Financial and Operating Revlew Introduction Jesu5 College was founded in 1496 when it was granted its Royal Charter. The College is an autonomoL¢S, self-governing community of scholars, one of the 31 colleges Wlthin the University of Cambridge. Jesus College admit5 Students to study for all degrees at the University. In 2023-24 there were 513 undergraduate and 394 postgraduate students at the College. For the purposes of the Oxford and Cambridge Act 1923 the governing body is the Society, con515ting of the Master and 88 Fellows, who are mostly academics holding teaching and research posts at the University and the College. The College Council has control and management of the affairs of the College and its members are the Charity Trustees. Aims and objectives of the College The College's charitable objectives are to establish a college within the University of Cambridge for the advancement of education, learning, research and religion. Publlc Beneflt The College provides, in conjunction with the University of Cambridge, an education for undergraduate and postgraduate students, which is recognised internationally as being of the highest standard. This education develops students academically and advances their leadership qualities and interpersonal skills, and so prepares them to play full and effective roles in society. The College maintain5 teaching, library and study facilities in support of these activities. The College admits as students those who have the highest potential for benefiting from the education provided by the College and the Univer51ty and recruits as Fellows and academic staff those who are able to contribute most to the academic excellence of the College, regardless of their financial, social, religious, or ethnic background. The College provides financial support to its students through scholarships, awards, and prizes to fund fees, maintenance, research, and travel costs. It contributes, together with the University and the other Cambridge Colleges, to the Cambridge Bursary scheme, which is the primary mechanism of financial support for undergraduates to study at Cambridge, and to the Vice Chancellor's Awards and the Cambridge Masters Studentships to support postgraduate5. The College also funds several undergraduate and postgraduate scholarshlps, details of which can be found on the College's website. In terms of broader educational opportunities, the College, with the asslstance of the JCSU and MCR and with the support of the Jesus College Boat Club Trust, funds and provldes for a wide range of activities, including sports, music, theatre, and other cultural and creative activitie5. The College runs a programme of careers events and activities, including Jesus Connect, a career and mentoring online platform. An increasing focus is on the pastoral support offered to students: students have access to a Tutor, who is a College Fellow or Bye-Fellow, and the College employs a College Nurse and a Mental Health Nurse, all of whom are able to signpost students to more specialist coun5elling and support services provided by the University. which are partly funded by the College. The College advances research through: Providing stipendiary Research Fellowshlps In the humanities and science5 to outstanding acadetnics at the early stages of their careers, which enable them to develop and focus on their research. Supporting research work pursued by its Fellows financlally and through promoting interaction across dTsciplines. Encouraging visits from outstanding academlcs from across the world in all disciplines. The work of the Intellectual Forum 15 aimed at bringing together academic research with experts from industry, governments, and not-for-profit organisations to address key contemporary issues. The Global Issues Dialogue Centre IGIDCI, the China Forum and the Cambridge Central Asia Forum are interdisciplinary centres which examine i55ue5 that impact on overseas national and regional areas,
particularly in relation to China, and Central Asla and the Caucasus, organi5ing a range of events and initiatives, and in the case of the GIDC, undertaking research. The College provides support to a range of musical activities, in particular through the College and Chapel Choirs. The College employs a full-time Director of Music, and each year awards a number of Choral and Organ scholarships. In addition, it offers places in the Chapel Choir for younger choristers from the Cambridge area. The College advances religion primarily through its Chapel, which has been in continuous tjse since before the College's foundation. Regular services are held, which are open to the public. The College employs the Dean of Chapel, who is an Anglican priest, and who provides for wder spiritual and pastoral care for the students, Staff and Fellows. During the year the College opened a Multi-Faith Space, which is an area of the College that provides for worshlp, celebration or meditation acr055 all faith traditions and for those who do not identify with any religion. The College provides accommodation and catering services to many of its members, which it regards as an essential part of developing and maintaining a collegiate community. Fundlng The College levies fees and charges for the following.. To undergraduates at externally regulated rates for those home students who are eligible for public support, and to other undergraduates to contribute towards the cost of their education. To postgraduate student5 to contribute towards the cost of their education. For accommodation and meals at subsidised rates. The fee5 and charges made to students are significantly below the full economic cost of providing the education, accomrnodation, meals and other seNices. These subsidie5 are funded through.. The provision of the College's accommodation, catering and other facilities for external conferencing activities, which are charged at commercial rates. The return from the College's endowment assets. Donations from the College's alumni and supporters. Achievements The most slgnificant achievement has been the College's continuing ability to support its academics and student5 in a challenging financial environment, one in which Home undergraduate fees are fixed, and higher education institution5 are still suffering from the impact of high rates of inf lation in 2022 and 2023 and a resulting increase in c05t5, particularly utilities. Despite these challenges. the College provided increased support for its students and remained steadfastly focused on helping the brightest students fully achieve their potential. The College's conferencing business, which is centred on its West Court facilitie5 and the recently- refurbished Forum buildings, continued to go from strength-to-strength, with income exceeding pre- pandemic levels and expected to grow in future years, offsetting the growlng losse5 in the College's core educational activitie5, and supporting the accommodation and catering service5 provided to Its Fellow5, Staff and students. In the investment property portfolio, part of the College's endowment that is essential in subisidising the College's charitable activities, there was the completion of a project to redevelop a row of old and redundant garages on Elm Street into nine residential units. These will be retained as part of the College's core strategic landholding around New Square and let to provide additional rental income to the College. The year also saw the completion of a major redevelopment of property on 59 Hills Road11 Station Road into a restaurant and three flats, all of which have been let. In addition, there was the completion of a new property at 10 Station Road, which was the last of the buildings on the southern side of Station Road to be redeveloped, enhancing the value of the College's freehold and helping the CB1 area to grow a5 the Cambridge's 'Central Business District,. 10
Considerable progress was made with regard to the College's ambitious Responsible Investment Policy and Sustainability Strategy. This Included several projects and initiatives to improve the environmental performance of its a55ets, such as the installation of PV panels on the Forum and Gym buildings, and ongoing engagement with Fellows, Staff and students. Through working with others, the College continues to take a lead in collegiate Cambridge on sustainability issue5, demonstrated by its role in a collaborative project to bring foNard sustainable cash deposit and money market funds, and its support for a research project to develop a 1. 5"C-aligned corporate bond index. The College remains a highly popular college for applicant5, especially undergraduates. The College continues to have a large number of undergraduate applicants, offers and entrants from state. educated and disadvantaged backgrounds. The multiple achievements of the College members are listed extensively in the College's Annual Report, which is available at hit s: Ilwww. esus.cam.ac.uklalumni/colle ublications. Flnanclal Revlew Inconje and Ex endNture Operating income from the College'5 unrestricted actlvltles Increased by 7%, while expenditure increased by 6%. The operating shortfall remained significant at £7. 1 m. Endowment and donatlons income was 20% higher. As a consequence, there was a surplus of £1,363,000: Unrestrlcted Income & Expenditure 2023-24 2022-23 £'ooo É'ooo Total Operating Income Total Expenditure Operating shortfall Endowment income and donations Surplus/lDeficltl 13,843 12,888 17,0541 16,7751 1,363 251 However, the surplus benefited from two fixedlheritaqe assets donations IEO.8ml and a £1.2m pension credit compared to a £0.2m credit in the previous year. eroti Income The College's operating income consists primarily of its academic fee5, Student rents and catering and conferencing receipts. The increase was caused primarily by a rise in conferencing income: Fee income increased by 2%, as a result of increased fees for postgraduates and oversea5 undergraduates, which was offset by a reduction in undergraduate and postgraduate numbers. Student catering income fell, due to the impact of the removal of the Kitchen Fixed Charge for new undergraduates. Student rent income increased by 4%, due to an inflationary increase in rents,. Conferencing income continued its post-pandemic recovery reaching £3.9m I2022-23.' Other income increased to CO.5m12022-23: £0.2ml. erotln enditure ex Operatlng expenditure increased by 6%. Whi15t some of this was due to the Increased level of activitie5 in conferencing, the College was significantly impacted by inflation, with increaslng costs affecting all areas, notably utility costs and grants & bursaries. Staff costs would have 3150 increased had it not been for the large pension credit (see the Staff and Pen510nS section for further detail).
Educotion The College ran a deficit of £5.8m on its educational account a5 fee income T5 significantly below the costs of admitting, teaching and supporting students. This also includes the cost of supporting research, which accounts for £1.4m of costs. The deficit is only sustainable throLtgh funding from donations and endowment income. Accommodatlon, Conferenclns ond Catering Income increased from £8.5m to £9.1 m, with the growth primarily dve to conferencing. Costs also rose from £10.8m to £12.Om. The deficit on these activities increased to £Z.8m 12022-23.. £2.3ml. Poy Related C05t5 Payroll costs, which are the largest element of the College's expenditure, decreased from 39% to 36% of total expenditure. However, this was entirely due to a large pension credit, and excluding this element the percentage remained stable at around 39% erotin Short Gll The Operating Shortfall measures the excess of College costs over Operating Income. The financial pressure on the College in terms of its core educational, accommodation and catering activities means that the College is reliant on the support of donations, its conferencing business and its endowment income to enable it to generate a surplus. The income from endowment ensures that the College Is able to keep pace with the growng demands placed upon it. Investment Per The College's investment portfolio produced a total return of 7. 1% (2022-23.. 5. 1%) during the year. The capital value increased from E224m to £237m, comprising the College's financial a5sets1£121 ml and property 1£116ml. The overall performance was in line wTth long-run target return of CPl+5% 17.1%). The financial portfolio achieved a return of 8.8%, reflecting movernents in the global equity markets, especially in the first half of 2023. The College's financial investments are primarily managed by the Cambridge University Endowment Fund and Cazenove Capital. In the property portfolio, which is heavily concentrated in the Greater Cambridge area, the College saw rises in the value of its commercial properties, notably on Station Road, which more than offset a small reduction in residential values. A5 a result, the capital value of the investment properties increased by 2.1%. which, wth an income return of 3.4%, resulted in an overall return of 5.5%. ormance The College is advised on its investments by two committee5, the Financial Investment Committee and the Propeity Investment Committee, with the majority of the membership consisting of external experts. Investment Costs The costs of managing the College'5 endowment are charged directly to the endowment and do not form part of the Operating Income and Expenditure calculations. Investment Costs for the financial portfolio were £0.2m 12022-23.- £0.2ml. Investment C05t5 for the property portfolio Iland and buildings) are a mixture of agency fees, buildings repair costs, and additions/disp05als Costs. The total was £0.9m 12022-23.. £0. 9m). Costs associated with property development activitie5 were £0. 1 m 12022-23.. £0.8ml, reflecting work across a range of projects. itol Ex nditure The total capital expenditure on fixed assets was £1.6m 12022-23.. £6.8ml. The significant reduction was due to the completion of the Kitchen project in the prior year and a VAT rebate on this project, which was received during the year. 12
8alance Sheet and Reserves Net College assets increased slightly to £385m12022-23.' £375ml, with the growth in investment assets and fixed 355et5 partially offset by a reduction in cash balances. Long-term creditors represent unsecured bank loan5 and bond5. In October 2018 the College undertook a private placement transaction consisting of two tranches of bonds, E20m each, repayable in 2058 and 2068 and with fixed interest rates of 2.63% and 2.65% respectively, with the drawdown of the 2068 tranche occurring in October 2020. The College a150 ha5 a C20m bank loan repayable in 2039 with an interest rate fixed, for the most part, at 4.6%. Restricted reserves increased by £9m to £247m, whilst Unrestricted reserves increased by £1 m to E138m. The Restricted reserves are predominantly wnade up of the College's permanent unrestricted endowment and are therefore significantly affected by any movement in the investment values. The Unrestricted reserves were uplifted by the large surplus on the unrestricted income and expenditure account, which wa5 entirely due to a large penslon credit and two fixedlheritage asset donations. The College is committed to a steady long-term increase in its finanthal resources to ensure that it can continue to meet the needs of its members in the future, and it has adopted a policy of maintaining the value of its re5erve5 in real terms over the long term. This is consistent with a charity th the history and position of the College that has met the needs of its members over many centuries. Sta Gnd Pensions Non-academic staff number5 ifkcrea5ed by 12% partly due to the increase in the conferencing business. Staff costs fell slightly, but there was an underlwng increase masked by a positive movement in pension provision5. In relation to pensions, for USS, which is for its Fellows and academic staff, the provision was completely reversed, resulting in a E1.2m credit. A separate small loss was included In Other Comprehensive Income solely in relation to the Jesus College Cambridge Pension Scheme IJCCPSI, which is for non-academic staff and is c105ed to new members. All of these movements are non-cash adjustments. The positive net asset position of the JCCPS of EO.7m arises from a long-term with-profit contract with a life assurance company and explain5 why the scheme has remained consistently in surplus. With regard to USS, a provision is not calculated on an actuarial basi5, but it represents the discounted cost of future deficit recovery payments. As a result of the 2023 valuation, deficit recovery payments were no longer required, and the prior year provislon was therefore completely reversed. This calculation bears no relation to the overall liabilities of USS, where the College has an unspecified contingent liability, due to the multi-employer, 'last-man standing, nature of the scheme. Fundr0i5in The donor participation rate is 15% 11,5041 of the College's alumni for who it has contact details. Donations Increased to £4.1m 12022-23.. £2.6ml. Fundraising costs during the year amounted to £0.4m. The College's fundraising is focused on Its alumni and supporters, who have established connections with the College. The College does not use external fundraisers. Fundraising and alumni relations are the responsibility of the College's Director of Development & Alumni Relations, who is a Fellow and who reports to the Development Committee and the College Council. The College 15 registered th the Fundraising Regulator and complies with the Code of Fundraising Practice. Prlncipal risks and uncertainties The major risks to which the College is exposed are assessed by the responsible College departments and Committees reporting to the Council, and are documented in the College Risk Register, which 15 reviewed each Lent Term. The most significant short to medium-term risk facing the College relates to volatility and reduced returns from its endowment and inflation. The College is particularly under pressure in terms of staff and utility costs and the rising cost of supporting its Students. As a result, the College faces the 13
possibility of reduced growth in endowment income at the same time as inflationary pressure on its Costs. The financial pressure bears most on its educational actiwties, where the failure to see any rise in UK undergraduate fees at a time of higher inf lation, together with increasing financial and workload pressures on its Fellows (many of whom work principally at the Univer51tyl and education support staff, is of particular concern. Although the College's investments have performed reasonably well and met the target return, concern5 over the global economy and longer-term growth continue to overshadow the financial markets. The diversified nature of the College's endowment helps to mitigate risks associated th the return from its investments, which are managed on a long-term total return basi5. The College's property portfolio is heavily focused on the Cambridge region, which has substantial development potential and has been of financial benefit given the sustained long-term growth of the Cambridge economy. The College's debt exposure is wnanaged through long-term loans and bonds at fixed interest rates. The long-term performance of the College is very closely linked to that of the University and the other Cambridge colleges. The Future The College continues to cope well in the face of adverse financial headwnds. Its conferencing business has recovered well post-pandemic and has potential for further growth. However, the impact of rising costs with relatively fixed income in a number of areas is a challenge for the College, if it shes to maintain and grow the support that it offers to its beneficiaries lits academics and studentsl. The College has responded to the challenge of climate change in both its investment and operational activities and will continue to play a lead in the collegiate Universlty. The position of USS ha5 improved significantly with the scheme now in surplus followng the 2023 valuation. But future valuation volatility to which the College is exposed to wth its small membership, but relatively large asset base, is of ongoing concern, although there are positive moves towards a medium-term reform of the scheme. With a rising deficit on its core educational activities, and a deficit on its accommodation, catering and conferencing account. it is important that the College maintains its financial position to meet these challenges. This can be achieved by increasing donations, growing its conferencing business, and protecting and growing its endowment. The College remains in robust financial health, and It is important that careful financial management Is continued in order to maTntain this pos?tion.

Statement of Internal Control 1. The Council is responsible for maintalning a sound system of internal control that supports the achievement of policy, aims, and objective5 while safeguarding the public and other funds and assets for which the Governing Body is responsible, in accordance wth the College's Statutes. 2. The system of internal control is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve policies, aims, and objectives- it therefore provides reasonable but not absolute assurance of effectiveness. 3. The system of internal control is designed to identify the principal risks to the achievement of policies, airns and objectives. to evaluate the nature and extent of those rlsks and to manage them efficiently, effectively, and economically. This process was in place for the year ended 30 June 2024 and up to the date of approval of the financial statements. 4. The Council is responsible for reviewng the effectiveness of the system of internal control. The following processe5 have been established= 5. The Council's review of the effectiveness of the system of internal control is informed by the work of the various Committees, Bursar, and College offlcers, who have responsibility for the development and maintenance of the internal control framework, and by comments made by the external auditors in their management letter and other reports. Re5ponsibllities of the College Council The Council is reswnsible for preparing the Annual Report and financial statements in accordance th applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdoffl Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The College's Statutes and the Statute5 and Ordinances of the University of Cambridge require the Governing Body to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the College and of the surplus or deficit of the College for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Council is required to: select Suitable accounting policie5 and then apply them consistently., make judgement5 and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the College will continue in operation. The Council is responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the College and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Statutes of the University of Cambridge. They are also responsible for safeguarding the asset5 of the College and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The Council is responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the College's website.
Independent audltors. report to the Governing Body of Jesus College. Cambrldge Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Jesus College (the 'Collegel and its subsidiaries Ithe 'Group'i for the year ended 30 June 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Expenditure, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Reserves, the Consolidated and College Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that ha5 been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdorn Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion, the financial statement5'. give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and College's affairs as at 30 June 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended., have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice- and have been prepared in accordance with the requTrement5 of the Charities Act 2011 and the Statutes of the Unlversity of Cambridge. Basis for opinlon We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing IUKI IISAS IUKII and applicable law. Our restJ)nsibilit7e5 under those standards are further described in the Auditor5, responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirement5 that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the aLsdit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our OPTnion. Conclusions relatlng to going concern In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees, use of the going concern basFS of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to event5 or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group's or College's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our respon5ibilitles and the responsibilities of the Trustee5 With respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. Other information The Trustees are responsible for the other infomiation. The other ?nformation comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our auditors, report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statement5 does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in Our report, we do not express any form of ssurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility 15 to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with
the financial Statements, or our knowledge obtained in the course of the atjdit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material isstatements, we are required to determine whether there 15 a fflaterial misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Statutes of the Univer51ty of Cambridge In our opinion based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: The contrlbution due from the College to the Vniversity has been computed as advised in the provisional assessment by the University of Cambridge and in accordance wth the provisions of Statute G,11, of the University of Cambridge. Matter5 on whlch we are requlred to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and College and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees. We have nothing to report in respect of the followng matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you If, in our opinion: sufficient accounting records have not been kept- or the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records. or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for OL¢r audit. Re5ponsibllltles of the College Council As explained more fully in the responsibilitie5 of the College Council statement set out on page 15, the College Council are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satlsfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the College Council determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material mlsstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial Statements, the College Council are responsible for assessing the Group's and College's ability to continue as a golng concern, di5closing> as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unles5 the Trustee5 either intend to liquidate the Group or the College or to cease operatlons, or have no realistic alternative but to do 50. Auditor5, responsibilities for the audlt of the flnanclal statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material mi55tatement, whether due to f raud or error, and to issue an Auditors. report that include5 our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but Is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance th ISAS IUKI will always detect a material mlsstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if. individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basTS of these financial statements. Irregularlties, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures In line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material mi5Statements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 17
Our approach to identifyTng and a55essing the risk5 of material rnisstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows: the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectTvely had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills lo identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations. we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Group through discussions with Trustees and other management, and frorn our knowledge and experience of the education sector., we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the Group and how the Group is complying wth that framework. we obtained an understanding of the Group's policies and procedures on compliance with laws and regulations, including documentation of any instances of non-compliance,. we identified which laws and regulations were significant in the context of the Group. The Laws and regulations we considered in this context were Charities Act 2011, the Statutes of the Universlty of Cambridge and taxation legislation. We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulation5 as part of Olsr audit procedures on the related financial statement items. in addit70n, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance wth which might be fundarnental to the Group's ability to operate or to avoid material penalty,. and identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. We asse55ed the susceptibility of the Group's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud fflight occur, by: making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud. and considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we,. tested journal entrie5 to identify unusual transactions. assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in detemiining the accounting estimates set out in the accounting policy were indicative of potential bias., and investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual tran5action5. In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included. but were not limited to= agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; reviewing mTnutes of meetings of those charged with governance,. enquiring of management as to actual and w)tential litigation and clalms,. and reviewing correspondence with relevant regulators and the College's legal advisors. There are inhererbt limitations in our audTt procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions. the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliallce. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non- compliance wth laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material mi5Statements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. 18

PER$ ELWORTHY & MOORE Chartered Accountants and Statutory Auditors Salisbury House Station Road Cambridge CB1 2LA Date: 12 November 2024 Peters Elworthy & Moore is eligible to act as an auditor in terms of Section 1212 of the Companies Act 2006. 19
Statement of Prlnclpal Accounting Policies Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Statutes of the College and of the University of Carnbridge, using the Recommended Cambridge College Accounts IRCCAI format. and applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards including Financial Reporting Standard 102 IFRS 1021 and the Statement of Recommended Practice ISORPI: Accounting for Further and Higher Education issued in 2019. The Statement of Comprehenslve Income and Expenditure includes activity analysi5 in order to demonstrate that all fee income is Spent for educatlonal purposes. The analysis required by the SORP is set out in note 7. The College is a public benefit entity and therefore has applied the relevant public benefit requirement of the applicable UK law5 and accounting standards. Basis of accounting The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified in respect of the treatment of investments which is included at valuation. Basls of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the College and its subsidiary undertakings. Details of the subsidiary undertakings included are set out in note 27. Intra-group balances are eliminated on consolidation. Recognition of Income Academic fees Academic fees are recognised in the period to which they relate and include all fees chargeable to students or their Sponsors Grant Income Grants received from non-government sources (including research grants from non-government sources) are recognised within the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Expendlture when the College is entitled to the income and performance related conditions have been met. Income received in advance of perfomiance related conditions is deferred on the balance sheet and released to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Expenditure in line with such conditions being met. Donations ond endowments Non exchange transactions vlthout performance related conditions are donations and endowments. Donations and endowments with donor imposed restrictions are recognised within the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Expenditure when the College is entTtled to the income. Income is retained within restricted reserves until such time that it is utili5ed in line th such restrictlons at which point the incoffle is released to general reserves through a reserve transfer. Donations and endowment5 Wlth restrictions are classified as restricted reserves with additional dlsclostjre provided within the notes to the accounts. There are four main types of donations and endowments with restriCiTons: 20
Restricted donations - the donor ha5 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 stream for the general benefit of the College. 3. Restricted expendable endowments the donor has specified a particular objective and the College can convert the donated sum into income. 4. Restricted permanent endowments - the donor has specified that the fund is to be permanently invested to generate an income stream to be applied to a particular objective. DonatlOnS Wlth no restrictions are recorded within the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Expenditure when the College is entitled to the income. Investment income ond change in value of investment a55etS Investment income and change in value of investment assets is recorded in income in the year in which it arises and as either restricted or unrestricted income according to the terrns or other restrictions applied to the individual endowment fund. Total return The College inve5t5 Its endowment investment portfolio and allocates a proportion of the related earnings and capital appreciation to the statement of comprehensive income and expenditure in accordance wlth the total return concept. The allocation to income is determined by a spending rule which is designed to stabilise annual spending levels and to preserve the real value of the endowment portfolio over time. The income transferred to the income and expenditure account on this total return basis is calculated at 4% of the weighted average value of the College's investment portfolio over a five-year perlod up to the commencement of the current accounting year. Other income Income 15 received from a range of activities including accommodation, catering conference5 and other services rendered. Cambrldse Bur5Gry Scheme In 2023-24, payment of the Cambridge Bursaries has been made directly by the Student Loans Company ISLCI. 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 £225,358 1£224,4481 is shown thfjn the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Expenditure as follows: 2023-24 1270,235 £495,593 2022-23 £216,865 £441,313 Income Expenditure Forelgn currency translation Transactions denominated in foreign currencles are recorded at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at year end rates or, where there are forward foreign exchange contract, at contract rates. The resulting exchange differences are dealt with in the determination of the comprehensive income and expenditure for the financial year. Fixed assets Lond ond building5 Fixed assets are stated at deemed cost less accurnulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Certain item5 of fixed assets that had been revalued to fair value on or prior to the date of transltion to SORP, are measured on the ba515 of deemed cost, being the revalued atnount at the date of that revaluation. 21
Where parts of a fixed asset have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of fixed assets. Costs incurred in relation to land and buildings after initial purchase or construction, and Pfior to valuation, are capitalised to the extent that they increase the expected future benefits to the College. Freehold land is not depreciated as it is considered to have an indefinite usefLJI life. Since 2021-22, freehold buildings lon the college maln site) are depreciated on a straight-line ba515 over their expected useful lives as follows: External Structures Internal Structures 100 years 50 years In firbancial years prior to 2021-22 external structures have been depreclated over 200 years. Since 20Z1-Z2, student house5 (off the main college sitel are depreciated on the same ba515 as the external and internal structures above. Those freehold buildings that are college houses off the college main site Inon-5tudent relatedl are not depreciated and are subject to an annual impairment review. Transfers of propertie5 from investment property to fixed assets are recorded at their current market value. Leasehold land is depreciated over the life of the lease up to a maximum of 50 years. BuildTngs under constructlon are valued at cost, based on the value of architects, certlflcates and other direct cost5 incurred. They are not depreciated until they are brought into use. Land held specifically for development. investment and subsequent sale is included in current assets at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of additions to operational property shown in the balance sheet includes the cost of land. Furniture, fittings and equlpment costing less than £10,000 per individual item or group of related items is written off in the year of acquisition. All other assets are capitalised and depreciated over their expected useful life as follows= Computer equipment Furniture and fittings General equipment 3 year5 10 years 5-20 years Leased G55ets Leases in which the College assumes substantlally all the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased a55et are classified as finance leases. Leased assets acquired by way of finance leases are stated at an amount equal to the lower of their fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments at inception of the lease, less accumulated depreciation and less accumulated impairment losses. Lease payments are accounted for as described below. Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Costs in respect of operating leases are charged on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Any lease premiums or incentives are spread over the minimum lease term. Heritose assets The College holds and conserves a number of collections. exhibits, artefacts and other assets of historical, artistic or scientific importance. Herltage assets acquired before 1999 have not been capitali5ed since reliable estimates of cost or value are not available on a cost-benefit basis. Acquisitions since 1999 have been capitalised at cost or, in the case of donated a55ets, at expert 22
valuation on receipt. Heritage assets are not depreciated since their long economic life and high residual value mean that any depreciation would not be material. Investments Fixed asset investments are Included in the balance sheet at fair value. This year the College updated its valuation methodology. The College now uses a mixed methodology of external and internal valuations. The rural portfolio and residential properties were valued Internally by a professionally qualified individual with reference to the appropriate market data and indices. Commercial properties were partially valued internally in a similar way but where the propertie5 were more complex, or formed a substantial proportion of the portfolio, or had undergone rent reviews or new lettings then they were valued by an external property consultant. Investments in subsidiary undertakings are eliminated on consolidation. Financial investments that are not listed on a recognlsed stock exchange are carried at historical cost less any provision for impairment in their valuelmarket value. Investments in subsidiary undertakings are eliminated on consolidation. Investments that are not listed on a recognised stock exchange are carried at historical cost less any provlslon for Impairment in their valuelmarket value. Stocks Stocks are stated at the lower ol cost and net realisable value after making provision for slow moving and obsolete items. ProvisTons 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 economlc beneflts will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Contingent liabilitie5 and a5setS A contingent liability arises from a past event that gTves 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 ihe College. Contingent liabilities also arise in circumstances where a provision would otherwse be made but either it is not probable that an outflow of resource5 will be required, or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured reliably. A contingent asset arises where an event ha5 taken place that gives the College a possible asset whose existence wll 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 recognised in the balance sheet but are disclosed in the notes. Financial instruments The College has elected to adopt Sections 11 and 12 of FR5 102 in respect of the recognition, measurement and disclosure of financial instnjments. 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 arrangements entered into. A financial asset and a financial liability are offset only 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 reali5e the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Financial assets Basic financial assets include trade and other receivables, cash and cash equlvalents and investments in commercial paper li.e., deposits and bonds). 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 receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Financial assets are 23
a55essed for Indicators of impairment at each reporting date. If there 15 objective evidence of impairment, an impairment lo55 15 recognlsed in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. For financial assets carried at amortised cost the impairment loss Is the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments, which are not subsidTaries or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value which is typically the transaction price. These assets are subsequently carried at fair value and changes in fair value at the reporting date are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Where the investment in equity instruments is not publicly traded and where the fair value cannot be reliably measured, the assets are measured at cost less impairment. 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 substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to another party. Financial Llabllltles 8asic financial liabilities include trade and other payable5, bank loans and intergroup loans. These liabilities are initially recogni5ed at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transactlon, where the debt instrument ls measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amort15ed cost using the effective interest rate method. Fees pald on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transactlon costs of the loan to the extent that it TS probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. Trade payables are obligation5 to pay for goods or seNlces that have been acqulred 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 initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost Using the effective interest rate method. Derivatives, including forward foreign exchange contracts, are not basic financial instruments. Derivatives are initially recogni5ed at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value at the reporting date. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in finance costs or finance income as appropriate, unless they are included in a hedging arrangement. To the extent that the College enters into forward foreign exchange contract5 which remain unsettled at the reporting dale the fair value of the contracts is reviewed at that date. The initial fair value is measured as the transaction price on the date of inception of the contracts. Subsequent valuations are considered on the basis of the forward rates for those unsettled contracts at the reporting date. The College does not apply any hedge accounting in respect of forward foreign exchange contiacts held to manage cash flow exposures of forecast transactions denominated in foreign csjrrencies. Financial liabilities are de-recognised when the liability is discharged, cancelled, or expire5. Taxatlon The College Is a registered charity (number 11374621 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 Tncome or capital gain5 received within the categorie5 covered by Sections 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 incoffle or gains are applied to exclusively charitable purposes. The College receives no similar exemption in respect of Value Added Tax. Contrlbutlon under Statute G. 11 24
The College is lTrable to be assessed for Contribution under the provisions of Statute G,11 of the University of Cambridge. Contribution is Used to fund grants to colleges from the Colleges Fund. The liability for the year is as advised to the College by the Univer51ty based on an assessable amount derived from the value of the College's assets as at the end of the previous financial year. Pension costs Pension5 are detailed In note 30 to the accounts. Employment beneflts Short tem employment benefits such as salaries and compensated absences are recognised as an expense in the year in which the employees render setvice to the College. Any unused benefits are accrued and measured as the additional arnount the College expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement. Reserves Reserves are allocated between restricted and unrestricted reserves. Endowment reseThes 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 ha5 designated a specific purwse and therefore the College is restricted in the use of these funds. Critlcal Accounting Estimates and Judgements The preparation of the College's accounts requires management to make judgements. estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. These judgements, estimate5 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 WTII, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. Management consider the areas set out below to be those where crTtical accounting judgement5 have been applied and the resulting estimates and a55umptions 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 deterfftining when performance related conditlOn5 have been met and determining the appropriate recognition timing for donations, bequests and legacies. In general, the later are recognised when at the probate stage. Useful live5 of property, plant and equipment - Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the College's total asset5. Therefore, the estimated useful lives can have a slgnificant impact on the depreciation charged and the College's reported performance. Useful lives are determined at the time the asset 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 8. 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 on the level of debtors which have defaulted historically, coupled with current economic knowledge. The provision 15 based on the current situation of the customer. the age profile of the debt and the nature of the amount due. Investment property - Propertles were revalued to their fair value at the reportir)g 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 involve5 rnaking assumptions about discount rates, future salary increase5, mortality rates and future pension increases. Due to the cofflplexity of the 25
valuation, the underlying assumptions and the long-term nature of these plan5, such estimates are subject to significant uncertainty. Further details are given in note 30. Management are 5at15fied that Universities Superannuation Scheme meet5 the definitlon of a multl- employer scheme and has therefore recognised the discounted fair value of the contractual contributions under the funding plan in existence at the date of approwng the accounts.

Jesus College Notes to the Accounts Year Ended 30 June 2024 30 Pension Schemes Universities Superannuation Scheme The College participates in Universities Superannu8tion Scheme. The assets ofthe scheme are held in a separate Iruslee-adminislered fund. Because of the mutual nature of the scheme, the assets are not attributed lo individual Inslilulions and a scheme-wide contribution rale is sel. The College is therefore exposed lo actuarial risks associated with other institutions, employees and is unable to idenlify ils share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the scheme on a consislenl and reasonable basis. As required by Section 28 of FRS 102 'Employee benefits., the College therefo accounts for the scheme as if il were a defined contribution scheme. As a result, the amount charged to the profil and loss account represents the contributions payable lo the scheme and the deficit recovery contributions payable under the scheme's Recovery P18n. Where a scheme valuation determines that the scheme is in deficit on a technical provisions basis las was the case following the 2020 valualionl, the trustee of the scheme must agree a Recovery Plan that determines how each employer within the scheme will fund an overall deficit. The College recognises a liability for the contributions payable that arise from such an agreement Ilo the extent that they relate lo a deficill with related expenses being recognised through the incorne statement. Further disclosures relating lo the deficit recovery liability can be found in note 16 FRS 102 makes the distinction beeen a group plan and a multi-employer scheme. A group plan consists of collection of entities under common control typically with a sponsoring employer. A multi-employer scheme is scheme for enlilies not under common control and represents ltypicallyl an induslry-wide scheme such as Universities Superannuation Scheme. 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 exlenl that they relate lo the deficill with the resulting expense charged through the profit or loss account in accordance with section 28 of FRS 102. The Trustees are satisfied that Universities Superannuation Scheme meets the definition of a mulli- employer scheme and has therefore reeognised the discounted fair value of the contractual contributions under the recovery plan in existence at the date of approving these financial statements. Pension Costs The total cost charged to the profil and loss account is £305,90712023'. £355,114) as shown in note 8b. Deficit recovery contributions due within one year for the College are £49,17812023'. £101,931). 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 rale would increase lo 6.30/0. As set out in Note 16, no deficit recovery plan was required under the 2023 valuation because the scheme was in surplus on a technical provisions basis. The College was no longer required lo make deficit recovery contributions from 1 January 2024 and accordingly released the outstanding provision lo the profit and loss account. The latest available complete actuarial valuation of the Retirement Income Builder is as at 31 March 2023 Ithe valuation dale). which was carried out using the projected unit method. Since the institution cannot identify its share of USS Retirement Income Builder (defined benefill assets 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 Pensions Act 2004, which requires schemes lo have sufficient and appropriate assets to cover their technical provisions (the slatulory funding objectivel. Al the valuation dale, 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 Yo. 41
