FINANCIAL REVIEW
Summa
The dominant feature of th8 year was the £3.4m fall in th8 value of our 8ndowm8nt from £94.2m Sn July 2022
to £90.9m. Thi5 is the third y88r in succession ihat the value of our endowm8nt has fallen Ilt was £95m In July
20211. Unfavourable macro-e¢onomi¢ conditions meant Ihal thore was insufficient underlying growth in the
end¢)wmenl invested with OUEM lo fund the diawdown wo needed lo college operations in the year-
the total return drawdown for the year was £3.65m ant1 the net Investment l¢)ss on the endowment was
£4.2m.
Over811 nel 8ssels fell by £5.1m12Yol to £228m, of which £1.7m was in unrestricted funds and £3.4m was in
endowment funds. Wllh fixèd asset d6pTeciation of £2.4m in the year the underlying unTeslri¢ted surplus wa5
£0.7m- largely as expected and sufficient to help fund capltal expendSture and continue to build the sinking
fund to repay the privato bond. Reslricled funds fell sllghtly to £2.6m, despSle Peggy Rlmmer's £0.9m
donation to sel up a Sancluory Scholarship ftjnd. reflecting a 18mporory increase in the use of student support
funds to minirnize the impact of high inflation on our studgnts, living costs in college.
Income from students lor ttjllion fees and rent was up by £0.4m {6%), signrfi¢antly below Inffl8tion as the
ollegg subsidE8d rent and catering costs. Net Iradlng Income was up by £0.3m131 OAI with conlerence and
commercial income completing its recovery from Covld. Donalions andlogacies were up by £1.1m, largely
because of Peggy Rimm8rfs donatbn hSghl'ghted above.
Ovgr811 costs incre8Sgd by just £0.1m as the college worked hard lo contain any further inflationary increase
In Its costs, anxlous to hold down Ihe drawdo￿ from the endowment as much as possible, given its recent
lack of growih.
The only significant movement in the balan￿ sh88t was the r8duction on Ihe valu8 of oihor investmgnts,
re￿8¢t￿ng the drawdown from the endowment.

The college's reserve5 poliw is to ¢stsblish, and theroaftor malnlain sufficlgnt free reserves lo enable11
to meet tts Short-le￿ financial oblwJations in Ihe event of an unexpected revenue shortfall and to allow
the college lo be managed effiaontly and to provide a tr4Jff8r that WOLÈld ensur8 uninlorrupted services.
Rebuilding the free reserves after a perlod of sustsined capltal inve8lment has been a priority over recent
years but th9se have been signfficanlly reduced by Ihe impact of CovlJ 19. Free reserves now stsnd at
£I0.4lm12022: £Om). Increasing these free reserves will be a priority as the college recovers over the next
f&w yèars with tha anticipated reduclion of the pension provisK>n1£2.Oml next year, as the USS pension

## **SOMERVILLE COLLEGE Auditor's Report Year ended 31 July 2023** 

**compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items.** 

**In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the charity's and the group's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charity and the group for fraud. The laws and regulations we considered in this context for the UK operations were General Data Protection Regulation, Health and Safety and Taxation legislation.** 

**Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.** 

**We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be within the recognition of income and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of journals, reviewing accounting estimates for biases, sample testing of income transactions to supporting documentation and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.** 

**Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.** 

**Use of our report** 

**This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees 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 charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.**

14. P•nsion costs
The College parti¢ipates in Universities Super8nnuation Scheme IUSSI. a hybrid pension scherne.
provlijing definèd benefits based on salarfes as well 8s benefits based on contribullons. and a group
personal pension scheme operated by Aviva Ifornierly Friends Lifel-
Thg ossets of the USS scheme are held In a separate trustee-administered fvnd. Because of the mutual
nalure of the scheme. the assets applicable lo Ihe defined benefit membership are not attributed to
indlvidual Colleges and scheme-wldg contrfbuoon rat&s are set. The College Is therefore exposed to
actuarial risks associated wth other Universities. and Colleges, ernployees and is unable to Ident￿ Its
share of the undetying as8818 and liabiliti8s of the deflned benefft scheme on a consistent and
reasonable basls.
As required by Section 28 of FRS 102°Employee benefits.. the College accounts for the scheme as if it
were a wholly defined contribution scheme and contributions to these schemes are recognised as
liability and an expense in the period in whlch the salarfes lo ¥thSch Ihe contribullons relate are payable.
The College has entered into an agreement for the USS scheme (the Recovery Plans) that detennlne
how each 8mploy8r within the scheme will fund the overall scheme def￿r(. A liability Is recognised at
eath balance sheet date for the discounted value of the expected future contrlbulion payments under
these past service deficit funding agreements, with changes to Ihèse liabilities being recognised as en
expens& in the ￿riOdS in which the changes occur.
