NEWNHAM COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE

INTRODUCTION

Newnham College is one of the 31 colleges in the University of Cambridge. It was founded in 1871, and received its Royal Charter in 1917. According to the College’s Charter, Statutes and Ordinances, only women can be admitted as junior members (students) or elected as senior members (Fellows).

The College admits full-time undergraduates studying for the University’s Tripos degree courses; and postgraduates (predominantly full-time, but some part-time) studying for Masters, PhD and other postgraduate degrees, diplomas and certificates. The total number of full-time students as at 1 December 2022 was 630 (2021: 649), comprising 5 foundation year students, 417 undergraduates and 208 postgraduates (2021: 0, 429, 220). There were also 17 part-time postgraduates (2021: 10) and 75 postgraduates writing up or under examination (2021: 60). The College’s Governing Body had 61 Fellows as at 1 October 2023 (2022: 66), most of whom who are active in teaching and research within the University.

The College occupies a 17-acre site close to the centre of Cambridge, consisting of buildings built between 1875 and 2019, offering residential accommodation to more than 500 students, set in landscaped gardens. The buildings also house a library, teaching rooms, offices, shared eating spaces (dining hall, buttery, café), meeting rooms, common rooms and a gym.

The College is a Registered Charity, regulated by the Charity Commission; and is registered with the Fundraising Regulator.

These accounts are presented in the format of the Recommended Cambridge College Accounts (RCCA), which complies with the Further and Higher Education SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting for Further and Higher Education).

SUMMARY FINANCIAL RESULTS

The financial statements consolidate the activities of the College and the College’s two subsidiaries: Newnham College Management Ltd and Newnham College Ltd (which is inactive).

Total operational income for the year was £10.33m (2021-22: £9.33m), which included £3.67m (2021-22: £3.57m) in academic fees; and £4.74m (2021-22: £4.09m) from accommodation, catering and conferences. In addition, £8.30m (2021-22: £4.58m) in donations and legacies was received; and £3.81m (2021-22: £3.46m) of endowment return was transferred following the College’s total return rule. Whereas in 2021-2 the College reported a loss on investments of -£17.86m, in 2022-23 the equivalent figure is a gain of £5.47m.

Total operational expenditure for the year before pension provisions and loan interest payments was £14.24m (2021-22: £12.73m) including depreciation, or £12.53m (2021-22: £11.05m) excluding depreciation of £1.71m (2021-22: £1.68m). Of this £12.53m, 51% (£6.33m) was on staff costs (202122: 52%; £5.71m). The Statement of Comprehensive Income and Expenditure (SOCIE) shows total Expenditure of £15.53m (2021-22: £15.62m), including £0.28m (2021-22: £1.82m) in movement to pension provisions, and £0.99m (2021-22: £1.01m) in loan interest payments. In addition, a further £2.07m (2021-22: £0.99m) of capital expenditure is included in the balance sheet.

The College’s investment portfolio was valued at £124.40m as at 30 June 2023 (30 June 2022: £112.68m); and the balance sheet and the cash flow statement show £2.64m of cash as at the same date (30 June 2022: £5.04m).

NEWNHAM COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE

OBJECTS

The College’s objects as they appear in the Royal Charter were revised in 2019 and read:

(a) To further public benefit by providing a liberal education and promoting learning and research through the provision of a college for women within the University of Cambridge.
(b) To do all such other things as are incidental or conducive to advancing education and learning among women in Cambridge and elsewhere.
(c) For the purposes above to receive and apply donations from persons desiring to promote the objects of the College.
(d) To invest the moneys of the College not immediately required in any securities or investments which may from time to time be authorised for the purpose by the Council.

PUBLIC BENEFIT

The Trustees on appointment are provided with a link to the Charity Commission document ‘Charities and Public Benefit: Summary Guidance for Charity Trustees’, and are reminded at least annually of its recommendations and requirements. The College provided in 2022-23 an education for 630 (2021-22: 649) full-time students (foundation year students, undergraduates and postgraduates), in conjunction with the University of Cambridge, 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. In particular, the College provides:

teaching facilities and individual or small-group academic supervision for undergraduates;
pastoral, administrative and academic support for all students through its tutorial and mentor systems; and
social, cultural, musical, recreational and sporting facilities to enable each of its students to realise as much as possible of their academic and personal potential whilst studying at the College.

The College advances research mainly by:

providing Research Fellowships to outstanding academics at the early stages of their careers, which enables them to develop and focus on their research in this formative period before they undertake the full teaching and administrative duties of a permanent academic post;
supporting research work pursued by its other Fellows through promoting interaction across disciplines, providing facilities and providing grants for national and international conferences, research trips and research materials;
encouraging visits from outstanding academics both from other UK institutions and from abroad; and
encouraging the dissemination of research undertaken by members of the College through the publication of papers in academic journals or other suitable means.

The College maintains an extensive Library (including special collections), thus providing a valuable resource for students and senior members of the College, members of other Colleges and the University of Cambridge more widely, and external scholars and researchers.

The Trustees are satisfied that the College remains compliant with its duty in regard to public benefit. The primary beneficiaries are the resident members of the College, both students and academic staff, all of whom are directly engaged in education, learning or research. Other beneficiaries include: students and academic staff from other colleges in Cambridge and the

Annual Report & Financial Statements 2022-23

NEWNHAM COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE

PUBLIC BENEFIT (continued)

University of Cambridge more widely, visiting academics from other higher education institutions, and visiting schoolchildren and alumnae of the College who have an opportunity to attend educational events at the College or use its academic facilities. Members of the general public are also able to attend various educational activities in the College (such as public lectures).

As a College in the University of Cambridge the primary beneficiaries are academics and students of the University, all of whom need to meet high academic standards to be appointed or admitted and that requirement stands at the core of its nature. The College admits as students those who have the highest potential for benefiting from the education provided by the College and the University and recruits as 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.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

1. STUDENT NUMBERS

The biggest potential variable from one year to the next which affects operational income and expenditure is the size of the student body. The College admits foundation year, undergraduate and postgraduate students, and has a target of 655 full-time fee-paying students, made up of 5 foundation year students, 420 undergraduates and 230 postgraduates. The total number of full-time fee-paying students as at 1 December 2022 was 630, which represented a decrease from the previous year (649 in 2021), largely due to fewer postgraduates. This total comprised 5 foundation year students (0 in 2021); 417 undergraduates (429 in 2021), of whom 116 were new entrants (122 in 2021); and 208 full-time postgraduates (220 in 2021). The 208 postgraduates comprised 129 Doctoral students (141 in 2021), of whom 35 were new entrants (48 in 2021); and 79 non-Doctoral (predominantly Masters) students (79 in 2021). In addition there were 75 postgraduate students writing up/under examination (60 in 2021); and 17 part-time postgraduates (10 in 2021).

Until 2020-21, EU students had the same fee status as UK students, known as ‘Home’. As of the 2021-22 academic year new EU students have been charged the (higher) International rate, whereas continuing EU students who started in 2020-21 or earlier are still charged the Home rate. The effect of this change in fee status for EU students can most clearly be seen in the reduction in New Postgraduates paying the Home fee, a decrease from 81 in 2020 to 42 in 2022.

STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME AND EXPEDITURE (SOCIE)

2. SOCIE: INCOME

The first of the four financial statements is the Statement of Comprehensive Income and Expenditure (SOCIE). All income appears in this statement. Total income before donations and endowments was £10.33m (2021-22: £9.33m), and total income including donations and endowments was £18.64m (2021-22: £13.92m). The treatment of investment income and endowment return should be noted as explained in 2.3 below.

2.1 Academic fees and charges

Of the total of £3.67m (2021-22: £3.57m) under this heading, £3.25m (2021-22: £3.19m) was derived from student fees. These are set out in Note 1 to the accounts.

UK (and previously EU) undergraduates who are eligible for fee loans from the government-owned Student Loans Company (SLC) pay a regulated fee, which is currently £9,250 per annum for students admitted since September 2017. 50% of these fees are transferred to the University, and the College retains the other 50% (£4,625 per student). The total income to the College from this source was £1.57m (2021-22: £1.56m). The static nature of regulated undergraduate fee income (£9,000 per annum since 2012 and £9,250 since 2017) against a background of significantly increasing costs is highlighted as a ‘principal risk and uncertainty’ at the end of this review.

Non-UK undergraduates – and UK (and previously EU) undergraduates who are not eligible for SLC loans (generally as a result of having a first degree already) – pay an unregulated College fee, set by the College, in addition to their University fee (which varies by course). For first-year undergraduates in 2022-23, this College fee was £10,475 per annum, which remains unchanged for the duration of their course. The equivalent fees for undergraduates starting in prior years are: £9,975 (for 2021-22 starters), £9,500 (2020-21 starters) £8,700 (2019-20 starters), £8,100 (2018-19 starters) and £7,901 (2017-18 starters). The total income to the College from such students was £675k (2021-22: £670k).

Annual Report & Financial Statements 2022-23

NEWNHAM COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)

Postgraduate students pay a variety of University fees, depending on fee status and on course choice; but there is no separate College fee in addition. The 31 colleges collectively receive a share of the total postgraduate fees to the University (25%, up to a cap), which is redistributed on a per capita basis. This resulted in a fee of £4,761 per postgraduate student in 2022-23 (2021-22: £4,472), amounting to a total to the College of £1.01m (2020-21: £961k).

As well as student fees as set out above, the College received £103k (2021-22: £107k) from other colleges in return for Newnham academics supervising undergraduates from those colleges and for shared academic appointments. £250k (2021-22: £268k) was received as the external contribution to total awards of £392k (2021-22: £392k) paid through the Cambridge Bursary Scheme and the associated Top-Up Bursary Scheme. £64k was received from the Foundation Year bursary scheme (2021-22: £0k).

2.2 Accommodation, catering and conferences

The total of this source of income was £4.74m (2021-22: £4.09m), as set out in Note 2 to the accounts. The line in Note 2 ‘Accommodation – College members’ shows income of £3.22m from student rents (2021-22: £3.10m). Undergraduate rents were £165 per week (2021-22: £158) and postgraduate rents ranged from £142 to £172 per week (2021-22: £135-£165).

The take-up of the College’s catering offer (Buttery, Café, Formal Halls) by our students is set out in the line in Note 2 ‘Catering – College members’, which shows income of £796k, compared with £708k in 2021-22.

The Conference business (summer schools, weddings and private events as well as conferences) continued its post-Covid recovery with income of £717k (2021-22: £280k).

2.3 Investment income and Endowment return transferred

The SOCIE has two lines for these sources of income, ‘Investment income’ and ‘Endowment return transferred’. Note 3 sets out further detail. This is an area of the accounts which requires some explanation.

The first line ‘Investment income’ shows unrestricted income of £1.76m (2021-22: £1.21m). Note 3a shows that £1.52m (2021-22: £1.11m) came from distributions from the Cambridge University Endowment Fund (CUEF). The remaining £233k (2021-22: £102k) is from commercial rental income and bank interest.

The second line ‘Endowment return transferred’ requires explanation:

The total ‘Gain/(loss) on investments’ in the year is shown lower down the SOCIE and shows a gain in value of £5.47m (compared with an exceptional loss in 2021-22 of -£17.86m). The College operates a total return policy which smooths the distribution across a five-year period to acknowledge that there will be peaks and troughs of investment performance, as illustrated across the last three years (there having been an exceptional gain of £28.60m in 2020-21).

The total return policy makes available for spending an amount based on the average value of the units in the investment portfolio (excluding directly held investment properties) over the preceding five years, which allows for a smoothed approach to drawing down income. At 1 July 2022 there were 5,749,412 units held in the investment portfolio, with a unit value of £19.74 and a total value of £113.52m (At 1 July 2021 there were 5,603,754 units held in the investment portfolio, with a unit value of £23.35 and a total value of £130.85m.)

Annual Report & Financial Statements 2022-23

NEWNHAM COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)

The average value of the units over the five years preceding 1 July 2022 was £18.94, so when the drawdown rate of 3.5% as stipulated in the policy was applied to this unit value (£18.94) and the number of units held (5,749,412), the result was a return of £3.81m. (In 2021-22 the equivalent return was £3.46m.)

This figure of £3.81m is shown in the Income line in the SOCIE as ‘Endowment return transferred’, split between £1.68m Unrestricted and £2.13m Restricted. However, following an accounting requirement this £3.81m is excluded from the ‘Total income before donations and endowments’, by including a negative matching figure of £3.81m in the ‘Endowment’ column. Thus this ‘Endowment return transferred’ line is netted off to zero in the Income section of the SOCIE.

2.4 Other income

Other income of £171k (2021-22: £462k) is set out in detail in Note 4. The main reduction relates to the research grant from the DfID/FCDO (previously the Department for International Development, now the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office) which was completed in the previous financial year (£0k in 2022-23; £189k in 2021-22).

There was £34k of income relating to Roll & Development events (2021-22: £77k); £47k of external contributions towards salary costs (2021-22: £83k); and £11k (2021-22: £61k) of other income. In addition, £79k (2021-22: £52k) of VAT was recovered.

2.5 Donations and new endowments

Total donations and new endowments of £8.30m were received, as set out in Note 5. This was a significant increase on 2021-22 (£4.58m) and the previous three years as shown in this chart (which excludes an annual release from deferred capital grants of £51k):

NEWNHAM COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)

This chart shows the unpredictability of donation and legacy income while also highlighting the importance of this source of income. The College has been very fortunate to benefit in this way from the generosity of alumnae, and remains very grateful for this support. Such philanthropic income underpins the College’s continued ability to fulfil its mission: the advancement of education, learning and research.

3. SOCIE: OPERATING EXPENDITURE

The SOCIE shows operational expenditure, but excludes capital expenditure (see section 6 below). The categories of expenditure are prescribed by the RCCA format. Each line of expenditure includes a mix of Staff costs (direct and indirect) and Non-staff costs (direct and indirect). A series of breakdowns within Notes 6 to 19 sets out much of the detail.

Total operating expenditure for the year was £14.24m (2021-22: £12.73m), or £12.53m (2021-22: £11.05m) excluding depreciation of £1.71m (2021-22: £1.68m). As of 2021-22, buildings are now depreciated over 65 years rather than 100 years.

The total of £14.24m breaks down as £6.86m on Education (2021-22: £6.01m); £6.91m on Accommodation, catering and conferences (2021-22: £5.98m); and £474k on Other (2021-22: £746k). Notes 6a and 6b set out the detail.

3.1 Education

Notes 7 to 9 give detailed breakdowns of the £6.86m of expenditure on education. A significant part of the College’s education costs relate to the teaching of undergraduates, in particular undergraduate supervisions, the small-group teaching that is a feature of Cambridge (whereas the costs of providing lectures fall to the University), and Note 7a shows a total cost for Teaching of £2.34m (2021-22: £2.09m). This includes £140k towards the salary costs of shared University Teaching Officer (UTO) posts in Classics, English, Law and Maths.

The next biggest element of education expenditure was on Scholarships and awards (for both undergraduates and postgraduates), which came to £1.92m (2021-22: £1.68m). The College is fortunate to be in a financial position to make such awards, which are largely funded by philanthropy. Note 9 gives a useful breakdown of such awards.

All students, both undergraduate and postgraduate, have a personal Tutor who is responsible for providing non-academic support. The cost of such Tutors is included within the line ‘Tutorial’ and the total cost of the Tutorial and Admissions activities as shown in Note 7a came to £1.64m (2021-22: £1.48m). Research costs come under the heading of Education, and such costs came to £684k (202122: £520k), which includes the employment costs of stipendiary Junior Research Fellows.

3.2 Accommodation, catering and conferences

Note 6a shows how the total costs of £6.91m (2021-22: £5.98m) are split between staff costs and non-staff costs, and between direct costs and indirect costs. Direct staff costs are split between Catering and Conferences in Note 10, and direct non-staff costs are split between Catering and Conferences in Note 11. Accommodation-related costs such as Housekeeping staff are included within the indirect staff costs, because these costs are split across more than one activity.

3.3 Other expenditure

Note 6a shows how total costs of £474k (2021-22: £746k) are split between staff costs and non-staff costs, and between direct costs and indirect costs. Note 12 gives a breakdown of the direct staff

Annual Report & Financial Statements 2022-23

NEWNHAM COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)

costs, which mainly relate to the Margaret Anstee Centre and the Skilliter Centre. Note 13 shows the direct non-staff costs.

3.4 Staff costs

Staff costs include salaries, National Insurance, and pension costs.

The three expenditure areas (i) Education, (ii) Accommodation, catering and conferences, and (iii) Other expenditure, all include both direct staff costs and indirect staff costs. Staff costs are analysed in various ways in the Notes. Notes 6a and 17a show how total staff costs of £6.33m (2021-22: £5.71m) are allocated across the three expenditure areas, and some detail is given in Notes 7a and 8 (Education), Note 10 (Accommodation, catering and conferences) and Note 12 (Other) on the direct staff costs in each of those expenditure areas. It is to Note 18 that the reader must turn to understand all the other elements of staff costs which are allocated across the three expenditure areas. Note 18 shows the cost of departments such as Housekeeping, Maintenance, Porters’ Lodge, Gardens, Bursary, Development and Communications.

Further analysis is given in Note 20, which shows pensions costs of £860k (2021-22: £781k) and National Insurance costs of £376k (2021-22: £338k), on top of salary costs of £4.83m (2021-22: £4.32m). Headcount figures (both FTE and non-FTE) are shown. These include casual staff as well as permanent staff.

3.5 Non-staff costs

The three lines (i) Education, (ii) Accommodation, catering and conferences, and (iii) Other expenditure, all include both direct non-staff costs and indirect non-staff costs. Non-staff costs are analysed in various ways in the Notes. Note 6a shows how total non-staff costs of £7.91m (including depreciation of £1.71m) (2021-22: £7.02m, including depreciation of £1.68m) are allocated across the three expenditure areas, and some detail is given in Notes 7a and 9 (Education), Note 11 (Accommodation, catering and conferences) and Note 13 (Other) on the direct non-staff costs in each of those expenditure areas. Note 19 sets out the totals for the indirect non-staff costs.

Among the indirect non-staff costs of £2.81m (2021-22: £2.48m), the largest area of expenditure was utilities (electricity, gas, water) at £723k (2021-22: £517k). The College buys its gas and electricity through a consortium of colleges, with price fixes and hedges in place to counter fluctuations in prices. Even with such purchasing strategies in place, prices have increased by 96% since 2020-21.

The next largest cost was maintenance, at £611k (2021-22: £555k). This excludes capital expenditure, which does not appear in the SOCIE but is shown in Note 24 to the Balance Sheet.

4. SOCIE: OTHER EXPENDITURE

As well as £14.24m (2021-22: £12.73m) of operating expenditure, the total expenditure of £15.53m (2021-22: £15.62m) includes three other lines as described below.

4.1 Movement to pension provisions

The College participates in two defined benefit pension schemes, the Cambridge Colleges Federated Pension Scheme (CCFPS), and the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS). As at 30 June 2023 there were 3 active members in CCFPS and 147 active members in USS (30 June 2022: 3 in CCFPS, 136 in USS). The funding position of these two schemes are set out in detail in notes 42a (CCFPS) and

Annual Report & Financial Statements 2022-23

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)

42b (USS). Pensions represent a significant cost to the College: employer contributions of £915k were made in the year (see Note 21) (2021-22: £781k).

The total figure for the movement to pension provisions included under Expenditure in the SOCIE is £276k (2021-22: £1.82k). This comprises £25k for the CCFPS scheme and £251k for the USS scheme (2021-22: £31k for CCFPS, £1.79m for USS).

In relation to CCFPS, the actuarial consultants Cartwright Group Ltd are engaged to report on the financial position of the scheme at the year end. They have calculated a total liability of £970k as at 30 June 2023 (30 June 2022: £772k). Of this increase of £198k, £25k is recognised as expenditure (within the £276k as above) and £173k is recognised under ‘Other comprehensive income’.

In relation to USS, the provision in this year’s accounts is based on the 31 March 2020 actuarial valuation (which was the last formal completed actuarial valuation as at 30 June 2023) as the basis to use to model the liability as at the year end. (The 31 March 2023 actuarial valuation had not yet been formally completed at the time of these accounts, but the early indicators are very positive.) This resulted in a provision of £3.42m (2021-22: £3.17m), an increase of £0.25m, which is recognised as expenditure.

The combined CCFPS and USS pension provision as shown on the balance sheet and in Notes 21 & 31 was £4.39m as at 30 June 2023, an increase of £449k on the equivalent figure of £3.94m at 30 June 2022.

4.2 Loan interest payable

The College needs to repay loan interest in the order of £1m every year for a number of years (see Notes 22 and 30). The figure of £987k for 2022-23 (2021-22: £1.01m) comprises £162k for the Buttery/Kitchen loan (2021-22: £182k) and £825k for the two private placement bonds (2021-22: £824k) as described below.

The College took out a 25-year bank loan in 2007 to fund the Buttery/Kitchen project, repayable in 2032. In addition to the interest costs of £162k (2021-22: £182k), capital repayments of £270k were made (2021-22: £251k). The remaining balance on the loan at the end of the year was £3.07m (30 June 2022: £3.34m).

The College issued two private placement bonds, one for £11.58m in 2013 and one for £7.00m in 2014, with three repayment dates in 2043, 2044 and 2053, and the combined coupon (interest) payments come to £825k per year. These are set out in Note 30.

The proceeds of these private placements were used to part-fund the new Dorothy Garrod Building and its associated fixtures and fittings, which cost a combined total of £34.87m. The coupon payments on these two private placements will therefore remain £825k per year until 2043 (when the first £6.43m of capital has to be repaid). Reduced coupon payments will then continue until 2053 (when the final £5.15m of capital has to be repaid).

4.3 Contribution to the Colleges Fund

The Colleges Fund is a scheme whereby the wealth of all 31 colleges is assessed each year. The better-endowed colleges pay into a central fund, which is then disbursed to the less-well-endowed colleges. Note 23 shows that Newnham College’s contribution to this fund was £22k, which was a return to normal levels after the previous year’s contribution of £63k as a result of including two years’ worth of contributions in the one financial year.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 2022-23

NEWNHAM COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)

5. SOCIE: GAIN/(LOSS) ON INVESTMENTS

The total ‘Gain/(loss) on investments’ in the year shows a gain in value of £5.47m (compared with an exceptional loss in 2021-22 of -£17.86m), as shown in Note 3. The College’s total return policy smooths the distribution across a five-year period to acknowledge that there will be peaks and troughs of investment performance, as illustrated across these two years. The College is a perpetual investor, taking a very long-term view of its investment portfolio, and such shorter-term increases and decreases in value are to be expected.

One-year shifts in the gain/loss on investments can obscure the true financial picture. If one compares the line ‘Total income before donations and endowments’ showing £10.33m (2021-22: £9.33m) with the line ‘Total operating expenditure’ showing £14.24m (2021-22: £12.73m), this shows a deficit of £3.91m and one starts to understand clearly that there is a fundamental mismatch between operating income and operating expenditure. The College’s economic model relies on investment gains and philanthropy to bridge that gap. The total return policy that calculates the annual drawdown from the College’s investments is set out in 2.3 above (£3.81m in this year), and it is this regular, annual drawdown that allows the College to carry an operational deficit each year. Hence the bottom line of the SOCIE – ‘Total comprehensive income for the year’ – needs to be interrogated closely for a true understanding of the College’s finances, especially in a year when there is an exceptional ‘Unrealised surplus on the revaluation of fixed assets’ of £15.53m (2021-22: £0) contributing to ‘Total comprehensive income for the year’ of £23.94m (2021-22: -£19.13m). The latter figure could easily be misinterpreted.

Investments are considered in more detail in 7.2 below.

6. CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

The Statement of Comprehensive Income and Expenditure (SOCIE) is not in fact comprehensive in terms of expenditure, since capital expenditure is excluded. It is to the first line of the Balance Sheet, and its related Note 24 (Fixed Assets), that one turns to see the capital expenditure in the year. This shows Additions of £2.07m (2021-22: £985k) including £1.35m on the major refurbishment of two postgraduate houses (Eva Smith and Whitstead); £0.6m on Peile Hall; with the remainder on the Rare Books Library, IT/AV equipment, library books and preparatory work for a new temporary boathouse.

7. BALANCE SHEET AND RESERVES

After the SOCIE, the next two statements in the accounts are the Statement of Changes in Reserves and the Balance Sheet. Starting with the Balance Sheet:

7.1 Fixed assets

Note 24 sets out the movements in this asset class. The capital expenditure in the Additions line has been explained in section 7 above. The Disposals figure of £9k (2021-22: £22k) was for the writingoff of library books.

7.2 Investments

Note 25 shows investments of £124.40m (2021-22: £112.68m), with £111.63m (90%) held in quoted equities (2021-22: £100.64m). The unit value in the investment portfolio (see 2.3 above) at 30 June 2023 was £20.24, an increase of 2.5% on the opening unit value of £19.74.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 2022-23

NEWNHAM COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)

The total investment portfolio (including directly-owned property) was made up follows:

	30 June	30 June
	2023	2022
Equities	69.5%	69.3%
Bonds	2.4%	2.1%
Property	11.2%	11.7%
Private equity	9.9%	10.7%
Absolute return	7.0%	6.2%
Total	100%	100%

As at 30 June 2023, 31% (2022: 30%) of the portfolio was passively managed, and 69% (2022: 70%) was actively managed. The passive part of the portfolio was held in two funds managed by State Street Global Advisors; and the active part of the portfolio was managed by the following: Baillie Gifford (Sustainable Growth Fund), Cambridge University Endowment Fund (CUEF), Partners Capital, Cambridge Associates (Cambridge University Feeder Fund) and Savills (Charity Property Fund).

The total return on the investment portfolio (excluding directly-owned property) was 5.9%.

7.3 Statement of Changes in Reserves

The Balance Sheet and the Statement of Changes in Reserves show total reserves increasing from £235.26m (at 30 June 2022) to £260.47m (at 30 June 2023). This increase is mainly attributed to the unrealised surplus on the revaluation of fixed assets (buildings).

8. CASH FLOW

The fourth and final statement in the accounts is the Cash Flow Statement. This shows a decrease of £2.40m in cash over the year from £5.04m to £2.64m. The cash flow is explained in detail in Notes 34 to 36.

9. RESERVES POLICY

Newnham’s unrestricted reserves at the year end amounted to £1��m (2022: £152.96m) and are represented in the balance sheet by the College’s operational buildings – which are used for academic and residential purposes – and by part of the investment portfolio. Restricted reserves at the year end amounted to £91.32m (2022: £82.30m) and are represented in the balance sheet by endowment funds for a number of educational purposes, as set out in Notes 32 and 33. The College Council believes that reserves on this scale are necessary for the College to meet its charitable objectives and that they provide the stability for the institution to operate in perpetuity. The College Council is mindful to maintain an equitable balance between the interests of current members of the College and future generations (‘intergenerational equity’).

10. PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

As this report is written in the Michaelmas term 2023, a fresh intake of undergraduate and postgraduate students has arrived, and a new term has started.

In recent years, students have been affected not only by Covid-19 but also by industrial action by members of the University & College Union (UCU). This has taken various forms: a marking and

Annual Report & Financial Statements 2022-23

NEWNHAM COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)

assessment boycott has recently been called off, meaning that students (both undergraduate and postgraduate) who were due to graduate in the summer of 2023 will now be able to do so in the autumn. A boycott of the undergraduate supervision system had also been threatened, but was subsequently suspended. However, industrial relations in the sector remain fragile. One positive bit of news has been the improved funding position of the USS pension scheme, which had been the initial cause of the original industrial action: this will result in a combination of improved benefits and lower contribution rates.

Inflation has remained high – but falling – over the past year, and CPI stood at 6.7% in the year to August 2023, down from 10.1% the year before. High inflation affects every member of the College community (and their families), and every aspect of the College’s operations. There are limits to the pay increases the College can offer as an employer, and there are limits to the increases in charges that the College can pass on to its consumers, in particular its students.

Uncertainty over energy costs has affected everyone including organisations such as Newnham College, and although the College is part of an intercollegiate buying consortium which negotiates a mixture of fixed-price contracts and traded contracts, all this achieves is short-term certainty rather than any long-term immunity from significant price increases. The College’s plans to degasify the estate become even more pressing and have continued with another (a third) postgraduate house being degasified and moved on to our air-source heat pumps; however the focus of this strategy is more about reducing our carbon footprint than reducing costs. The real challenge in relation to the degasification strategy is how best to approach the various Champneys buildings from the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, both in terms of reducing the demand (through improved insulation) and changing the heat source (from gas boilers to either air-source or ground-source heat pumps, or indeed exploring other heat sources).

The regulated fee paid by most of our undergraduates has remained at £9,250 per year since 2017, having been £9,000 since 2012. This means that the value has eroded in real terms each year, against a background of rising costs for the university sector. This remains a key risk to the whole sector. From the perspective of students, the maintenance loans available have not kept up with inflation, and do not come close to covering the annual living costs of being a student.

11. FUTURE PLANS

The major ‘Shaping Newnham’s Future’ £25m fundraising campaign during the remainder of Alison Rose’s Principalship continues. The three themes of the campaign are: (i) supporting academic learning and research; (ii) supporting our students; and (iii) achieving carbon net zero.

The programme of refurbishment of the College’s buildings continues, with a focus on energy conservation and energy supply. Three postgraduate houses have now been degasified by switching to air-source heat pumps, and this represents the first step in a long-term programme of energyefficiency projects, which will be supported by funds raised under theme (iii) of the campaign as above. Such refurbishment projects are not solely about energy, however, and are equally about improving the College as an environment in which to live, work and study.

There is a Register of Interests of Trustees. Declarations of interest are made systematically at all Governing Body, Council and Committee meetings. The College’s Trustees during the year ended 30 June 2023 are set out on page 5.

STATEMENT OF INTERNAL CONTROL

The Trustees are responsible for maintaining a sound system of internal control that supports the achievement of policy, aims and objectives while safeguarding the public and other funds and assets for which the Governing Body is responsible, in accordance with the College’s Statutes.

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 against material misstatement or loss.

The system of internal control is designed to identify the principal risks to the achievement of policies, aims and objectives, to evaluate the nature and extent of those risks and to manage them efficiently, effectively and economically. This process was in place for the year ended 30 June 202� and up to the date of approval of the financial statements.

The Trustees are responsible for reviewing the effectiveness of the system of internal control.

The Trustees’ review of the effectiveness of the system of internal control is informed by the work of the various Committees, the Bursar, and the College officers, who have responsibility for the development and maintenance of the internal control framework, and by comments made by the external Auditor in their management letter and other reports.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 2022-23

NEWNHAM COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE COLLEGE COUNCIL AND THE GOVERNING BODY

The College Council is responsible for preparing the financial statements each year in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including the Statement of Recommended Practice ‘Accounting for Further and Higher Education Institutions’, as interpreted by Recommended Cambridge College Accounts. The College’s Statutes and the Statutes and Ordinances of the University of Cambridge require the Council 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 accordance with the College's Statutes , the College Council is responsible for the administration and management of the College's affairs. It is responsible for ensuring that there is an effective system of internal control and that accounting records are properly kept which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the College.

Statute XIX (‘Accounts and Audit’) in the College’s Statutes sets out the Governing Body’s responsibilities in relation to the accounts, including the appointment of the auditors. Clause 5 of Statute XIX states: “A meeting of the Governing Body shall be called to pass the accounts as soon as may be convenient in the Michaelmas Term.”

In causing the financial statements to be prepared, the College Council has ensured that:

suitable accounting policies are selected and applied consistently;
judgements and estimates are made that are reasonable and prudent;
applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.

The College Council is satisfied that the College has adequate resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future. The financial statements are accordingly prepared on a going concern basis.

The College Council has taken reasonable steps to ensure that there are appropriate financial and management controls in place to safeguard the assets of the College and prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities. Any system of internal financial control, however, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss.

The College Council is responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the College’s web site. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE GOVERNING BODY

For the Year Ended 30 June 2023

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Newnham College (the ‘College’) and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 30 June 2023 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Expenditure, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Reserves, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has 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 Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and College’s affairs as at 30 June 2023, and of the group's incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 and the Statutes of the University of Cambridge; and
the contribution due from the College to the University has been correctly computed as advised in the provisional assessment by the University of Cambridge and in accordance with the provisions of Statute G,II, of the University of Cambridge.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and College in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the �� use of the going� concern basis 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 events 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 responsibilities and the responsibilities of the �� with respect to going concern are� described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the report of the Governing Body, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The �� responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE GOVERNING BODY (continued)

��materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the report of the Governing Body; or
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of ��

As explained more fully in the �� responsibilities statement set out on page 20, the� ��responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being�satisfied that t�ey give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the ��determine� is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the��responsible for assessing the group's� and College’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the ��either� intend� to liquidate the group or the College or to cease operations, or ha� no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always 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 economic 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 responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the College and how it operates and considered the risk of the College not complying with the applicable laws and regulations including fraud in particular those that could have a material impact on the financial statements. This included those regulations directly related to the financial statements.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 2022-23

NEWNHAM COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE GOVERNING BODY (continued)

The risks were discussed with the audit team and we remained alert to any indications of noncompliance throughout the audit. We carried out specific procedures 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 disclosures to underlying supporting documentation.
We have made enquiries of management and officers of the College regarding laws and regulations applicable to the organisation.
We reviewed the risk management processes and procedures in place including reporting of risk management to the College Council.
We also assessed management bias in relation to the accounting policies adopted and in determining significant accounting estimates, including the valuation of investments

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk 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 with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/Our-Work/Audit/Audit-and-assurance/Standards-andguidance/Standards-and-guidance-for-auditors/Auditors-responsibilities-for-audit/Description-ofauditors-responsibilities-for-audit.aspx. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the Governing Body, in accordance with College’s statutes, the Statutes of the University of Cambridge and part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the College ��those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Governing Body as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Tennyson House Cambridge Business Park Cambridge CB4 0WZ

Date: 05 December 2023

Annual Report & Financial Statements 2022-23

NEWNHAM COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE

STATEMENT OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation

These 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 (FRS102) and the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP): Accounting for Further and Higher Education issued in 2019.

The Consolidated 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 7.

The College is a public benefit entity and therefore has applied the relevant public benefit requirement of the applicable UK laws 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 and certain operational properties which are included at valuation.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the College and its subsidiary undertakings. Details of the subsidiary undertakings are set out in Note 38. Intra-group balances are eliminated on consolidation. The activities of student societies have not been consolidated.

A separate balance sheet and related notes for the College are not included in the accounts because the subsidiary companies donate their profits to the College each year. The balance sheet for the College alone would not be materially different from the one included in the accounts.

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 Expenditure when the College is entitled to the income and performance-related conditions have been met.

Income received in advance of performance-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 and Endowments

Non-exchange transactions without 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 entitled to the income. Income is retained within restricted reserves until such time that it is utilised in line with such restrictions at which point the income is released to general reserves through a reserve transfer.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 2022-23

NEWNHAM COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE

STATEMENT OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Donations and endowments with restrictions are classified as restricted reserves with additional disclosure provided within the notes to the accounts.

There are four main types of donations and endowments with restrictions:

Restricted donations – the donor has specified that the donation must be used for a particular objective.
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.
Restricted expendable endowments – the donor has specified a particular objective and the College can convert the donated sum into income.
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.

Donations with no restrictions are recorded within the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Expenditure when the College is entitled to the income.

Legacy Income

For legacies, entitlement is taken on a case by case basis as the earlier of the date on which the College is aware that probate has been granted and either: the estate has been finalised, final estate accounts have been received and notification has been made by the executors to the College that a distribution will be made; or when a notification has been made by the executors to the College of an intention to make a distribution prior to the end of the financial year and subsequently that distribution is received from the estate after the year end. Where legacies have been notified to the College, or the College is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

Investment income and change in value of investment assets

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 terms or other restrictions applied to the individual endowment fund.

Total return

A total return policy is applied to the College’s investment in securities. A unitised approach is taken with the investment portfolio, and the units are revalued each quarter taking account of investment performance. Under this total return policy, the average of the unit values at the end of each quarter for the preceding five years is calculated. 3.5% of this average unit value is applied to the number of units held at 1 July, and this is the amount of endowment return transferred shown as income in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and Expenditure. The whole total return is shown in the same statement as the gain/(loss) on investments.

Other income

Other income is received from a range of activities including accommodation, catering, conferences and other services rendered.

Cambridge Bursary Scheme and CBS Top-up Bursary Scheme

In 2022-23, payment of the Cambridge Bursaries to eligible students was 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 contributions from the University of Cambridge and from Trinity College towards this payment. There is also a Top-up Bursary Scheme, also supported by Trinity College.

STATEMENT OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The net payment by the College of £142k is shown within the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Expenditure as follows:

Income (Note 1) £250k (2021-22: £268k) Expenditure (Note 9) £392k (2021-22: £392k)

Foreign currency translation

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies 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.

Tangible fixed assets

Land and buildings

The buildings on the College’s main site have been treated as tangible fixed assets and valued on the basis of their depreciated replacement cost. A valuation on 30 June 2023 was carried out by Gerald Eve LLP. Freehold buildings are depreciated on a straight line basis over their expected useful economic life of 65 years (previously this was 100 years). On revaluation, the expected life of a building is re-set to 65 years. Freehold land is not depreciated and the value of the land comprising the College’s main site is included in the balance sheet.

Where land and buildings are acquired with the aid of specific bequests or donations they are capitalised and depreciated as above. The related benefactions are credited to a deferred capital account and are released to the Income and Expenditure Account over the expected useful economic life of the related asset on a basis consistent with the depreciation policy.

Finance costs which are directly attributable to the construction of buildings are capitalised as part of the cost 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 the balance sheet date. They are not depreciated until they are brought into use.

Maintenance of properties

The cost of routine maintenance is charged to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Expenditure as it is incurred.

Furniture and equipment

Furniture and equipment 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:

Books, equipment, furniture and fittings 5%, 10% and 25% per annum Catering heating and ventilation equipment 5% per annum Major computer software 10% per annum Computer equipment 25% per annum

STATEMENT OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Heritage Assets

The College holds and conserves a number of collections, artefacts and other assets of historical, artistic or scientific interest. Heritage assets acquired before 1 July 1999 have not been capitalised since reliable estimates of cost or value are not available on a cost-benefit basis. Acquisitions since 1 July 1999 have been capitalised at cost or, in the case of donated assets, at expert valuation on receipt, to the extent to which they are material. Heritage assets have not been 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, except for investments in subsidiary undertakings which are stated in the College’s balance sheet at cost and eliminated on consolidation.

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making provision for slowmoving and obsolete items.

Provisions

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.

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 recognised in the balance sheet but are disclosed in the notes.

Financial instruments

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 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 realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Financial assets

Basic financial assets include trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents and investments in commercial paper (i.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

STATEMENT OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in the Consolidated 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 subsidiaries 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 Liabilities

Basic financial liabilities include trade and other payables, bank loans and intergroup 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.

Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down.

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 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 recognised 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 Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Expenditure 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 contracts which remain unsettled at the reporting date 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 contracts held to manage cash flow exposures of forecast transactions denominated in foreign currencies.

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

STATEMENT OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Taxation

The College is a registered charity (number 1135712) 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 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 income or gains are applied to exclusively charitable purposes.

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

Contribution under Statute G,II

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 liability for the year is 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.

Pension schemes

The College participates in the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS) and the Cambridge Colleges Federated Pension Scheme (CCFPS). The schemes are both defined benefit schemes which are externally funded and contracted out of the State Second Pension (S2P). Each fund is valued every three years by professionally qualified independent actuaries.

The assets and liabilities of the CCFPS are held separately. 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 the institution benefits from the employees' services.

The assets of the USS are held in a separate trustee-administered fund. Because of the mutual nature of the scheme, the assets are not attributed to individual institutions and a scheme-wide contribution rate is set. The College 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. As required by Section 28 of FRS 102 ‘Employee benefits’, the College therefore accounts for the scheme as if it were a defined contribution scheme. As a result, the amount charged to the income and expenditure account represents the contributions payable to the scheme. 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 College recognises a liability for the contributions payable that arise from the agreement (to the extent that they relate to the deficit) with related expenses being recognised through the income and expenditure account.

Employment benefits

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

Reserves

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.

STATEMENT OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Critical 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, 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 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 9.

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 Notes 42a and 42b.

Management are satisfied that the Universities Superannuation Scheme meets the definition of a multi-employer scheme and has therefore recognised the discounted fair value of the contractual contributions under the funding plan in 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 on the USS deficit recovery plan agreed after the 2020 actuarial valuation, which defines the deficit payment required as a percentage of future salaries until 2028. These contributions will be reassessed within each triennial valuation of the scheme. The provision is based on management’s estimate of expected future salary inflation, changes in staff numbers and the prevailing rate of discount. Further details are set out in Note 42b. It should be noted, however, that the early indications from the 2023 valuation (not yet completed) are that such a provision will not be necessary in next year’s accounts.

FRS 102 makes the distinction between a group plan and a multi-employer scheme. A group plan consists of a collection of entities under common control typically with a sponsoring employer. A multi-employer scheme is a scheme for entities not under common control and represents (typically) an industry-wide scheme such as the 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 extent that they relate to the deficit) and the resulting expense in profit or loss in accordance with section 28 of FRS 102. The directors are satisfied that the Universities Superannuation Scheme meets the definition of a multi-employer

scheme and has therefore recognised the discounted fair value of the contractual contributions under the recovery plan in existence at the date of approving these financial statements.

Going concern

The College’s Finance Committee and Council have reviewed the budget for 2023-24 and also a fiveyear projection through to 2028-29. At the start of the 2023-24 academic year, student numbers are largely on target, and therefore both fee income and accommodation income are on target. Conference business is back at pre-Covid levels.

As a result of its assessment of the College’s overall financial situation, the College Council has confirmed the College’s ability to continue in operation and on that basis it has adopted the going concern assumption within these financial statements. The College Council confirms the College's ability to continue as a going concern.

38. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

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

The College maintains a register of interests for all College Council members and where any member of the College Council or Governing Body has a material interest in a College matter they are required to declare that fact.

During the year Newnham College received £45,238 (2021-22: £42,819) from the Sir Isaac Newton Trust in relation to fellowship funding and Dr Laurie Friday is a Director of this Trust and a member of the College Council.

During the year no fees or expenses were paid to Fellows in respect of their duties as Trustees.

Fellows are remunerated for teaching, reasearch and other duties within the College. Fellows are billed for any private catering. The Trustees remuneration is overseen by the College Council.

The salaries paid to Trustees (after salary exchange) in the year are summarised in the table below.

From To £0 £10,000 £10,001 £20,000 £20,001 £30,000 £30,001 £40,000 £40,001 £50,000 £50,001 £60,000 £60,001 £70,000 £70,001 £80,000 £80,001 £90,000 £90,001 £100,000 £100,001 £110,000 Total	2022-23 14 6 4 - - - 2 - - 1 1 - Number	2021-22 5 5 - 1 1 - - - - - Number 2

The total Trustee salaries (after salary exchange) were £399k for the year (2021-22: £369k).

The trustees were also paid other benefits (including associated employer National Insurance contributions and employer contributions to pensions) and other taxable benefits which totalled £126k (2021-22: £121k).

There are 31 Colleges, each of which is an independent corporation with its own property and income. Each College publishes its own financial statements in a form specified by the University of Cambridge. The College pays levies to support the activity of the Office of Intercollegiate Services (OIS). The OIS is responsible primarily for arranging support services to the 31 colleges of the Collegiate University(Cambridge).

The College acts as an agent for the collection of fees for the University of Cambridge; for the year ended 30 June 2023 these fees total £9,119k (2021-22: £9,017k). During the year the College paid the University from these fees sums totalling £6,577k (2021-22: £6,494k) and kept £2,542k (2021-22: £2,523k) under the terms of agreements between the University and the Colleges to share fee income with the Colleges in a way that recognises the relative contributions of the University and the Colleges. During the year Newnham College made a contribution under Statute Gil of £22k (2021-22 £63k) into the Colleges Fund. The Colleges Fund is administered by the University of Cambridge on behalf of the Colleges, who make all contributions to and receive all allocations from the Fund. Newnham College administers a Cambridge Bursary Scheme to support undergraduates financially; the University of Cambridge contributed £313k to this scheme (2021-22: £268k). In the course of its charitable activities, Newnham College also pays the University of Cambridge for printing, network and other services. In addition, Newnham College periodically provides conference-related services including accommodation, catering and other services to the organisations and departments belonging to the University of Cambridge on standard third party terms.

42. PENSION SCHEMES

(a) Cambridge Colleges Federated Pension Scheme

The College participates in a multi-employer defined benefit plan, the Cambridge Colleges' Federated Pension Scheme. At 30 June 2023 Newnham College had 3 active members participating in the plan.

The liabilities of the plan have been calculated, as at 30 June 2023, for the purposes of FRS102 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 under FRS102 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:

principal actuarial assumptions at the balance sheet date were as follows:
	2022-23	2021-22
	% p.a.	% p.a.
Discount rate	5.20	3.80
Increase in salaries	3.30	3.25
RPI assumption	3.40*	3.45*
CPI assumption	2.80*	2.75*
Pension increases in payment (RPI Max 5% p.a.)	3.30*	3.30
Pension increases in payment (CPI Max 2.5% p.a.)	2.05*	2.05

For 1 year only, it has been 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_2021 future improvement factors and a long-term rate of future improvement of 1.25% per annum, a standard smoothing factor (7.0) and no allowance for additional improvements (2022: S3PA with CMI_2021 future improvement factors and a long-term future improvement rate of 1.25% per annum, a standard smoothing factor (7.0) and no allowance for addtional improvements). This results in the following life expectancies:

Male aged 65 now has life expectancy of 21.4 years (previously 21.9 years)
Female aged 65 now has life expectancy of 23.9 years (previously 24.3 years)
Male aged 45 now and retiring in 20 years has a life expectancy at 65 of 22.6 years (previously 23.2 years)
Female aged 45 now and retiring in 20 years has a life expectancy at 65 of 25.3 years (previously 25.7 years)

Funding Policy

Actuarial valuations are carried out every three years on behalf of the Management Committee, acting as Trustee of the Scheme, by a qualified independent actuary. The actuarial assumptions underlying the funding valuation are different to those adopted under FRS102.

The last such valuation was as at 31 March 2020. 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 21 May 2021 and are as follows:

Annual contributions of not less that £9,244 per annum payable for the period from 1 July 2021 to 31 March 2027.

These payments are subject to review following the next funding valuation, due as at 31 March 2023.

(b) Universities Superannuation Scheme

The College participates in the Universities Superannuation Scheme (the scheme). The assets of the scheme are held in a separate trustee-administered fund. Because of the mutual nature of the scheme, the assets are not attributed to individual institutions and a scheme-wide contribution rate is set. The College 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. As required by Section 28 of FRS102 "Employee benefits", the College therefore accounts for the scheme as if it were a defined contribution scheme. As a result, the amount charged to the income and expenditure account represents the contributions payable to the scheme. Since the College has entered into an agreement (the Recovery Plan) that determines how each employer within the scheme will fund the overall deficit, the College recognises a liability for the contributions payable that arise from the agreement (to the extent that they relate to the deficit) with re�ated expenses being recognised through the income and� expenditure account.

Deficit recovery liability

The total cost charged to the income and expenditure account for the College and subsidiaries in 2022-23 is £251k (2021-22: £1,786k).

Deficit recovery contributions due within one year for the College are £210k (2021-22: £206k).

The latest available complete actuarial valuation of the Retirement Income Builder is at 31 March 2020 (the valuation date), and was carried out using the projected unit method.

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

The 2020 valuation was the sixth valuation for the scheme under the scheme-specific funding regime introduced by the Pensions Act 2004, which requires schemes to have sufficient and appopriate assets to cover their technical provisions. At the valuation date, the value of the assets of the scheme was £66.5 billion and the value of the scheme's technical provisions was £80.6 billion indicating a shortfall of £14.1 billion and a funding ratio of 83%.

The key financial assumptions used in the 2020 valuation are described below.

CPI assumption Term dependent rates in line with the difference between the Fixed Interest and Index Linked yield curves, less 1.1% p.a. to 2030, reducing linearly by 0.1% p.a. to a long-term difference of 0.1% p.a. from 2040 Pension increases (subject to a floor of CPI assumption plus 0.05% 0%) Discount rate (forward rates) Fixed interest gilt yield curve plus: Pre-retirement: 2.75% p.a. Post-retirement: 1.00% 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 2020 actuarial valuation. The mortality assumptions used in these figures are as follows:

ows:
	2020 valuation
Mortality base table	101% of S2PMA "light" for males and 95% of S3FPA for females
Future improvements to mortality	CMI_2019 with a smoothing parameter of 7.5, an initial addition of 0.5% p.a. and a long- term improvement rate of 1.8% p.a. for males and 1.6% p.a. for females

A new deficit recovery plan was put in place as part of the 2020 valuation, which requires payment of 6.2% of salaries over the period 1 April 2022 until 31 March 2024, at which point the rate will increase to 6.3%. The 2022 deficit recovery liability reflects this plan. The liability figures have been produced using the following assumptions:

Discount rate	3.31%	0.87%
Pensionable salary growth	3.00%	2.70%
