OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

It is a requirement of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 that a charity has due regard to the guidance issued by the Commission on how the charity provides a "Public Benefit".

The Directors of the Institute have fully satisfied themselves that as a registered charity they do provide a Public Benefit. The Institute has as its main objective the promotion of the science, technology, practice and profession of Management Services, which results in the advancement of the efficiency, productivity and satisfaction of human work.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

The Council managed the administration of IMS until October 2021 when Cygnul Ltd, a complete outsourcing company, was appointed by the trustees.

The Institute's quarterly digital publication of the Journal 'Management Services' continues to be a highly respected publication and is provided free on-line to all members on the Institute website, worldwide. A printed copy of the Journal remains available to members who request it, on a subscription basis.

The Life Membership Scheme introduced in 2005 continues to underpin the financial viability of the Institute into the distant future. In 2023 the Institute again saw an increase in membership, including more Members joining from overseas and an increasing number of students becoming Life Members upon successful completion of their Institute examinations. Life Membership of the Institute continues to offer exceptional value for money to Members whilst contributing to the financial viability of the Institute.

The Institute website is its principal outward face and has attracted visits from all around the world. In 2023 the Trustees developed and introduced an enhanced website in order to continue its role as a major source of information on productivity improvement.

In 2023 the regular email newsletter continued to be emailed to all Institute members. It contains information from around the world on current productivity thinking and focuses on the Institutes core subject area of productivity improvement. The newsletter is freely available on the website informing members of Institute activities and events.

The President, Professor Colin Coulson-Thomas, remains an effective and prominent advocate of the Institute and its objectives internationally and his contribution is much appreciated by the Trustees and Membership.

Currently the Institute has one main UK education provider accredited to provide courses leading to the award of the Institutes Productivity Analyst Certificate. This provider also delivers Institute training courses in several overseas countries. This provides a valuable service and brings new members into the Institute. The Institute continues to award Student of the Year prizes and it is gratifying in the current uncertain conditions to note the number of large national UK companies, government departments and overseas companies who are sending employees on Institute approved education courses.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

The income and expenditure for the period and the financial position at the end of the year are shown in the attached financial statements.

Financially the Institute remains sound and the retention of Members as Life Members ensures that the Institute has an enduring membership base. On current predictions the present reserves will sustain the Institute for more than ten years. All investments are made using an investment strategy that safeguards the investments. Currently the main sources of income to the Institute are new members, interest from investments and income from education courses. In 2023 the Institute membership continued to grow with the addition of more Institute training courses.

Reserves policy

The Institute has a policy to maintain its reserves at a level that ensures the future financial viability of the Institute taking into consideration that the vast majority of members have life membership and only pay one initial membership subscription on joining. The current high level of reserves is considered appropriate to ensure the long-term viability of the Institute. The funds of the charity are all unrestricted.and at 31 December 2023 stood at £469,839.

FUTURE PLANS

The Institute has an ongoing campaign to increase membership and membership income, by encouraging existing members to upgrade to higher membership grades.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT SERVICES

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Organisational structure

The Institute Board has seven Trustees, who meet three times a year in addition to the Annual General Meeting. Trustees are elected by the Membership for a period of office of four years. Elections take place every two years, the last being held in 2023 and the next in 2025, and four Trustees are elected at each. Elections are held prior to the Annual General Meeting, where the results of the ballot are counted and reported. At the end of the financial year 2023 there were six Trustees in post. This current reduced number of Trustees is due to recent deaths and resignations. The Board of Trustees are actively seeking nominations from within the Institute's Corporate Membership to fill the consequent vacancies.

Decision making

The Directors of the company are also Charity Trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company's Articles are known as members of the Council of Management. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the members of the Council of Management are elected to serve for a period of four years after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting. All members of the Council of Management give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in a note to the financial statements.

Induction and training of new trustees

Most trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the charity. Additionally, new trustees are allocated a mentor and are encouraged to seek guidance from the mentor and in so doing familiarise themselves with the charity and the context within which it operates. The induction process is designed to support new trustees and ensure they understand the obligations of becoming a member of the IMS Council of Management.

Risk review, governance and internal control

The trustees are responsible for providing assurance that the systems of internal control are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss. They include regular financial reports to Council and external audit.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees (who are also the directors of Institute Of Management Services for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In so far as the trustees are aware:

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT SERVICES

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Institute Of Management Services (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and 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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.

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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the 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 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 the charitable company'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.

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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

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.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Page 6

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT SERVICES

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the 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 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 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 trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Page 7

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT SERVICES

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Based on our understanding of the company and the environment in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to regulatory requirements of the Charities Commission, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.

We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries and management bias in certain accounting estimates and judgements. Audit procedures performed included:

We also communicated identified laws and regulations to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.

Whilst considering how our audit work addressed the detection of irregularities, we also consider the likelihood of detection based on our approach. Irregularities arising from fraud are inherently more difficult to detect than those arising from error.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect any irregularities, including those leading to 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 and misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT SERVICES

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
