tha charitable cornpany orto cease opèrallons. or have no realistic a￿orn•t￿6 bul to do so.
Audiloff s r8spon5Ibiliti8s for the audit of the financlal statements
Our objectives are to obtain r88sonable assurance about whoth8r the financial slalements as a whol8
are free from material misstatement, whether due lo fraud or error, and to Issu8 an auditorfs report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high18vel of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conductèd In accordancewilh ISAS IUKI will 81ways delect a material misst2t6menlwhen it exists.
Misstatements can arise fmm fraud or error and are consid8r8d material if. individually or In the
aggreg8le. they could reasonably b6 èXP8Ct8d to influence the economie dèclslons of users taken on
the basis of these financial statemants.
Irregularities, Including traud. are instanees of non-cornpliance with laws and regulallon5. We design
procedures in line with our 185ponsibililies. outlined above, to det8Ct material misslalements In r85pect
of irregularities, includlng fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of dètéctlng
Irrègularities. including fraud, is detailed below.
We obt8ln8d an understanding of the legal and r8gulalory framework applicable to both the charitable
company itself and thè Industry in which f( operates. We id8ntified areas of laws and regulations that
could reasonably bè èxpected lo have a material effect on the financial statements from our 58¢1or
experien￿ and through discussion wrth the diredors and other manag&meTIt. The most signilicanlwere
identified a5 the Charities Act 2011, the Companles Act 2006, UK GAAP IFRS1021 and relevant tax
legislation. We considered the extent of compliance with those laws and regulations as part of our
procedures on the related financial slalemenls. Our audit procèdures included..
making 6nqulrÈs of Council Members and manag8fTl8nt as to where they consider thérè to be
susceptibility to fraud and whether they have any knowledge or suspicion of fraud.,
obtaining an understanding of the Internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud
or non-eompllan¢e with laws and regulations.,
reviewing th6 minut85 of meetings of those chargèd with governance.,
assessing the risk of management override including identifying and testing journal entries.,
confirmation received directly from the banks lo verify the balancè at 31 Juty 2024.. and
challenging the assumptions and judg8men15 made by managemant In signfficant
accounting estlmat85 in particular the valuation of inv6stm8nl properties.
Our audit did not idantfy any key audit matters relating to tha dètéetion of irregularf(ies including Iraud,

Other financial iristruments not meetsng the definition ol Basic Financial Instruments are reeognised
initially at falr value. Subsequent to initial recognition other financial instruments are m6asured at fair

Tanglble flxed assets and depreciatlon
Tangible fixed assets are slated at cost or valuation inclsjding any incidèntal èxp6ns8s of ocqulsltS0n.
Additions, whlch are capitalised when greater than a de minimus level of £5,000 for any individual item
or £15,000 for any group of items. and disposals are included when eontraclual obligations have bèen
mel.
Freehold land is not depreciated and is treated as being 113 of the proporty valu8. D8pr8¢1atSon Is
provid6d on all other assets at rale5 calculated lo write off the cost or valuation, less eslimaled residual
value, over their estimated usoful economic liv6$ as follows..
Freehold property

Leasehold propety
2%- straight line
Fixtures, fittings and equipment
5%- 20% straight lin8
The policy for freehold and leasehold property is to undertake an RICS fair basis revaluation evary 3-5
years.
For assets under conslruclion, costs are included as debtors to the point wh6re plallnlng peTmission is
rècèivèd. At that point all costs lo dale are transferred to assets under construelion, and subsequent
costs are added as incurrèd. At the point of flnal completion the costs are transferred lo the relevant
Imed assets category and dopreciatèd 8$ abov8.
The Trustees consider the need for impairment of fi'xed assets on an annual basis.
R•valuatton
Gains on revaluation are reeognised on th8 facè of the Statemèllt of FSnan¢ial Activities before arriving
al net movemeril in funds and accurnulaled in revaluation reserve.
Losses arising on revaluation ar8 racognised on the f8c8 of the Statement of Financial Activf(ies before
arriving at net movement in funds to the exlenl of any previously recognised rèvaluation incréasè
accumulated in equty, in r8SP8Ct of that assgt. Any excess is recognised in expenditure.

Subsequentto Init181 re¢ognilion'.
Investment properties are held al fair valuo. Any gains or losses arising from changes in
the fair value are recognised in tho Statèment of Financial Ath'vilies in the period that thèy
arise,. and
no depreciation is providad respect of investment properties.

Finènc181 assets (including tr8de and oth&r dèbtors)
A financial a55et not carried at fair value through the Slalemenl of Financial Activities IS aSS8SS8d at
each reporting datè to determinewhetherlhere is objeetive Ovidence that it is impaired. A financial asset
is impaired if objectwe evidènc8 Indlcales that a loss event has occurred aftèr the initial recognition of
thè ass81, and thatthe loss event had a nagatwè effect on the e51imaled future eash flows of that assel
that can be estimated reliably.
An impairment loss in respact of 8 financial asset measured at amortised Cost Is calculated as the
difference between ils carrying amount and th8 pres8nl value of the estimated future cash flows
discounted at the asset's original effectiv8 intèrest rate. For financial instruments measurèd at Cost less
impairment an impairment is calculated as the differeneé b8tW8en its carrying amount and the best
estimate of the amount that the chaTf(able company would receive for th8 asset If It were to be sold al
the reporting date. Interest on the impaired asset continues lo èe recognisèd through the unwinding of
th8 discount. Impairment losses are reeognis8d in the Slalement ol Financial Actwiti85. When a
subsequent ￿ent Causes the amount of impalr￿￿nt loss to dacrgase. the decrease in impairment loss
Is reversed through the Statement ol Financial Activities.
Non-finanGial assets
The carrying amounts of the charitable company's non-finaneial asset5, olhgr than investment propety
and stocks are reviewed at each reporting dale lo determine whether there Is any indication of
impairment. If any such indlcation exists. the asset's recoverable amount Is estim818d. The recoverable
amount of an asset is the greater ol its value in uso and ils fair value less costs to sell. For thè purpos8
of impairm6nt tèsting. assets that cannot be lesled individually ars grouped together into the smallest
group of a55815 that generates cash inflows from continuing use Ihal are largely independent of tho
cash Inflow5 of other assets or group of assèts.
An impairment 105s Is recognised if the carrying amount of an ass8t èxcaeds Ils eslimaled iecoverable
amount. Impairmgnt10sses are recognised in the Statement of Flnancial Adiwtle5.
Impairment rosses recognised in prior periods ar8 ass8558d at each reporting dale for any indications
that the loss has decreased or no longer exits. An impalrment105S 15 reversed only to the extènt that
the assets carrying arnount does not exceed that would have bèèn d8t6rmined. net of depreciation or
amortisalion, if no impairmènt loss had bggn recognised.
Provlslon¥
A provision is recognisod th8 balance sheet when the char(cable company has a present legal or
¢onslruclive obligation as a result of a past ev6nt, that can be reliably rneasured, and it is probablè that
an outnow of 6conomlc benefts wlll be required lo settle the obligation * thg reporting date.

Penslons costs
The schemes in whKh the charitable company participates are the Church of England Funded Pension
Scheme and the Unwersilies Superannuation Scheme. The assets of thesè lunds ar8 held separately
from those of the College in independently administered funds.
The Church of England Fund6d Pansion Scheme Is a dèfinod b6nafrt schèm8, butthè Coll8g8 Is unablè
lo identify ils share ofthe underlying assets and liabilities. Each employer in the scheme pays a common
¢ontilbution rate. Where the share of assels￿labllltIes cannot be identified, FRS 102 requires the
College to account for pension costs on the ba515 01 contribution actually payable lo the Scheme in the
year.
Th8 Univèrsitiés Sup8rannuation Schem81s a d8fin8d benefit scheme. The College is unable to identify
Its shar8 of th8 underlying assets and Ilab111118s of the scheme on a con51Stenl and reasonable basis
and therefore. as required by FRS 102, accounts for the scheme as il it were a defined contribution
scheme.
Tha charitable company also has a d8fin8d Contr￿butIOn seh8m8 with Avwa. the amount charged to th
Slalement of Financial Activities in respect of pension oosls and other posl-retirement benefits are the
contributions payable in the year.
Investments
Inv8stmants ar6 statèd at mark8t valuè. Unr8ali58d and r8allsèd galns or losses ar8 r8POrtgd in
aceordance wbth the SORP.
Investment inconE is recognised on a receivable basi5.
Judgements and key sources of estlmatlon uncertalnty
In the application of the College's accounting policies, the members are required lo make judgements,
estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sources. The estimate5 and associated assumptions are based on historical
experience and other factors that are considered to be r616vant. Actual results may drffer frow thes8
estimates. The eslimales and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions lo
8¢counling eslirllates are re¢ognised In the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision
affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods whérè the revision 8ffècts
both current and futuro periods.
Investment Properties are carried al fair value with a valuation being undertaken every year and
fr8Èhold and leasehold propert18s ar8 carried al fair value wllh 8 valuation being und8rtak8n every 3 to
Iwe years. The approach to property revaluations is on the basis ol fair value IFRS 1021, in accordanee
wf(h VPGA 1 oflhe RICS Valuation- Global Standards 2022 (The Red Bookl and UK GAAP. Fair Value
15 defined within the current Financial Reporting Standards as 'lhe price that would be received lo sell
an asset or paid to transfer a liabilty in an orderly transaction bOb￿een markèt Sector particlpants at the
measurernenl date" as defined in VPS 4 Section 7 01 the Red Book. For specialised properties
valuations are on the basis of Depreciated Replacement Cost in accordance with FRS 102 Section 17
