BBC Annual Report and Accounts 2010/11
The BBC has published its Annual Report and Accounts for 2010/11 on its Annual Report website.
On this page, you will find links or downloads for a number of reports and research published by the BBC alongside the Annual Report and Accounts. These were commissioned as part of the Trust's ongoing programme of audience research and each covers a different area of ongoing or particular interest to the Trust.

BBC World Service Annual Review 2010/11
World Service research report - BBC Persian TV
Under the Terms of the BBC's Charter and Agreement the Trust has a duty of oversight of the World Service. This includes an annual performance review and independent research. The Trust takes a look at one or more services each year, carrying out rigorous research and analysis into its performance.
Audience Councils' annual reviews
The Trust works very closely with the Audience Councils in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. These councils play a key role helping the Trust understand the needs, interests and concerns of audiences. Each council is chaired by the Trust member for that nation. The councils' role is to bring a wide range of licence fee payers' perspectives to bear on the work of the Trust. Each council publishes an annual review of its work and summary of its Audience Council activity.
Purpose Remit reports
In order for the BBC to fulfil its mission to inform, educate and entertain, the Royal Charter and Agreement sets out six public purposes. The Trust has set remits for these public purposes, and in order to monitor the performance of the BBC in delivering the purposes, the Trust carries out an annual Purpose Remit Survey. This research asks respondents to express their views on both the importance they attach to the purpose priorities and on the BBC's current effectiveness in delivering them. Two waves of survey data were completed in 2010/2011 (September/October 2010 and February/March 2011) amongst 2273 adults. The results were weighted to be representative of the UK population.

Television Licence Fee Trust Statement
The BBC is required to produce the Trust Statement, which shows the revenue receivable from Licence Fee payers, in accordance with the Accounts Direction given by HM Treasury in accordance with Section 2 of the Exchequer and Audit Departments Act 1921.
Equality Impact Assessment
The Equality Impact Assessment (EIA) for the Annual Report Part 1 and Nations and Regions Reviews, was developed at the start of the Annual Report process and aims to assess any potential impacts, both positive and negative, on the main equality protected characteristics. The EIA records these impacts and in particular the mitigations which were put in place to limit any negative impacts identified.
