WOLFSON COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2021

The Members of the Governing Body present their Annual Report for the year ended 31 July 2021 under the Charities Act 2011 together with the audited financial statements for the year.

REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION

Wolfson College in the University of Oxford is a chartered charitable corporation. It was founded by decree of the Congregation of the University of Oxford on 26 July 1966.

The College registered with the Charity Commission on 14 April 2011, registered number 1141446.

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 pages 2 to 4.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing Documents

The College is governed by its Royal Charter and Statutes dated 15 January 1981.

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 High Steward of the University of Oxford. The Governing Body is self-appointing.

New members of the Governing Body are elected on the basis of academic standing, position within the University of Oxford and suitability as decided by the Governing Body.

The Governing Body determines the ongoing strategic direction of the College and regulates its administration and the management of its finances and assets. It meets regularly under the chairmanship of the President and is advised by eleven main committees.

Recruitment and Training of Members of the Governing Body

New Members of the Governing Body are recruited on the basis of a consideration of suitability by the Fellowships and Membership Committee, formal interview and election at a meeting of the full Governing Body. They are inducted into the workings of the College, including Governing Body policies and procedures, by means of an introductory meeting with the President and provision of the Charity Commission “Essential Trustee” guide, which makes them aware of their responsibilities as trustees. Members of the Governing Body are able to attend external trustee training and information courses to keep them informed about current issues in the sector and regulatory requirements.

Remuneration of Members of the Governing Body and Senior College Staff

Members of the Governing Body, except for some College Officers, are Fellows with teaching and research employment at the University and receive a small academic stipend to support their academic work for the College. Those trustees that are also employees of the College receive remuneration for their work as employees of the College that is set based on the advice of the College’s Remuneration and Personnel Committee, members of which include Fellows independent of the Governing Body and who are not in receipt of remuneration from the College. Where possible, remuneration is set in line with that awarded to the University’s academic staff, and in 2016, the Governing Body agreed that all future cost of living pay increases for Fellows and staff would be set in line with those awarded by the University.

WOLFSON COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2021

Organisational Management

The Governing Body convenes at least six times a year. The President or Vicegerent can call additional meetings of the Governing Body. The eleven main Committees referred to above carry out the work of developing the Governing Body’s policies and monitoring their implementation. The day-to-day running of the College is delegated to the College Officers, who attend all meetings of the Governing Body and who are members of the main Committees as indicated above. The actions of the Governing Body are monitored by a separate Conflict of Interest Committee, comprising College members who are not Governing Body Fellows or Trustees.

Structure and Relationships

The College also administers a number of special trusts, as shown in the Note 17 to the financial statements. The College is part of the collegiate University of Oxford. Material interdependencies between the University and the College arise as a consequence of this relationship.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Charitable Objects and Aims

According to its Statutes “The College is incorporated for the furtherance of learning and education and to be a College wherein men and women may carry out advanced study or research”. To fulfil these objectives and aims, the College sets specific objectives concerning the admission of students, the number of scholarships awarded, and the educational provision it offers and supports.

The Governing Body has considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in keeping with its objects, the College’s aims and activities for the public benefit are set out below.

Public Benefit

The College provides, in conjunction with the University of Oxford, academic and pastoral support for approximately 800 graduate students that is recognised internationally as being of the highest standard. This support develops students academically and advances their leadership qualities and communication skills, and so prepares them to play full and effective roles in society. In particular, the College provides:

The College advances research through:

WOLFSON COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2021

The College maintains an extensive library and art collection, mostly acquired or loaned through benefaction, including important special collections, so providing a valuable resource for: students and Fellows of the College; members of other Colleges and the University of Oxford more widely; external scholars and researchers; and the public through regular exhibitions.

Strategy for Achieving Aims

The College’s strategy for achieving its aims is to: protect and grow the existing endowment; and to maximise the return from endowment to invest in supporting students and fellows in their endeavours.

The College has an Alumni Relations and Development Office, which seeks to raise funds for the College, which combined with the income generated from the endowment, provides funds to invest in its charitable aims, including the maintenance and creation of scholarships and bursaries and the funding of events and activities both to support students and fellows pastorally as well as academically.

The College seeks to maintain and develop its first-class environment and facilities, and to recruit and support the very best staff, who are committed to the College’s charitable aims.

The College assesses its success through the number of students that it is able to support, the success that they achieve in their endeavours, and the feedback that the College receives from students and researchers about the facilities and pastoral support that they receive whilst at the College. The College also measures its success in protecting and growing the endowment through its investment policies.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Admission of Students

The College annual admission recruitment target has been around 220 for a number of years. During 2020/21, the Governing Body elected to increase the target by 75 students for a five year period.

In October 2021, 281 full-time students and 38 part-time students joined the College. This equates to 300 fulltime equivalent students, slightly exceeding the increased target.

Key statistics were as follows:

Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2021

WOLFSON COLLEGE

Scholarships and Financial Provision

44% of the 2021 new student cohort have received full or partial grant funding. 39 students from the overall student body have a Wolfson scholarship and the College is continuing to strive to increase further the number of scholarships offered. In addition to scholarships, the College also provides Travel Grants for attending conferences or undertaking fieldwork, and support for students who need to undertake language courses for their studies. The College also made grants to a number of students in financial hardship due to unforeseeable circumstances relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Support during COVID-19 pandemic

The pandemic has had a continuing impact on its students, staff and members. The College has remained operational throughout the crisis and students have continued living on site. Many students come from overseas and are in Oxford for several years; a significant number have been unable to leave the UK for some time. As well as establishing a COVID-19 hardship fund, the College has provided additional practical support for students who have needed to isolate due to illness or travel restrictions. Academic and Welfare support have continued to be available to all students, albeit remotely, throughout the pandemic.

Research Clusters, Lectures and Seminars

As part of its goal to further education and learning, the College has a number of research clusters which promote the study of specific subjects in an interdisciplinary forum. These include:

The Research Clusters are very active in holding events, including lectures, seminars and conferences. Many also offer scholarships and research grants to Wolfson members undertaking projects in relevant areas.

The College provides funding for members who wish to hold academic events at Wolfson. To meet the requirements of the government’s PREVENT strategy, the College have agreed policies concerning free speech, in the context of lectures and other academic events, and also a monitoring process to ensure that no proposed speaker or event is associated with a proscribed terrorist organisation.

The College is an open and inclusive environment, and many of its academic events are open to the general public. Academic activities have continued to attract broad audiences from within the College, University and beyond. The College considers such high-profile events to be an important part of its outreach and community activities.

WOLFSON COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2021

Diversity

In 2020 the College set itself new aspirations for the diversity of its Fellowship, staff and students. The following table shows the results from a Fellows’ survey and other data collated in October 2021:

Fellows* Staff Students
Gender (self-identified)
Male 60% 40% 51%
Female 35% 60% 49%
Ethnicity (self-identified)
White 72% 87% 56%
Other 28% 10% 38%

* Governing Body, Supernumerary, Research and Junior Research Fellows were surveyed.

NB some survey respondents preferred not to say, hence not all percentages add up to 100.

Alumni Relations and Development

The Alumni Relations and Development department engages with the College’s alumni and friends in seeking donations in support of scholarships, fellowships and research projects at the College. It holds events for alumni in Oxford, London, overseas and online, and communicates with alumni via emails, telephone calls, and publications, such as Wolfson: Plans & Prospects magazine and the College Record . In 2020/21 the College had further success in fundraising for hardship support for students in financial need because of the COVID-19 crisis; this provided a springboard for the relaunch and renaming of the College’s regular giving programme, as the Wolfson 1966 Fund (named to reflect the year the College was founded).

The College was the beneficiary of some major legacies and donations in 2020/21. These have enabled the creation of an endowed scholarship researching clinical depression; funded further scholarships in Physics, Quantum Computing and History; established scholarships for students from Macau to study in Oxford; and supported academic research and exchange in Biochemistry, Assyriology, and within the Oxford Centre for Life-Writing. The College is enormously grateful for the generosity of its alumni and friends.

Decarbonisation

In the College’s 2020 Estate Strategy, decarbonisation was made the top priority, and an energy audit and decarbonisation plan were commissioned. Decarbonising Wolfson’s estate is a complex and costly challenge given its unique architecture: original 50-year old gas heating system and massive elevations of single glazing.

In June 2021, the College announced a ground-breaking project to cut 75% of carbon emissions on its main estate by March 2022, supported by a £5 million grant. The College plans to follow this up with further work to achieve a net zero estate by 2030 at the latest.

The College’s Governing Body has committed from reserves a further £3 million to create an £8 million project that will see the main site of the College changed from gas to electric heat pumps, and for the replacement of the majority (around 75%) of the windows with ultra-thin, triple glazing and associated insulation by the end of March 2022.

WOLFSON COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2021

FINANCIAL REVIEW

As shown in the Statement of Financial Activities, total incoming resources for the year amounted to £10.5 million. This amount included donations and legacies amounting to £3.4 million, and investment income amounting to £1.4 million, as well as College operating income. Of the donations and legacies, £1.0 million related to restricted purpose endowment gifts where the capital is required to be preserved rather than spent, and £1.2 million represented the first tranche of the £5 million grant for decarbonation (see page 9).

Expenditure of £7.4 million was primarily in direct support of the running of the College in line with the objectives and activities outlined above, but also included fundraising costs, trading costs and investment management costs, all in relation to the generation of income to fund College activities.

A pension deficit provision of £1.0 million is included on the Balance Sheet. This figure represents the present value of the estimated future funding deficit in relation to the College’s participation in the University Superannuation Scheme (£0.43 million) and the Oxford Staff Pension Scheme (£0.54 million). Further details of the impact of the provision on expenditure are set out in the “Provision” and “Pension charge for the year” sections at the foot of Note 21 to the financial statements.

Gains on investments amounted to £10.5 million, a 17.4% increase on total opening investment value for the year.

COVID-19 pandemic

The College has taken many actions over recent years to improve financial resilience. These actions included investment management decisions, a cautious investment drawdown policy, and improved budget and cost control. Whilst there was a significant impact in the year of the Covid-19 pandemic, the College was in a good position to withstand the financial challenges arising. An exceptionally high student intake in October 2020 provided a significant boost to income for 2020/21, which has helped mitigate loss of income in areas such as residential activities, and conferences and events. The pandemic also impacted substantially on the College’s activities and some staff were unable to work due to the pandemic. As a result, the College was able to benefit from the Government’s Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, with all salaries topped up to 100% by the College.

Reserves Policy

The College’s reserves policy is: to maintain sufficient free reserves to enable it to meet its short-term financial obligations in the event of an unexpected revenue shortfall; to allow the College to be managed efficiently; and to provide a buffer that would ensure uninterrupted services.

Total funds of the College at the year-end amounted to £95.2 million (2020: £81.6 million). This total includes endowment capital of £60.4 million and unspent restricted income funds of £3.6 million. Free reserves at the year-end amounted to £6.9 million, representing: retained unrestricted income reserves excluding an amount of £18.8 million for the book value of tangible fixed assets; funds designated at the year-end amounting to £6.4 million; and the pension reserve negative fund amounting to £1.0 million. The majority of free reserves are currently invested with the College’s endowment funds to earn income to support the running costs of the College.

Designated reserves at the year-end included £2.8 million as capital to support scholarships and £0.5 million of Common Room funds.

WOLFSON COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2021

Risk Management

The College engages in risk assessment on an ongoing basis. When it is not able to address risk issues using internal resources, the College takes advice from external experts. The relevant College Committees review policies and procedures within the College. The Finance and Investment Committees assess financial and investment risks. Training courses and other forms of career development are available to members of staff to enhance their skills in risk-related areas.

The Governing Body, which has ultimate responsibility for managing any risks faced by the College, has given consideration to the major risks to which the College is exposed and has 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. Principal risks and uncertainties faced by the College include the following:

Risk or uncertainty Strategies for managing
Possible continued financial
uncertainties of
COVID-19 pandemic
Continue strict cost management strategy and cautious cash flow
management.
Poor investment performance
affecting income available to
spend
Regular Investment Committee review, including monitoring of
investment managers’ performance. Long-term view maintained and
drawdown rates set on rolling averages to smooth peaks and
troughs.
Employer pension rates and other
non-discretionary costs increase
out of line with income
Close control of budgets and other financial planning to anticipate
changes and ensure timely decision-making.
Fall in recruitment and retention of
top quality students and academic
fellows
Maintaining and improving financial support for students. Enhancing
academic activities and support, and ensuring they are well
publicised.

WOLFSON COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2021

Investment Policy, Objectives and Performance

The College’s investment objectives are to balance current and future beneficiary needs by:

To meet these objectives the College’s investments as a whole are managed on a total return basis, maintaining diversification across a range of asset classes and geographical areas to produce an appropriate balance between risk and return. In line with this approach, the College statutes allow the College to invest permanent endowments to maximise the related total return and to make available for expenditure each year an appropriate proportion of the unapplied total return.

The Governing Body, as advised by the Investment Committee from time to time, sets the investment policy and strategy. The Investment Committee also regularly monitors performance. At the year end, the College’s long-term investments, combining the securities and property investments, totalled £70.8 million. Investment income in the year amounted to £1.4 million and investment gains amounted to £10.5 million.

It is the Governing Body’s policy to grow the College’s investments by a minimum of 4% per annum in real terms, of which it will extract as income no more than 3% plus costs of the rolling five-year value of the relevant investments. The Governing Body will keep the level of income withdrawn under review to balance the needs and interests of current and future beneficiaries of the College’s activities.

FUTURE PLANS

The Governing Body has reviewed the College’s long-term strategy and plans, and will continue to do so, taking specialist advice where appropriate.

Key elements of the College’s plans include:

WOLFSON COLLEGE

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of the Governing Body of Wolfson College

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Wolfson College for the year ended 31 July 2021 which comprise the Statement of Accounting Policies, the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and Notes numbered 1 to 30.

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:

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 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 twelve 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 other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Members of the Governing Body are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

WOLFSON COLLEGE

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of the Governing Body of Wolfson College

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

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

Responsibilities of the Members of the Governing Body

As explained more fully in the Governing Body responsibilities statement set out on page 13 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 the Governing Body 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 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 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 misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Discussions were held with, and enquiries made of, management and those charged with governance with a view to identifying those laws and regulations that could be expected to have a material impact on the financial statements. During the engagement team briefing, the outcomes of these discussions and enquiries were

shared with the team, as well as consideration as to where and how fraud may occur in the entity. The following laws and regulations were identified as being of significance to the entity:

Those laws and regulations considered to have a direct effect on the financial statements include UK financial reporting standards, Charities Act, Tax and Pensions legislation, health and safety and employment law.

Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations) comprised of: inquiries of management and those charged with governance as to whether the entity complies with such laws and regulations; enquiries with the same concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims; inspection of relevant legal correspondence; review of board minutes; testing the appropriateness of entries in the nominal ledger, including journal entries; reviewing transactions around the end of the reporting period; and the performance of analytical procedures to identify unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud.

WOLFSON COLLEGE

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of the Governing Body of Wolfson College

No instances of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity’s controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

WOLFSON COLLEGE Statement of Accounting Policies Year ended 31 July 2021

1. Scope of the financial statements

The financial statements comprise the Statement of Financial Activities (“SOFA”), the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and Notes numbered 1 to 30.

2. Basis of accounting

The College’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Accounting Standards, in particular ‘FRS 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ (“FRS 102”).

The College is a public benefit entity for the purposes of FRS 102 and a registered charity. The College has therefore also prepared its financial statements in accordance with ‘The Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with FRS 102’ (The Charities SORP (FRS 102)).

The financial statements have been prepared on the 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 SOFA. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below and have been applied consistently throughout the year.

3. Accounting judgements and estimation uncertainty

In preparing financial statements it is necessary to make certain judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The following judgements and estimates are considered by the Governing Body to have most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.

The College carries investment property at fair value in the balance sheet, with changes in fair value being recognised in the income and expenditure section of the SOFA. Independent valuations are obtained periodically to determine fair value at the balance sheet date.

Key estimates and assumptions are also required in the calculation of the pension recovery plan deficit (accounting policy number 15) and rates of depreciation of fixed assets (accounting policy number 8).

In the view of the Governing Body, no assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year.

4. Income recognition

All income is recognised once the College has entitlement to the income, the economic benefit is probable and the amount can be reliably measured, as listed below:

a. Income from fees, HEFCE support and other charges for services

Fees receivable, less any scholarships, bursaries or other allowances granted from the College unrestricted funds, HEFCE support and charges for services and use of the premises are recognised in the period in which the related service is provided.

b. Income from donations, grants and legacies

Donations and grants that do not impose specific future performance-related or other specific conditions are recognised on the date on which the College has entitlement to the resource, the amount can be reliably measured and the economic benefit to the College of the donation or grant is probable. Donations and grants subject to performance-related conditions are recognised as and when those conditions are met. Donations and grants subject to other specific conditions are recognised as those conditions are met or their fulfilment is wholly within the control of the College and it is probable that the specified conditions will be met.

Legacies are recognised following grant of probate and once the College has received sufficient information from the executor(s) of the deceased’s estate to be satisfied that the gift can be reliably measured and that the economic benefit to the College is probable.

17

DocuSign Envelope ID: 4C6750EF-51E3-460F-8A58-2E784442250C

WOLFSON COLLEGE Statement of Accounting Policies Year ended 31 July 2021

Donations, grants and legacies accruing for the general purposes of the College are credited to unrestricted funds.

Donations, grants and legacies which are subject to conditions as to their use imposed by the donor or set by the terms of an appeal are added to the relevant restricted fund or, where the donation, grant or legacy is required to be held as capital, to the endowment funds. Where donations are received in kind as distinct from cash or other monetary assets, they are measured at the fair value of those assets at the date of the gift.

c. Investment income

Interest on bank balances is accounted for on an accrual basis with interest recognised in the period to which the interest relates.

Income from fixed interest debt securities is recognised using the effective interest rate method. Dividend income and similar distributions are recognised on the date the share interest becomes ex-dividend or when the right to the dividend can be established.

Income from investment properties is recognised in the period to which the rental income relates.

5. Expenditure

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. A liability and related expenditure is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation commits the College to expenditure that will probably require settlement, the amount of which can be reliably measured or estimated.

Grants awarded that are not performance-related are charged as an expense as soon as a legal or constructive obligation for their payment arises. Grants subject to performance-related conditions are charged as an expense as the specified conditions of the grant are met.

All expenditure including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure categories in the SOFA.

Support costs, which include governance costs i.e. costs of complying with constitutional and statutory requirements, and other indirect costs, are apportioned to expenditure categories in the SOFA based on the estimated amount 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.

6. Leases

Leases of assets that transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. The costs of the assets held under finance leases are included within fixed assets and depreciation is charged over the shorter of the lease term and the assets’ useful lives. Assets are assessed for impairment at each reporting date.The corresponding capital obligations under these leases are shown as liabilities and recognised at the lower of the fair value of the leased assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between capital repayment and finance charges in the SOFA so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Leases that do not transfer all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. Rentals payable under operating leases are charged in the SOFA on a straight line basis over the relevant lease terms. Any lease incentives are recognised over the lease term on a straight line basis.

WOLFSON COLLEGE Statement of Accounting Policies Year ended 31 July 2021

7. Tangible fixed assets

Land is stated at cost. Buildings and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Land and buildings expenditure over £25,000 is capitalised as follows:

Where a part of a building or equipment is replaced and the costs capitalised, the carrying value of those parts replaced is derecognised and charged as an expense in the SOFA.

Equipment costing more than £5,000, and which is deemed to have a significant useful economic life, is also capitalised. Other expenditure on equipment incurred in the normal day-to-day running of the College is charged to the SOFA as incurred.

8. Depreciation

Depreciation is provided to charge as an expense the cost of all relevant tangible fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, in equal annual instalments over their expected useful economic lives as follows:

Freehold properties, including major extensions 50 years Building improvements 10 - 30 years Equipment 4 - 20 years

Freehold land is not depreciated. The cost of maintenance is charged in the SOFA in the period in which it is incurred.

At the end of each reporting period, the residual values and useful lives of assets are reviewed and adjusted if necessary. In addition, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable then the carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment.

9. Investments

Investment properties are initially recognised at their cost and subsequently measured at their market value at each reporting date. Purchases and sales of investment properties are recognised on exchange of contracts.

Listed investments are initially measured at their cost and subsequently measured at their fair value at each reporting date. Fair value is based on their quoted price at the balance sheet date without deduction of the estimated future selling costs .

Investments such as hedge funds and private equity funds which have no readily identifiable market value are initially measured at their cost and subsequently measured at their fair value at each reporting date without deduction of the estimated future selling costs. Fair value is based on the most recent valuations available from their respective fund managers.

Changes in fair value and gains and losses arising on the disposal of investments are credited or charged to the income or expenditure section of the SOFA as ‘gains or losses on investments’ and are allocated to the fund holding or disposing of the relevant investment.

WOLFSON COLLEGE Statement of Accounting Policies Year ended 31 July 2021

10. Other Financial Instruments

a. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash at banks and in hand and short-term deposits with a maturity date of three months or less.

b. Debtors and creditors

Debtors and creditors receivable or payable within one year of the reporting date are carried at their transaction price. Debtors and creditors that are receivable or payable in more than one year and not subject to a market rate of interest are measured at the present value of the expected future receipt or payment discounted at a market rate of interest.

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

The functional and presentation currency of the College is the pound sterling.

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies during the year are translated into pounds sterling using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into pounds sterling at the rates applying at the reporting date.

13. Total Return investment accounting

The College statutes authorise the College to adopt a ‘total return’ basis for the investment of its permanent endowments. The College can invest its permanent endowments without regard to the capital/income distinctions of standard trust law and with discretion to apply any part of the accumulated total return on the investment as income for spending each year. Until this power is exercised, the total return is accumulated as a component of the endowment, known as the unapplied total return, which can be either retained for investment or released to income at the discretion of the Governing Body.

14. Fund accounting

The total funds of the College are allocated to unrestricted, restricted or endowment funds based on the terms set by the donors or set by the terms of an appeal. 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 Governing Body. The Governing Body may decide that part of the unrestricted funds shall be used in future for a specific purpose and this decision will be accounted for by transfers to appropriate designated funds.

Restricted funds comprise gifts, legacies and grants where the donors have specified that the funds are to be used for particular purposes of the College. 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 or permitted the capital to be maintained and with the intention that the income will be used for specific purposes within the College’s objects.

Permanent endowment funds arise where donors specify that the funds are to be retained as capital for the permanent benefit of the College. Any part of the total return arising from the capital that is allocated to income will be accounted for as unrestricted funds unless the donor has placed restrictions on the use of that income, in which case it will be accounted for as a restricted fund.

20

DocuSign Envelope ID: 4C6750EF-51E3-460F-8A58-2E784442250C

WOLFSON COLLEGE Statement of Accounting Policies Year ended 31 July 2021

Expendable endowment funds are similar to permanent endowments in that they have been given, or the College has determined based on the circumstances that it has been given, for the long term benefit of the College. However, the Governing Body may at its discretion determine to spend all or part of the capital.

15. Pension costs

The College participates in the Universities Superannuation Scheme and the University of Oxford Staff Pension Scheme. These schemes are hybrid pension schemes, providing defined benefits as well as benefits based on defined contributions. The assets of each scheme are held in a separate trusteeadministered fund. Because of the mutual nature of the schemes, the assets are not attributed to individual employers and scheme-wide contribution rates are set. The College is therefore exposed to actuarial risks associated with other employers’ employees and is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the schemes 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 charged to the SOFA 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) with related expenses being recognised through the SOFA.

Critical accounting judgement

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 the Universities Superannuation Scheme or one for employers in the same locality such as the University of Oxford Staff Pension Scheme. The accounting for a multi-employer scheme where the employer has entered into an agreement with the scheme that determines how the employer will fund a deficit results in the recognition of a liability for the contributions payable that arise from the agreement to the extent that they relate to the deficit and the resulting expense in the SOFA in accordance with Section 28 of FRS 102. The Trustees are satisfied that the Universities Superannuation Scheme and the University of Oxford Staff Pension Scheme both meet the definition of a multi-employer scheme and have therefore recognised the discounted fair value of the contractual contributions under the recovery plans in existence at the date of approving the financial statements.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The pension deficits recorded are dependent on estimates of future employment patterns and interest rates. The effects of changes to these assumptions are shown in note 21.

Finance and domestic administration, IT and human resources costs are attributed according to the estimated staff time spent on each activity. Depreciation costs and fixed asset impairment are attributed in full to the College's charitable activities, since it is for the support of those activities that the buildings, plant and equipment being depreciated are held. Interest and other finance charges are attributed according to the purpose of the related financing. Governance costs are allocated to the core charitable activity of research.

Assyriology Scholarship Fund Marcel & Tessa Hornik Trust Fund

Guy Newton Fund

Fund established from the Lincombe Lodge Research Library Trust and includes the Hornik Library collection. Income from the fund may be spent in a variety of areas including expenses of the library, and supporting research in a number of subjects.

Fund endowed in 1975 from the EPA Cephalosporia Fund. The deed limits expenditure on subjects to be studied to chemical, biological and medical research and states that the endowment should be preserved.

20 TRUSTEES' REMUNERATION

The Trustees of the College comprise the Governing Body Fellows, many of whom are research and teaching employees of the University of Oxford and who sit on Governing Body by virtue of their University and College duties.

No Trustee receives any remuneration for acting as a trustee. However, those trustees who are also employees of the College receive salaries for their work as employees. Governing Body Fellows receive a stipend for their support of the academic functions of the College. All salaries are subject to review by the College's Remuneration and Personnel Committee. The composition of the Remuneration and Personnel Committee is: the President; the Bursar; the Secretary to Governing Body; the Chair of the Conflict of Interest Committee; two other Governing Body Fellows; and two Emeritus Fellows.

There are also six Trustees (President, Vicegerent, Bursar, Senior Tutor, Development Director, Secretary to Governing Body) who work full or part time on management and fundraising.

Some Trustees receive allowances for additonal work carried out as part-time college officers (Fellows for Library and Archives; Deans of Degrees). These amounts are included within the remuneration figures below.

21 PENSION SCHEMES

The College participates in two principal pension schemes for its staff – the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS) and the University of Oxford Staff Pension Scheme (OSPS). The assets of each scheme are held in separate trustee-administered funds. USS and OSPS are contributory mixed benefit schemes (i.e. they provide benefits on a defined benefit basis – based on length of service and pensionable salary – and on a defined contribution basis – based on contributions into the scheme). Both are multi-employer schemes and the College is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities relating to defined benefits of each scheme on a consistent and reasonable basis. Therefore, in accordance with the accounting standard FRS 102 paragraph 28.11, the College accounts for the schemes as if they were defined contribution schemes. As a result, the amount charged to the Income and Expenditure Account represents the contributions payable to the schemes in respect of the accounting period.

In the event of the withdrawal of any of the participating employers in USS or OSPS, the amount of any pension funding shortfall (which cannot be otherwise recovered) in respect of that employer will be spread across the remaining participating employers and reflected in the next actuarial valuation of the scheme.

The College has also made available the National Employment Savings Trust for employees who are eligible under automatic enrolment regulations to pension benefits but not eligible for either USS or OSPS.

Schemes accounted for under FRS 102 as defined contribution schemes

Actuarial valuations

Qualified actuaries periodically value USS and OSPS defined benefits using the ‘projected unit method’, embracing a market value approach. The resulting levels of contribution take account of actuarial surpluses or deficits in each scheme. The financial assumptions are derived from market conditions prevailing at the valuation date. The results of the latest actuarial valuations and the assumptions which have the most significant effect on the results were:

21 PENSION SCHEMES (continued)

RPI inflation is derived from the geometric difference between the UK nominal gilt curve and the UK index-linked curve at the valuation date, less 0.3% p.a. at each term. CPI inflation is derived from the RPI inflation assumption, less the Scheme Actuary’s best estimate of the longterm difference between RPI and CPI inflation as applies from time to time (1.0% p.a. as at 31 March 2019).

For pension increases linked to inflation, a pension increase curve is constructed based on either the RPI, CPI or the average of the RPI and CPI inflation curves described above, adjusted to allow for the different maximum and minimum annual increases that apply, and the Scheme Actuary’s best estimate of inflation volatility as applies from time to time.

Sensitivity of actuarial valuation assumptions

Surpluses or deficits which arise at future valuations may impact on the College’s future contribution commitment. The sensitivities regarding the principal assumptions used to measure the scheme liabilities are set out below:

USS

Assumption Change in assumption Impact on USS liabilities
Initial discount rate increase by 0.1% decrease by £1.2bn
Asset values reduce by 10% increase by £6.4bn
RPI - CPI spread increase by 0.1% decrease by £0.7bn
Rate of mortality more prudent assumption (mortality used at
last valuation, rated down by a further year)
increase by £1.6bn

OSPS

Assumption Change in assumption Impact on OSPS technical provisions
Valuation rate of interest decrease by 0.25% increase by £45m
RPI increase by 0.25% increase by £40m

21 PENSION SCHEMES (continued)

Deficit recovery plans

In line with FRS 102 paragraph 28.11A, the College has recognised a liability for the contributions payable for the agreed deficit funding plan. The principal assumptions used in these calculations are tabled below:

2021 2021 2020 2020

Effect of 0.5% change in discount rate £11k £8k £15k £10k
Effect of 1% change in staffgrowth £20k £8k £23k £21k

Provision

A provision of £965k has been made at 31 July 2021 (2020: £1,110k) for the present value of the estimated future deficit funding element of the contributions payable under these agreements, using the assumptions shown. The provision reduces as the deficit is paid off according to the pension recovery scheme.

Pension charge for the year

The pension charge recorded by the College in the SOFA during the accounting period (excluding pension finance costs) was equal to the contributions payable after allowance for the deficit recovery plan as follows:

Scheme/type 2021 2020
` £'000 £'000
Universities Superannuation Scheme:
Contributionspaid 216 212
Staff costs element ofpensionprovision movement (9) (417)
University of Oxford Staff Pension Scheme:
Contributions paid 248 258
Staff costs element of pension provision movement (148) 55
Total 307 108

These amounts include £116k (2020: £109k) contributions payable to defined contribution schemes at rates specified in the rules of those plans.

Included in other creditors and accruals are pension contributions payable of £nil (2020: £nil).

26 CAPITAL COMMITMENTS

The College had contracted commitments at 31 July 2021 of £4,787k (2020: £nil) for two ongoing capital projects. In addition, in relation to the projects:

27 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The College is part of the collegiate University of Oxford. Material interdependencies between the University and the College arise as a consequence of this relationship. For reporting purposes, the University and the other Colleges are not treated as related parties as defined in FRS 102.

Members of the Governing Body, who are the Trustees of the College and related parties as defined by FRS 102, receive remuneration and facilities as employees of the College. Details of these payments and reimbursed expenses as trustees are disclosed separately in Note 20.

The College has properties with the following net book values owned jointly with Trustees under joint equity ownership agreements between the Trustee and the College.

Total net book value of properties owned jointly with Trustees (two properties) 2021

2020

149 149

All joint equity properties are subject to sale on the departure of the Trustee from the College. The Trustees pay an annual payment to the College on the College owned share at the assessed market rate.

28 POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS

Since the year end, following the completion of the 2020 USS actuarial valuation, a new dual rate schedule of contributions has been agreed with an effective date of 1 October 2021. Recalculating the USS provision on the basis of these contributions would result in a increased obligation to fund the deficit of £1,162k, an increase of £748k.

A further change to deficit recovery contributions will become applicable under the 2020 valuation if the Joint Negotiating Committee recommended deed on benefit changes has not been executed by 28 February 2022. In this scenario, higher deficit recovery contributions will commence from 1 October 2022 at 3% and then increase every 6 months until they reach 20% at 1 October 2025. They remain at this level until 31 July 2032. Negotiations continue and an increase to this level is considered remote.

If the Schedule of Contributions remains unchanged, the College's Financial Statements for the year ended 31 July 2022 will reflect these changes to the provision, subject to any other changes in financial and operational assumptions.
