some subjects. co appoint superwsory. Some of these are Homerton Fellows and College Teaching Officers
and others are 'external' Directors of Studie5.
This year many of our student& like ochers across the UniveT5ity and universities across the IIK, were
affected by the Marking Assessment Boycott. Despite industrial action. our student5 engased
productively with examinarions. However. patchy results across many subjects have created difficulty for
many. particularly those who need to apppi for visas for Postgraduate degrees or indeed for those with
potential employment which requires the publiation of their results. The College has provided active
support in a variety of iN2yS buc looks forward to these matters being resolved.
At the time of writing, we are still wartFng for final exam results for many subjects. but already know that we

With work on the New Dining Hall completed. a(¢entyon turned to refurbishment to Alison Shr¢Jb501e and
Paston Brown rooms Fn the Ibberson Building. The renovations address the requirements to increase
suscainabili¢y and so reduce eneriy consumption by adding internal13yer5 of insulation. They have also
improved lighting, enhanced the lib terior design. improved che audio-visual iechnology. and intrcduced alr
conditioning. TFke renovated rooms are hugely popular with conferer)ce guests and have contribLJted to che
reLovery in our conference business.
Maintaining the focus on energy efficiency, in early Autumn 2022 we installed around 400 Wi-Fi contbeeced
Ecosync radiator valves into the Cavendish buildirhg. The valves monitor room temperature in each room
and automatically adjust the flow of heat while stmulraneously reporting energy usage across the entire
building. Resulcs are outstanding.. in the initial three-monih perh)d from I September to 3 Deceinber 2022
the College saved 20% on heating related enei-gy usage. This is the equivalent of savrrkg. just under 19 Mwh
of tsnergy. or the release of 3.5 ionnes of carbon to the atmosphere.
During the summer of 2023 the College renovated all 40 bedrooms in E35t House. coiitirFuing the
commitment io refresh all campus bedrooms on a roll.ng. ien-year cycle. The Easi House rooms are all ￿-
suite, and the renovations included re•decoration. new carpets and refitted bathroom&
Future estatÈ5 projects will Éknmine opwrtuniires to reconstruct the K-block area of the Cavendish building
to provide an entrance foyer to the original Gre31 Hall. We will also examine opporwnities to expand
graduate and postgraduate student accommodation on campus.

Auditoi's responsibilttiesfor the (Judit of theAinunciol statements
We have been appoiiited as aLEditor undLr seclion 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance
with regulations made Uvbder section 154 of tl)at Act.
Our objectives are to obtJin reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement5 as a whole are
free from material misstateinent, whether due to fraud or error. and to issue ai) auditQ¥'5 report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is nol a guarantee that an audit
condiicted tn accordance with ISAS IUKI will dlways detect a material misstatement 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 econcimic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
financial statements.
Irregularities. including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our iesponsibilitie5, Outlined above, to detect material misStatement5 in respecl of
irregularities. including fraud. The extent to which oui piocedures are capable of detecting iiregularities,
including fiaud is detailed below..
We gained an under51anding of the legal 3nd regulalory framework applicable to the College and how it
operates and COi15idered the risk of the College not complying with the applicable laws and regulalii)ns
including fraud in particulai. those that could have a material impact on the financial staternents. This
included those regulations directly related to the financial statements.
The risks were discussed with the audit team and we remained alert to any indications of non-compliance
throughout the audit. We carried out specific pr(Kedures to address the risks identified. These included the
following..
We reviewed systems and procedures to identify potential areas of management
override risk. In particular, we carried out testing of journal entries and other
adjustments for appropriateness.
We reviewed minutes of Finance, College Council and Governing Body meetings and
agreed the financial statement disclosure¢ to underlying supporting documentation.
We have made enquiries of management and officers of the College regarding laws
and regulations applicable to the org3nizètion.
We reviewed the risk management proce55e5 and procedure5 in place including
reporting of risk management to the College Council.
We also assessed management bias iri relation to the accounting policies adopted
and in determining significant accounting estimates, including the valualion of
investments
Because of the inherent lTrmitation5 of an audil. there is a rtsk that we will not detect all irregularities,
including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with
regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance wilh a law or regulatM)n is removed from the events
and transartions reflected in the financial statements, a5 we will be less likely to become aware of instances
of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regardin8 irregularrties occurring due to fraud rather than error,
as fraLtd involves intentional concealment. forgery. collusion. omission or misrepresentation.

Principal accounting policies 30 June 2023
The pi"incipal accounting policies adopted. judgements and key sources of estimation uncertaiiity in ihe
i)reparatioD of the financial statements ale laid out below.
Basis of preparation
The linancial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention,
modified in respecE of the treatment of investments and land and buildings wliich are included at valuation.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Statues of the College
and i)f the University of Cambridge and appliance United Kingdom accounting standards. In addition, the
financial statements comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice.. Accounting for Further and
Higher Education (the SORPI.
The Statement of Comprehensive Income and Expendilure include5 activity analysis in order to demonstrate
that all fee income is spent for educational purposes. The an3￿51S required by the SORP is sel out in Note 9.
The College consists as a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are presented in sterling and are rounded to the nearest thousand pounds.
Going concern
The Group has net current assets of £492.0(M)12022- nel current assets £755,000).
The College aims to break even at operational level which means that ihe cash flow is usually positTve by a
similar level to the amount of depreciation charged to the accounts. This has historically funded ongoing
capital projects. To fund larger projecls such as a new graduate accommodation and the new DIT)ing Hall,
the College lias participated in a private placement or made use of an RCF. Cash flow plans shared wilh the
Investment Committee and College Council forecast a need to draw down from the investment portfolio
during the 2023 to 2025 period as projects urtsder the Estates Strategy are continued.
The members of the Couricil ITrusteesl have 3ccessed whether the use of the going Concern assumption Is
appropriate in preparing these financi31 statements. The Tru5tee5 have made this assessment in respect of a
period of one year from the date of approval of these financial statements.
The Trustees ol the tharity have concluded that there are r)0 ma-.erial uncertainties related to events or
conditions that may ca51 significant doubt on the ability of the cF.arity to Continue as a going conce¥n.
Furthermore, the Trustees are of the opinion that the College is."Ible to meet it5 liabilities as they fall due
and that there are significant free reserves held in readily access ble funds to both meet liabilities and allow
the completion of ongoing capital projects.

Principal accounling policie$ 30 June 2023
Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
Preparation of the fiFbaniFal statements requires Members of the Council to make significant jiidgements and
estimates.
The items in the financial stalemenls Whe￿ these judgement5 and estimates have been made in£lude-
valuation of investment land and buildings-
estimating the useful economic life of tangible and intangible fixed asset5;
pension scheme valuatiorTr5,' including deficit reduclion payments due under the Universities
Superannuatioii Scheme.
the present value of the Local Govemmenl Pension Siheme defined benefit asset which has
been restricted to the pension asset celling bèsed on a minimum funding requirernent being in
existence ol the pension scheme. Any changes in these assurnptions. which are disclosed in note
21, will impact the iatrying amount of the pension assevliability.
In addition to the above. the full impact following the recent emergence of the global coronavFrus pandemic
is still unknown. It is therefore not currently p055ible to evaluate all the potential implications for the group
and charities activities, beneficiaries and the wider economy. Estimates used in the financial statements,
particularly with respect to investment property valuations (see note 131, and the value of listed investments
are Subject to a greater degree of uncertainty and volatility.
Basis of consolidatlon
The consolidated financial statements consolidate the College ar)d its subsidiarieslsee note 131 for the year
ended 30 June 2023. Intra-group balance5 are eliminated on consolidation.
Joint venture
The College's investment in Ward Griffin LLP was accounted for as 3 joint venture under ihe equity method
of accoui)ting.
Recognitlon of income
Acodemicfees
Academic fees are recognised In the year to which they relate and ir.clu(le all fees chargeable to Students or
their sponsors.
Gront income
Grants received from non-gcvernment sources lincluding research grants from non-government sovrce51 are
recognised wiihin the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Expenditure when the College
is entitled to the inconie Ènd performance related conditions have been mel.
Income received in advance of performance related tonditions is deferred on the balance sheet and related
to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Expenditure in line with such conditions being
met.
Dontstions and benefo¢tlofts
Non-exchange transactions without performance related conditK>ns are donations and benefactions.
Donations and endowment5 With restrirtions are classified as restricted reserves with additional disclosure
provided within the notes to the accounts. Restricted donations are recogni5ed when the donor has
specilied that the donation must be used for a particular objective. Donations with no restrictions are

transaction5. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at
vear end rates or, where there are forward foretgn exchange contacts. at contract rates. The resulting

financial year.
Pension Schemes
uss
The College participates in the Univer51ties Superannuation 5chewne INSSI. a defined benefit scheme whlch is
contracted out of the State Second Pension1SSPI- The assets of the scheme are held in a separate trustee-
administrative fund. Because of the mutual nature of the scheme, the scheme's assE.ts are not hywthecated
to individual institutions and a scheme-wide contribution rate is set.
The College is the￿fOre exposed to actuarial risks associated with other institutions, employees and is
unable to identify it5 Share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the scheme on 3 tonsistent and
reasonable basis and therefore. as required by Seciion 28 of FRS 102 -EmpFoyee Benefits" accounts for the
scheme as if it were a defined cot)tributiorh scheme. As a result. the amount charged to the income and
expenditure account represent5 the contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting
period.
LGPS
The College also participates in the Cambridge County Council Pension Fund ICCCPFI which is a Local
Government Pension Scheme ILGP)l. The assets of the scheme are held and managed separately from those
of the College. As the College is able lo identify it$ share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the
scheme on a consistent and reasonable basis. in accordance wrth the requiremi)nts of Section 28 of FRS 102
'Employee Benefits" the pension scheme a55et or liability is recognised in full on the balance sheet.
The assets of the LGPS are measured using closing market values. LGPS liabiliti>s are measured using the
project unit method and discounted at ihe current rate of return on a high-quality corpDr3te bond of
equivalent term and cijrrency to the liability. The increase in the present value of the liabilities of the
scheme expected to arise from employee seNice in the period 15 charged to the operating surplus. The
expected return on the scheme's assets and the in¢￿ase durin8 the period in the present value of the
scheme's liabililies. arising from the passa@e of time, are included in pension and finance cost5. Actuarial
gains and1055es are recognised in'oth¢Jr tomprehensive income, in the Statement of comprehensive income
and expenditure.
The present value of the Local Governmerkt Pension Scheme defined benefit asset/ liability depends on a
number of factors thot are determined on an actuarial basis using a variety of assumptions. The assumptions
used in iJeterminin@ the net cost lincomel for pensions include the discount rate. Furthermore, 8 roll forward
approach which projects results from the latest full actuarial valuation performed at 31 March 2022 has
been used by the actuary in valurng the pensions asset at £430k 30 lune 202312022.. a55et £1,735kl. Any
differences between the figures derived from the roll forward approach and a full actuarial valuation would
Impact on the carrying amount of the pension asset.

vear5. Freehold buildings held at l July 2014 wei'e previously held at a valuation. As permitted by FRS 102,
with eFfect from l July 2014 the College elected to deem the valuation of these properties as cost. The value

remaining useful economic lives of these buildings from the date the values were deemed to be cost is 40
vears. Consequently. these buildings are now depreciated over a 40 year period.

will only bETr confirmed by the occurrence or otherwise of uncertain future event5, not wholly within the
control of1 he College. Contingent liabilities also arise in circumstances where a provision would otherwise
be made but either it is not probable that an ouiflow of resources will be required or ihe amount of the
obligation cannot be measured reliably.
Contingent liabilities are not iecognised in the balance Sheet but are disckjsed in the notes.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the College has a present legal or constructNe 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.
