the vast majority of funds received in delivering and constantly improving core membership services. They have worked extremely hard to reduce overheads to a viable minimum allowing further investment in team members to drive member value.
Reserves
Strong cash management has continued through this year which has allowed a further improvement in cash reserves to around £1.1m. Free reserves held by the group were also £1.1 million (unrestricted funds less the net book value of tangible fixed assets) at the year end. This improved position stems from a small trading surplus with the majority of the improvements coming from the proceeds from the sale of the BIIAB and ongoing profit share.
Our reserves policy is set at three months of operating costs, totalling £342,000 based on the budget for 2023 this is subject to an on-going review
The BII is now on a firmer financial footing and the Senior Leadership Team are reviewing a number of key initiatives that require significant financial investment to further enhance membership services.

The British Institute of Innkeeping
Council’s Report
For the year ended 31 December 2022
The council believes that the cashflow position provides significant resilience and will ensure the charity remains a going concern over the next 18 months despite the ongoing uncertainties.
Going concern
The council are very pleased with the improved cash position in 2022. A small surplus generated from core membership services is reflective of a well-run and lean organisation delivering with a clear focus. The team have worked hard to further reduce overheads and implement new technologies to streamline processes wherever possible. The plans for further growth are well founded and the quality of the existing membership services provides a platform for growth.
The BII Team has strong relationships across the market and are making good progress expanding membership into regional pub groups with a number being converted this year. Relationships with brands supporting free trade growth are strong and already yielding results. Even with the pressure on individual members and some business failure, the BII team are well positioned to continue growing their membership base.
The partnership with the Skills and Education Group also provides a solid source of income from the continued delivery of BIIAB products and services for BII members and the wider hospitality sector. The partnership is now gaining momentum after a slow start due to the pandemic and the team are confident of further growth with direct financial benefit to the BII.
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 remains the loss of members as businesses are at risk of failure following the pandemic, inflationary pressures across their businesses and extreme energy costs from contracts agreed in 2022. The sector has seen relatively low failure so far and with investment interest in acquiring pubs remaining strong and with our growing standing with national pub groups, we are confident that any loss of members will not be material.
Overall membership continues to grow, and the team have delivered agreements with the larger pub groups supporting their licensees through centrally paid membership which 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.

Council’s Report
For the year ended 31 December 2022
Privacy, data protection and cyber security risks, while rated as a low possibility, still carry severe implications. These continue to be addressed by strict system controls, adhering to guidance and regulation under the Data Protection Act and team wide training.
Plans for the future
The BII team remains focused on exploring new ways to fulfil its purpose whilst ensuring its core membership deliverables are maintained to the highest standard. Checking in with members and gaining their feedback is critical to ensure members priorities are addressed. The whole team are committed to long term growth of membership and are engaged in multiple initiatives to deliver this. The team continues to aim to double the membership in the medium term to 20,000 members and is confidence the core platforms and capabilities can all be scaled to deliver this.
Trusted Partners remain an important element of our membership offer providing expertise, products and services to improve our members businesses. We continue to develop deeper relationships with our core partners and seek out additional partners for new capabilities. In addition the BII Awards and events remain key platforms to recognise, celebrate and share innovation & best practice. The event quality continues to develop each year which has also improved financial performance whilst always ensuring excellent value for members and partners.
We have focused on enhancing engagement with members and good progress has been made. This remains a key focus in the coming year to ensure all off our members are engaged with our services and feel connected to their membership organisation. Our new team members and improved technology platform will enable this to be delivered effectively.
A key strategic challenge remains for our members which is the attraction, development and retention of talent. The BII will launch a new membership offer for team members this year to provide a platform to inspire, support and develop their careers and retention to the sector. This membership platform is being developed by a group of key partners and is expected to be launched around the half year point.

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 2022 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 2022 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.
13
Independent auditor’s report
To the members of
The British Institute of Innkeeping
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Council 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 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
14
Independent auditor’s report
To the members of
The British Institute of Innkeeping
- 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.
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.
15
Independent auditor’s report
To the members of
The British Institute of Innkeeping
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;
-
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 2022
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.
The financial statements for 2022 consolidate the results of the charitable company and its wholly-owned subsidiary BIIBusiness Ltd on a line by line basis. These 2021 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 subsidiary 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 discounted 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 on the group's operations or 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.
Both fixed consideration and profit share received from the sale of the Awarding Body to the Skills and Education Group on 28th February 2021 are included in gains on disposal of subsidiary.
Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 December 2022
1 Accounting policies (continued)
e) Donations of gifts, services and facilities
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) 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.
| 2022 | 2021 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| | Qualifications, examination and education | 0% | 28% |
| | Membership | 60% | 23% |
| | Publications and handbooks | 0% | 1% |
| | Support costs | 36% | 45% |
| | Governance costs | 1% | 1% |
| | Trading | 4% | 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% |
|---|---|---|---|
| | Membership | 100% | 47% |
| | Publications and handbooks | 0% | 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.
g) Operating leases
Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
h) Tangible fixed assets
Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £1,000. 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 depreciation rates in use are as follows:
-
Computer equipment 33%
-
Computer systems and database 50% Office and exhibition equipment 20% Fixtures and fittings 20% Cycle to work 33%
i) Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are at cost.
j) 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 profit share income from the sale of the Awarding Body has been valued with a discount rate of 10% to reflect the net present value.

-
k) 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.
l) 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.
m) 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.
n) 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.
o) Gains on disposal of subsidiary
These are calculated as the excess of discounted receipts over related discounted costs.
