WOLFSON COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2023

The Members of the Governing Body present their Annual Report for the year ended 31 July 2023 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.

WOLFSON COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2023

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 850 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:

pastoral, administrative and academic support through its advisory and graduate mentoring systems;
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:

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 an academic post;
supporting research work pursued by its other Fellows through promoting interaction across disciplines, providing facilities and providing grants for national and international conferences, research trips and research materials;
encouraging visits from outstanding academics from abroad; and
encouraging the dissemination of research undertaken by members of the College through the publication of papers in academic journals or other suitable means and the establishment of “academic clusters” in a variety of specialist interdisciplinary areas.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 69DE9F1C-615A-4789-AAEC-AF2CB1A9D4FC

WOLFSON COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2023

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 for 2023-24 was set at 283 full time students and 35 part time students.

In October 2023, 293 full-time students and 30 part-time students joined the College. This equates to 308 fulltime equivalent students, slightly exceeding the 300.5 full-time equivalent target.

Key statistics were as follows:

57.6% of new students were enrolled on Humanities and Social Sciences Courses (60.4% in the previous year).
90.7% of the students were studying full-time programmes (90.7% in the previous year).
38.4% of the students were enrolled onto research degrees (31.8% in the previous year).
Wolfson has a diverse international community of scholars reading for a wide variety of degrees. The College uses statistics provided by the University of Oxford Graduate Admissions Office to compare itself to the overall University intake of graduate students. 62 different nationalities are represented amongst the 2023 new student cohort (66 in the previous year).
46% of new students identifying male and 54% female (42% and 58% respectively in the previous year ).
46% of incoming students were housed in College accommodation (45% in the previous year).

Scholarships and Financial Provision

47% of the 2023 new student cohort have received full or partial grant funding. There are 37 students on Wolfson-funded scholarships, with 11 of those being students who commenced their programmes of study in 2023/24.

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 Ancient World Cluster
The Digital Research Cluster
Oxford Centre for Life-Writing
Quantum Foundations Research Cluster
South Asia Research Cluster
The Tibetan and Himalayan Studies Centre
Wolfson Trauma Cluster
Cross-Disciplinary Machine Learning Cluster
Earth Emergency Cluster
Wolfson Research Cluster for Islamic Art and Material Culture

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.

†Staff data is published annually; the figures presented above capture the data for January 2023. Responses to ††Ethnicity include ‘white’ or ‘other or prefer not to say’

Student data refers to the 2022 census year (latest available data).

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 The Wolfsonian e-newsletter, Wolfson: Plans & Prospects magazine, and the College Record . In 2022/23 the College had continued success in fundraising for the Wolfson: Zero Carbon project, with donations of £500,000 and $500,000 to help complete the insulation of college buildings. Wolfson also received a donation of £86,000 to allow the College to buy a new electric minibus, and generous support for the refurbishment of rooms and the enhancement of the College’s floodplain meadows.

Wolfson College was also the beneficiary of significant donations for specific subject areas. Among the areas to benefit from donations for research and scholarships were Tibetan & Himalayan Studies; Physics and Quantum Computing; the Ancient World; the Oxford Centre for Life-Writing; Law; and Oncology. The generosity of alumni and friends also enabled the provision of financial bursaries and travel awards for students in various fields, for which the College is very grateful.

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 was a complex and costly challenge given its unique architecture: original 50-year-old gas heating system and massive elevations of single glazing, but the project was completed in 2023 and the College is proud to have achieved net zero status.

The College continues to reduce its Scope 3 emissions where possible, and the introduction of an electric minibus in November 2023 will help with this. Irreducible Scope 3 has been offset with reinvestment in energy saving initiatives.

WOLFSON COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2023

FINANCIAL REVIEW

As shown in the Statement of Financial Activities, total incoming resources for the year amounted to £11.5 million. This amount included donations and legacies amounting to £2.9 million, and investment income amounting to £2 million, as well as College operating income. Of the donations and legacies, £1.7 million related to the decarbonisation project (see page 9).

Expenditure of £8.8 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 £0.8 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. 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.

A net loss on investments for the year amounted to £1million as a result of difficult global market conditions.

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 £102.9 million (2022: £101.1 million). This total includes endowment capital of £59.1 million and unspent restricted income funds of £3.4 million. Free reserves at the year-end amounted to £2.4 million, representing: retained unrestricted income reserves excluding an amount of £33.8 million for the book value of tangible fixed assets; funds designated at the yearend amounting to £5 million; and the pension reserve negative fund amounting to £0.8 million. The majority of free reserves are currently invested with the College’s endowment funds to earn income to support the College’s charitable aims.

Designated reserves at the year-end included £2.8 million as capital to support scholarships and £0.6 million of Common Room funds.

WOLFSON COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2023

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	Continued close monitoring of costs and cashflow.
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 2023

Investment Policy, Objectives and Performance

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

maintaining at least the value of the investments in real terms;
producing a consistent and sustainable amount to support expenditure; and
delivering these objectives within acceptable levels of risk.

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 £66.9 million. Investment income in the year amounted to £1.7 million and investment losses amounted to £1 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:

Continue to reduce carbon emissions where possible and offsetting where irreducible.
A focus on the College’s international and interdisciplinary credentials, and engagement in global issues.
Consideration of increasing the number of accommodation rooms in the College in order that an even higher percentage of students can live at the College and take full advantage of the environment and the facilities.
A continued increase in interdisciplinary research through cluster activities and facilities.
Seeking ways to develop investment in the College and grow the endowment through a commitment to development and fundraising.
A commitment to expand the College’s already vibrant range of academic and cultural activities, including music and art.

WOLFSON COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2023

STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING RESPONSIBILITIES

The Governing Body is responsible for preparing the Report of the Governing Body and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Charity law requires the Governing Body to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Governing Body has prepared the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

Under charity law the Governing Body must not approve the financial statements unless it is satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the College and of its net income or expenditure for the period. In preparing these financial statements, the Governing Body has, as required:

selected the most suitable accounting policies and then applied them consistently;
made judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
stated whether applicable accounting standards, including FRS 102, have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
stated whether a Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applies and has been followed, subject to any material departures which has been explained in the financial statements.
prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the College will continue to operate.

The Governing Body is responsible for keeping proper accounting records that: are sufficient to show and explain the College’s transactions, disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the College and enable it to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. It is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the College and ensuring their proper application under charity law and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Approved by the Governing Body on 29th of November 2023 and signed on its behalf by:

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 2023 which comprise the Statement of Accounting Policies, the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 July 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the 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 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.

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 :

sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

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 144/145 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.

WOLFSON COLLEGE

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

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.

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 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 2023

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.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 69DE9F1C-615A-4789-AAEC-AF2CB1A9D4FC

WOLFSON COLLEGE Statement of Accounting Policies Year ended 31 July 2023

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 2023

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:

Costs of acquisition or enhancement of land
Costs of acquisition, construction and enhancement of buildings which are directly attributable to bringing the assets to their working conditions for intended uses.

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 2023

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.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 69DE9F1C-615A-4789-AAEC-AF2CB1A9D4FC

WOLFSON COLLEGE Statement of Accounting Policies Year ended 31 July 2023

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 (USS) and the University of Oxford Staff Pension Scheme (OSPS). 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 trustee-administered 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 profit and loss account 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 profit and loss account.

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 such as the Universities Superannuation Scheme and 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 meet the definition of a multi-employer scheme and the College has therefore recognised the discounted fair value of the contractual contributions under the recovery plan in existence at the date of approving these financial statements.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

(If the deficit recovery scheme deficits or charges are material to the college a note should be made). 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.

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 were 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:

b. The discount rate (forward rates) for the OSPS valuation was: Pre-retirement Equal to the UK nominal gilt curve at the valuation date plus 2.25% p.a. at each term. Post-retirement Equal to the UK nominal gilt curve at the valuation date plus 0.5% p.a. at each term.

c. Pensions increases (CPI) for the USS valuation were: Term dependent rates in line with the difference between the Fixed Interest and Index Linked yield curves, less 1.1% p.a. to 2030 reducing linearly to 0.1% p.a to a long difference of 0.1% p.a from 2040

21 PENSION SCHEMES (continued)

d. Increases to pensions in payment for the OSPS valuation were:
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 pre-2030 and 1.0% p.a post-2030. CPI inflation is derived from the RPI inflation assumption, less the Scheme Actuary’s best estimate of the long-term difference between RPI and CPI inflation as applies from time to time (1.0% p.a. pre-2030 and 0.1% p.a. post-2030).

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.

e. The USS and OSPS employer contribution rates include provisions for the cost of future accrual of defined benefits, deficit contributions, administrative expenses and defined contributions.

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 pre-retirement discount rate	increase by 0.25%	decrease by £1.3bn
Post retirement discount rate	decrease by 0.25%	increase by £2.8bn
CPI	decrease by 0.1%	decrease by £1.5bn
Life expectancy	more prudent assumption (reduce the adjustment to the base mortality table by 5%)	increase by £1.2bn
Rate of mortality	more prudent assumption (increase the annual mortality improvement long-term rates by 0.2%)	increase by £0.6bn

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:

	2023	2023	2022	2022
	OSPS	USS	OSPS	USS
Finish Date for Deficit RecoveryPlan	30/09/2023	31/03/2038	30/01/2028	31/03/2028

Effect of 0.5% change in discount rate	£0k	£28k	£12k	£38k
Effect of 1% change in staffgrowth	£0k	£12k	£6k	£10k

Provision

A provision of £810k has been made at 31 July 2023 (2022: £1,581k) 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	2023	2022
`	£'000	£'000
Universities Superannuation Scheme:
Contributionspaid	268	240
Staff costs element ofpensionprovision movement	(227)	558

University of Oxford Staff Pension Scheme:
Contributionspaid	264	224
Staff costs element ofpensionprovision movement	(597)	50

Total	(292)	1,072

These amounts include £160k (2022: £107k) 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 (2022: £nil).
