their policy of f￿Mal risk assessmenl. Al College Commillees review and u￿ale the risk
assessment appropriate lo Iheir purpose al ￿ast annually. These are consolidated and
reviewed by the Audil Committee. Cdlege cour￿11 and Governing Bo(ly.
Previously considered stgnrficanl risks such as Brexit, which has created subslanlial
uncerlainlEs for lellows, staff and students are slill in the background and are manrfesling
themselves in drfficullies in recruiling staff and supply shortages. The UK Governments report
on Initial Teacher Training puls al risk the PGCE course in Cambridge University and Ihe loss
of fee income for the College and Ihe impact on its tenant the Faculty of Education.
The impact ol the pandemic still dominates the risk 8S5essmenl. There are uncertainlies as lo
the recovery from the pandemic and the likelihood of further such evenls in the fuluie. The
impacl of the pandemic in many ways. is a consolidation of prevKNJsly idenlified risks, And
still presents a risk, financially. academically and for personnel.
Also increasing in terms of likelihood and severily is the possible delerior3lion on the mental
health and academic achievement ol students primarily as a result of their experience over the
past 18 months as lirsl years and sixth form students. The College is providing additional
support lo our slvdenls. and have I￿reased academic and support programmes, through
Changemakers. and re-structured the pastoral supporl. Ihrough the Tulor system. for all
51udenl5.
The major change from last year's healmap is Ihe increase in likelihood and severity of Ihe
failure lo recruil m￿e UnFversrty Teaching orrws. This is within the A¢ademi¢ strategy as an
area of f￿A￿S.

an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS {UK} will always delecl a malerial misslalemenl when il
exists. Misslalements can arise from Iraud or erroT atKI are considered material if, individually or in the
aggregate. they could reasonably be expected lo infiuence the economic decistons of users taken on
the basis of these financial slalemenls.
Irregularities, induding fraud, are inslances of non-compliance wlh laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with OUT responsibilities, outlined above, to delecl material misslalemenls in respect
of irregularities, including fraud. The exlenl lo ￿r FKocedures are capable of delecling

regulalions including fraud in particular those that could have a material impact on the linancial
slalemenls. This included those regulations directly related lo the financial stalemenls. In relalion lo
the College this included data protection. heallh and safely, employment law and financial reporting.
The risks were discussed with Ihe audit team and we remained alert lo any indications of non-
compliance throughout the audit. We carried oul specific procedures to address Ihe risks Identif￿1.
These included the Idlowing..

Indepèndont audltoes report 30 June 2021
Because of the inherent limilalions of an audil. there is a fisk that we will not delecl all ifregularilies,
including Ihose leading lo a mater￿1 missialemenl in the financial statements or non-compliance with

evenls and transactions reflecled in Ihe linancial stalemenls. as we will be less likely lo become aware
of inslances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding brregularilies occurring due lo fraud
falher than error. as fraud involves intentional concealment. forgery. collusion, omlssion OT

The College expects lo contribute £577.000 lo ils defined benefit pension scheme in the year

The management bases required by FRS 102 are likely lo give rise lo significant fluctuations in
the reFK)rted aM￿nIS of the defined benelil Pens￿)n scheme assets and liabilities from year lo
year, and do not necessarily give rise to a change in the contributions payable into the scheme,
which are recommended by independent actuaries based on the expected long lerm rale of return
on the scheme assets.

has been agreed in respect of the USS pension scheme. A new Schedule of Contributions based on Ihe

of £1.037m in the provision for the obligation lo fund Ihe del￿11 on the USS pension which would instead
