2025. These issues continue lo affecl Ihe entire Higher Education sector. The College aims lo offset
some of the impact through ils endowment {which provides 56.6Y& of Ihe College's total income) but
future investment capacity is constrained by these structural factors. There was good progress in
conferencing income and furKlraising and cost control was broaély light.
The College made purposeful progress on a number of important objectives in the year. We began the
execution of our Maslerplan with a refurbishment of O Staircase to enhanced sustainability standards
and completed planning for the fvll refu￿lShMent of Bishop Bateman Court. This will provide 50 rooms
in the College's first entirely ft)ssil luel free residential buildlng. The College was awarded a Plalinurn
award in the collegiate Universitys annual Green Impact Survey, Ihe first time we have reathed this

Stocks
stocks are slated al the lower of cost and net realisable value after making provision for slow moving and
obsolete items.
Flnancial Instrumgnts
The College has elected to adopt Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of the recognition, measurèment
and disclosure of financial inslruments. Financial a$sels and liabilrties are recognised when the Coll898
becomes paty to the contractual provision of th8 instrumenL and they are classified according to the substance
of the contractual arrangernents entered into.
A financial asset and a financial liability are offset only when there is a ￿9allY enforceab16 rfvjht to set off the
recognlsed amounts and an intentKJn either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and setue the liability
slmultan8ou$ly.
Flnanclal assèts
8aslG finan¢lal assets include trade and other receivables, cash and Cash 6quival8nts and investments In
ommgrdal paper {l.e. deposlls and bonds). Thes8 assets are inilialty recognisèd 8t transaction price unless
th& arrangamant constitute8 a financing transaction, where th9 transaction is measured al thè present value
of th6 lulur8 receipts discounted at a markèt rale of interest. Such asset$ are subsequentty carr￿d al amortlsod
cost using th8 eff6cllv8 interest rale rnelhod. Flnanci31 assels are as$èssed for indicators of impairment al
aach reportlng dale. If there is objeclivfr ovidence of impairnent. an impairment loss Is r¢¢ognised In the
Slatament of Comprehensive Income.
For financlal assets carried al amortised cost the Impairment loss is the difference befv￿en the carying amount
ol the asset and the present value ol the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the asset's original effectlve
Interest rate.
Other financial assets, including th)V8stsments in equity instruments, whlch are nol subsidiaries OT￿nt vontures,
afe inilially measured at lair value which is typically thè transaction price. These a$sels are subsaquenlly
arried at fair value and changes in fair value at the reporting date are re¢ogni$ed in the
Slaternenl of Comprehensive Income. Where the investrnent in equity instruments is not publidy traded and
where the fair value cannot be reliably measured. the assets are measured al cost less impalmient.
Invoslmènts in property or other phystil a$$els do ￿t constitute a financi81 instrument and ara not included.
FSnancial assets are de-recognised when the contractual rights lo Ihe cash flows from thg assel expire or are
settled or substanlially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to another party.
Flnanclal Llabllltl•s
Basic financial liabilities include trade and other payabks, bank loans and Inl8rgroup108ns. These Ilabilities
are Initially recognise¢J al transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where
the debt instrument is measured al the present value of the future payinents discounted at a mafk81 rate of
interest. Debt instruments are Subsequently carried at an￿rtIsed cost using the effe¢tive interest rate method.
Fees paid on the establishment of loan faclllties are recogni8ed as transaction costs of the loan to the oxtenl
that it is probable Ihat some or all of Ihe facility wll be drawn down.
Trade payables are obligations lo pay for gwjs or seTviGe$ that have been acquired in the ordinary course of
business from suppliers. Ac¢￿nIS payable are classrfied as ¢urrenl liabililies if payment is due wrthin one year
or less. If not, they a￿ presented as non-currenl liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at transaction
price and subsequently measured at arnO￿$ed cost using the effe¢live Inlerost rale methcAI.
Oen'valives, including forward foreign exchange ￿)ntrac1S. are not basic financlal instruments. Derlvatives are
initially reLX)gnised al fair value on the dale the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequenuy re-
measured at the￿ fair value at the reporting dale. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognlsed in the
Statement of Comprehensive Irbcome in ffinan￿ costs or finar￿ income as appropriate. unless they are
included in a hedging arrangemenL

The Co118ge is a registered chaiity Inumber 11374581 and also a charity wrthin the meaning of Section 467 of

Contrlbutlon under Statute G, 11
The College is liable lo be assessed for Contribution under the provisions of Statute G. 11 of the University of
C8mbrldg8. Contribution Is used lo fund grants lo colleges from the Colleges Fund. The College may from
tlme to lim8 be eligible for such grants. The liabllty for the year is as advised lo the College by the University
basad on an a898ssable amount derivad from the value of tho College's assets ag at the gnd of the prevlous
financial year.
Pen8lon Sch•m•8
Th8 College partiapates in UnNersiiies Superannuation Scheme. The assets of tho s¢hém8 ar8 held In a
separate Iruslee-adminislered fund. Because of the rnutual nalure of the stheme, the a$$els are not attrSbuled
lo individual institutions and a scheme-vide contribution rale is sel. The College 1$ therefore exposed to
luarial risks associated with other institutions. employees and is unable to identfy ils ghare of the underlying
assets and liabllitles of the scheme on a consistent and reasonable basls. As required by Section 28 of FRS
102 "Employee benefits". the College therefore accounts for the schama as11 tt were a defined conlribution
6cheme. As a resutt, the amount charged to thè Statement of Compr8h8nslve Income and Expenditure
represents the conlrlbullons payable lo the scheme. Since the College has enlered into an agwment Ilhe

Expendilure. However, the lalesl valualion for the scherne showed Ihat no provision wa8 necessary and
therefore no liabiSily has been recognised since June 2024.
The College also contribute$ lo thè Cambridge c￿￿geS F￿8rat&d Pension Scheme, which is a similar defined
b6n6fil pension scheme. Unlike thè Universitiès Supèrannuab'on Sch8m6, Ihls scheme has surpluses and

Employment b•n•fits
Short term employment benefrts such as salaries and comp￿Sated absences are recognised as an expense
in the year in which the employees render service lo the College. Any unused benefits are accrued and
rneasured as the additional amount the College expects to pay as a resuli of the unused entitlement.
Ros•rv•s
Reserves are allocated behveen restricted and unrestricted reserves. Endowment reseryes include balances
which, in r8spect of endowment to the College. are held as pemanent funds. whith the College musl hold to

Statement of Accounting Policies
For the Year Ended 30 June 2025
Crltical A¢counting Estlmates and Judg•ments
The prep8ralion of the College's accounts requires management to make judgemgnts, estimales and
assumptions that affect the application of acc(yJnting policies and reported amounts of asset5 and liabilities,
income and expenses. These judgements, estimates and assocxated assumptions are basgd on historic81
exp8rience and other factors, including expectations of future events Ihal are believed to be reasonable under
the Cifcumstsnces. The resulling accounting estimates wll. by definit￿n, seldom equal th8 related actual
results.
Management considers the areas sel out below to be thos6 where uilical accounting judgements have been
applied and the resulting estimates and assumptions may lead to adjustments lo the future carrying arnounls
of assets and liabilit￿s.
Incom9 rocognition - Judgement 1$ applied in dgtornining thè valu• and timing of certain irulmè items to be
reco9nised in the accounts. This includes determining when ￿rf0manC8 related Conditions hav8 be8n met
and delermlning the appropriate recognition timing for donations. b8quests and legacies. In general. the later
ar8 recognised when al the probate stage.
Useful lives of property. plant and gquipmont- Propgrty. plant and oquipmanl represent a significant proportion
of the College, s total assets. Therefore, the estimated usefrjl livés can havé a significanl Impact on the
depreciation Charged and the College's reportgd perfonnance. Useful lives ar8 detèrmined at th8 time the
asset is acquired and rewewed rogularly for appropriateness. The lives are bas&d on historical 8xp8ri8nce$
wf(h similar ass8t8, profes8ional advlc8 and anlicipalion of future events. Detalls of Ihe carrylng values of
property. plant and equipment are Shown in note 10.
Recoveroblllty of debtors - The provlslon for doubtlul debts is based on the College's estimate of the expected
recoverabllity of those debts. Assumptions are made based on the level of debtors which have defaulted
hisiorlcally, coupled with current 8conomic kn¢>￿edge. The provision is based on the current shuation of the
customèr. tha age profile of thè debt and the nature of the amount due.
Inv8slment property - Prop8rtles are revalued lo their fair value al the reporting dale by our Property Ag&nts,
Bidwells and Chartered Surveyors Gerald Eve. The valuation is based on the assumplon$ and judgements
which are impacted by a variety of laclor5 including market and other eg)nomK condklons.
Roliremenl bongfrt obligations- The cost of defined benefit pension plans and other posl-¢mploymonl benefits
are delemined usin9 actuarial valuations. The actuarial valuation involves maklng assumptions about discount
rates, fulurg salary increases. mortality rates and future pension incre8ses. Due lo the complexity ol tha
valuation, the underlying assumptions and the long.lem nature of these plans. such eslimates are subject lo
signlficant uncertainty. Further dotalls are gNen in note 26.
FRS 102 makes the distinction b•tsv8en a group plan and a rnulb'4mployer scheme. A group plan wnsisls of
a collection of enlilies under common control typically ￿th a sponsoring employer. A multS-employer sch6mo
is a scheme for entities not under common control and represent$ {typlcally) an induslry-wide scheme such as
Universib'es Superannuation Scheme. The accounting for a mults'*mployer scheme where the gmploy8r has
entered into an agreement with the scheme that detèmines how the employer wll fund a deficit, results in the
recognition of a liability for Ihe Contribut￿nS payable that arise from the agreement (to the extent that they
relate lo the deficit) Nwth the resulting expense charged thfough the Income statement in acccfdance wfth
section 28 of FRS 102.
Management are satisfied that Universities Superannuation Scheme meets the definition of a multi -employer
5¢heme and has therefore recognised the discounted fair value of the contractual ¢onlribulions under the
funding plan in existence at the dale of approving the accounts.
