ENGINEERING INTEGRITY SOCIETY (REGISTERED NUMBER: 01959979)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024


The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The charity's objective and principal activity is to provide a forum for engineers, technicians and materials specialists to discuss and assess technological developments and their practical application to measurement techniques and structural integrity and noise, vibration and human characteristics of components, sub assemblies and complete products.

Public benefit
The trustees have complied with the duty in section 4 of the 2006 Charities Act to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission.

The Society provides a forum for the interchange of ideas and information for practising engineers and engineering researchers, as well as a journal containing technical papers, topical discussion pieces and news, and regular events.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Summary of Main Achievements During The Year
The Directors are pleased to report that the EIS has made excellent progress this year in rebuilding its portfolio of activities and has strengthened its financial position. The Annual Report records in detail that we state a net surplus of £23,352 and total funds of £178,719 at the year end, whilst maintaining our charitable activities. We also note that there have been several changes to the Board of Directors. Sadly, we lost Norman Thornton in October and he will be greatly missed as a longstanding and active member and Director of the EIS. In June, Nick Richardson retired as a Director and we thank him for his long service to the Society. In February we were pleased to welcome Connor Bligh as a Director and we look forward to working with him as we plan for the future of the Society.
The financial position of the Society has benefited from running the Instrumentation, Analysis and Testing Exhibition twice in this reporting period as this suited both our workload plans and the availability of the facilities at Silverstone. Both exhibitions were a great success with space selling out well in advance. There were good attendance figures for both events and high satisfaction from exhibitors and attendees. In view of the demand from existing and potential future exhibitors the Directors have reviewed alternative facilities at Silverstone and plan to offer a larger event in April 2025.
We are extremely grateful to our Corporate Members for their support both in terms of their membership subscriptions and their willingness to allow staff to spend time on EIS activities. The list of EIS events is recorded in Note 12 of the Accounts and it is pleasing to note the increase in successful seminars compared with recent years.
We have maintained our portfolio of charitable activities with a free webinar, Young Engineers events, sponsorship of the University of Wolverhampton student motor racing activities, our Journal, newsletters and social media communications, and the Peter Watson Prize. The Peter Watson Prize was again held at Kilworth House in November with very strong entries from a wide range of Universities and companies. We hope that many of these young engineers will join us in Cambridge for Fatigue 2024.
The Directors continue to monitor the Society's structures, plans and financial commitments closely. Our financial reserves have enabled us to emerge from the challenging times in recent years in a good position to run our major international conference in Cambridge in June 2024. We anticipate being able to report on a successful event in the next annual accounts as well as an increased range of seminars and charitable activities.
In summary, the EIS has had a successful year, both in terms of meeting its charitable aims and delivering an increased portfolio of events, and we look forward building on this position in 2024/25.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The Society's financial position is recorded in detail in this Annual Report An amount of £90,385 has been carried forward to the new financial year as deferred income. This mainly comprises credits for Fatigue 2024..
Our capital reserves have allowed us to maintain the society's charitable activities through this difficult period.
In summary, our current income and reserves are sufficient to maintain our planned activities. It is the Trustees' intention to maintain this position whilst growing the numbers of engineers who engage with the Society as members, delegates and presenters.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
ENGINEERING INTEGRITY SOCIETY

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Engineering Integrity Society ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
