President’s foreword
It has been an honour for me to serve both as CILIP’s Vice President in 2022 and as President in 2023 – two very significant years in the long history of our professional association.
During this time CILIP has continued to strengthen its membership offer, creating new and impactful tools to help our members succeed, including through the new ‘future-ready’ Professional Knowledge and Skills Base (PKSB) and our leadership of sector Apprenticeships.
The CILIP team continues to deliver some of the most exciting and innovative work in the world of libraries, information and knowledge – for example, The Green Libraries Partnership, which is driving a new dialogue about our role in securing a more sustainable planet.
In responding to the Strategic Review commissioned by the Board in 2021, we have delivered decisive action to secure CILIP’s long-term future and to increase our profile and impact for our members.
Our relocation to new premises at the British Library has created new opportunities for partnership and development, and we have also celebrated the 125[th] Anniversary of our Royal Charter by creating the #CILIP125 list – an inspiring cohort of future leaders drawn from services across the whole breadth of the libraries, information, and knowledge management profession.
We know these are challenging times for the communities and users we serve, but CILIP is proud to be able to celebrate, champion, and support our members across more than 20 industry sectors. The impact our members have is incredible, but by standing together, we can achieve so much more – because together, We Are CILIP!
Mr John Trevor-Allen President, CILIP

CILIP Annual Report
Chair’s introduction
It has been my pleasure to serve as Chair of the Board of Trustees and to work with the dedicated staff team at CILIP during this period of significant change and transition for our Association.
Our first responsibility as Trustees is to ensure that appropriate plans are in place to ensure the financial viability and stability of the organisation. In 2022, on the basis of professional advice commissioned in 2021, we began the process of relocating away from our former premises at Ridgmount Street and of closing our legacy Pension Scheme.
I am pleased to confirm that both actions were progressed during 2022, subject to appropriate legal and professional advice, and as a result, we are well on our way to securing the long-term sustainability of our professional body.
We Are CILIP , our strategy and action plan, set out a compelling vision for our professional community, dedicated to changing lives for the better through quality information, services and expertise. The accompanying Business Plan demonstrates how we will grow both our membership and wider income streams to support an ambitious programme of impact on behalf of our members.
I want to record sincere thanks, on behalf of myself and the Trustees to our volunteer community, and in particular to our Regional Member Networks, Special Interest Groups, Devolved Nations and Diversity Networks for their solidarity and support during this time of transition. Also, my personal thanks to our talented trustees and staff team, led by our Chief Executive, for their commitment and skill in navigating the changes. Together #WeAreCILIP.
As we look ahead, we do so from a position of real strength. CILIP is delivering clear impact and value for members, we are addressing some of the most pressing challenges facing our profession and working together to create new opportunities for professional development.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees of CILIP, I commend this Annual Report to you as an accurate report of the performance of the Charity during the previous year.
Sue Lacey Bryant Chair, CILIP Board of Trustees

Membership information
CILIP is the only chartered body in the world dedicated to uniting, supporting, and advocating for information professionals and librarians in all sectors. CILIP is pleased to have welcomed hundreds of new members to CILIP during the past year.
Any member can undertake professional registration with CILIP, and all those who meet the required standard receive official recognition in the form of Certification, Chartership, or Fellowship. Each of these professional standards are recognised by employers, both in the UK and internationally. All three levels of professional registration have been certified by Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework, and have deemed to be equivalent to a Higher Certificate for Certification, a Bachelor’s degree for Chartership and a Master’s degree for Fellowship.
CILIP has a network of mentors who can support individuals going through the process of Professional Registration, and there are also a range of resources specially tailored to professional registration candidates.
CILIP’s commitment to all those working in the library, information and knowledge management sectors is a unique strength. It acts as a unifying body for the profession and helps to raise the profile of all those working in associated roles. It means that CILIP can advocate across sectors, build coalitions and partnerships, and develop new relationships to benefit all those who work in, or use information services. Members have benefitted from our core offer of community, advice, representation and access to expertise, and have pivoted to support post-pandemic recovery.
Membership is not only an investment in people’s skills and development, it is also an investment in the future of the profession helping to ensure that libraries, information and knowledge management services are valued and relevant in a world that is increasingly reliant on access to high-quality information.

Additional information
- Grant making
CILIP has acted as a grant-making body for the Green Libraries Grant Fund which distributed more than £40,000 in social impact investment during 2022 thanks to the support of the Arts Council England.
CILIP has also worked with NHS England Workforce, Training and Education (formerly Health Education England) to distribute grants to 14 public library authorities to fund Health and Digital Literacy Pilot projects in collaboration with local healthcare trusts.
CILIP will only fund projects and activities which are charitable, and which fall within the scope of our charitable purpose. Grant applications are assessed by an independent panel which use the following criteria when assessing proposals:
-
Due diligence
-
Relevance to the scope of the grant fund
-
Likely impact
-
Governance and leadership
-
Value for money
CILIP took expert advice from the grants team at the Arts Council England to ensure that the Green Libraries Grant Fund, promotion, assessment, and awards were open, accountable and promoted equity and diversity in their outcomes.

Financial Review
The financial statements were in the format required under the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP FRS 102) and the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) reflects the strategic priorities of CILIP.
Overview of 2022 financial position and performance for CILIP and CILIP Pathways
Limited
CILIP’s (group) income decreased by £242,509 from £4,091,535 in 2021 to £3,849,026 in 2022. This 6% decrease was mainly due to having received a large one-off COVID-related government funding in 2021. Training, events, and conference income increased by 66% reflecting a return to pre-COVID levels; publications increase by 30% from £642,063 in 2021 to £834,038 in 2022; whilst professional services decreased by 56% from £238,110 in 2021 to £105,523 in 2022.
CILIP’s (group) expenditure increased slightly by 10% from £3,901,107 in 2021 to £4,291,071 in 2022. This was in part due to the increase of training, events, and conference turnover.
In 2020, the CILIP Board agreed a COVID-19 Recovery Plan which included the following actions:
-
Implementing furlough of staff other than those required for essential functions or contractual commitments
-
Taking a Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan (CBILS) from the Royal Bank of Scotland
-
Agreeing the use of Reserves held by CILIP Member Networks and Devolved Nations
These actions were successful in sustaining CILIP’s operations through the 2020-22 period of disruption. The COVID-19 Recovery Plan was reviewed every six months and as the UK began to emerge from the pandemic, shifted to the repayment of liabilities incurred, including the phased repayment of the CBILS loan and the restoration of Member Network reserves against an agreed payment plan. All residual liabilities incurred during this period will have been paid down by the end of FY 2024.
Following the recommendations provided by BDO in their Strategic Review, CILIP also took steps to address our longer-term business strategy. The key elements of this included:
-
Strengthening membership as our core revenue driver
-
Maintaining and where possible growing our portfolio of diversified income-generating activity
-
Addressing the long-standing deficit in our Defined Benefit Pension Scheme
-
Realising the value of our owned premises at 7 Ridgmount Street
On the mandate of the CILIP Board, the sale of CILIP’s premises (which was jointly held as a contingent asset with the Pension Scheme) created an opportunity to close the ‘technical provisions’ deficit on the Pension Scheme. By agreement with the Pension Trustees a total of £9.5m from the proceeds of the sale was used to close this Deficit, in turn removing the requirement for regular Deficit Repair Contributions into the Scheme by CILIP.
In aggregate the actions taken by the Board during this period mean both that the Charity was able to sustain operations through the disruption of COVID and that significant steps have been taken to secure the long-term sustainability of CILIP’s work.

CILIP Pathways Limited has continued to grow through 2022. During the period ended 31 December 2022, CILIP Pathways Ltd generated a profit of £56,564 (2021: £21,352). 2022 Operational costs have remained steady whilst the number of assessments being conducted has increased as predicted. In addition, two funded development projects were secured in 2022.
The directors remain confident in the growth of the existing assessment service and the ability of CILIP Pathways Limited to increase the number of apprenticeships it assesses in future.
CILIP Pathways Limited is forecast to make increased profit in 2023, with future increase in profits yearon-year projected. In 2023 the directors plan to increase staffing to manage the ongoing increased demand for the existing assessment service and to allow capacity to develop additional assessments. Namely, through 2023, CILIP Pathways Limited will develop an assessment service for an existing approved sector-based Level 7 apprenticeship and will position to be ready to develop an additional Level 7 assessment service for a sector-based apprenticeship currently in development.

The total reserve carried forward in 2022 for central office activities was £634,380 in 2021 it was £958,817 as per note 19.

| The total designated funds development reserves as per note 17 | The total designated funds development reserves as per note 17 | analysed below: |
|---|---|---|

| Infrastructure development fund | £24,220 | £24,220 |
| TOTAL | £143,352 | £152,370 |
iv. Pension reserves
The trustees believe that the defined benefit pension scheme funding calculation, which can vary considerably according to the assumptions made at each year-end, has no material effect on the charity’s cash flows in the short term, and that in the longer term its effects are sustainable out of future income. For this reason, in the trustees’ view, it is disregarded for reserves policy purposes. The movement on the pension reserve of £484,000 in 2022 (2021: £2,117,000) as per note 22. In 2022 the pension scheme deficit was £4,450,000 (2021: £4,934,000).
v. Revaluation reserve
CILIP fully owns the central office building as a primary asset of the charity which generates revenues (rental of office and meeting space) which are driven back to support our charitable objects. The freehold property revaluation takes place every two years. The market value as at 31 December 2022 was £25,025,000 (as per note 9) (2021: £26,250,000).
Restricted funds activities
Restricted funds are those used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donors or raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds, where applicable, charged against the specific fund. The movement on the restricted fund is analysed in note 16.
14 | CILIP Annual Report & Accounts 2022

Further information on investment in subsidiary companies is set out in note 11.
Investment powers and selection of investments
The Royal Charter gives powers to the trustees to invest the monies of the Institute not immediately required for the furtherance of its objects in or upon such investments, securities or property as may thought fit. The Byelaws allow the Board to delegate power to an investment manager to buy and sell investments on behalf of the Institute, within a prescribed investment policy.
Funds which are expected to be available for more than two years may be put into long-term investments to provide both income and capital growth. Funds available for investment on either short or long-term periods are invested with appropriate external fund managers, who will comply with our investment objectives. The Finance, Audit and Risk Committee makes decisions on which managers are used.
CILIP’s investment policy and investment:
a) to maximise the total return from short- or long-term investments, both income and capital growth, without taking undue risk, and
b) to obtain the best interest rates available on short-term cash surpluses, without risking the capital.
The trustees will not invest directly in investments which conflict with CILIP’s aims and objectives as set out in the Royal Charter.
Restricted investments classified as long-term investments and unrestricted investments classified as short-term investments to fund CILIP’s strategic plan capital projects.
CILIP holds units in M&G Charifund. The Fund had a net yield of 4.5% in 2022 (2021: 4.0%). In addition to offering an attractive yield, Charifund has a strong long-term performance record.
The value of the total investments decreased in 2022 by 5.8% (2021: 13%) to £925,418 (2021: £979,169) with unrealised net loss of £53,792 (2021: £114,886) due to the stock market. Further information on CILIP’s investments is set out in note 10.
Reserves policy
CILIP’s reserves policy designed to determine the level of reserves required to:
-
Cover periods of low income (resulting from adverse market conditions or a fall in membership) while remedial action is taken
-
To cover an unexpected loss on a project
-
To cover unforeseen expenditure items
15 | CILIP Annual Report & Accounts 2022
Under the policy in place in 2022, the reserves required to fund central operations are a minimum of three months’ £1,072,767 (2021: £872,564) and a maximum of six months’ operating costs £2,145,534 (2021: £1,745,127). Central office reserves stood at £634,378 as at 31 December 2022 (2021: £958,817), which equates to approximately two months’ costs. Given the imminent sale of the building and the security of income, this was not seen as a risk.
In addition, the policy allows sums to be set aside in designated reserves for important expenditure outside the normal operating budget. If overspend occurs, this needs to be recouped within a few years.
This policy also applied to Member Networks, which retain separate reserves sufficient to fund their own activities. Member Networks’ reserve stood at £696,760 in 2022 (2021: £693,294).
Going concern assessment
In October 2023, the most severe implications of the COVID-19 pandemic appear to have passed in the UK. The sale of 7 Ridgmount Street completed in March 2023 and the trustees will aim to settle the defined benefit pension scheme liability during 2024. With significant cash reserves and a clear vision and strong operational plan, the Trustees are satisfied that the future is positive for CILIP.
Having reviewed the funding facilities available to CILIP together with the expected future cash flows, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that CILIP has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future and consider that there were no material uncertainties over CILIP’s financial viability. Accordingly, the trustees are of the view that CILIP is a going concern.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The Board recognises its responsibility for ensuring a sound system of risk management and internal control is in place. The Finance, Audit and Risk Committee provides assurance to the Board that this system is adequate and appropriate. The Senior Management Team is responsible for implementing the system of risk management and internal control and for identifying and evaluating risks, putting in place appropriate mitigating action and monitoring and reporting progress.
Key risks identified during the year were:
Financial risk including sale of building does not proceed; possible declining income from membership income and tenant income; potential increasing costs in relation to pensions; fall in value of investments; spiralling cost of living. Mitigating actions include regular review of risk by Finance, Audit and Risk Committee and Senior Leadership Team (SLT); strategy agreed with property advisors; introduction of marketing and sales strategy; regular meetings with Pension Trustees and investment advisers.

CILIP Pathways Limited (trading subsidiary)
CILIP maintains financial investments and Reserves in accordance with our Reserves Policy. The CILIP Finance, Audit and Risk Committee (FAR) maintains oversight and scrutiny of investment performance. CILIPs investment strategy is due for review in 2023 following the sale of our premises at 7 Ridgmount Street.
Future plans
Looking ahead, CILIP has ambitious plans to grow our impact and support for everyone working in libraries, information and knowledge management. We Are CILIP , our new 5-year strategy and action plan, defines our ambitions in four key areas:
-
To continue to grow and empower the CILIP Community as a true community-of-practice, providing timely and authoritative support for all information professionals
-
To achieve significant growth in CILIP’s role as an advocate for librarians, information and knowledge management, with a particular focus on media, Government and employers in all four Nations
-
To improve, streamline and open up our systems of professional development and recognition, with the aim of providing broader, more diverse and inclusive pathways into the profession
17 | CILIP Annual Report & Accounts 2022
- To deliver significant expansion in the scope of our professional events, training and publishing activities with a particular focus on digital transformation
2022 also marks an important year of transition in CILIP’s operations as we look to sell our premises at 7 Ridgmount Street and to use the sale proceeds to secure the long-term future of the organisation, particularly by mitigating the risk presented by the deficit on a legacy Defined Benefit Pension Scheme (closed to new members in 2011).
The relocation to new premises at the British Library, accompanied by an ongoing hybrid working policy and a programme of recruitment and organisational development will help to ensure that CILIP has the capacity to deliver on our plans.
An ambitious Digital Transformation programme in 2022-25 will significantly improve the organisation’s services to members.
Trustees’ analysis
As the world moves forward from the impact of a global pandemic, we find ourselves once again confronted with an uncertain future. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has had a significant impact on all UK charities, as have COVID and the UK’s departure from the European Union. More widely, geopolitical turbulence and the rise of populism create a challenging backdrop for a profession that is ethically committed to trust, evidence and accountability.
The past few years have provided an important ‘stress test’ for CILIP’s resilience. Thanks to our diversified income model, our agility and the support of our community, we have so far passed this test.
The decisive action we are taking in selling our premises will significantly reduce the risk to the organisation from our legacy Defined Benefit Pension Scheme, leaving the charity well-funded and without the need to service ongoing deficit contributions.
Our next priority is to ensure that the Charity is sustainable in its own right; to this end we have instructed the Executive to implement a new Business Plan focused on securing growth in our primary purpose trading activities and membership.
We are also working with our Devolved Nations and Member Networks to develop a Community Strategy, including the establishment of a new Members Council which will ensure a richer ongoing dialogue between the organisation and membership.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Policies).
Charity 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 charity and of its net income for that year, and adequately distinguish any material special trust or other restricted fund of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:
-
a) Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
-
b) Observe the methods and principles in the charities SORP FRS102 (2019).
-
c) Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
-
d) State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
-
e) Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the charity, and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts & Reports) Regulations and the provisions of the Royal Charter.
They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.
This Annual Report and Accounts complies with current statutory requirements, the requirements of CILIP’s Royal Charter and the current Statement of Recommended Practice on Accounting and Reporting by Charities.
So far as each Trustees is aware at the time the report is approved:
-
There is no relevant audit information of which CILIP’s auditors are unaware;
-
Each Trustee has taken all steps that they ought to have taken to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF LIBRARY AND INFORMATION PROFESSIONALS
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (the ‘parent charity’) and its subsidiaries (the ‘group’) for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 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 parent charity’s affairs as at 31 December 2022, and of its 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; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of 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 responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
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 consolidated 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 group or charity'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 other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the 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.
24 | CILIP Annual Report & Accounts 2022
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the group financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees’ report; or
-
the charity has not kept adequate and proper accounting records; or
-
the group financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the group 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 group financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the group financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group’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 group or the parent charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made or having effect there under.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the group 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, is detailed below:
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the group and the sector in which it operates and considered the risk of the group not complying with the relevant laws and regulations including fraud in particular those that could have a material impact on the financial statements. This included those regulations directly related to the financial statements, including financial reporting, and tax legislation. In relation to the operations of the group this included compliance with the Charities Act 2011.
The risks were discussed with the audit team and we remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. We carried out specific procedures to address the risks identified. These included the following:
Reviewing minutes of Board meetings, reviewing any correspondence with the Charity Commission, agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation, and made enquiries of management and officers of the group and a review of legal fees.
To address the risk of management override of controls, we carried out testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness. We also assessed management bias in relation to the accounting policies adopted and in determining significant accounting estimates.
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.
25 | CILIP Annual Report & Accounts 2022
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 FRC's website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditors/audit-assurance/auditor-s-responsibilities-for-the-audit-of-the-fi/description-ofthe-auditor%E2%80%99s-responsibilities-for.This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Accounts
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 Basis of accounting
The consolidated 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) (effective 1 January 2019) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
CILIP’s functional currency is pounds sterling and the address is Room 150, British Library, 96 Euston Road, London, NW1 2DB.
CILIP is a charity under Royal Charter and meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
The consolidated financial statements presented show the consolidated statement of financial activities, balance sheet and cash flows of the CILIP Group for the year ended 31 December 2022. The CILIP Group financial statements consolidate the accounts of CILIP as a charity and CILIP Pathways Ltd wholly owned trading subsidiary on a line-byline basis.
Going concern
These financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis. The trustees have considered the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the going concern assumptions. The Finance and Audit Risk committee has reviewed and approved a detailed impact assessment presented by the Chief Executive Officer, Director of Transformation and Head of Finance on 30[th] June 2022.
Although the most severe implications of the COVID-19 pandemic appear to have passed in the UK, there are still some uncertainties about the long-term effect on income. Trustees are satisfied that an effective plan and risk controls are in place to enable the organisation to transition from its existing premises at 7 Ridgmount Street to a stable future operating model.
Having reviewed the funding facilities available to CILIP together with the expected future cash flows in financial years 2022 and 2023, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that CILIP has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future and consider that there were no material uncertainties over CILIP’s financial viability. Accordingly, the trustees are of the view that CILIP is a going concern.
The particular accounting policies adopted by the Trustees described below and have been applied consistently throughout the current and preceding year.
1.2 Income
All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when CILIP is legally entitled to them as income or capital respectively, ultimate receipt is reasonably certain and the amount to be recognised quantified with reasonable accuracy.
- 1.2.1 Membership income: is the subscription received from members to buy a right to services and other benefits and this is recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities.
30 | CILIP Annual Report & Accounts 2022
-
1.2.2 Income from rent, royalties, interest, dividend and other income is accounted for when receivable and can be measured reliably by CILIP.
-
1.2.3 Income received in advance of specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met (see note 14)
-
1.2.4 Donation and grants income: is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably.
-
1.2.5 Government grants income: are accounted for when receivable, as long as there is evidence of entitlement, receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably.
-
1.2.6 Legacy: receipt of a legacy is recognised when it is probable that it will be received. Legacy receipt is probable when:
-
there has been grant of probate
-
the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate, after settling any liabilities, to pay legacy and
-
any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.
1.3 Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
-
1.3.1 All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party on an accruals basis, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to each activity. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to a particular heading, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of the resource.
-
1.3.2 Support costs have been allocated to activities on the following basis:
| Building costs | Square footage occupied |
|---|---|
| ICT and Personnel costs | Per Capita basis |
| Finance costs | Estimated time spent |
| Governance costs | Proportion of total charitable expenditure and cost of raising funds |
Governance costs relate to the organisational administration in compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Costs of raising funds are primarily those incurred in raising funds for CILIP’s charitable activities.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
1.4 Operating leases
Rental incomes under operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessors are recognised in the statement of financial activities as income.
1.5 Employee benefits
Short term benefits
Short term benefits including holiday pay are recognised as an expense in the period in which the service is received.
31 | CILIP Annual Report & Accounts 2022
Employee termination benefits
Termination benefits are accounted for on an accruals basis and in line with FRS 102.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Freehold property: revaluation to market value every year has been adopted. In any accounting period where a revaluation is not undertaken an impairment review will be conducted and provision would be made for any impairment.
Depreciation: is charged at the following rates, which are expected to reduce the assets to their net realisable values over their expected lives:
Furniture, fixtures and equipment 20% per annum on cost Computers and programs 25% per annum on cost Plant and machinery Various rate
All tangible fixed assets are capitalised, subject to a cost threshold of £1,000.
1.7 Investments
Investments are listed on a recognised stock exchange and stated at fair value at the balance sheet date. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals throughout the year.
1.8 Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making allowance for any obsolete or slow-moving items. In the case of work in progress and finished goods, costs consist of direct materials, direct labour and attributable overheads. Net realisable value means estimated selling price less all further costs to completion and all costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
1.9 Financial instruments
CILIP 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. Fixed assets are recorded at depreciated historical cost and investments are recorded at fair value, being the closing market value, with unrecognised gains or losses being posted to the SOFA. All other assets and liabilities are recorded at cost which is their fair value.
1.10 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.
1.11 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term deposits with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of opening of the deposit or similar account.
1.12 Creditors and Provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised when CILIP 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.
- 1.13 Fund accounting
32 | CILIP Annual Report & Accounts 2022
-
1.13.1 Unrestricted funds: are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the organisation and which have not been designated for other purposes.
-
1.13.2 Designated funds : comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in note 17.
-
1.13.3 Restricted funds: which are detailed in note 16, are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds, where applicable, are charged against the specific fund.
1.14 Accounting judgements and estimates
-
In preparing these financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions in the reported defined benefit pension scheme and property valuation in the disclosures made in the financial statements. Estimates, assumptions and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historic experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable.
-
1.15 CILIP operates two pension schemes:
-
1.15.1 CILIP operates a defined benefit pension scheme on behalf of employees.
The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of CILIP in an independently administered fund. The scheme is funded by contributions from the employer in accordance with the recommendations of independent qualified actuaries on the basis of triennial valuations. The Pensions Act 2004 sets out a statutory funding objective: that every pension scheme must have sufficient and appropriate assets to cover its funding target (referred to in legislation as Technical Provisions) and if there is a shortfall the trustees and the employer are required to agree a Recovery Plan to make this good. The Pension Scheme trustees have accepted a charge of the full value of the building secured on the freehold property against the shortfall. The pension scheme was closed to new members on 1 April 2009 and was closed to existing members for further accruals from 31 March 2011.
For CILIP’s defined benefit pension scheme the amounts charged in arriving at net income/ (expenditure) in the Statement of Financial Activities are the expenses and net interest costs & income, employer’s contributions and benefits paid. Actuarial gains and losses are also recognised in the SOFA together with other recognised gains and losses. Further details of the defined benefit pension scheme are set out in note 22.
1.15.2 CILIP also operates a defined contribution pension scheme.
Payments made by CILIP into the group stakeholder salary sacrifice pension scheme on behalf of individual employees are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as incurred.

22 PENSION COMMITMENTS
CILIP operates two pension schemes:
22.1 Defined Contribution Pension Scheme
CILIP’s existing employees were entitled to join the Scottish Widows group stakeholder salary sacrifice pension scheme, which is funded, by 5% of salary contribution from employee and 10% of salary contribution by the employer. New and existing employees who are not in the scheme may join at any time. Staff may opt-out of the scheme at any time.
The amount paid into the scheme by CILIP in 2022 was £143,403 (2020: £141,240). The amount within trade creditors in note 14 above was £17,673 (2021: £18,294).
22.2 A Defined Benefit Pension Scheme in the UK.
This is a separate trustee administered fund, holding the pension scheme assets to meet long term pension liabilities. The results of the most recent triennial actuarial valuation as at 31 December 2019 revealed a funding shortfall of £9,538,000. By agreement with the Pension Trustees, at the point at which the £9.5m is paid into the Scheme to cover the Technical Provisions deficit, CILIP will no longer be liable for the payment of regular Deficit Repair Contributions and ongoing Scheme costs will be covered from funds held jointly in escrow.
To eliminate this funding shortfall, the Pension Trustee and CILIP (the Employer) have agreed that contributions totalling £9,500,000 will be paid to the Scheme by the Employer on or before 31 December 2022 (rolled forward to 31 March 2023 by agreement with the Pension Trustees).
49 | CILIP Annual Report & Accounts 2022
Contributions of £135,000 paid in 2022 were in accordance with the Recovery Plan agreed after the triennial actuarial valuation as at 31 December 2019. The amount paid in advance for January 2023 within other creditors in note 14 above was £60,000. The amount within other creditors in note 14 above for 2021 was £15,000.
Trustees are aware that the volatile investment market is expected to have an impact on the pension scheme in terms of asset values and the measure of liabilities. No information has been received to date as to the quantum of the impact of COVID-19 on the pension scheme, and no requests for any change to deficit funding have been received.
A full actuarial valuation was carried out at 31 December 2019 and updated to 31 December 2022 by a qualified actuary, independent of the scheme’s sponsoring employer. The major assumptions used by the actuary shown below:
| 2022 | 2021 | 2020 | 2019 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Discount rate | 4.90% | 1.85% | 1.35% | 2.15% |

| Allowance for pension in payment increases of RPI (p.a.) | 3.25% | 3.40% | 2.90% | 2.95% |
| Allowance for pension in payment increases of RPI or 2.5% p.a. if less | 2.00% | 2.250% | 2.10% | 2.15% |
| Allowance for pension in payment increases of RPI or 3% p.a. if less | 2.10% | 2.40% | 2.05% | 1.90% |
