**EMMANUEL COLLEGE ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **General information** 

advancement for the public benefit of education, religion, learning and research, primarily by the maintenance and development of a College in the University and City of Cambridge. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Statutes of the College and of the University of Cambridge, using the Recommended Cambridge College Accounts (RCCA) Format; and applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102) and the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP): Accounting for Further and Higher Education issued in 2019. 

The Statement of Comprehensive Income and Expenditure includes activity analysis in order to demonstrate that all fee income is spent for educational purposes. The analysis required by the SORP is set out in note 8a. 

The College is a public benefit entity and therefore has applied the relevant public benefit requirement of the applicable UK laws and accounting standards. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of investment assets 

The consolidated financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the College and its subsidiary undertaking (Blue Lion Limited) for the year ended 31st July 2024. The results of the subsidiary undertakings acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated income and expenditure account from the date of the acquisition or up to the date of disposal. 

Results of affiliated clubs and societies are not consolidated as the College does not govern the financial and operating policies of these undertakings with a view to gaining economic benefits from their activities. Grants made to clubs and societies are charged in the Statement of Financial Activities as expenditure for charitable purposes. 

Income received from a range of activities including residences, catering conferences and other services rendered is credited to the consolidated income and expenditure account. 

In 2023/24, payment of the Cambridge Bursaries to eligible students were made directly by the Student Loans Company (SLC). As a consequence the College reimbursed the SLC for the full amount paid to their eligible students and the College subsequently received a contribution from the University of Cambridge towards this payment. 

The net payment of £106,926 is shown within the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Expenditure as follows: 

Income                          £ 236,597 Expenditure                   £ 343,523 



**EMMANUEL COLLEGE ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

Academic fees are recognised in the period to which they relate and includes all fees chargeable to students or their sponsors. 

Funds the College receives and disburses as paying agent on behalf of a funding body are excluded from the consolidated income and  expenditure account of the College. 

Investment income and appreciation of endowments is recorded in income in the year in which it arises and as either restricted or unrestricted income according to the terms other restriction applied to the individual endowment fund. 

Government capital grants are recognised in income over the expected useful life of an asset. Other capital grants are recognised in income when the College is entitled to the funds subject to any performance related conditions are met. 

Non exchange transactions without performance related conditions are donations and endowments. Donations and endowments with donor-imposed restrictions are recognised in income when the College is entitled to the funds. Income is retained within the restricted reserve until such time that it is utilised in line with such restrictions. 

Donations with no restrictions are recognised in the income when the College is entitled to the funds. 

There are four main types of donations and endowments identified within reserves: 

1. Restricted Donations - the donor has specified that the donation must be used for a particular objective. 

2. Unrestricted Permanent Endowments - the donor has specified that the fund is to be permanently invested to generate an income streams for the general benefit of the College. 

3. Restricted Expendable Endowments - the donor has specified a particular objective other than the purchase or construction of tangible fixed assets and the College has the power to use the capital. 

4. Restricted Permanent Endowments - the donor has specified that the fund is permanently invested to generate an income stream to a applied to a particular objective. 

Income from the General Investment Fund, which forms part of the Endowment, is taken to the consolidated income and expenditure account on a total return basis. This is calculated at a 4% rate of a smoothed valuation of investment assets. 



**EMMANUEL COLLEGE ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

The College operates three defined benefit schemes the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS), the Cambridge College Federated Pension Scheme (CCFPS) and the Emmanuel College Service Staff Pension Scheme (1968). 

The institution participates in the Universities Superannuation Scheme (the scheme). Throughout the current and proceeding periods, the scheme was a defined benefit only pension scheme until 31 March 2016 which was contracted out of the State Second Pension (S2P). These assets of the scheme are held in a separate trusteeadministered fund. Because of the mutual nature of the scheme, the scheme's assets are not hypothecated to individual institutions and a scheme-wide contribution rate is set. The institution 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 and therefore, as required by Section 28 of FRS 102 "Employee benefits", accounts for the scheme as if it were a defined contribution scheme. As a result, the amount charged to the income and expenditure accounts represents the contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period. Since the institution has entered into an agreement (the Recovery Plan that determines how each employer within the scheme will fund the overall deficit), the institution 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 in the income and expenditure account. 

The Cambridge Colleges Federated Pension Scheme (CCFPS) and the Emmanuel College Service Staff Pension Scheme (1968) are defined benefit plans.  All of these are defined benefit schemes which are externally funded and contracted out of the State Second Pension (S2P).  The funds are valued every three years by a professionally qualified independent actuary using the projected unit method, the rates of contribution payable being determined by the trustees on the advice of the actuary.  In intervening years, the actuary reviews the progress of the scheme. Pension costs are assessed in accordance with the advice of the actuary, based on the latest actuarial valuation of the scheme, and are accounted for on the basis of charging the cost of providing pensions over the period during which 


Land and buildings are stated at replacement cost.  Freehold buildings are depreciated on a straight line basis over their expected useful economic life of 50 years.  Freehold land is not depreciated. The central site, defined as the land and buildings owned by the College and enclosed by St Andrews Street, Park Terrace, Parker Street and Emmanuel Street, along with North Court, has not been included as in the College's opinion the cost of obtaining a valuation, if indeed a reliable valuation could be obtained, outweighs the benefit to the users of the accounts. The insured value of the central site not included is shown in Note 10. 

Subsequent additions and improvements to the College buildings are accounted for at cost. Where land and buildings are acquired with the aid of specific bequest or donations they are capitalised and depreciated as above. Finance costs which are directly attributable to the construction of buildings are not capitalised as part of those assets. 

A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the fixed asset may not be recoverable. 

Buildings under construction are valued at cost, based on the value of architects certificates and other direct costs incurred to 31st July.  They are not depreciated until they are brought into use. 

The College has a rolling maintenance plan which is reviewed on an annual basis.  The cost of routine maintenance is charged to the Consolidated Income and Expenditure Account as it is incurred or capitalised and depreciated over the useful economic life of the asset concerned. The College also sets aside sums on a regular basis to meet major maintenance costs which occur on an irregular basis. 



**EMMANUEL COLLEGE ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

Operational furniture, fittings and equipment costing less than £2,500 is written off in the year of acquisition. All other assets are capitalised and depreciated on a straight line basis over their expected useful life as follows: 

Operational furniture and fittings 10% per annum Motor vehicles   20% per annum Plant and equipment   10% - 20 % per annum Computer equipment   33% per annum 

Where equipment is acquired with the aid of specific bequests or donations it is capitalised and depreciated as above. 

In accordance with FRS 102 (Heritage Assets),works of art, books and other valuable artefacts acquired by the College since 1 August 2007 and valued at over £20k are capitalised and recognised in the balance sheet at the cost or value of the acquisition, where such a cost or valuation is reasonably obtainable. In accordance with FRS102, Heritage Assets acquired before 1 August 2007 have not been capitalised since reliable estimates of cost or value are not available on a cost-benefit basis.  Heritage assets are not depreciated since their long economic life and high residual value mean that any depreciation would not be material. 

Fixed assets held under finance leases and the related lease obligations are recorded in the Balance Sheet at the fair value of the leased assets at the inception of the lease. The excesses of lease payments over recorded lease obligations are treated as finance charges which are amortised over each lease term to give a constant rate of change on the remaining balance of the obligations. Rental costs under operating leases are charged to expenditure in equal amounts over the period of the leases. 

Investments are included in the balance sheet at fair value, except for investments in subsidiary undertakings which Properties are valued annually by the Trustees based on estimated market values on a continuing use basis after taking advice from third party valuers. The SOFA includes realised gains and losses on investment sold in the year and unrealised gains and losses on revaluation of investments. 

Fixed asset investments are subject to review for impairment when there is an indication of a reduction in their carrying value. Any impairment is recognised in the year in which it occurs in the SOFA. 

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. 

Provisions are recognised when the College has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. 

The College has elected to adopt Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of the recognition, measurement and disclosure of financial instruments. Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the College becomes party to the contractual provision of the instrument and they are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangement entered into. 

A financial asset and a financial liability are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and an intention either to settle on a net basis, or to realise and settle the liability simultaneously. 



**EMMANUEL COLLEGE ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

Basic financial assets include trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents. These assets are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipt discounted at the market rate of interest. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment and an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. 

Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries are initially measured at fair value which is typically the transaction price. Investments in property or other physical assets do not constitute a financial instrument and are not included. 

Financial assets are de-recognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled or subsequently all of the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to another party. 

Basic financial liabilities include trade and other payables and bank loans. These liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. 

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised at transaction price. 

Financial liabilities are de-recognised when the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires. 

## **Contingent liabilities and assets** 

A contingent liability arises from a past event that gives the College a possible obligation whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or otherwise of uncertain future events, not wholly within the control of the College. Contingent liabilities also arise in circumstances where a provision would otherwise be made but either it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured reliably. 

A contingent asset arises where an event has taken place that gives the College a possible asset whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or otherwise of uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the College. 

Contingent assets and liabilities are not recognized in the balance sheet but are disclosed in the notes. 

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate of exchange ruling at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at year end rates or, where there are related forward foreign exchange contracts, at contract rates.  The resulting exchange differences are dealt with in the determination of income and expenditure for the financial year. 

Short term employment benefits such as salaries and compensated absences are recognised as an expense in the year in which employees render service to the College.  Any unused benefits are accrued and measured as the additional amount of the College expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement 



**EMMANUEL COLLEGE ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

The College is a registered charity (number 1137456) and also a charity within the meaning of Section 467 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010. Accordingly, the College is exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within the categories covered by Section 478 to 488 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that such income or gains are applied to exclusively charitable purposes. 

The College receives no similar exemption in respect of Value Added Tax. 

The College is liable to be assessed for Contribution under the provisions of Statute G,II of the University of Cambridge. Contribution is used to fund grants to Colleges from the Colleges Fund. The College may from time to time be eligible for such grants. The liability for the year is as advised to the College by the University based on an assessable amount derived from the value of the College's assets as at the end of the previous financial year. 

Reserves are allocated between restricted and unrestricted reserves.  Endowment reserves include balances which, in respect of endowment to the College, are held as permanent funds, which the College must hold to perpetuity. Restricted reserves include balances in respect of which the donor has designated a specific purpose and therefore the College is restricted in the use of these funds. 

The preparation of the College's accounts requires management of make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. These judgements, estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. 

Management consider the areas set out below to be those where critical accounting judgements have been applied and the resulting estimates and assumptions may lead to adjustments to the future carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. 

Income recognition - Judgement is applied in determining the value and timing of certain income items to be recognised in the accounts. This includes determining when performance related conditions have been met and determining the appropriate recognition timing for donations, bequests and legacies. 

Useful lives of property, plant and equipment - Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the College's total assets. Therefore the estimated useful lives can have a significant impact on the depreciation charged and the College's reported performance. Useful lives are determined at the time the assets is acquired and reviewed regularly for appropriateness. The lives are based on historical experiences with similar assets, professional advice and anticipation of future events. Details of the carrying values of property, plant and equipment are shown in note 10. 

Recoverability of debtors - The provision for doubtful debts is based on the College's estimate of the expected recoverability of those debts. Assumptions are made based upon 5% of total debts outstanding at the reporting date. 

Investment Property - Properties are revalued to their fair value at the reporting date by Bidwells. The valuation is based on the assumptions and judgements which are impacted by a variety of factors including market and other economic conditions. 

Retirement Benefit Obligations - The cost of defined benefit pension plans are determined using actuarial valuations. The actuarial valuation involves making assumptions about discount rates, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. Due to the complexity of the valuation, the underlying assumptions and the long term nature of these plans, such estimates are subject to significant uncertainty. Further details are given in note 25. 



**EMMANUEL COLLEGE ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

Management are satisfied that Universities Superannuation Scheme meets the definition of a muti-employer scheme and has therefore recognised the discounted fair value of the contractual contribution under the funding plan existence at the date of approving the accounts. 

As the College is contractually bound to make deficit recovery payments to USS, this is recognised as a liability on the balance sheet. The provision is currently based upon the USS deficit recovery plan agreed after the 2018 actuarial valuation, which defines the deficit payment required as a percentage of future salaries until 2028. These contributions expected future salary inflation, changes in staff numbers and the prevailing rate of discount. Further details are set out in note 25. 

The trustees have a reasonable expectation that the College has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In the opinion of the trustees there will be no material adverse effect on the College's ability to trade. The trustees believe the College is well placed to manage its business risks successfully despite the current uncertain economic outlook. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts. 

The Group discloses transactions with related parties which are not wholly owned within the same Group. Where appropriate, transactions of a similar nature are aggregated unless, in the opinion of the Trustees, separate disclosure is necessary to understand the effect of the transactions on the Group financial statements.

## **Heritage assets** 

The college holds and conserves certain collections, artefacts and other assets of historical, artistic or scientific importance. 

As stated in the statement of principal accounting policies, heritage assets acquired since 2007 have been capitalised. However, the majority of assets held in the College's collections were acquired prior to this date. As reliable estimates of cost are not available for these on a cost-benefit basis, they have not been capitalised. As a result the total included in the Balance Sheet is partial. 

Amounts for the current and previous four years were as follows:

**EMMANUEL COLLEGE NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS** 

## **25. PENSION SCHEMES** 

The College operates three defined benefit pension schemes, the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS), the Cambridge Colleges Federated Pension Scheme (CCFPS) and the Emmanuel College Service Staff Pension Scheme (1968). The total pension cost for the period was £1,228,920 (2023: £1,145,050) 

## **Universities Superannuation Scheme Limited** 

## **Pension Costs** 

The total cost charged to the profit and loss account is £338,318 (2023: £440,139). 

Deficit recovery contribution due within one year for the institution are £0 (2023: £30,352) 

A deficit recovery plan was put in place as part of the 2020 valuation , which required payment of 6.2%of salaries over the period 1 April 2022 until 31 March 2024, at which point the rate would increase to 6.3%. As set out in Note 9, no deficit recovery plan was required under the 2023 valuation because the scheme was in surplus on a technical provisions basis. The institution was no longer required to make deficit recovery contribution from 1 January 2024 and accordingly released the oustanding provision to the Consolidated Income & Expenditure Account. 

The latest available complete actuarial valuation of the Retirement Income Builder is as at 31 March 2023 (the valuation date), which was carried out using the projected unit method. 

Since the institution cannot identify its share of USS Retirement Income Builder (Defined benefit) asests and liabilities, the following disclosures reflect those relevant for those assets and liabilities as a whole. 

The 2023 valuation was the seventh valuation for the scheme under the scheme-specific funding regime introduced by the Pension Act 2004, which requires schemes to have sufficient and appropriate assets to cover technical provisions (the statory funding objective). At the valuation date, the value of the assets of the scheme was £73.1 billion and the value of the scheme's technical provisions was £65.7 billion indicating a surplus of £7.4 billion and a funding ratio of 111%. 

The key assumptions used in the 2023 valuation are described below. More detail is set out in the Statement of Funding Principles. 

Pension Increase (CPI) Term dependent rate in line with the difference between the Fixed Interest and Index Linked yield curves, less 1.0% p.a. reducing linearly by 0.1%p.a. from 2030. 

Pension increases (subject to floor of 0%) Benefits with no cap: CPI assumption plus 3bps.                       Benefit subject to a 'soft cap' of 5% (providing inflationary increases up to 5% and half of of any excess inflation over 5% up to a maximum of 10%) CPI assumption minus 3bps Discount Rate (forward rate) Fixed interest gilt yield curve plus: Pre-retirement 2.5% p.a Post -retirement 0.9% p.a 

The main demographic assumption used relates to the mortality assumptions. These assumptions are based on analysis of the scheme's experience carried out as part of the 2023 actuarial valuation. The mortality assumptions used in these figures are as follows: 

## **2020 Valuation** 

Mortality base table 101% of S2PMA "light" for males and 95% of S3PFA fro females

## **The Cambridge Colleges Federated Pension Scheme** 

## About the Scheme 

The College operates a defined benefit pension plan for the College's employees of the Cambridge Colleges' Federated Pension Scheme. 

The liabilities of the plan have been calculated, at 30 June 2024, for the purposes of FRS 102 using a valuation system designed for the Management Committee, acting as Trustee of the Cambridge Colleges' Federated Pension Scheme, but allowing for the different assumptions required under FRS 102 and taking fully into consideration changes in the plan benefit structure and membership since that date. 

## The principal actuarial assumptions at the balance sheet date were as follows: 

||**June 2024**|**June 2023**|
|---|---|---|
||**pa**|**pa**|
|Discount rate|5.10%|5.20%|
|Increase in salaries|2.85%|3.30%|
|Retail Prices Index (RPI) assumption|3.35%|3.40%|
|Consumer Prices Index (CPI) assumption|2.35%|2.80%|
|Pension increases In Payments (RPI Max 5% p.a)|3.15%|3.30%|
|Pension increases in Payments (CPI Max 2.5% p.a)|2.00%|2.05%|



* For 1 year only, we have assumed that RPI will be 9% and CPI will be 7%. The caps under the Rules are applied to assumed pension increases. 

The underlying mortality assumption is based upon the standard table known as S3PA on a year of birth usage with CMI_ 2023 future improvement factors and a long-term rate of future improvement of 1.25% p.a. a standard smoothing factor (7.0) and no allowance for additional improvements. (2023: S3PA on a year of birth usage with CMI_2022 future improvement factors and a long term rate of future improvement of 1.25% p.a. a standard smoothing factor (7.0) and no allowance for additional improvements). This results in the following life expectancies: 

Male age 65 now has a life expectancy of 21.4 years (previously 21.4 years) Female age 65 now has a life expectancy of 23.9 years (previously 23.9 years) Male age 45 now and retiring in 20 years would have a life expectancy of 22.6 years (previously 22.6 years) Female age 45 now and retiring in 20 years would have a life expectancy of 25.3 years (previously 25.3 years)

Members are assumed to retire at their normal retirement age (65) apart from in the following indicated cases: 

||**Male**|**Female**|
|---|---|---|
|Active Members - Option 1 Benefits|64|64|
|Deferred Members - Option 1 Benefits|63|62|



Allowance has been made at retirement for non-retired members to commute part of their pension for a lump sum on the basis of the current commutation factors in these calculations.

## **Funding Policy** 

Actuarial valuations are carried out every three years on behalf of the Management Committee, acting as the Trustee of the Scheme, by a qualified independent actuary. The actuarial assumptions underlying the actuarial valuation are different to those adopted under FRS 102. 

The last such valuation was as at 31st March 2023. This showed that the plan's assets were insufficient to cover the liabilities on the funding basis. A Recovery Plan has been agreed with the College, which commits the College to paying contributions to fund the shortfall. 

These deficit reduction contributions are incorporated into the plan's Schedule of Contributions dated 5th June 2024 and are as follows: 

Annual contributions of not less than £140,955 p.a. payable for the period 30th November 2033 

These payments are subject to review following the next funding valuation, due at at 31st March 2026.

Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation are as follows 

|Opening defined benefit obligation<br>Current service costs<br>Past service cost<br>Member contributions<br>Interest cost<br>Actuarial losses (gains)<br>Benefits paid<br>Closing defined benefit obligation|**For year to**<br>**For year to**<br>**31 March**<br>**2024**<br>**31 March**<br>**2023**<br>**£**<br>**£**<br>4,544,000<br>6,780,000<br>169,000<br>182,000<br>-<br>-<br>78,000<br>72,000<br>216,000<br>179,000<br>262,000<br>(2,620,000)<br>(153,000)<br>(49,000)<br>5,116,000<br>4,544,000|
|---|---|



The projected unit valuation method has been used to arrive at the above service cost. The use of this method is prescribed in FRS 102. To produce a stable future contribution rate this valuation method assumes that the average age of the Scheme membership will remain broadly constant in future due to a flow of new entrants to the Scheme. If a scheme is closed to new members this will not be the case and the costs of benefits accruing, as a percentage of pensionable salaries, will be expected to increase over time. 

## Changes in the fair value of plan assets are as follows 

|Opening fair value of plan assets<br>Return on assets, less interest included in I&E<br>Interest income, net of administration fee<br>Contributions paid by the employer<br>Member contributions<br>Benefits paid<br>Closing fair value of plan assets|**For year to**<br>**For year to**<br>**31 March**<br>**2024**<br>**31 March**<br>**2023**<br>**£**<br>**£**<br>5,735,000<br>5,475,000<br>(60,000)<br>(135,000)<br>276,000<br>146,000<br>346,000<br>226,000<br>78,000<br>72,000<br>(153,000)<br>(49,000)<br>6,222,000<br>5,735,000|

## **GMP Equalisation** 

Following the High Court ruling on 26 October 2018, regarding the equalisation of Guaranteed Minimum Pension (GMP) benefit within the Lloyds pension scheme, the Scheme is required to adjust benefits to remove the inequalities between the GMP benefits awarded to males and females. 

On 20 November 2020 the High Court issued a supplementary ruling in the Lloyds ban GMP equalisation case with respect to members that have transferred out of their scheme prior to the ruling. The ruling obliged Trustees to make top-up payments in respect of historic transfers that were not paid on an equalised basis. 

No allowance for GMP equalisation was made by the College in last year's disclosures. 

## **26. CONTINGENT LIABILITY** 

The College is a participating employer in the Cambridge Colleges Federated Pension Scheme (CCFPS) and completed a triennial valuation of the Schemes and it has agreed that as part of its legal commitment to pay contributions to the Schemes in accordance with the Pensions Act 2004, the College provide security over property in favour of the Trustees. The College has assigned 19 and 20 Warkworth Street for this purpose with a value of £2.1m at 31sty July 2020.

The subsidiary company has a 31 July year end 

The Trustees believe that the carrying value of the investments is supported by their underlying net assets. 

## **28. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS** 

Owing to the nature of the College's operations and the composition of its Governing Body it is inevitable that transactions will take place with organisations in which a member of the Governing body may have an interest. All transactions involving organisations in which a member of the Governing Body may have an interest are conducted at arm's length and in accordance with the College's normal procedures. 

In addition the College has provided housing loans totalling £160,000 (2022: £222,000) to its Fellows for personal use. This amount has been included in debtors.
