**Wadham College                                 Trustees’ Report** 

**Year ended 31 July 2022** 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

Wadham College was founded by Nicholas and Dorothy Wadham in 1610. The Governing Body of the College comprises the Warden and Fellows. This Body is constituted and regulated in accordance with the College Statutes, the terms of which are enforceable ultimately by the Visitor, the Bishop of Bath and Wells. The College Statutes are as made from time to time by order of Her Majesty in Council in accordance with the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge Act 1923. The Governing Body holds to itself the responsibilities for the ongoing strategic direction of the College, for its administration and for the management of its finances and assets. It meets up to three times each term under the chairmanship of the Warden and is advised by a range of committees, the principal ones being the Academic Policy Committee (to advise on all academic related issues), the Finance Committee (to advise on financial and other general matters), the Investment Committee (to advise on investment issues) and the Risk and Audit Committee (to advise on risk management and the financial audit). 

## **CORPORATE GOVERNANCE** 

Internal controls over all forms of commitment and expenditure continue to be refined to improve efficiency. Processes are in place to ensure that performance is monitored and that appropriate management information is prepared and reviewed regularly. The Governing Body is ultimately responsible for the Risk Assessment and Risk Management of the College. To assist with this process there is a Risk & Audit Committee, attended by two independent external members. This Committee regularly reviews identified risks and mitigation plans, and of the effectiveness of systems in place for the assessment and management of material areas of risk within the College. 

## **PUBLIC BENEFIT** 

The Trustees believe that by putting well over £12mln a year into teaching and research, providing support for students from financially disadvantaged backgrounds, and the maintenance of important historic buildings, the Charity provides substantial public benefit. The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the College’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities. The Trustees remain committed to the aim of providing public benefit in accordance with its founding principles and in line with the Charity Commission’s guidelines. 

## **PLANS FOR THE FUTURE** 

The Trustees have identified three strategic goals to focus on in the medium term. These are making the College a beacon for fair access, creating a supportive learning environment, and creating a hub for world leading research. Practical measures to achieve these goals include increasing access initiatives, providing further student accommodation, fundraising for bursaries and student support, expanding the number of graduate scholarships and securing teaching posts. The Trustees continue to strive to make the College a centre of excellence in both education and research and they have no plans to change this fundamental objective. The Trustees will look to foster closer collaboration with the University in all of its activities. 

## **OBJECTIVES** 

The College, working with the University, provides an education aimed at offering outstanding students from all backgrounds the opportunity to fulfil their maximum potential and seeks to advance world-leading research. The education provided to undergraduates and graduate students is recognised internationally as being of the highest standard. The education provided develops students academically and advances their leadership qualities and inter-personal skills, and prepares them to play full and effective roles in society. In particular, the College provides:

**Wadham College                                 Trustees’ Report** 

**Year ended 31 July 2022** 

- teaching facilities and individual or small-group tutorials, as well as pastoral, administrative and academic support through its undergraduate and graduate advisory 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 through: 

- the payment of stipends and supporting the costs of Fellows and others acting on behalf of the College to carry out research; 

- 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 Tutorial Fellows through sabbatical leave, special leave and “buy-outs” promoting interaction across disciplines, providing facilities and providing grants for attendance at national and international conferences, research trips and research materials; 

- encouraging and sponsoring visits from outstanding academics from other parts of the United Kingdom and abroad; and encouraging the dissemination of research undertaken by members of the College through seminars and lectures and the publication of papers in academic journals or other suitable means. 

The College maintains an extensive Library and Archive (including important special collections), so providing a valuable resource for students and Fellows of the College and others by arrangement. 

The College does not consider that any detriment or harm arises from carrying out the College’s aims, and is not aware of views among others that such detriment or harm might arise. 

The resident members of the College, both students and academic staff, are the primary beneficiaries and are directly engaged in education, learning or research. Beneficiaries also include students and academic staff from other colleges and the University of Oxford more widely, visiting academics from other higher education institutions and alumni of the College who have an opportunity to use its academic facilities, and visiting schoolchildren to attend educational events at the College. The general public are also able to attend various educational activities in the College such as concerts, exhibitions and have access to its gardens and historic buildings. 

The College admits as students those who have the highest potential for benefiting from the education provided by the College and the University. It recruits as academic staff those who are able to contribute most to the academic excellence of the College and the wider community, regardless of their financial, social, religious or ethnic background. 

- There are no geographical restrictions in the College’s objects and students and academic staff of the College are drawn from across the UK and internationally; 

- 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. 

The focus of the College is strongly academic and students need to satisfy high academic entry and on-course requirements.

**Wadham College                                 Trustees’ Report** 

**Year ended 31 July 2022** 

## **PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES DURING THE YEAR** 

## **Fellowship Research and Teaching** 

At the end of July 2022, the College had 69 Fellows who were members of the Governing Body, 28 Emeritus Fellows, 28 Honorary Fellows, and 16 Foundation Fellows. During the 2021-22 academic year, the College paid for teaching cover for around 26 terms of leave (just over 50% of this being sabbatical leave),and employed 38 College Lecturers. 

The research record of the College’s Fellows and Lecturers remains impressive and the following are but a few of the ways in which their achievements were recognised in the academic year: 

- Professor Fiona Powrie was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the Queen’s Birthday Honours for services to medical sciences. 

- Professor Fernando Alday, Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics, was elected to the Royal Society in recognition to his outstanding contribution to science. 

- Dr Natalia Doan, Okinaga JRF in Japanese, was shortlisted for the Royal Historical Society’s Alexander Prize, for the best article or chapter by an early career researcher. 

- Professor Shazia Choudhry, Fellow and Tutor in Law, has been appointed as Specialist Advisor to the Women and Equalities Select Committee for its inquiry into violence against women and girls. 

- Professor Seamus Davis, Senior Research Fellow in Physics, was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. 

The College supports studies at undergraduate and graduate level, and for visiting students, across a wide range of courses, and offers just over 200 graduate and undergraduate degree courses including: Biochemistry; Biology; Chemistry; Classics; Economics and Management; Engineering; English and Joint Schools; History and Joint Schools; History of Art; Human Sciences; Law; Maths and Joint Schools; Medicine; Modern Languages and Joint Schools; Asian and Middle Eastern Studies and Joint Schools; Philosophy, Politics and Economics; Experimental Psychology; and Physics. 

## **Student Numbers** 

The College had 720 students registered as on-course in December 2021: comprising 22% on postgraduate research courses, 11% on postgraduate taught courses, 64% on undergraduate courses, and 3% registered visiting students. Some 26% of Wadham’s undergraduate students on course in 2021-2022 identified themselves as BAME. 

At the start of the 2021-22 academic year, the College welcomed 130 undergraduate students (145 previous year) and 100 graduate students (117 new graduates in the previous year). Of these graduates, 73 were reading for taught degrees and 27 for research degrees. The College also continued to engage in a number of student exchange programmes that enrich its vibrant scholarly community. 

In the admissions round for entry in October 2022 (and deferred entry in 2023) the College received 780 applications from prospective undergraduates. We received 67% of applications from the UK, 5% from applicants based in the EU, and 28% from the rest of the world. Following online interviews in December 2021, offers were made to 144 students, including 2 offers for deferred entry in October 2023. 

The graduate admissions process runs across the academic year, with applications arriving at the College from November through to the following September. In total, Wadham considered 244 applications, slightly less than 2021 (277 applications), and the College’s graduate intake for the 2022-23 academic year is 97.

**Wadham College                                 Trustees’ Report** 

**Year ended 31 July 2022** 

During the 2021-22 academic year Wadham students sat 1,735 separate exams, 516 of which were remote, sat on Inspera as open book assessments. A total of 112 undergraduate students completed their Finals exams with 51 First Class results. Following these examinations, the College awarded prizes to departing students, awarded named College prizes, and nominated continuing students to undergraduate scholarships and exhibitions in recognition of their academic achievement. 

## **Outreach and Access** 

In 2021-22 the College contributed to 136 access events, involving over 4,400 students representing more than 600 schools from the UK.  The academic year saw Wadham able to return to running events in person, alongside some continued online delivery.  This blended approach allowed the College to support a range of schools and adapt to school needs regarding face-toface guidance alongside practical availability. The aim of access events remains the same: raise the aspirations of young people aged 10-18 and provide information, advice and guidance on applications to Oxford and other highly selective universities. 

The College provides financial support to third parties including Target Oxbridge to support their access work. Wadham also supports university led access initiatives such as UNIQ and Opportunity Oxford, and will be in the first cohort of colleges supporting Foundation Oxford. Wadham involves some third parties in design and delivery of sessions to support access programmes such as Causeway Education. The year saw the launch of the Think Like a Lawyer programme in partnership with Linklaters LLP aiming to help 20 Year 12s to progress onto law courses at Oxford and support on-course undergraduates with careers in law. The Wadham Project ran successfully online and as the year progressed, in-person, working with schools and pupils in Bedford, Bedfordshire and Luton. 

In the year ahead, the College’s access approach will be designed assuming face-to-face will be the preference of most schools with online sessions used where practicalities make it more appropriate.  There will be a focus on sustained contact programmes and structured visits to the college for link schools.  The year will see the launch of a partnership with Barclays to help Year 12s access careers in the financial sector; expansion of the Wadham Project into Key Stage 5; and a pilot with the Faculty of Chemistry to support science teaching in Key Stage 3. 

In the undergraduate admissions process (Oct-Dec 2021) we received 85 applications from applicants in composite Band A, indicating the highest levels of socio-economic and educational disadvantage (this represented 16% of all UK-domiciled applicants to the college). We made offers to a total of 65 male applicants and 75 female applicants (out of those who disclosed their gender on their application form). Finally, we received 78 applications and made 26 offers to applicants with a registered disability. 

On the graduate side, the generosity of donors has allowed the College to award 20 scholarships for graduates starting their courses at Wadham from October 2022: 

- The Beit Trust Wadham Scholarships; 

- The Black Academic Futures Scholarship; 

- The David Richards Scholarship in Economics; 

- The David Richards Scholarship in History; 

- The Graduate Scholarship for Ukraine Refugees; 

- The Hackney BCL Scholarship; 

- The Oxford-Hackney BCL Scholarship;

## **Student Financial Support** 

The College and University continue to work hard to provide a range of financial support for those students adversely affected by the fees regime introduced in 2012-13, or who for other reasons seek assistance with the costs of their education. This year the total cost of grants and awards, including scholarships, prizes, bursaries and hardship support, was £960k. Within this, the cost to the College for its share of the Oxford Bursary Scheme administered by the University, and for direct grants to students facing financial hardship totalled £125k for the year. The College now offers high quality and safe accommodation at subsidised rates to all its undergraduates and most of its first-year graduates. Nearly £82k was paid in accommodation support and vacation residence grants to help less well-off undergraduates with living costs. 

## **Sustainability initiatives within the College** 

Wadham feels a responsibility to carry out its activities and actions in an environmentally and socially responsible manner, and wishes to encourage our suppliers and contractors to minimise negative environmental, ethical and social effects associated with the products and services they provide as far as practicable. The College as an educational charity has a primary obligation to carry out its charitable purpose, and while doing so also aspires to continually improve its sustainability performance through short and long-term plans for the benefit of College members and the local, national and global community. 

Projects with notable sustainability improvements completed this year include: 

- Replacement of three gas boilers with electric boilers, allowing removal of one gas supply. 

- Added heat and moisture controls to the Chapel floor heating loop, saving energy and protecting the chapel instruments. 

- Installation of modern double-glazing and modern time-controlled / occupancy regulated energy efficient storage heaters in a set of flats. 

- Experimental installation of a high efficiency Hot Water Cube: a technology that stores heat as chemical energy, and replaces both gas and electric hot water storage tanks. 

- Refurbishing and draft-proofing sash windows on Kings Arms staircase. 

- Refurbished student rooms with smaller sinks to reduce water consumption, some including close-coupled cistern that diverts sink waste water into toilet flush. 

- Continued programme of reduced flow shower heads with time-operated consumption warnings. 

- Replaced servery in refectory, incorporating more efficient heating and cooling units.

## **FUNDRAISING** 

## **Fundraising: Building for the future** 

As socio-economic turbulence and recession became a reality for nations around the world, the global community of Wadham’s alumni and friends have been very generous in their support to the College and its people. Over the past academic year, nearly two thousand alumni have supported Wadham’s greatest needs and educational priorities. At a time when so many are facing their own personal concerns and constraints, we are deeply grateful to everyone who chose to give back to the College. When the Access to Excellence campaign was launched in 2016, the aim of securing £30mln towards its ambitious programme of “life cycle” support for the student journey to Oxford and beyond, was viewed with some apprehension. As the financial year 2021-2022 ended, £49mln had been secured towards these key priorities and 3,799 alumni all over the world had demonstrated their trust in the College by making a gift to the campaign. 

Over the course of the campaign, over £4.5mln has been secured for Access; £10mln towards Student Support and the Wadham Fund, which supports areas of greatest need; £10mln towards graduate scholarships, which has attracted matched funding from the University and a range of faculties and departments, enhancing the scholarships Wadham offers. A generous £17mln has been raised towards the new William Doo Undergraduate Centre and the Dr Lee Shau Kee Building; and £7mln has been secured for academic posts, thereby funding or permanently endowing Fellowships. 

This year, a total of more than £2.5mln was received from Wadham’s generous donors, with more than 21% (1,908) of alumni contributing. Wadham’s third Giving Day, in May 2022, demonstrated the warmth and generosity of the global Wadham community. More than 300 former students raised £164,000 towards areas of greatest need, including student support and hardship funds. As a first, the Giving Day was accompanied by a series of talks by notable alumni, and hosted by students; it was a celebration of the various ways in which alumni chose to give back. We are grateful to our accomplished alumni for sharing their expertise and insights so generously with our students, and for inspiring others to give back to the College. The Wadham Priorities Fund continues to provide vital Unrestricted funding to the College and £842K was received this year. 

Over the past year generous legacies from alumni recognised by our 1610 Society totalled over £1.4mln. With 410 members, Wadham’s 1610 Society continues to be one of the largest legacy societies in Oxford. The 1610 Society Committee has worked hard to inspire more alumni to leave a bequest in their will and we owe them all a debt of gratitude for the key role they play in increasing legacy income for the College. 

It was a special pleasure to welcome hundreds of donors to the long-overdue opening of our new Back Quad buildings – the Dr Lee Shau Kee Building, with the Locke Access Centre, and the William Doo Undergraduate Centre – on 7 October 2022. The Chancellor, Lord Patten of Barnes, paid tribute to Wadham’s pioneering role in paving the way for Oxford’s widening participation successes – which was possible thanks to the support from alumni. The opening was preceded by an Access to Excellence Summit where partners from our regional Access work reflected on lessons learned and how to scale for impact. The Warden shared the impressive statistics; 37,000 pupils have been supported via our Access programmes over the past 7 years and an increasing number of students from our summer school programmes in Engineering, Classics and Modern Languages make successful applications to Oxford. 

These numbers, more than ever, reflect the dedication of our donor community and the impact enabled by the generosity of alumni and friends.

**Wadham College                                 Trustees’ Report** 

**Year ended 31 July 2022** 

## **INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND GOVERNANCE** 

The Trustees have determined that the endowments shall be invested, taking advice from the investment committee, and the investment performance shall be assessed on the basis of total return. The Investment Committee is chaired by the Warden and comprises Fellows, and old members of the college with extensive investment experience. The Committee meets termly and is responsible for advising on the implementation of the investment objectives and strategy as agreed by the Trustees. 

The investment objectives are: 

- to preserve the value of the endowments in real terms, while producing sufficient total return to allow annual withdrawals from the endowments to support the activities of the College, 

- to maximise the total return over the long term, while taking on a level of risk acceptable to the trustees of the College. 

In pursuit of these investment objectives, the College has adopted a draw-down rate of up to 3.5% based on the average value of endowment funds for the preceding three years. The College attempts to mitigate the effects of risk through a strategy of managed diversification, by investing in a range of different asset classes and with geographical distribution. 

The College is an educational charity that relies upon investment income to achieve its charitable purpose, and the trustees are under a legal obligation to have primary regard to this in the management of its financial affairs. However, the College feels wider responsibilities to invest ethically and avoid profiting from unethical activities. It therefore does not seek to maximise investment income irrespective of the nature of its investments but to invest in accordance with its ethical standards. 

In line with University policy, the College will not make direct investments in companies that earn a significant proportion of their revenue from illegal or controversial arms manufacturing, coal or oil sands, or tobacco. Like most reputable investors, the College makes indirect investments in managed funds and trackers that may include companies that do not satisfy its ethical criteria for direct investment. In such cases, it will seek information about the extent to which funds are invested in areas of ethical concern (for example, fossil fuel extraction) and take this information into account in its portfolio allocations. When making such investments, it will seek to include only assets or funds whose investment policies are compatible with its ethical criteria, for instance in applying materiality thresholds to investments in areas of concern, or actively managing them within a framework of meaningful engagement to raise ethical standards, and it will engage with its active fund managers to promote more ethical practices. 

The determination of ethical criteria will be made and periodically (e.g. biennially) reviewed by Governing Body on advice from Investment Committee and having considered the views of other interested parties (for example alumni and students) on this matter. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Context** 

The College operates within a Higher Education funding regime in which its income from course fees does not cover the full cost of providing the education and student support, and student accommodation charges do not cover the full cost of providing the College facilities. The tutorial system at Oxford is widely respected, but intensive teaching in small groups comes at a cost. The College effectively subsidises all aspects of our provision to students. To fund this, the College relies on drawing down on the endowment, raising money from conferences and events, and receiving generous donations. This year the College’s operating expenditure (ignoring £1.8mln

**Year ended 31 July 2022** 

increase in the pension fund deficit provision) was £13.8mln, while the income from students was £7.0mln. We relied on the endowment to contribute £3.9mln, and events income and donations for the rest. This year-on-year operating deficit is illustrated below: 

To allow us to draw down 3.5% of the endowment investments each year, but maintain their value in the long term, we aim for the endowment investments to provide a return of 3.5% over inflation. This year we did not achieve this aim. The value of the Endowment Funds was £2.8mln lower this year than last year, with the value in realterms being further eroded by inflation. 

We are very grateful for the generosity of our donors who contribute to closing the funding gap of the college, and enable the college to offer financial support to those of our students who need it most. 

## **Review of this year’s Performance** 


The audited accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and republic of Ireland using the Statement of Recommended Practice “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” Charities SORP (FRS 102). The accounts include all operational and investment income, and donations together with expenditure for both Wadham College and its subsidiary and affiliate companies. 

The financial performance was much less affected by the emergency measures stemming from the COVID-19 coronavirus, though some accumulated costs and losses continue to have an impact. 

Total Income was reduced at £13.6mln (2021: £14.4mln), but this saw an increase in revenue from teaching, research and residential £7.8mln (2021: £6.5mln), including a welcome return of some of the Conferences and Events revenue. Donations totalling £2.5mln (2021 £4.9) were very generous, with increases in Unrestricted and Endowment, but Restricted donations to support the building projects have mostly now been received. The college received income of £3.1mln (2021: £2.6mln) from the endowment investments, but recognised a draw-down of £3.9mln under the Total Return Policy. 

On a consolidated basis, the total operating expenditure for the year was £15.6mln (2021: £12.6), though this includes a significant additional provision of £1.8mln towards underfunding of the pension funds, depreciation of £1.7mln, and the annual £1.0mln interest payment for the £35mln bonds. This resulted in a deficit in net income before gains of £2.0mln (2021: £1.8mln). The investment portfolio, having delivered income as above, showed a net loss of £0.1mln (2021: gains of £14.3mln), but ended the year £5.0mln higher (2021: £17.1mln) after including £5.1mln (2021:£3.5mln) of reinvestments. The consolidated Net Income is reported as deficit £2.1mln (2021: income £16.1mln). As a result, £156.8mln of funds were carried forward at the end of this year (2021: £158.9mln). The decision was taken to transfer funds from the General Benefaction Fund within the Endowment, spread in annual tranches, and this year the sum of £2.9mln was transferred into Unrestricted. There were no other recognised gains and losses. 

Capital expenditure from Unrestricted of £0.4mln (2021: £3.2mln) was made in respect of some retained payments on the building projects, and this combined with Depreciation of £1.6mln (2021: £1.5mln) resulted in a decrease in Tangible Assets on the Balance Sheet to £75.2mln (2021: £76.5mln). Cash levels were reduced to £4.0mln (2021: £8.4mln).

**Wadham College                                 Trustees’ Report** 

**Year ended 31 July 2022** 

Under the Charities SORP, the total net assets include a liability provision relating to the pension scheme. This year the provision was increased to £3.5mln (2021 £1.7mln), including a postBalance Sheet item addressed in Note 32 of last year’s Financial Statements. The substantial year-to-year differences are a reflection of the required computation method for revaluation of the pension funds and the assumptions of future performance being made. Negotiations on the funding of the USS pension deficit have resulted in large fluctuations in the pension recovery plan provisions, and may continue to do so in the future. 

The College recognises its long-term liability for repayment of Bonds at maturity: £30mln in 2046 and £5mln in 2048. In respect of this College plans to build up a sinking fund. The College has not yet been able to set aside any funds for this purpose. 

## **Investment Performance** 

The investment environment was not strong this year, being weighed down by a combination of the Russian war in Ukraine, the economic consequences of Covid-19 measures, poor market performance in the far east and emerging markets, rising inflation in many economics, together with political and economic uncertainty in the UK. Again, the value of having a geographically diversified portfolio was seen, with stronger performance in North America partly mitigating weaker performance elsewhere. The investments provide a relatively stable income, this year of £3.1mln (2021: £2.6mln). £5.1mln of cash that had been held as a buffer in recent years, plus a legacy to the endowment was gradually returned to a range of Blackrock “ESG” tracker funds screened or positively weighted for performance on Environmental, Social and Governance factors, and in the Oxford Endowment Fund. 

The value of investments at the year-end was £114.9mln (2021: £110.0mln), which is £4.9mln above last year. The Total Return (capital appreciation plus income) was 2.5% (2021: 18.7%). For a number of years, performance has been compared with the FTSE All-Share Index (for Total Return in GBP) which achieved 5.5% for the same period. The investments of the College at the year-end comprised £39.0 (2021: £36.2mln) in the Oxford Endowment Fund, £52.0mln (2021: £50.7mln) in tracker funds, and £23.9mln (2021: £23.0mln) in directly held Property. It should be note that the reported property value is based on desktop valuations. 

The specific funds held by the College at the year-end, were: 

- Oxford Endowment Fund;

The College’s direct property holdings comprise farms in Essex, Lincolnshire, Derbyshire and land on the Isle of Wight (currently used for a Solar Farm, and grazing); a small number of commercial properties; and houses used either for staff, students, Fellows or rented commercially. 

The Trustees are satisfied with the financial and investment performance for the year. 

## **POLICY FOR HOLDING CASH AND RESERVES** 

The policy is to maintain a combination of cash and free reserves, so that together these holdings will enable the College to continue to operate effectively and meet its short-term financial obligations in the event of unexpected revenue shortfall. This would provide a temporary buffer to

**Year ended 31 July 2022** 

allow the College to operate normally for a period of time. Due to the financial uncertainty caused by COVID-19, cash holdings may continue to be held at a somewhat elevated level. 

The technical “free reserves” at the year-end, under the revised FRS 102 standard (prior to providing for the pension fund liability), being Unrestricted Funds of £42.1mln less Tangible Fixed Assets of £75.2mln, amounted to deficit £33.2mln before adjusting for borrowing (2021: deficit £37.4mln), and £1.8mln after adjusting for £35.0mln of borrowing (2021: deficit £2.4mln). The target is to hold Free Reserves and/or cash or deposits corresponding to at least three to six months of operating expenditure (excluding non-cash items). 

## **APPOINTMENT AND TRAINING OF TRUSTEES** 

Appointment to the College’s Governing Body is on the basis that those elected are eligible and willing to act as Charity Trustees. The majority of new members, who are normally academics, hold joint posts with the University of Oxford. A transparent and professional selection process is followed for all appointments. An induction program setting out the responsibilities and duties of being a Charity Trustee is provided to all new appointees. 

## **TRUSTEES AND COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP** 

All Trustees are members of the Governing Body, which is advised by a range of committees. The principal ones being Finance Committee (FC), Academic Policy Committee (APC), Risk & Audit Committee (RA), Investment Committee (IC), Development Committee (DC) and Remuneration Committee (RC). The list below provides the names and committee memberships of the Trustees.

## **Trustee Remuneration Disclosure** 

The Trustees of Wadham College, namely the Warden and Governing Body Fellows of the College, receive no remuneration for their acting as Trustees. However, their position on Governing Body is by virtue of their being Warden and Fellows. Fellows are generally involved in teaching or research, or together with the Warden are officeholders of the College, and are therefore employed in an academic or professional capacity by the College and/or the University, and receive salaries and allowances under contracts of employment. The College has adopted the University of Oxford’s pay grades and an independent Remuneration Committee advises on all issues of pay and allowances for Fellows. The majority of Tutorial Fellows’ teaching posts are joint appointments with the University. The Trustees have agreed to use the framework set out in Note 22 to the accounts for their disclosure of remuneration. 

The Trustees of the College fall into the following classes of Fellowships: Professorial, Official, Senior Research, Junior Research and those by Special Election. The College’s administration is delegated to College Officers; this category includes the Finance Bursar, Domestic Bursar, Senior Tutor and Development Director, who are all Official Fellows. The Warden, who is the College’s Head of House and has administrative duties, is also a Trustee, but does not hold a Fellowship. 

Certain classes of Fellowships are provided with a Housing Allowance (disclosed within the salary figures in Note 22) or can elect to live rent free in College. All Fellows may eat in College free of charge, as can all other employees who are entitled to meals while at work. 

Some Trustees, in their role as Fellow, are entitled to additional allowances for work carried out as a part-time College Officer. Such posts include the Sub-Warden, Dean, Welfare Dean, Tutor for Graduates, Tutor for Undergraduates, Tutor for Access, Director of Music, Fellow Librarian and Keeper of the Gardens. These amounts are included within the remuneration in Note 22. The total remuneration and taxable benefits to Trustees in their other roles was £2.1mln (2021: £2.1mln). 

A total of 76 Trustees served for at least part of the financial year, and at the end of the year 72 Trustees were in place. Of the total, 60 Trustees received remuneration under a contract of employment for work for the College and 16 Trustees received no remuneration. 

No Fellow claimed any expenses for work as a Trustee. 

## **Related party Transactions with Trustees** 

Certain Trustees, as a result of their employment as a Fellow, have been eligible to apply to join the College’s Joint Equity Housing Scheme or to apply for a housing loan. Both initiatives are provided by the College in order to assist with the purchase of suitable accommodation in the Oxford area. Housing assistance is not an automatic right. Each application is looked at on its own merits by an independent committee who assess the benefits to the College in providing housing assistance. There were no changes to participation in each scheme, as summarised in Note 30.

**Wadham College                                 Trustees’ Report** 

**Year ended 31 July 2022** 

## **Statement of Accounting and Reporting Responsibilities** 

The Governing Body, who are Trustees for the purposes of Charity Law, is responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Governing Body to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Governing Body has elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable 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 the group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the group for that period. 

- In preparing these financial statements, the Governing Body is required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the group will continue in business. 

The Governing Body are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the College’s and group’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the College and the group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the College and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

Approved on behalf of the Trustees on 23[rd] November 2022

**Wadham College                                 Trustees’ Report** 

**Year ended 31 July 2022** 

## **Independent auditor’s report to the members of the Governing Body of Wadham College** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Wadham College (the “Charity”) for the year ended 31 July 2022 which comprise the Statement of Accounting Policies, the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated and College Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements. 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 and charity’s affairs as at 31 July 2022 and of the group’s 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. 

## **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 Charity 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 Members of the Governing Body’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 relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Members of the Governing Body with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

## **Other information** 

The Members of the Governing Body are responsible for the other information. 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. 

16 



**Wadham College                                 Trustees’ Report** 

**Year ended 31 July 2022** 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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 Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- we have not obtained all the information and explanations necessary for the purposes of our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of the Members of the Governing Body** 

As explained more fully in the statement of Accounting and Reporting Responsibilities, set out on page 14, the Members of the Governing Body 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 they 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 Members of the Governing Body are responsible for assessing the Charity’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 Members of the Governing Body 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 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act 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. 

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 

17 



**Wadham College                                 Trustees’ Report** 

**Year ended 31 July 2022** 

misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows: 

- the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; 

- we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through discussions with Members of the Governing Body and other management, and from our knowledge and experience of the client’s sector; 

- we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the charity, including Charities Act 2011, Office for Students and Oxford University requirements, taxation legislation, data protection, employment and pensions, planning and health and safety legislation; 

- we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and, where relevant, inspecting legal correspondence; and 

- identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. 

We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by: 

- making enquiries of Members of Governing Body and other management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and 

- considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. 

- To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: 

- performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; 

- tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; 

- assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and 

- investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. 

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: 

- agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; 

- reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; 

- enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; 

- if considered necessary, reviewing correspondence with relevant regulators and the company’s legal advisors. 

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the Members of Governing Body and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. 

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. 

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.

**Wadham College           Statement of Accounting Policies        Year ended 31 July 2022** 

## **STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of fixed asset investments at market rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. The statements are in accordance with applicable accounting standards and the Statement of Recommended Practice “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (the Charities SORP FRS 102) issued in 2014. 

The financial statements consolidate the accounts of the College and its subsidiaries, Wadham College Services Ltd and Wadham College Design & Build Ltd, on a line by line basis. The accounts of the affiliated student bodies (the Student Union and the Middle Common Room) have not been consolidated because the College does not control these activities. 

The College has an investment in an associated undertaking, Boathouse Consortium Limited. This investment is included in the consolidated financial statements using equity accounting. 

The Accounting Policies remain unchanged from the prior year and are set out below: 

## **Income and endowments** 

Donations, legacies and other forms of voluntary income are accounted for when receivable. Student fee income and charges are accounted for on an accruals basis. The College accounts for its investment income on a total return basis, which allows the College to invest permanent endowments to maximise total return and to make available an appropriate portion of the total return for expenditure each year. Until this power is exercised the total return shall be an ‘unapplied total return’ and remain as part of the permanent endowment. The College has adopted a 3.5% total return rate, on a three year rolling average. 

## **Expenditure** 

Expenditure classified as charitable activities included only direct costs associated with those activities. All other administrative and overhead costs incurred by the College which are not directly attributable either to fund generation or governance are allocated on the basis of staff involvement in those areas. 

## **Classification of funds** 

The College’s endowed funds are capital funds where normally only the income arising may be applied, in certain cases for restricted purposes. These endowments are either permanent or expendable, depending on whether the trustees have authority to spend the capital. 

The College’s restricted funds have arisen from restrictions specified by the donors. Both income and capital can be used for restricted purposes. 

The College’s unrestricted funds represent accumulated income from the College’s activities and other sources that are available for the general purposes of the College. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the following periods: 

Freehold buildings - 50 years Building improvements  - 50 years Equipment -   5 years Freehold land is not depreciated. 

The cost of major renovation projects which increase the service potential of buildings is capitalised and depreciated over applicable periods. Certain historic College buildings are included at a net value of £1 as, due to their age, their historic cost would be difficult to ascertain and they would also now be fully depreciated. 

20 



**Wadham College           Statement of Accounting Policies        Year ended 31 July 2022** 

The College operates a “de minimis” limit of £7.5k for capitalisation of expenditure on building improvements and for equipment.  Works of art and other valuable artefacts that can be regarded as inalienable are not included in the financial statements. 

## **Stocks** 

Stocks are stated at the lower of their cost and net realisable value. Where necessary, provision is made for obsolete, slow moving and defective stocks. 

## **Maintenance of premises** 

The cost of routine corrective maintenance is charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period it is incurred. 

## **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 obligation. 

## **Pension Fund provisions & Critical accounting judgements** 

The College participates in the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS) and the University of Oxford Staff Pension Scheme (OSPS). These schemes are hybrid pension schemes, providing defined benefits (for members), as well as defined contribution benefits. The assets of the schemes are each held in a separate trustee-administered fund. Because of the mutual nature of the schemes, the assets 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 scheme on a consistent and reasonable basis. As required by Section 28 of FRS 102 “Employee benefits”, the College therefore accounts for the schemes as if they were wholly defined contribution schemes. As a result, the amount reflected in the Statement of Financial Activities represents the contributions payable to each scheme. Since the College has entered into agreements (the Recovery Plans) that determine how each employer within the schemes will fund the overall deficit, the college recognises a liability for the contributions payable that arise from the agreements (to the extent that they relate to the deficit) and therefore an expense is recognised. 

USS notes: FRS 102 requires that accounting judgements which are considered to be critical by those charged with governance are explained in more detail as to why the judgement has been applied. The disclosure below may be useful where the treatment of the scheme as a multiemployer scheme and adopting defined contribution accounting is deemed to be critical. 

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 an industry-wide scheme such as USS or one for employers in the same locality such as OSPS. 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 trustees are satisfied that USS and OSPS both meet the definition of a multi-employer scheme and has therefore recognised the discounted fair value of the contractual contributions under the recovery plans in existence at the date of approving the financial statements. 

## **Foreign currencies** 

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate of exchange ruling at the dates of the transaction.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at year end rates of exchange or, where there are related forward foreign exchange contracts, at contract rates. The resultant exchange differences are included in the Statement of Financial Activities for the year. 

21 



**Wadham College           Statement of Accounting Policies        Year ended 31 July 2022** 

## **Taxation status** 

As a charity within the meaning of the Charities Act 2011, the College is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Part 11 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 is subject to VAT on its non-charitable activities. 

## **College Contribution Scheme** 

The College is liable to be assessed for Contribution under the provisions of Statute XV of the University of Oxford. The Contribution Fund is used to make grants and loans to colleges on the basis of need.  Contribution is calculated annually in accordance with regulations made by the University’s Council and is accounted for in the period to which it relates. 

## **Investments** 

Investments are stated at market value at the Balance Sheet date. The Statement of Financial Activities shows net investment gains and losses arising from revaluation of the investment portfolio and disposals throughout the year. 

## **Recognition of liabilities accounting policy** 

Liabilities are recognised when there is a legal and constructive obligation committing the College to the expenditure.
