Annual Review 2009/10

Corporate Governance

Corporate Governance within BBC Worldwide is driven by our desire to promote and protect the values at the heart of the BBC brand, both in the UK and internationally, and details of our values are set out in the How We Do Business section. Together with the fact that we are a company wholly owned by a public body, this means that we have a unique and wide-ranging governance structure.

In September 2009, the BBC Trust published the results of the Commercial Review of BBC Worldwide's activities (www.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust). Among the conclusions was a requirement that BBC Worldwide's governance framework should be revised to provide greater transparency and compliance with The Combined Code.

In addition, we are also governed by the principles contained within the Royal Charter of July 2006, which is the constitutional basis for the BBC.

This section looks at both our corporate and commercial governance structures and implementation.

How the BBC Worldwide Board Operates

The Chairman leads the Board, setting its agenda and ensuring that each Director is able to contribute effectively to decision-making. The Chairman has no involvement in the day-to-day business of the BBC Worldwide Group of companies (the 'Group'). The Chief Executive holds day-to-day management responsibility for the Group's businesses, devising and implementing Group strategy, as agreed by the Board.

The division of responsibilities between the Chairman and Chief Executive has been set out in writing and agreed by the Board. A copy is available at www.bbcworldwide.com/media/13005/bbcw_role_of_chairman_and_ceo.doc.

The Non-executive Directors play a key role in providing independent advice and supervising governance issues. In addition, the Non-executive Directors have the opportunity to meet in the absence of the Executive Directors, which they did on one occasion during the financial year. The Board is satisfied that each Non-executive Director is able to give sufficient time commitment to BBC Worldwide.

The Company Secretary comprehensively briefs Directors on their responsibilities on appointment to the Board. All Directors are equally accountable for the proper stewardship of BBC Worldwide's affairs. The Executive Directors are also appointed to the Boards of various joint ventures and associated undertakings as appropriate and participate in the overview and management of those ventures, for which they do not receive any fees or additional compensation.

John Smith and Neil Chugani are Directors of UKTV, and a small number of its related companies, in respect of the joint venture between BBC Worldwide and Virgin Media. Additionally, John Smith holds Directorships within the Lonely Planet group of companies in which BBC Worldwide holds a 75% stake. During the year, Neil Chugani was a Director of 2 entertain Ltd prior to its acquisition by BBC Worldwide on 8 March 2010.

The Board has delegated certain of its responsibilities to:

• the Worldwide Executive Committee (which has further delegated specific investment responsibilities to the Content Investment Committee and the Investment Review Group as set out below)
• the Remuneration Committee
• the Audit Committee
• the Nominations Committee

Full terms of reference for each of these committees can be found on the BBC Worldwide website at www.bbcworldwide.com.

Further information on the BBC's Executive Board and the BBC Trust is available in the BBC Annual Report and Accounts (www.bbc.co.uk/annualreport/).

*Appointed 26 April 2010

Responsibilities

The responsibilities of the Audit Committee are set out in its terms of reference and include:

• monitoring the integrity of the financial statements including critical accounting policies and practices
• reviewing the effectiveness of systems in place for identifying and mitigating emerging risks facing the business
• assessing the effectiveness of systems for internal control and reporting

• monitoring the effectiveness of the internal audit function and BBC Worldwide's responsiveness to BBC Business Assurance's findings and recommendations
• reviewing the effectiveness and independence of the external auditors

The Board is satisfied that the Audit Committee has an appropriate range of financial experience.

We have implemented a policy to ensure that other services provided by the external auditors do not impair the auditors' objectivity and the Committee monitors this on a regular basis. The policy sets pre-approval requirements for non-audit services and outlines the types of service for which the external auditors would not be appropriate. The policy is reviewed annually. The external auditors are also appointed as auditors of subsidiary, joint-venture and associate undertakings wherever possible.

The Audit Committee met four times during the year, with both members attending each meeting. The Chief Executive, Chief Financial Officer, BBC Director of Risk and Assurance, the Chairman, external auditors, the Risk Advisory team and the Managing Directors of the operating businesses attend by invitation as appropriate. Both the BBC Director of Risk and Assurance and the external auditors have the opportunity to meet with the Audit Committee in the absence of executive management at least once a year and may do so at any other time they consider necessary. The BBC Worldwide Audit Committee submits quarterly reports to the BBC Executive Audit Committee. The Committee is responsible for monitoring risk management. Further details of our risk management processes are set out below.

*Appointed 2 June 2010

Responsibilities

The responsibilities of the Worldwide Executive Committee are set out in its terms of reference and include:

• managing operational matters delegated to it by the Board,within clearly defined approval limits
• managing the operations of the company
• devising and implementing strategy agreed by the Board
• identification and management of risk, and providing assurance to the Board

WEX is supported by the Content Investment Committee (CIC), whose responsibilities include the approval of programme and product investments of between £0.5m and £2.0m, and the Investment Review Group (IRG) which approves all routine and operational investments between £0.5m and £2.0m and all new business venture proposals. Both Committees are chaired by Neil Chugani, Chief Financial Officer. In addition, each business has its own Board which is chaired by the Managing Director of the relevant business area. Each Business Board has authority for routine and operational expenditure of up to £0.5m.

Accountability and Internal Control

The BBC Worldwide Board has overall responsibility for maintaining an adequate system of internal control and for reviewing its effectiveness. Such a system is designed to manage, rather than eliminate, the risk of failure to achieve business objectives and can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss.

The Board of Directors considers that there is an appropriate ongoing process for identifying, evaluating and managing significant risks faced by BBC Worldwide. The Board exercises control through an organisational structure with clearly defined levels of responsibility, authority and reporting procedures. Documented policies and procedures exist to define clearly the level of delegated authority for operational decision making and to provide structured processes for identifying and managing risk. These policies are applicable across the Group and ensure consistency worldwide.

Key policies include Ethics, Standards and Conflicts of Interest, BBC Worldwide Group Accounting Policies, Anti-fraud & Corruption Code of Conduct, Investment & Expenditure Approval Guidelines and the Protected Disclosure Policy. A compliance programme is currently being rolled out to ensure that all trading businesses comply with local laws and regulations.

Risk management

The Board has responsibility for the identification and management of risks facing the business. An assessment of the exposure to risk, and the extent to which these risks are controlled, including implementation of actions to mitigate risk, is updated and presented to the Audit Committee every three months. Each operating unit and major region monitors risks on an ongoing basis, providing their assessments to the Risk Management and Internal Control Committee (RMIC) quarterly.

In addition to the members of the RMIC (the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Operating Officer and the HR Director), Risk Advisory, the Company Secretary and the Director of Business and Legal Affairs attend all meetings, and the Managing Directors of the operating businesses are invited to attend on a rotating basis. WEX reviews the RMIC's report prior to it going to the Audit Committee. Management assessments are reviewed by the BBC's Business Assurance function, which reports on these matters to the BBC Executive Board and the Executive Audit Committee. This Committee considers risk management across the BBC Group as a whole. Within BBC Worldwide, the Risk Advisory team monitors risks facing the business and provides advice on developing the internal control environment.

Controls monitoring

The BBC's Business Assurance department provides an internal audit function in respect of BBC Worldwide on behalf of the BBC. The audit plan is based on a continuing assessment of key risks and monitoring compliance of key systems and processes and is approved by the Audit Committee. The results of testing are reported at each meeting of the Audit Committee, which scrutinises the operation of controls throughout the year. BBC Business Assurance's authority and independence are ensured by its joint independent reporting relationship to the BBC's Executive Audit Committee and to the BBC's Director-General. The scope of BBC Business Assurance includes the examination and evaluation of the adequacy and effectiveness of the systems of internal control and the quality of performance in carrying out assigned responsibilities. BBC Worldwide also calls on BBC Business Assurance and external accounting firms for advice on internal controls and programme governance as needed.

Operating units

Key controls over business risks include performance review and exception reporting. As referred to above, the Content Investment Committee approves all programme and product investment while the Investment Review Group approves all routine/operational investments.

Treasury activities

The Treasury team manages the Group's financial risk management operations, with trade execution carried out by BBC Group Treasury. Additional details on Treasury activities can be found in Further Financial Information.

Financial reporting

BBC Worldwide has a comprehensive budgeting system, with an annual budget and quarterly forecasts prepared by management and approved by the Board. Monthly financial information, including balance sheets, cash flow statements, trading results and indebtedness, are reported to Directors, allowing them to take action as appropriate.

Futureworks

Futureworks is a two-year initiative focusing on how BBC Worldwide can simplify and improve its business processes, systems and data to empower the company to achieve better results and greater profitability. The Futureworks programme has five work streams, each of which plays a pivotal role in achieving overall objectives:

• Rights & Deal Management. Having systems and data that support the company in managing rights data and helping it construct and execute profitable deals is vital to its continued success and growth
• Asset Management & Fulfilment. The past few years have seen significant change in the way BBC Worldwide manages and distributes its content. Whilst video tapes/DVDs still play a significant role, the need to be able to receive, store, adapt and distribute digital, file-based content increases almost daily. The rising prominence of brand-centric deals also requires it to be better at sharing content assets across divisions and geographies
• Royalty Cost & Data Management. The money paid to the talent who feature in products is one of the largest costs to the business. Accurate and timely processing of these costs is vital both in terms of its relationship with talent and in building an accurate picture of brand and product profitability
• Finance & Reporting. BBC Worldwide is embarking on a fundamental transformation of its Finance function. This workstream is looking at opportunities to improve its finance processes, make it easier to meet the company's future business needs and to ensure that Finance is a proactive partner, not only supporting its growth but also shaping its future
• Information Hub. This workstream will oversee the transformation of BBC Worldwide content and product data to a common catalogue accessible by people and business systems

Commercial Governance

4CC and Fair Trading

BBC Worldwide must demonstrate compliance with the BBC's Four Commercial Criteria (4CC). All commercial activities must:

• be commercially efficient
• fit and be consistent with the BBC's Public Purposes
• not jeopardise the good reputation of the BBC or the value of the BBC brand
• comply with BBC Fair Trading Policy & Guidelines and not distort the market

A range of approval processes and reporting procedures ensure that BBC Worldwide can demonstrate to the BBC Trust that throughout 2009/10, its commercial activities have continued to comply with the 4CC. The BBC's fair trading obligations are outlined in the BBC Trust's Statement of Policy on Fair Trading (www.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/) and the BBC's Fair Trading Guidelines (www.bbc.co.uk/aboutthebbc/policies/fairtrading/). As part of BBC Worldwide's commitment to a programme of continuous appraisal and improvement, BBC Worldwide has adopted a range of initiatives to ensure ongoing compliance, including a controls framework and an extensive programme of 4CC training and internal reporting. New proposals continue to be measured against the 4CC, both in their development and implementation.

Fair Trading Guidelines

During the year, compliance with the Fair Trading Guidelines was scrutinised by formal sub-committees of the BBC Trust and Executive Board. The management of the BBC's fair trading arrangements has been accredited with the ISO 9001:2008 quality standard. The most recent assessment by the British Standards Institute, conducted in December 2009, confirmed that the procedures were continuing to operate effectively. The BBC Trust commissions independent auditors, currently Deloitte, to undertake an annual Fair Trading Audit. Deloitte has confirmed that the BBC (including BBC Worldwide) hadestablished and applied a system of internal controls thatprovided reasonable assurance that it had complied with therequirements of Fair Trading rules for the year ended 31 March 2009. Further details of the audit and opinion can be found in the BBC Annual Report and Accounts for 2009/10 (www.bbc.co.uk/annualreport/).

Brand Protection

BBC Worldwide's brand-protection team continues to work with local investigators and enforcement authorities, including customs, trading standards and police, around the world to investigate infringements and undertake seizures and prosecutions in order to help control the market for pirate audiovisual products, counterfeit goods and other infringements of the Group and its partners' intellectual property rights, and with an increasing emphasis on online infringements, particularly on auction and content-sharing sites. BBC Worldwide is a member of various industry and enforcement bodies, including the Anti-counterfeiting Group, Television Against Piracy and Internet Enforcement Group in the UK, ABAC-BAAN in Belgium, and SNB-REACT in the Netherlands. The team also manages trademark protection of key BBC Worldwide brands, including the registration of marks and conducting oppositions to conflicting marks worldwide.

Data Protection

BBC Worldwide strives to respect the privacy of its customers, audiences, employees and contributors. As part of the BBC's data-protection compliance framework, BBC Worldwide is committed to holding personal data in accordance with the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998. Where BBC Worldwide operates in jurisdictions outside the UK, it may also be subject to the additional requirements of local laws. Compliance with data-protection legislation is treated with utmost importance and is an essential part of protecting the BBC brand. BBC Worldwide has established controls and procedures over the security of data held on computer systems. Arrangements are in place for computer processing to continue, and data to be retained, in case BBC Worldwide's own dataprocessing facility fails.

Relationship with Suppliers, Rights Holders and Producers

The BBC Worldwide Procurement team ensures that goods and services are obtained in a fair and transparent way with a clear emphasis on risk management, quality, service, cost and innovation. In addition we partner with critical and strategic suppliers to drive a continuous improvement agenda that ensures security of supply whilst maintaining TCOA (Total Cost of Ownership Approach) in sourcing decisions. BBC Worldwide is committed to dealing with all suppliers with clarity to ensure we deliver on our agreed payment terms whilst ensuring that the supplier delivers their performance commitment and quality parameters are met.

BBC Worldwide's increasing success not only gives a global platform to the best of British talent, but also delivers substantial financial returns to rights holders and producers. BBC Worldwide is committed to accounting accurately and on time to rights holders and continues to invest time and money in improving systems and processes, to enable it not only to meet the increase in volumes that success has produced, but also to provide a high level of customer service. The Talent Accounting Department at BBC Worldwide is responsible for accruing and paying royalties to contributors, independent producers and third-party profit participants.

Corporate Responsibility

Environmental Management

We reduce carbon emissions through our travel policy, which bans all domestic and near-European flights, and restricts long-haul flights. This has decreased business flight mileage by around 10% in the past year. In addition, a rainwater harvesting system at head office has saved almost 4m litres of water, we have sent zero waste directly to landfill from UK Head Office from December 2009, and staff received training in environmental best practice.

To supplement efforts in tackling carbon emissions, we are offsetting the remaining carbon footprints for our premises and travel in 2009/10 by investing in Gold Standard carbon-offset projects with The CarbonNeutral Company.

In the past year our magazines, including Radio Times and Top Gear, plus 75% of Lonely Planet guidebooks, have been printed on FSC-certified (Forest Stewardship Council) paper. We were delighted to be included in The Sunday Times Green List for the first time and were in the top five for Bigger Companies with Low Environmental Impact category.

People and Diversity

We have developed recruitment practices that ensure we attract a more diverse pool of candidates. There has been a high focus on creating new programmes to support staff development in the last year. Launched near year end these include: Aspire, which will help identify future business leaders, and a range of new performance management tools and training. Our induction programme has been completely refreshed.

Community Projects

We provide opportunities for our employees to get involved in community projects and charitable activities. Our volunteer scheme at the Jack Tizard School for pupils with severe learning difficulties is now in its third year. Staff have participated in team challenges and we regularly run internal fundraising drives for BBC charities such as Children in Need and Sport Relief. Staff can also contribute to personal charities by donating via our payroll-giving scheme. We have also developed a business-focused Enterprise Day with the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham for local secondary school and college students.
