Objectives and Activities for the Public Benefit
The Object of the Charity as per the governing document is:-
- To promote such educational purposes that are defined as charitable under the law of England.
The charity aims to support a number of students from Sarah Lawrence College, New York, and other institutions of higher education, as fully recognised Visiting Students of the University of Oxford, via its affiliation with Wadham College. This is achieved by providing programme participants with:-
-
Status as Registered Visiting Students of the University of Oxford.
-
A full year academic program.
-
Full access to the lectures and libraries of the University.
-
Program provided housing.
-
Complete social, cultural and academic integration into life at Wadham College.
The Trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers and duties.
Achievements and Performance
17 students from Sarah Lawrence College, 2 from Pitzer College, 1 from Colby College and 2 from Zhejiang University in China studied at Oxford University and Wadham College, as fully recognised Visiting Students. Both students from China studied remotely, 1 for a single term. All other students studied in-person for an entire year. The students achieved considerable academic success.
Financial Review
The results for the year are shown in the income and expenditure account on page 4. Unrestricted free reserves at the year end were in deficit by £50,342 (2021: in surplus by £2,684), due to the provision required for the pension scheme noted below. The trustees feel that the charity does not need to hold a targeted level of reserves, as funding for each year is provided by Sarah Lawrence College in the U.S.
Due to updated guidance in 2016 from the USS pension scheme about its pension deficit, and in accordance with the FRS 102 SORP, the charity continues to record a liability based on estimates of future personnel wages and other future conditions. This liability is subject to change with each actuarial valuation and is payable over the next 16 years as a percentage of wages. Full details are in note 13.
Plans for Future Periods
The charity aims to continue with its existing operations as required by Sarah Lawrence College. 25 students plan to start studying at Oxford in the Autumn.
This report has been prepared having taken advantage of the small companies’ exemption in the Companies Act 2006.

1 Summary of significant accounting policies
General information and basis of preparation
Sarah Lawrence at Oxford is a charitable company limited by guarantee in the United Kingdom. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information in these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are detailed in the Trustees’ Report.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting 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) issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and have not been designated for other purposes.
Income recognition
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
Resources expended
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings:
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes costs that can be allocated directly to such activities, and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.

1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Support costs allocation
Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs and administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management. The analysis of these costs is included in note 4.
Employee benefits
When employees have rendered service to the charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service.
The charity participates in the Universities Superannuation Scheme (the scheme). The scheme is a hybrid pension scheme, providing defined benefits (for all members), as well as defined contribution benefits. The assets of the scheme are held in a separate trustee-administered fund. Because of the mutual nature of the scheme, the scheme’s assets are not attributed to individual institutions and a scheme-wide contribution rate is set. The charity is therefore exposed to actuarial risks associated with other institutions’ employees and is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the scheme on a consistent and reasonable basis. As required by Section 28 of FRS 102 “Employee benefits”, the charity therefore accounts for the scheme as if it were a wholly defined contribution scheme. As a result, the amount charged to the income and expenditure account represents the contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period. Since the charity has entered into an agreement (the Recovery Plan) that determines how each employer within the scheme will fund the overall deficit, the charity recognises a liability for the contributions payable that arise from the agreement (to the extent that they relate to the deficit) and the resulting expense is recognised in the income and expenditure account.
Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. There is no indication that the support and funding from Sarah Lawrence College will be withdrawn, and therefore the budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
Critical accounting judgements
FRS 102 makes the distinction between a Group Plan and a multi-employer scheme. A Group Plan consists of a collection of entities under common control typically with a sponsoring employer. A multi-employer scheme is a scheme for entities not under common control and represents (typically) an industry-wide scheme such as that provided by USS. The accounting for a multi-employer scheme where the employer has entered into an agreement with the scheme that determines how the employer will fund a deficit results in the recognition of a liability for the contributions payable that arise from the agreement (to the extent that they relate to the deficit) and the resulting expense is recognised in profit or loss in accordance with section 28 of FRS 102. The trustees are satisfied that the scheme provided by USS meets the definition of a multiemployer scheme and has therefore recognised the discounted fair value of the contractual contributions under the funding plan in existence at the date of approving the financial statements.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty
Pension scheme liability
The trustees are required to make assumptions on future staffing levels when calculating the USS pension scheme liability. These are included as best estimates at the date of calculation, but present a significant risk in potentially causing a material adjustment to the balance sheet.
2 Incoming resources
The income of the charity comprises funds transferred from the Sarah Lawrence College at Bronxville, New York, to finance the operations of the Oxford programme.

13 Pension commitments
The charity participates in the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS). The assets of the scheme are held in separate trustee-administered funds, and it is a contributory mixed benefit scheme (i.e. it provides benefits on a defined benefit basis – based on length of service and pensionable salary – and on a defined contribution basis – based on contributions into the scheme). It is a multi-employer scheme and the charity is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities relating to defined benefits of the scheme on a consistent and reasonable basis. Therefore, in accordance with the accounting standard FRS 102 paragraph 28.11, the charity accounts for the scheme as if it were a defined contribution scheme. As a result, the amount charged to the Income and Expenditure Account represents the contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period. In the event of the withdrawal of any of the participating employers in USS, the amount of any pension funding shortfall (which cannot be otherwise recovered) in respect of that employer will be spread across the remaining participating employers and reflected in the next actuarial valuation of the scheme.
Actuarial valuations
Qualified actuaries periodically value USS defined benefits using the ‘projected unit method’, embracing a market value approach. The resulting levels of contribution take account of actuarial surpluses or deficits in each scheme. The financial assumptions were derived from market conditions prevailing at the valuation date. The results of the latest actuarial valuations and the assumptions which have the most significant effect on the results were:
| Valuation Details | Valuation Details | USS |
|---|---|---|
| Date of valuation: | 31/03/20 | |
| Date valuation results published: | 30/09/21 | |

12
Sarah Lawrence at Oxford
Notes to the Accounts (continued) for the year ended 31st July 2022
13 Pension commitments (continued)
- b. Pensions increases (CPI) for the USS valuation were:
Term dependent rates in line with the difference between the Fixed Interest and Index Linked yield curves, less 1.1% p.a. to 2030, reducing linearly by 0.1% p.a. to a long term difference of 0.1% p.a. from 2040.
- c. The USS employer contribution rates include provisions for the cost of future accrual of defined benefits, deficit contributions, administrative expenses and defined contributions.
Sensitivity of actuarial valuation assumptions
Surpluses or deficits which arise at future valuations may impact on the company’s future contribution commitment. The sensitivities regarding the principal assumptions used to measure the scheme liabilities are set out below:
| USS | ||
|---|---|---|
| Assumption | Change in assumption | Impact on USS liabilities |
| Initial pre-retirement discount rate | increase by 0.25% | decrease by £1.3bn |
| Post-retirement discount rate | Decrease by 0.25% | increase by £2.8bn |
| CPI | decrease by 0.1% | decrease by £1.5bn |
| Life expectancy | more prudent assumption (reduce the | increase by £1.2bn |
| adjustment to the base mortality table by 5%) | ||
| Rate of mortality | more prudent assumption (increase the annual | increase by £0.6bn |
| mortality improvements long-term rates by | ||
| 0.2% |
Deficit recovery plans
In line with FRS 102 paragraph 28.11A, the charity has recognised a liability for the contributions payable for the agreed deficit funding plan. The principle assumptions used in these calculations are tabled below:
| USS | |
|---|---|
| Finish Date for Deficit Recovery Plan | 31/03/38 |
| Average staff number increase | Nil |
| Average staff salary increase | 1.5% |
| Average discount rate over period | 1.0% |
A provision of £88,000 has been made at 31st July 2022 (2021: £34,000) for the present value of the estimated future deficit funding element of the contributions payable under these agreements, using the assumptions shown. The provision reduces as the deficit is paid off according to the pension recovery scheme.
The next formal actuarial valuation is due as at 31st March 2023.
Pension charge for the year
The pension charge for the year includes a debit of £54,000 (2021: a credit of £2,000) in relation to the USS. This represents contributions of £18,220 (2021: £17,685) payable in the year, as adjusted by the change in the deficit funding liability of £54,000 (2021: £(2,000)).
A copy of the full actuarial valuation report and other further details on the scheme are available on the USS website.
