Auditorfs re$ponslbllltie5 for the audlt of the flnanclal statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with
regulations made under section 154 01 that Act.
Our objectives are to obt8in reasonable assurance about whether the financial slaternents as 8 whole are
free from material misslatemenl, whether due lo fraud or error, and to Issue an auditor's reporl that in¢ludes
our opinion. Reasonabl8 assurence is a high level of assurance, bul is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always delecl a material misstatemonl when 11 exists.
Misstatements can arise fiom fraud or error and are ¢onsidered material il, individually or in agg regale,
they could reasonably be expecled to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
financial slalemenls.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS IUKI we exercise professlon81 judgem&nl and mainlabn professional
sceplicism Ihroughoul the audit. W8 also..
Identify and assess the risks of material misstat8menl of the financial statements, whether due lo
fraud or Orror, deslgn and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence Ihal Is sufficient and appropriate lo provide a basis lor our opinion. The risk of not delecling
a material misstatement resulting from fraud Is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may
involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions. misrepresentslions, or the override of internal ¢onlrol.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant lo the audit in order lo design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, bul not lor the purposes of expressing an opinion on the
effeclweness of the charity's internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the Members ol the Goveming Body.

MAGDALEN COLLEGE
Independent Audltorfs Report to Members of the Governing Body of Magdalen Coll8ge
Yearended 31 July 2025
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Members of the Governing Body's use of the going Goncern
basis of accounting and. based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainly exists
related lo events or conditions that may cast significant doubl on the charity's abilily to continue as 8
going Concern. If we conclude that a material uncèrtainly exists. we are required lo draw attention in
our auditor's report lo the related disclosures in the financial slalements or, if such dlsclosures are
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audll 8vldence obtained up lo
the dale of our auditorts report. However, future events or conditions may cause th8 charity lo cease
lo continue 8s a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial slalemenls, including the
dlsclosures. and wh81her the financial slalements repres¢nl the underlylng Ir8nsaclions and events
in a manner Ihal achieves fair pres8ntation.
We communicate with those tharged with governance regarding, among other matters. the planned scope and
liming of the audil and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in inlernal control that we
identify during our audil.
Explanatlon as to what extent the audlt was considered capabla of detecllng Irregularltles, Includlng
fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance wllh laws and regulations. W8 design
procedures in line with our responsibilities. outlined above, lo delecl material misstalemenls in respacl of
irregularities, Including fraud. The exlenl lo which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities,
Including fraud Is (5elailed below.
Th8 objectives of OLfr audit in r8specI of fraud, are,. lo identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of
the financial slalemenls due lo fraud,. to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed
risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and impl8menling appropriate responses to
those assessed risks,. and lo respond appropriatety lo instances of fraud or susp8cled fraud identified during
the audit. However, the piimary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both
management and those charged with governanc8 01 Ihe charity.
Our approach was as follows..
We obtained an understandlng of the legal and regulatory requlremenls applSc8ble to the charity and
considered Ihal the most significant are the Charities Act 2011, the Charity SORP, and UK financial
reporting slanda¥ds as issued by the Financial Reporting Council.
We obtained an understanding ol how the charity complies with these requirements by discussions
with management and Ihose charg8d wilh governance.
We ass6ssed the risk of material misslalemenl of the financial slatemenls, including the risk of
malerial misslalemenl due to fraud and how it might occur, by holding discussions with managemenl
and those charged with govemance.
We inquired of management and Ihose charged with govern2nc8 as lo any known instances of non-
compliance or suspected non-compli8n¢e with laws and r8gul8tions.
Based on this understanding, we deslgned specific appropriate audit procedures lo identify instances
of non-compliance wSlh laws and regulations. This included making Ènquiries of managemanl and
those charged with governance and obtaining additional corroborative evldence as required.

MAGDALEN COLLEGE
Independent Audltorfs Report to Members of th6 Governing Body of Magdalen Collège
Year endèd 31 July 2025
There are inh8renl limitations in tho audit procedures described abov6. We are less likely lo become aware of
instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to evénts and transactions
reflected in the financial slalemenls. Also, the r15k of not detecting a material missta18menl due lo fraud is
higher than the risk of not detecting one resulllng from error, as fraud may involve dellberale concealm8nt by,
for example. forgery or intentional misrspresentalions, or Ihrough collusion.
Use of our report
This report is made solely lo the Members of the charity's Governing Body, in accordance with Chapter 3
of Parl 8 of the Charities Act 2011. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might slate lo the
Members ol the Governing Body those rnallers we are requlred lo state lo them in an auditor's report and
for no other purpose. To the fullest exlenl permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to
any party other than the charity and the Members of the Governing Body as a body, for our audit work, for

such valuations would outweigh the benefits to the users of these financial statements. From time to

15. Total Return Investment Accounting
The College Slalules aulhorise the College lo adopt a 'lolal relurn, basis for the investment of ils
permanent endowment, The College can invest ils permanent endowments wilhoul regard lo the
capilallincome di81inclions of standard trust law and with discretion to apply any part of the accumulated
lolal relum on the Snveslmenl as income for spending each year. Until this power is exerclsed, the lolal
return is accumulaled as a component of the endowment known as the unapplied tolal relum that can
either be reiained for investment or releas6d lo incom8 at th6 discr6tion of th6 Governing Body.
16. Fund Accountlng
The total funds of the College and Group are allocated to unrestricted, restricted or endowment funds
based on the terms sel by the donors or sel by the terms of an appeal. Endowment funds are further sub-
dividod into permanent and oxpendable.
Unreslricled funds can be used in furtherance of the objects of the College al the discretion of the
Governing Body. The Goveming Body may decide that part of the unreslricled funds shall be used in future
for a specific PLJrpose and this will be accounted for by Iranslers to appmpriale designated funds.
Reslrf¢led funds comprise glfts, legacies and grants where the donors have specified that the funds are lo
be used for particular purposes of the College. They consist of either gifts where the donor has specified
(hal both the capital and any income arising musl be used for the purposes given or the income on gills
where the donor has required that Ihe capilal be maintained and the income used lor speafic purposes.
Permanent endc>wmenl funds arise where donors specify Ihal the funds are lo be retained as capital for
the permanent benefit of the Gollege. Any part of the lolal return arising from the capital th31 is allocated
to income will be accounted for as unrestricted funds unless the donor has placed restriction on the use of
that income, in which case it will be accounled for as a restricted fund.
Expendable endowment funds are slmllar lo permanent endowment In that they hav& b8en glven, or the
College has determined based on the circumstances in which they have been given, for the long-lerm
benefit of the College. However, the Governing Body may al their discretion determine to spend all or part
ol the capital.
17. Pension Costs
The College participates in the Unwersilies Superannuation Scheme IUSSI and the University of Oxford
Staff Pension Scheme IOSPSI. These schernes hybrid pension schemes, providing dBfined b¢nelils
as well as benefits based on defined conlribulions. The assets of each s¢heme are hekl in separate
Iruslee-adminislered funds.
Due lo the mutual nature of Ihe schemes, the assets are not allribuled lo individual employers and
scheTne-wide contribution rates are sel. As a result, the College is exposed lo acluailal risks arlsing from
èmploy68s of othèr amployèrs and is unable to idenlSfy its shar8 of the undédying assets and liabilities of
the schemes on a consistent and reasonable basis.
In accordance with Section 28 of FRS 102 'Employee Benefits,, the College therefore accounts for the
schemes as if they were wholly defined conlribution schemes. ConseqLJenlly, the amount charged to the
in¢omè and èxpènditurè account repr8sanls tha contributions payabl8 lo each schèmè.
Where a scheme valuallon determines that tho scheme Is in defic51 on a 'lechnical provlsions, basis las
was the case followlng the 2020 USS valualionl. the scherne's Trustee musl agree a Recovery Plan that
sets out how each participating employer will fund an Dverall deficit. The College recognises a liability for
28

MAGDALEN COLLEGE
stat$mant of Accountlng Pollcles
Year ended 31 July 2025
the contributions payable under such an agreement Ilo the extent that they relate lo the deficill with
related expenses being recognised in the Stalemenl of Financial Aclivilies.
Critical accounting judgements
FRS 102 distinguishes between a group plan and a mulli-employer s¢heme. A group plan typically
consists of a collection of entities under common control. usually with a sponsoring employer. In
contrast, a multi-employer scheme involves entities that are not under common control, SLJoh as the
Universities Superannuation Scheme IUSSI and Ihe UnSv8rsity of Oxford Staff PensSon Scheme (OSPSI.
The Colloge is s8lislied that both USS and OSPS meet the definition ol a mulli-employer scheme.
Further discbsures relating lo the pension schemes can be found in note 22
