Ilvwwck Sludenis.
knnual Report al￿ Consohuaieo Siai**nt$ 2021

The concession slates that this does not ap￿Y to calerir#J providing in bars, but based on
guidance issued by the HMRC Policy Review Team in 2010. the Union has provK4ed
catering lo students through it's Dirty Duck ouuet as exempt from VAT.
However. following an Inspecti￿ by HMRC in November 2019, the application of this
concession was challenged and an assessment for VAT on calerirKJ sold in the Dirty Duck
for the previous four years.
The Union challenged Ihis on the basis that it had the legilirnate expeciats'on to rely on the
advice from 2010, and after a detailed review of the issue, HMRC agreed that the advi¢e
from 2010 meant that the Union dKI have a legitimate exp*¢tat￿n to ￿lY on this advice and
as such no assessment for VAT VAII be made.
However, from 1 September 2021 catering sold from the Dity Duck otsllet has been subject
to VAT, although the ￿der Students. Union sector vkno are also subject lo the challenge by
HMRC are continuing to thallenge the interpretation of the provision of catering through SU
bars ty HMRC.
Key Policy Statements
Investment Policy
The Tnjstees. objective is to invest surplus cash to best thantage with minimum risk. The
Union has taken a prudent stance with funds being held in h￿h 1nterest-bearing deposit
accounts for periods not exceeding 12 months. Cash funds so invested are usually over a
minimum balance of £200.000 and must be pla￿d wth an apFYoved and reputable banking
institution to minimise risk.
Investment retums in the year refie¢l the Stsied policy as well as the lower interest rates
available due to market conditions.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees regulady consider the level of free reserrfes fequired. Issues considered by the
Trustees during 2020-21 when looking al the level of reserves b%tre future investment and
contingency requirements for risks. This includes such rtems as future slrale9ic woje¢ts
which indudes the requirement for any building refurbishment and infrastructure
development and the impact of the increase in the Students. Union Superannuation Scheme
(SUSS) pensions liability and COVID-19.
The Board of Twstees has 4reed that the Union should have an unrestricted reserves
target of belween £500.TrJO and £1.OlJ).000 (excludin9 the unrestricted pension fund
balan￿}. Total unrestri¢ted reserves at 31 July 2021, stand * £1,084,686 {2020.'
£1.142,621} and excluding fixed assets stands at £851,291 (2020 £823,888). The decrease
in total unrestncted reserves, ex¢ludiThJ fixed assets. felates to the use of fiJrNJs to support
operalional activity undertaken by the Charity during 2020-21.
Designated reserves are held to fund luture Strateg￿ proiects (induding the Equalty.

Future Funding
Every year the Union woduces a Five Year Plan that enabks the Union lo reV￿W the Current
and future financial performance of its arANtties. The plan linduding the budget for the 2021-
2022 finan¢ial year) was approved by the Board of Trustees in May 2021.
The budget for 2021-2022 forecasts a group surFAus posth'on of £553.607 (2020.. deficit
£848.219) This position assumed the relaxation of COVID 19 restrict￿nS and the full
reopening of Union commerual oullets and entertainment activrty from October 2021. and
broadly this has materialised in the year wth the easing of restrictions by Govemmenl.
The fore¢asl includes eXpendrtu￿ plans totalling £52,570 (2020 £84,284) to be funded from
the desvjnaled reserve. It is anticipated at Ihe ts.me of syn off that some of this expendrture
will fall into future periods due to timiro of kyoject Init￿￿On.
This plan also included an approved recurrent grant from the Universty of Warwck for
2021-22 of £3,006.024 (2021. 2.947,0811 an increase of £58.943 (2%). The ¢urrenl Five
Year Plan assumes that the University of Warwick will continue to conth.bute an annual
recurrent bloth grant al the level approved for 2021-2022 across the planning period.
Although the Union has no definilive guarantee that fuTrJir#J will ¢onlinue from the Unnietsity
al these Fevels, the Union continues to engage with the University abotrt the fLrture and
Cur￿n11Y has no reason to suppose that funding at the current level will not continue into
2022-2023.

but not yet ¢ontra¢ted and whik the Union is still in the period of recovery posl-pandemic

Value.
Going Con¢em
Warwick Students. Union reports a net habilities position of £6.519,466 on rts ￿nso11dated
balance sheet as at 31 July 2021.
This is directly as a result of recoanising the discounted Students. Union SuFerannuation
Scheme {SUSSI pension liability ¢al¢ulated as £7.945,203 {2020'. £8.176,590) for both the
Union and rts subsidiary companEs. Hob*ver. this liabilrty is payable on an incremental
basis over a Feriod to August 2035 arMJ there is no reason to believe that Warwick SIL¥Jents'
Union cannot meet rt$ annual commitments to repay this liability.
An IndeFe￿nt actuarial review of the scheme tcxjk pla￿ as at 30 June 2019. and an
increase in deficit contnbutions has arisen as a result. The Board of Trustees will continue to
monitor the impact that this may have on the Unim.
The ojrrent economic conditions create Un￿rtaInty particularly over the level of demand for
the Union's services. However. ¢urrent infomation from the Universty of WaThMck indicates
that future incorne provided under the block grant agreement will ￿ maintained at leasl at
current levels.
The impad of the COVID-19 crises has resulted in a significant drop in commercial income
due to the closure of the Union's outlets from the onset of Govemment reslridions and the
various lockdowns introduced to manage the spread of infection.
The Union's forecasts and projections. tsking account a restartiro of trading show that the
Union should be able to operate ￿thin the level of its current facilities for al least twelve
months from the date of approval of these accounts.
A restructure of the Union, including a redudion in staffirg numters has been undertaken
and was completed at the end of December 2020.
Cash bala￿5 held by the Union ￿rna1n healthy arKI reduced by a total of £6.032 over the
year. Trustees consider that cash balan￿S hekl ￿maIn suffI￿nI to meel currenl liabililies

benefits in resF*d of sep4ice from l October 2003 to 30 September 2011 accruing on a Career
Average Revalued Eamings {CARE) basis. Wth effecl.from 30 September 2011 the scheme
losed to future accrual.
The most recent valuation of the Sd)eme was carried out as at 30 June 2019 and showed that
the market value of the Scheme's assets was £119_1m {2016- £101.3ml with these assets
representing 46% (2016" 46%) ofthe value of benefrts that had accrued lo members after
allowing for expected future increases in eamings. The deft¢it on an ongoin9 funding basis
amounted lo £119.1 m12016'. £119.7m). Under scheme rules. should any member Union
ease to operate. its liaEy'lty may be distn"buled auoss all remainiryJ Unions. subject to the SUSS
Truslees.
TFe a¢tuaries are una￿e to separately ￿ntify Union's share of the assets arml liabilit￿$ in
this scheme and hen￿ it is not accounted for as a defined benefit scheme in financial
staten*nls.
The 2019 valuation extended the period over whtch the on-90iTrJ funding def￿11 would be cleared
by 18 months to August 2035. and sets out a monthly contribution requirement by each
Participating Employer expressed in monetary terns. For Wawck Studenls. Union this resulted
in a 50A increase in contributions in October 2020 and 25.6% in October 2021. Thereafter, we are
anticipating a 50A increase annually each October.
As previousty, the contributions also include an allowan￿ for the cost of the on-going
administrative and operational expenses of runnirg the Scheme.
Surpluses or deficits wthidb arise al fLrture valuati¢)ns will also impact on the Union's futu
contribution commrtmenl. In adclrtion to the above contnbutions. the Union also pays rts share of
the Schen￿,$ ￿vY to the Pension Protection Furnl.
The contribution rate (excluding deficit contributions) for the period to 30 September 2011
applicable to the Union for the majorrly of members wa$ 8.17% of Eamings for members and
9.38% of Eamings for the Union (17.3%117.55% in aggregate).
The total deficrt contributions paid into the Scheme by the Union in ￿SpeCt of eligible employees
for the year ended 31 July 2021 amounted to £367.301 (2020.. £349.475}.
