Objectives Following the research, the objectives for the Chartered Institute agreed by the board in November are: l To increase the number of individual members through retention as well as acquisition. l To maintain and improve the CIPP’s financial position to ensure that benefit provision to members can be maintained and improved. l To develop the CIPP’s international payroll support, products and services. l To improve the CIPP’s pension support, products and services.

Financial The CIPP has recently put an offer in to purchase new premises in Solihull. Whilst being an investment to the CIPP initially, this purchase will assist the CIPP in becoming financially stable. Owning our offices will mean that we do not have to pay rent, which reduces the CIPP’s overheads and allows room for


staff growth. In addition, the office space has meeting facilities which will enable the CIPP head office to be a venue for training courses and module review days which will also allow for overheads to be reduced and finances to be re-invested into the membership services provision. Plans for membership are covered later in this article. The 2013 finances will be published prior to the 2014 annual general meeting (AGM) which is taking place in Birmingham on 10 July. Details of the AGM will be sent to members via PayrollProfessional and News On Line in due course and in accordance with the CIPP’s Royal Charter.
