SOMERVILLE COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year anded 31 July 2024
' |
The Members of the Governing Body present their Annuat Report for the year ended 31 July 2024 under the Charities Act 2011 together with the audited financial statements for the year.
REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION
Somerville College in the University of Oxford, which is known as Somerville College, (“the College”) is a tax exempt educational institution governed by a Charter and Statutes. The College was founded under the title of Somerville Hall in 1879 by a committee chaired by Dr Percival as a non-denominational hall of residence for women and in 1881 was incorporated as an association not intended for profit under the Companies Acts of 1862 and 1867. The title of College was adopted in 1894.
The College registered with the Charities Commission on 22nd December 2010 (reg. number 1139440), The names of all members of the Governing Body at the date of this report and of those in office during the year, together with details of the senior staff and advisers of the College, are given on pages2 to 4.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing documents
The governing document of the College is the 1951 Charter and Statutes of Somerville College, Oxford. In 1926 the College was incorporated by Royal Charter as “The Principal and Council of Somerville College”. In 1951 its statutes were amended to restrict membership of the Governing Body to the Principal and Fellows. In 1959, when it was admitted with the other Women’s Societies as a full College of the University, its corporate designation became “The Principal and Fellows of Somerville College in the University of Oxford”. The Special Statute of 1961 amended Paragraph (c) of Article 3 of the Charter concerming the investment objectives. In 1992 the Charter and Statutes were changed to enable the admission of men at both senior and junior level.
Governing Body
The Governing Body is constituted and regulated in accordance with the College Statutes, the terms of which are enforceable ultimately by the Visitor, who Is the Chancellor of the University of Oxford. The Governing Body is self-appointing, and has such powers as are conferred on it by ite Charter and, subject thereto and to the Statutes, has the entire direction and management of the affairs of College.
The Governing Body appoints the Principal, Fellows, Senior Tutor, Tutors, Lecturers, Librarian, Treasurer and such administrative and other Officers as the Governing Body thinks necessary from time to time. The Governing Body appoints Committees and delegates to them such powers as It thinks fit.
The Governing Body determines the on-going strategic direction of the College and regulates the administration and the management of its finances and assets. It meets regularly under the chairmanship of the Principal and is advised by nine committees.
Recrultment and training of Members of the Governing Body
New members of the Governing Body are normally recruited through a joint appointment process with the University of Oxford in the case of academics which includes open advertisement of the posts and a professional selection and appointment process. In the case of posts funded solely by the College, recruitment is also through open advertisement of the post followed by a professional selection and appointment process including external representatives as appropriate. New members of the Governing Body are inducted into the workings of the College, including Governing Body policy and procedures, through meetings with the Principal, the Senior Tutor and the Treasurer and the provision of a comprehensive set of reference documents.
Members of the Governing Bady attend external trustee training and information courses as appropriate to keep them informed on current issues in the sector and on regulatory requirements.

Remuneration of Members of the Governing Body and Senior College Staff
Members of the Governing Body who are primarily Fellows are teaching and research employees of the College or University and receive no remuneration or benefits from their trusteeship of the College. Those trustees that are also employed officers of the College either have their remuneration set by the College’s Remuneration Committee (The Principal, The Treasurer, The Development Director) or in line with the College's established paygrade system (The Senior Tutor, The Librarian). The majority of members of Remuneration Committee are either Professorial Fellows not in receipt of remuneration from the College or independent external appointments. Where possible, remuneration is set in line with that awarded to the University’s academic staff, or external market forces where appropriate.
College Officers, the key management team, are set out on page 4.
Organisational management

« Development Committee
Responsibility for recommendations on development and fundraising strategy and activities, liaison with the Development Board, which consists of external members,
« IT Gommittee
Responsibility for developing recommendations on IT strategy, service levels and IT projects and provision of guidance and assistance to the IT function within the College.
The Governing Body is also supported by additional committees, including Library, Nominations and Remuneration.
The day-to-day running of the College is delegated to the Principal, the Senior Tutor, and the Treasurer. They form a management team together with the Librarian and the Director of Development.
Group structure and relationships
The College administers many special trusts, as detailed in Notes 18 to 19 to the financial statements.
The College also has two wholly owned non-charitable subsidiaries: Somerville College Trading Limited, and Somerville College Developments Limited both of whose profits ara donated to the College under the Gifi Aid Scheme. The trading activities of Somervilla Collage Trading Limited primarily comprise revenue from letting of the College facilities when not in use by the College. Somerville Collage Developments Limited is the vehicle through which the college undertakes major capital projects. The subsidiaries’ aims, objectives and achievements are covered in the relevant sections of this report. The Margaret Thatcher Scholarship Trust, which is a company limited by guarantee is also part of the Group. The Trust has one member, Somerville Collage.
The College is part of the collegiate Liniversity of Oxford. Material interdependencies between the University and the College arise as a cansequence of this relationship.
Risk management
The College is engaged in risk assessment on an on-going basis. Policies and procedures within the College are reviewed by the Finance, HR & Equality Committee, chaired by the Principal. Financial and investment risks are assessed and monitored by the Finance, HR & Equality Committee. In addition, the Treasurer, and department heads meet regularly to review operational and health and safety issues. Training courses and other forms of career development are available, when requested, to members of staff to enhance their skills in risk-related areas.
The Governing Body, who have ultimate responsibility for managing any risks faced by the Coilege, have given consideration to the major risks to which the college and its subsidiaries are exposed and have concluded that adequate systems are in place to manage these risks. It is recognised that systems can provide only reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been managed.
The four principal risks identified in the college's risk register are:
¢ = =©The impact of the UK leaving the European Union on students, academics and funding. The decision to leave the EU will have a significant adverse impact on research funding and on the college's ability to attract EU studenis and EU academics. The only mitigation available is to lobby government.

I
SOMERVILLE COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2024

e The potential impact of the Teaching Excellence Framework on college funding and its academic reputation. The inappropriate application of the TEF may lead to the reputation of the college's teaching being damaged, which in turns may lead to reduced funding. Possible mitigation is te fobby government in the hope of influencing the application of the TEF.
« The escalating housing costs in Oxford act as a barrier to high calibre academics coming to college which in tum risks damaging academic achievement and reputation. Mitigations available are the joint equity scheme available to Fellows, the availability of some rental properties and paying housing allowance to Fellows.
« The impact of reduced government funding on teaching and research. Reduced government funding risks eroding the quality of teaching and research and risks damaging Oxford and Somerville's ability to compete internationally for the best academics and the best students. The best mitigation available to us is to lobby centraf government through the University.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Charitable Objects and Aims
The College's Objects are:
« To provide for women and men who are members of the University of Oxford the protection and training of an Academic House and, with that object, to carry on the work of the old Association (known as Somerville Hall} with such modifications and changes as may from time to time appear desirable.
¢ Todo all such other things as are incidental or conducive to advancing education, learning and research in Oxford and elsewhere.
The Governing Body is mindful of the long-standing requirement to provide public benefit and of the disclosure requirements of the Charities Act 2011. In this connection the Governing Body has monitored closely the general and supp/emental guidance produced by the Charity Commission, in particular its public benefit guidance on advancement of education and on fee-charging.
The college’s aims for the public benefit are:
i. Te advance education, learning and research, in particular by providing, in conjunction with the University of Oxford, an education for 449 undergraduate and 273 graduate students.

e teaching facilities and individual or small-group teaching, together with academic, pastoral and administrative support;
-
« {fT and other administrative support and welfare services, including the availability of the Junior
-
Deans to assist every member of the College; and
-
e« = social, cultural, musical, recreational and sporting facilities to enable students to realise as
-
much as possible of their academic and personal potential whilst studying at the College.

« official Fellowships, Career Development Fellowships, and Junior and Senior Research Fellowships to outstanding academics, to enable them to develop their research work and disseminate their research in the public domain; and
8
SOMERVILLE COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2024
| | | | |
e facilities and grants to assist with the pursuit of research, including grants for attendance at national and international academic conferences and assistance with the costs of research trips and research materials.
The aims set for the college's subsidiary is to help finance the achievement of the college’s aims as above.
Activities and objectives of the College
The college's principal activity, as specified in the college's objects is to provide for members of the University of Oxford the protection and training of an academic house.
In 2023.24, the College had 416 undergraduates {excluding clinical and graduate-entry medics and students on suspension) and 329 graduates (including clinical and graduate-entry medics and excluding DPhil students who had submitted their theses) and admitted students in the following subjects: Biochemistry; Biological Sciences; Chemistry; Classics (including Joint Schools); Classical Archaeology & Ancient History; Computer Science; Engineering; English (including Joint Schools); Psychology, Philosophy and Linguistics; History (including Joint Schools); Law; Linguistics; Mathematics; Medicine; Modern Languages (including Joint Schools); Music, Philosophy, Politics & Economics; and Physics. [t should be noted that the undergraduate population is close to the long-term average following to the additional admissions in 2020 {due to the pandemic) and additional admissions in 2021 deferred from the previous year.
In orderto assist undergraduates entitled to Student Support, the College provides, through a scheme operated in common with the University and other Colleges, bursary support for those of limited financial means. For the academic year 2023.24, the number of awards made was 75; 53 of the awards were for £3k or more; and the average value of the awards was £3.9k, with a total of £289k being disbursed in the year. The scheme is approved by the Office of Fair Access and provides benefits at a substantially higher level than the minimum OFFA requirement.
To support the costs of graduate students, the Collage provides substantial financial support. This includes scholarships to fund fees and living costs, ‘top-up’ funding to fill funding shortfalis in students’ funding packages and a grant scheme to assist with the purchase of books and equipment, attendance at conferences and travel grants. The total amount expended by the College to graduate students in 2023.24 for this purpose was £592k.
The College also makes awards for academic development and has various scholarships and prizes available to reward academic excellence. During 2023.24 the College awarded £242k for this purpose.
In addition to its other programmes, the College operates a hardship scheme for students in financial hardship and provides access to hardship schemes operated by the University. For the academic year 2023.24 the College awarded £24k in discretionary loans and grants and provided £86k of free vacation residence.
A programme to encourage legacies to be made to the College is in place and annual fundraising campaigns include the provision of support for students suffering financial hardship.
Public benefit
The college remains committed to the aim of providing public benefit in accordance with its founding principles.
The college admits as students those who have the highest potential to benefit from the education provided by the college and the university and recruits as academic staff those who are able io contribute most to the academic excellence of the college. in the case of both students and academic staff, recruitment is regardless of financial, social, religious or ethnic background, age or gender:

SOMERVILLE COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2024
e there are no geographical restrictions to those who may benefit from the college’s aims and objects. Students and academic staff of the college are drawn from across the UK and intemationally;
-
« there are no age restrictions in the college's objects but students of the college are
-
predominantly between 18 and 24 years old; and « there are no religious restrictions in the college’s objects and members of the college have a
-
wide variety of faith traditions or none.
To raise educational aspiration and attract outstanding applicants who might not otherwise have considered applying to the college, the college operates an extensive outreach programme as part of university-wide initiatives to widen access. This programme is under the responsibility of the Senior Tutor and includes an extensive programme of visits by schools to the college, open days, admissions symposia for teachers as well as visits to schools and guidance and information on the college website for prospective applicants.
The college maintains an extensive library so providing a valuable resource for students and Fellows of the college. The college makes its library avaliable to members of other colleges and the University of Oxford more widely, external scholars and researchers, as well as local children from maintained and other schools as part of educational visits.
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in Section 17 (5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Academic
The number of first choice undergraduate applications specifically to Somerville was 554. This was ‘topped up’ by allocation of open applications to make an initial applicant poot of 708 in 2023.24, slightly down on the year before and comprising 609 direct applications and 99 open applications assigned to Somerville.
Having Interviewed online since 2020 as a series of ad hoc decisions in response to each year's circumstances, the collegiate university decided to hold admissions Interviews online as a matter of policy for the time being and subject to review after five years. This was a farniliar process and the operation ran generally smoothly, although some individual difficulties were encountered, as was normal and would have been the case (but with the nature of problems being different) for in-person interviews. The ultimate success of the operation was thanks, as ever, to the hard work of tutors and Academic Office staff.
The 2023.24 admissions cycle marked a further return to something approaching normality following the upheaval of the pandemic years. Following the significant over-recruitment in the summer of 2020 and the legacy of deferred candidates and very cautious approach to open offers in the cycle that followed, 136 offers (including open offers) were made in the 2023.24 admissions cycle, which is approaching the numbers typical of years before 2020,
All colleges subsidise the cost of teaching at Oxford and it will remain the case that only about half of the true costs are met from fees. With the level of UK fees being capped in absolute terms and costs rising substantially, the proportion of the costs of teaching that are covered by UK fees is likely to decline further. The shortfall is covered by overseas fees (which can be raised at the discretion of the University), endowment income, income from commercial activities and income from philanthropy (donations and jegacies}. At Somerville almost 25% of our UK domiciled undergraduates receive additional financial assistance. In the 2023.24 admissions cycle, 73.4% of UK domiciled undergraduate applicants come from state schools, which is essentially the same as the figure for the University (72.8%). 73.5% of UK offer holders were state-educated at the point of application (University: 69.3%).

SOMERVILLE COLLEGE
Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2024
During 2023.24 the university undertook the recruitment of the second ever cohort of students for its new ‘Astrophoria Foundation Year’ and saw the first cohort achieve their final awards. Somerville’s two students from the first cohort both achieved ihe requirements to progress to year one of their respective degrees, Somerville also admitted two new Foundation Year students. It is perhaps inevitable that some candidates for the Foundation Year, selected to have come fram backgrounds of particular disadvantage where that disadvantage has significantly adversely affected their educational prospects that many candidates did not satisfy their offer conditions but Somerville’s candidates comfortably exceeded their offer conditions and will take up their places In October 2024.
Somerville undertook a full programme of access activities in 2023.24 Our Access team of Hannah Pack and Eren Slate was unchanged and they threw themselves Into activities including particularly roadshows at our still relatively new link regions of Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight with great energy and enthusiasm. Towards the end of the academic year we said goodbye to Eren, who left is to become a school teacher through the Teach First initiative.
The Oxford India Centre for Sustainable Development (OICSD) continues to develop and enhance its reputation as a forum for research focused on sustainable development in India, particularly of an interdisciplinary nature. in 2023.24, the OICSD celebrated its ten year anniversary with a characteristically engaging programme of events and talks. Professor Radhika Khosla continued as Research Director researching Into the impact of increasing demand for cooling systems as the planet heats up for which she and her colleagues had won major funding. Dr Siddharth Arora, continued as Programme Director. As ever, we are grateful to many distinguished academics from various fields who have contributed to the events and sense of community that are highlights of the OICSD.
The total number of OICSD scholars in the year was 21 with some of our research students having to extend iheir studies due to disruption arising from various factors.
Margaret Thatcher Scholarship Trust (MTST}
In 2023.24 we welcomed seven new Thatcher Scholars: three undergraduates (of which one is an International student) and four postgraduates, The number is reduced from the previous year as we seek to cut our cloth according to our means.
We had some extraordinary successes among our Thatcher Scholars, with one winning the Dyson Sustainability Award, and another winning the 2nd de Paravicini Prize and gaining the eighth highest First Class Degree in Classics across the whole University.
The Skills Hub continues to provide invaluable training and support for all Somervillian students and for the first time this year formed part of the freshers’ week programme for our incoming undergraduates. We will monitor the effect of this on performance over the coming years.
During the course of the year, we have raised a further £100,000 p.a. for the next six years to support undergraduate scholarships. This will fund eight further undergraduate scholars starting In 2024.25.
In 2023.24 Somerville hosted twenty one Junior Research Fellows, spanning an enormous range of academic disciplines, with high quality applicants and great competition for places. The presence of such a large, diverse and talented population of researchers contributes significantly to the Somerville College community and enables these early career researchers to build Interdisciplinary tinks. The range of studies has been immense, from subjects such as Medicine, Classics, Maths, Linguistics, Economics, Philosophy and others, with top rank quality being the only thing they all have in common.
The college continues to have a diverse Fellowship which is active in teaching and research. There is insufficient room to summarise the research and recognition of all our Fellows but some highlights, in no particular order, are given here. Two of our Senior Research Fellows were awarded medals by the Royal Society. Professor Sir Marc Feldmann the Royal Medal in recognition of his work on autoimmune diseases. Profassor Tony Bell was awarded the Rumford Medal in recognition of his contribution to theoretical developments in cosmic ray acceleration and origins. Julie Dickson, Tutorial Fellow in Law,
11
:
SOMERVILLE COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2024
won the 2024 Alice Tay Book Prize for excellence in Legal theory for her book ‘Elucidating Law’. Robin Klemm works on metabolism and diabetes, In 2023.24 he was awarded a grant from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. Professor Karen Margrethe Nielsen, our Tutorial Fellow in Ancient Philosophy, completed the second year of a Leverhulme Major Research Fellowship in 2023.24, working on Aristotle's Theory of Decision and its Legacy.
Somerville Fellows also continued to play a key role within the collegiate university although we look forward to two of them returning to college teaching duties. Professor Benjamin Thompson completed an extended term as Associate Head (Education) of the Humanities Division and embarked on a year’s sabbatical to allow him to catch up on research. Professor Almut Suerbaum completed her sabbatical after guiding the Faculty of Medieval and Modem Languages through very challenging times as Chair of the Faculty. Professor Suerbaum continues to contribute to the Faculty's activities by leading on their Athena Swan work.
College Officers play key roles on various Conference of Colleges committees, including ICT Steering Committee, the committees of Estates Bursars, College Librarians and many more.
Providing a world-class education for our students, as well as for the generation of students to come after them, remains our highest priority. The current financial pressures on young people with regard to the higher education which will be vital in preparing them to make their way in the world today are well documented. It continues to be our firm resolution is that no student with the academic ability to study at Somerville should be unable to take up or continue with their place due to financial pressures.
Fundraising, alumni relations and communications
Although the wider economic situation continues to be challenging, the kind support of many Somervillians and friends has been steadfast. We have had another successful fundraising year, with over £5 million in cash received, against last year's £3.3 million.
An exceptionally generous bequest from the late Dr Christian Carritt has amounted to £3,050,000, with more funds to be distributed in 2024.25. This will support music, history and medicine at Somerville.
The Liz Cooke Fellowship, founded in memory of our colleague who died last year, has enjoyed support from across the Somervillian community. It is with sense of gratitude that we can now announce that the named Fellowship in History will allow for the study of the subject at Somerville in perpetuity. The Fellowship benefited from the Carritt Bequest, but was also funded by many others: over £50,000 was raised in a crowdfunding campaign and over £315,000 was donated to the College directly.
We have continued to award Sanctuary Scholarships to refugee students and academics at risk. There have been eight Sanctuary Scholars at Somerville in 2023.24. A new scholarship aimed at Indian students from marginalised communities, the Savitribai Phule Scholarship, has been added to the range Offered at the Oxford India Centre for Sustainable Development (OICSD), We have received donations from fourteen legators, totalling nearly £3.8 million. In addition to the Carritt Bequest, there have been other significant gifts: one of nearly £260,000, one of £220,000, and another one of £175,000.
This year, over £740,000 came in for our Annual Fund {now known as the Somerville Fund), including nearly £336,000 In unrestricted donations. The telethon tock place in late September, at its regular time, and brought in nearly £180,000 in new funds raised.
As before, we have had a very busy year of events, with some of those taking place in person, some held entirely online, and some, in hybrid format. The second Cedar Circle event took shape of a webinar and was well attended by our regular donors. The Family Day attracted over four hundred visitors of all ages, while the second meeting of the Penrose Society welcomed our legators. Other highlights included the celebration of Somerville as a College of Sanctuary, a Golden Reunion, a Literary Lunch, alumni events in Oxford, Cambridge, London — and internationally, in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and Hoang Kong. The series of carol concerts (held both in College and at Temple Church in London) was a great success. The Somerville Choir also went on tour to India, to mark the 10th anniversary of OICSD.

Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2024
SOMERVILLE COLLEGE
This year, the Communications team have worked closely with the wider Development team on the RISE campaign. This has involved the production and editing of the main campaign film, as well as of the six shorter videos dedicated to the four pillars of RISE, with commentary from the Principal and the Treasurer. Comm’s have alse collaborated with the Campaign Director to develop the RISE micrasite, creating a compelling online hub for the campaign. RISE merchandise, including bookmarks and banners, has been designed to support the forthcoming launch.
The most recent issue of Somerville Magazine focused on the themes of climate change, sanctuary, and the ethical use of Al. The Magazine also celebrated 30 years of Somerville going mixed. The Communications team have been working to transform the College Report into a primarily digital publication, which will result in significant financial savings and be more sustainable. A new digital publication platform has been identified, and we hope its use makes the reading experience more interactive and accessible. Finally, training in film and desktop publishing, recently undertaken by the Communications team, should create a more autonomous comm’s unit.
We continue to adhere to GDPR and ethical fundraising, and are undertaking a review of our guidance on accepting donations. We have not received any compiaints about our fundraising activities during the period covered by this report.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Summary
The dominant feature of the year was the growth in the value of our endowment after a few years when it was eroded by the macro-economic climate, The endowment grew by £8m from £91m to £99m, of which £3m derived from a very generous fegacy from Dr Christian Carritt, which will be used to fund history teaching, music provision and graduate medical scholarships.
Unrestricted expenditure on charitable activities was offset by the release of the £2m provision against future employer USS pension contributions as a recovery in the scheme’s investments moved the actuarial valuation from a significant deficit to a significant surplus in the year.
Pressure on costs eased during the year producing a £0.7m surplus on unrestricted funds (before investment gains) and a £0.3m deficit on restricted funds, as we continue to use unspent restricted funds to subsides our core operations, Overall net assets increased by £10m from £228m to £238m.

The College's reserves policy is to establish, and thereafter maintain sufficient free reserves to enable it to meet its short-term financial obligations in the event of an unexpected revenue shortfall.
Our free reserves were significantly eroded by the Impact of Covid 19 in 2020.21 and 2021.22. Free reserves now stand at £(0.4)m (2023: £(0.4m)}).
In addition to this the college has designated unrestricted reserves of £133m to cover the value of its fixed assets, plus £0.5m to fund anticipated future capital expenditure. There is also a designated fund representing a sinking fund to repay the private bonds when they fall due. At July 2024 this stood at £3.7m (2023: £3.3m).

SOMERVILLE COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2024
Investment policy, objectives and performance
The College's investment objectives are to balance current and future beneficiary needs by:
-
¢ maintaining (at least) the value of the investments in real terms;
-
producing a consistent and sustainable amount to support expenditure; and
-
¢ delivering these objectives within acceptable levels of risk.
Investment risk is hedged by splitting our investments between OUEM and Newton. The College operates a tofal return policy on its investments with QUEM and Newton.
The investment strategy, policy and performance are monitored by the Finance Committee. At the year end, the Group's long-term investments, combining the securities, property and other investmenis, totalled £121m, an increase from £105m in 2023, in part because of a reallocation of off-site residential properties from tangible assets to investment properties.
FUTURE PLANS
The College’s future plans as agreed by the Governing Body are set out in the College Strategic Development Plan. The core elements of this are:
-
« To balance more effectively the complementary but often contradictory demands of teaching and research so that Fellows’ research time is better resourced, and Fellows have the space to deliver high quality teaching,
-
« To refocus resources on the Fellowship and to reposition it ai the centre of the College so that it becomes the expression and embodiment of the College’s commitment to academic excellence and ambition,
-
¢ Toraise the academic profile of our undergraduate and graduate students and to strengthen, through evolution and reinforcement, the culture of academic excellence and high expectation,
-
e To promote access and diversity across all areas of College activity and to continue to work to include the excluded, and
-
« Toimprove the support we offer to our graduate students.
Specific development plans have been agreed for the separate departments within the College to ensure that the College continues to enhance its ability to providea first-class education.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities
Year anded 31 July 2024
SOMERVILLE COLLEGE
STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING RESPONSIBILITIES
The Governing Body is responsible for preparing the Report of the Governing Body and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Charity law requires the Governing Body to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards) and applicable law.
Under charity law the Governing Body must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the College and of its net incoming or outgoing resources for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Governing Body is required to:
-
« select the most suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
e make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
e state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the College will continue to operate.
The College has cash resources and has no further requirement for external funding in excess of current facilities. The Trustees have a high expectation that the College has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In making their assessment the Trustees have considered the impact on the business of Covid-19 including the ability of the College to continue to operate as a College of the University of Oxford. They continue to believe the going concem basis of accounting appropriate in preparing the annual financial statements.
The Governing Body is responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the College’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the College and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the College and ensuring their proper application under charity law and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

SOMERVILLE COLLEGE Auditor's Report Year ended 31 July 2024
|
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Somerville College (‘the charity’) and its subsidiaries (‘the group’) for the year ended 31 July 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, Consolidated and Charity Balance Sheets, 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 the parent charity's affairs as at 31 July 2024 and of the group’s income and receipt of endowments and expenditure, for the year then ended:
-
« have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
« have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
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 financtal statements section of our report. We are independent of the group 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 hava 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 trustee's 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 refating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's or the group'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 trustees with respect to going concern are dascribed in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon, 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 responsibillty is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the 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
16
SOMERVILLE COLLEGE
Auditor's Report Year ended 31 July 2024
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 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees’ report; or sufficient and proper accounting records have not been kept by the parent charity; 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 trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 15, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees 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 trustees are responsible for assessing the group and the parent charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concer basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have 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 the Acts and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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.
Details of the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations are set out below.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements from irregularities, whether due to fraud or error, and discussed these between our audit team members. We then designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
17
SOMERVILLE COLLEGE Auditor's Report Year ended 31 July 2024
| |
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charity and group operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Charities Act 2011 together with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). We assessed the required 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 cperate 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 regulaticorresp on sdence, to enquiryif any. ofthe Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal
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 maierial misstatements in the financial statemenis, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed noncompliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statamenis, 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 contrals. 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 fo 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.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and on the historical cost basis, except for the measurement of investments and certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value with movements in value reported within the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA). The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below and have been applied consistently throughout the year.

Voluntary income received without restriction as to utilization or for the general purpose of the College is credited io unrestricted funds.
Voluntary income which is subject to specific wishes of the donor is credited to the relevant restricted fund or, where the donation, grant or legacy is required to be held as capital, to the endowment funds.

SOMERVILLE COLLEGE
Statement of Accounting Policies Yoar ended 31 July 2024
6. Expenditure
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Indirect expenditure is apportioned to expenditure categories based on the estimated amouni attributable to that activity in the year, either by reference to staff time or the use made of the underlying assets, as appropriate. Irrecoverable VAT is included with the item of expenditure to which it relates.
Grants awarded are expensed as soon as they become legal or operational commitments.
Governance costs comprise the costs of complying with constitutional and statutory requirernents.
intra-group sales and charges between the College and its subsidiaries are excluded from trading income and expenditure,
7. Leases
Renials payable under operating leases are charged in the SOFA on a straight line basis over the relevant lease terms.
The cost of the assets held under finance leases is included within fixed assets and depreciation is charged in accordance with the accounting policy for each class of asset concerned. The corresponding capital obligations under these leases are shown as liabilities. The finance charge element of rentals is charged to the Statement of Financial Activities and classified within finance costs as incurred.
8. Tangible fixed assets
Expenditure on the acquisition, construction or enhancement of land and bulldings costing more than £5,000 together with expenditure on equipment costing more than £5,000 is capitalised and carried in the balance sheet at hisiorical cost.
Other expenditure on equipment incurred in the normal day-to-day running of the College and its subsidiaries is charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as incurred.
9. Depreciation
Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of all relevant tangible fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, in equal annual instalments over thelr expected useful economic lives as follows:
Freehold properties, including major extensions 100 years Leasehold properties 100 years or period of lease if shorter Building improvements 10 - 30 years Equipment 3-10 years
Freehold land is not depreciated. The costs of maintenance are charged in the Statement of Financial Activities in the period in which it is incurred.
- Investments
Investment properties are valued as individual investments at their market values as at the balance sheet date. Purchases and sales of investment properties are recognised on exchange of contracts.
Listed investments are valued at their mid-market values as at the balance sheet date. Investments such as hedge funds and private equity funds which have no readily identiflable market value are included at the most recent valuations from their respective managers. Gains and losses arising on the investments are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities and are allocated to the appropriate Fund according to the “ownership” of the underlying assets.
20
SOMERVILLE COLLEGE Statement of Accounting Policies Year ended 31 July 2024
|
11. Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, cost being the purchase price on a first in, first out basis.
12. Foreign currencies
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies during the year are translated at prevalling rates of exchange at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at rates applying at the Balance Sheet date or, where there are related forward foreign exchange contracts, at the contract rates. The resulting exchange differences are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities.
13. Fund accounting
The total funds of the College and its subsidiaries are allocated to unrestricted, restricted or endowment funds based on the origins of the funds and the terms set by the donors. Endowment funds are further sub-divided into permanent and expendable.
Unrestricted funds can be used in furtherance of the objects of the College at the discretion of the Goveming Body. The Governing Body may decide that part of the unrestricted funds shall be used in future for a specific purpose and this will be accounted for by transfers to appropriate designated funds.
Restricted funds comprise gifts, legacies and grants where the donors have earmarked funds for specific purposes. They consist of either gifts where the donor has specified that both the capital and any income arising must be used for the purposes given or the income on gifts where the donor has required that the capital be maintained and the income used for specific purposes.
Permanent endowment funds arise where donors specify that the funds should be retained as capital for the permanent benefit of the College. Any income arising from the capital will be accounted for as unrestricted funds unless the donor has placed restricted the use of that income, in which case it will be accounted for as a restricted fund.
Expendable endowment funds are similar to permanent endowment in that they have been given, or the College has determined based on the circumstances that they have been given, for the long term benefit of the College. However, the Governing Body may at their discretion determine to spend all or pari of the capital.
- Pension costs
The College participates in Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS), a hybrid pension scheme, providing defined benefits based on salaries as well as benefits based on contributions, and a group personal pension scheme operated by Aviva (formerly Friends Life).
The assets of the USS scheme are held in a separate trustee-administered fund. Because of the nature of the scheme, the assets applicable to the defined benefit membership are not attributed to individual Colleges and scheme-wide contribution rates are set. The College is therefore exposed to actuarial risks associated with other Universities’ and Colleges’ employees and is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the defined benefit scheme on a consistent and reasonable basis,
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 a liability and an expense in the period in which the salaries to which the contributions relate are payable. The College has entered into an agreement for the USS scheme (the Recovery Plans) that determine how each employer within the scheme will fund the overall scheme deficit. A liability is recognised at each balance sheet date for the discounted value of the expected future contribution payments under these past service deficit funding agreaments, with changes to these liabilities being recognised as an expense in the periods in which the changes occur.
