    • Our Royal Charter

    CIM’s purpose, powers and governance are established by our Royal Charter, bye-laws and regulation. Together they are known as The Constitution.

    Like all chartered bodies, CIM is regulated by the Privy Council, a group of advisors to the King.  Amendments to our Charter can only be made with the agreement of the King in Council, and amendments to our bye-laws must be approved by the Privy Council.

    Less than 1,000 Royal Charters have been granted since 1231. Charters are granted very rarely, usually for bodies working in the public interest, such as professional institutions like CIM.
