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 2026. 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.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Summary of Main Achievements During The Year

The Engineering Integrity Society continues to successfully navigate the turbulent waters arising from the geopolitical instabilities beyond its control. Our offering of events and support for the engineering community has diversified with the impact of increasing our charitable activities and slightly reducing our reserves. We are delighted to be able to continue to reach a new audience of early career engineers.; the enthusiastic engagement of these young people provides the Society with a strong basis for our future.

The overall financial position of the Society is strong, as reported in the financial statement below. The headline figure of our total funds of £175,205, whilst around £10,000 lower than in 2014/25, is comparable with the years in which we do not run our international conference. Our highly acclaimed trade exhibition at Silverstone Circuit, IATE25, and our strong corporate membership remain our core income and we hugely grateful for the support that our industrial and commercial partners bring to the Society.

The trend of increasing interest in online events and the decline in attendance at one day seminars and workshops continues. Whilst the positive impact this has on engagement with the Society is welcomed, it has changed the balance of our income generation to charitable expenditure. This, combined with the launch of a special series of events to mark our 40th anniversary, has contributed to our small decline in reserves. However, our EIS40 programme, where we have recruited a group of early careers engineers for a dedicated series of visits and workshops has been a great success and has also enabled us to strengthen our links with some key engineering companies. We continue with our sponsorship of student extra-curricular engineering projects and have enjoyed the increased engagement of the students with the EIS.

The Directors closely monitor the Society's structures, plans and financial commitments. We have considered our position on our reserves and have retained funds to support our annual trade exhibition, our triennial international conference and our increasing portfolio of student sponsorship, free workshops and webinars. The exhibition and conference are high cost events with considerable initial expenditure. We are cognisant of the existential risk to the Society, potentially up to £50,000 for each, should there be a reduction in demand for either due to a change in local or global economic conditions. We are therefore committed to maintaining our current level of reserves.

In summary, the EIS has had another successful year and is well-positioned to continue to deliver high quality events for all of its stakeholders.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

The Society's financial position is recorded in detail in this Annual Report 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.

Reserves policy

The Trustees have ensured that all cash reserves, apart from those required for the day to day operation of the company, are held in an interest bearing account, and that the company aims to have a free reserve to cover costs associated with any future events.

Our financial strategy of building reserves provides the Society with the resilience to promote engineering to young people and support them in their professional development during the politically and financially uncertain times ahead.

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.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees (who are also the directors of Engineering Integrity Society 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. Under that law, the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).

Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they 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

-	select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

-	observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;

-	make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

-	prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company 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 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.

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.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 25 June 2026 and signed on its behalf by:

Dr J R Yates (Chair) - Trustee

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 2026.

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.
