LADY MARGARET HALL

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

The Principal and Fellows of the College of the Lady Margaret in the University of Oxford, which is known as Lady Margaret Hall, (“the College”) is an eleemosynary chartered charitable corporation aggregate. It was founded as Lady Margaret Hall Oxford in 1878 by a group led by the Reverend Edward Talbot. It was incorporated in 1913 under the Companies Acts and later, in response to a petition dated 17 March 1926 from Cyril Bailey and Lynda Grier, under a Royal Charter of His Majesty King George V.

The College registered with the Charities Commission on 6 July 2011 (registered number 1142759).

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 2-5

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing documents

The College is governed by its Charter of 17 March 1926 and Supplemental Charters of 31 December 1953, 23 December 1960, 1 June 1978 and 7 June 2012 and Statutes last amended 15 February 2012.

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

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 Principal and is advised by ten main committees.

Recruitment and training of Members of the Governing Body

New Members of the Governing Body, apart from the Principal, Treasurer, Development Director, Senior Tutor and Tutor for Graduates, are elected on the basis of the association of a College Fellowship with a post in the Collegiate University. They are inducted into the workings of the College, including Governing Body policy and procedures, by the Principal, Senior Tutor and Treasurer.

Members of the Governing Body attend external trustee training and information courses to keep them informed on current issues in the sector and on regulatory requirements.

Remuneration of Members of the Governing Body and Senior College Staff

Members of the Governing Body, who are primarily Fellows, are teaching and research employees of the College (and University, in some cases) and receive no remuneration or benefits from their trusteeship of the College. Those trustees who are also employees of the College receive remuneration for their work as employees of the College, which is set based on the advice of the College’s Remuneration Committee, members of which are independent or Fellows 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 other criteria include: other colleges’ policies on remuneration; principles of equality and fairness; and trends in remuneration in other academic institutions in the UK and internationally and in the relevant levels of the UK public and private sectors.

The remuneration of senior College staff is proposed by the College’s Salaries Committee, taking account, as far as possible, of remuneration levels in other Oxford colleges, reviewed by the Remuneration Committee and then approved by Governing Body.

Organisational management

The members of the Governing Body meet at least 6 and up to 9 times a year. The work of developing their policies and monitoring the implementation of these is carried out by ten main Committees:

6

LADY MARGARET HALL Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2021

Finance Committee - is responsible for the financial administration of the College.

Investment Committee - considers all business relating to the College's investments (including those of trust funds).

Academic Policy Committee – advises on:

Development Committee - is responsible for implementing, monitoring, and reviewing the College's fund-raising objectives and alumni engagement objectives. It provides guidance to the Development Office on priorities in achieving these objectives, and keeps under review the resources necessary, including staff and finances, to achieve them.

Remuneration Committee - acts as an independent body to review and make recommendations to Governing Body on proposed changes to the level of remuneration and direct and indirect benefits for the Principal and Fellows of the College.

Strategy Committee – advises on major strategic issues, especially those which do not fall within the remit of any one other main committee.

Equality Committee - is responsible for the development, implementation, monitoring, prioritisation and review of policies, procedures and practice to support the College's Equality Policy in relation to staff, students, visitors, and others closely associated with the College.

Garden Committee - advises on all matters concerning the College gardens.

Buildings Committee - advises on all matters concerning new buildings.

Statutes Committee - advises on all matters concerning the College Charter and Statutes.

The day-to-day running of the College is delegated to the Principal, supported by College senior staff. The Principal attends all meetings of the Governing Body’s main committees, apart from Remuneration Committee.

Group structure and relationships

The College also administers many special trusts, as detailed in Notes 18 and 19 to the financial statements.

The College also has three wholly owned non-charitable subsidiaries: LMH Hospitality Services Limited, Lady Margaret Hall Properties Limited and Lady Margaret Hall Trading Limited. LMH Hospitality Services Limited is the vehicle for the trading activities of the College, Lady Margaret Hall Trading Limited is the vehicle for managing new capital building projects, and Lady Margaret Hall Properties Limited was the vehicle for managing the letting of rooms in the College's properties but has been dormant since 1 August 2010. The subsidiaries’ aims, objectives and achievements are covered in the relevant sections of this report.

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.

Fund-raising

The College has a professional alumni engagement team which has fund-raising within its remit. The Team’s purpose is to connect and engage Alumni in the work of the College and to generate funds to support the College’s long-term strategy and in-year activities.

During the financial year, the College worked with a fund-raising consultant to oversee the telephone campaigns. The College subscribes to and has adhered to the Fundraising Regulator’s Code of Fundraising Practice during the financial year.

The alumni engagement team is overseen by the Development Director who reports to the Principal. The College Development Committee meets three times a year. These meetings are reported to and discussed by the Governing Body of the College. The College did not receive any complaints relating to fund-raising during the year.

LADY MARGARET HALL

Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2021

The College has an approved and published Policy on fundraising with and responding to people in vulnerable circumstances which accords to the Fundraising Regulator’s Code of Fund-raising practice. Under the policy, incidents are reported to the College’s Development Committee and noted by Governing Body.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Charitable Objects and Aims

The College’s Object is: “To advance education and research, in particular by providing for members of the University of Oxford a college conducted according to the principles of the Church of England, but with full provision for the liberty of those who are not members of that Church.”

The Governing Body has considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and in keeping with its objects, the College’s aims for the public benefit are the same as its overall aims:

The College remains committed to providing public benefit, with the members of the College, both students and academic staff, who are directly engaged in education and/or research, being the primary beneficiaries.

In normal times, when no pandemic restrictions are in force, beneficiaries also include: students and academic staff from other colleges in Oxford and the University of Oxford more widely, visiting academics from other higher education institutions and visiting schoolchildren and alumni of the College who have an opportunity to attend educational events at the College and use its facilities The general public are also able to attend various educational activities in the College such as exhibitions in the library or Conversations with the Principal, and benefit from the general research output from members of the College including in Medicine, Science, Public Policy, Arts and Culture.

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

The focus of the College is strongly academic and students need to satisfy high academic entry requirements, in line with the University and other colleges in the University of Oxford.

The College uses a range of measures to monitor its success, including:

Students’ fees, grants and outreach

The College charges the following fees:

In order to assist undergraduates entitled to student support, the College provides, through a scheme operated in common with the University and other colleges, bursary support for those of limited financial means. For the academic year 2020-21, the number of awards made was 105, out of a Home/EU undergraduate population of 382, with a total value of £316,000, of which £95,000 was provided by the College. The scheme is approved by the Office for Students (OfS) and provides benefits at a substantially higher level than the minimum OfS requirement. The College also has various scholarships and prizes available to reward undergraduate academic excellence and provided £50,000 for this purpose in 2020-21.To support the costs of graduate students, the College provides substantial financial assistance. This includes scholarships of £214,000 in the academic year 2020-21. The College also makes awards for academic development and provided £8,000 in academic development grants, covering both graduates and undergraduates, in 2020-21.

In addition to its other programmes, the College operates a hardship scheme for all students in financial hardship and provided £113,000 under this heading in 2020-21. The College also provides access to hardship schemes operated by the University.

In times when travel has not been restricted as a result of Covid-19, the College’s outreach programme includes an extensive programme of visits by schools to the College, open days and summer schools, admissions symposia for teachers, as well as visits to schools and guidance and information on the College website for prospective applicants. LMH continues to work with the University to develop “Outreach Consortia” activity involving groups of colleges and Local Education Authorities (LEAs) to increase visibility and impact. Since summer 2019 our “consortia reach” includes schools in South Gloucestershire and Bristol, working alongside Merton and Exeter. In 2020-21, all in-person activity ceased but we continued to work, albeit in a restricted way, digitally. We have reinforced our close working with the University’s Undergraduate Admissions and Outreach. The College was pleased to offer an in-person visit day for all our confirmed UG freshers in early September 2021 (take-up c. 60%).

In 2016-17, the College operated the first Foundation Year under a four-year pilot project. Funding has been secured for a total of seven years ahead of the launch of the University’s own “Foundation Oxford” programme. The College is planning for the seventh year of the Foundation Year in 2022/23 to be funded by the University on a 50:50 basis with the College.The Foundation Year is a one year academic and personal preparation for up to 12 students (reduced to 8 for years 6 and 7) from any part of the UK who may not have the grades to make a competitive application for an undergraduate degree course for socioeconomic reasons. The aim is for these students to make an application for an undergraduate degree course at the University of Oxford during the Foundation Year, though progression to the degree course is not automatic. Students who have achieved academically in a disadvantaged context and entirely within the state sector are the targets for the programme and students are selected on the basis of a range of financial, social and cultural indicators. In 2020-21 six of the eight participants of the fifth cohort successfully completed the course and 6 students have progressed onto fulltime undergraduate study at LMH. Seven students successfully completed their Final Honours Degrees, achieving one 1[st] , five 2:1s and one 2:2.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The financial results for 2020-21 show a net movement in funds of £6.502m, increasing the Funds of the College to £70.979m.

Total Incoming Resources were £10.811m (£11.786m in 2019-20) including donations of £3.694m and investment income of £0.728m. Incoming resources excluding these two items came to £6.389m, a decrease of 17% on the previous year. Academic income and residential income from members was down 15% year-on-year, largely due to the impact of the pandemic on student accommodation occupancy levels.

The resources expended in achieving this income of £6.389m were £10.852m, being Total Resources Expended of £10.985m, less investment management expenses of £0.133m. These resources expended were 2% lower than the previous year’s equivalent figure and include a £0.278m decrease in pension provision.

Scholarships, prizes and grants awarded to students increased to £0.272m, up 23%, while bursaries and hardship awards increased to £0.113m, up 59%. The College received £0.085m of historical support commitments from the College Contributions Scheme during the year. Covid19 Emergency support from the College Contribution Scheme amounted to £1.000m.

The incoming resources of £6.389m, less the resources expended of £10.852m, gives an “operating deficit of £4.467m. The College covers this deficit in three ways: (1) using donations to Unrestricted Funds of £1.764m; (2) drawing on Endowment Funds and designated capital funds within Unrestricted Funds under a sustainable spending rule for £1.677m; and (3) drawing on Restricted Funds, where both income and capital are available for spending, for £0.700m.

After these draw downs and donations, the operating deficit is £0.322m. The deficit is calculated after a depreciation charge of £1.268m and a pension provision of £0.278m. Adding back these non-cash items gives an “operating cash inflow” of £0.668m. The College repaid £0.600m of its outstanding debt.

In 2020-21, because of the global recovery in financial markets since March 2020, the “total return” on investments was £7.271m, net of investment expenses of £0.133m (£0.108m in 2019-20), and the amount withdrawn from the investment portfolio was £1.356m.

The net movement in funds of £6.502m comprises: the deficit of £0.322m; the “total return” on investments of £7.271m; new donations received for Endowment Funds of £0.644m and for Restricted Funds of £1.286m; less amounts withdrawn from Endowments of £1.677m and from Restricted funds of £0.700m.

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 and to allow the College to be managed efficiently and to provide a buffer that would ensure uninterrupted services.

Total funds of the College and its subsidiaries at the year-end amounted to £70.979m (2020: £64.477m). This includes endowment capital of £41.574m and unspent restricted income funds totaling £2.786m. Unrestricted reserves at the year end were £26.619m (2020: £26.021m), of which £19.756m is designated to cover the £29.98m net book value of fixed assets net of their associated funding arrangements. A further £8.505m is designated as capital funds and a reserve of £1.732m reflects the provision for future payments to fund the pension scheme deficits.

At the year end, general Unrestricted Funds were positive £0.09m in addition to a cash balance of £2.150m, making a net overall positive position of £2.24m. The College’s strategy is to restore its reserves through accumulating positive surpluses after servicing loan repayments. The negative impact of the pandemic on conference income continues and another operating deficit is forecast for 2021-22.

In the short term, the College forecasts that it will be able to cover this deficit from free reserves, with the back-up of an overdraft facility with Barclays. The College is taking measures including restoring the conference business, moderating employment costs, fund raising and increasing the number of rentable rooms to return the College’s operating accounts to surplus. In the event of a serious down turn, the College has the option to remove the “capital funds” designation from part of its Unrestricted Funds, thereby freeing such funds to cover the expected shortfall.

Risk management

The College has on-going processes which operated throughout the financial year for identifying, evaluating and managing the principal risks and uncertainties faced by the College and its subsidiaries in undertaking their activities.

When it is not able to address risk issues using internal resources, the College takes advice from experts external to the College with specialist knowledge. Policies and procedures within the College are reviewed by the relevant College Committees, chaired by the Principal, the Treasurer or the Domestic Bursar. Financial risks are assessed by the Finance Committee and investment risks are monitored by the Investment Committee. In addition, the Domestic Bursar and domestic staff heads meet regularly to review health and safety issues. Training courses and other forms of career development are available, when requested, to members of staff to enhance their skills in risk-related areas.

The Governing Body, who have ultimate responsibility for managing any risks faced by the College, have reviewed the processes in place for managing risk, and the principal identified risks to which the College and its subsidiaries are exposed, and have concluded that adequate systems are in place to manage these risks.

The principal risks and uncertainties faced by the College and its subsidiaries that have been identified are categorised as follows:

Strategies for managing the risks identified by the College as described above include, for example:

Investment policy, objectives and performance

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

 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 in order 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

15

LADY MARGARET HALL Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2021

the unapplied total return. The investment policy and strategy are set by the Governing Body, as advised by the Investment Committee from time to time, and performance is regularly monitored by the Investment Committee.

At the year end, following the continued recovery in markets after the initial impact of COVID, the College’s long term securities investments totalled £46,906k and the College also held one property investment of £1,775k. One property investment was sold for £466.5k during the year. The total securities investment return was 18.53% in the year to 31 July 2021. This compared to 18.55% for the relevant benchmark return and 7.14% for the target total return in the year to 31 July 2021. The portfolio was positioned somewhat defensively in the current period of market uncertainty.

On the total return basis of investing, it is the Governing Body’s policy to extract as income up to 4% (plus costs) of the value of the relevant investments. However, a formula is applied to smooth and moderate the amounts withdrawn.

The equivalent of 3.3% of the opening value of the securities and property investments, plus costs, was extracted as income on the total return basis in the year. 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 College’s future plans have been set out in a Strategic Plan for 2018-2023.

Specific objectives have been agreed for the academic year 202-22 to ensure that the College continues to enhance its ability to provide a first-class education, and specific objectives, leading from these, have been agreed for the separate departments within the College. Uncertainty remains in various areas because of the continuing impact of Covid-19.

The College’s objectives for 2021-22 are summarised as follows:

Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2021

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 have 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 they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the College and of its net incoming or outgoing resources for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Governing Body is required to:

The Governing Body is responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the College’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the College and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are 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.

LADY MARGARET HALL

Report of the Auditor to the Members of the Governing Body of Lady Margaret Hall

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GOVERNING BODY OF LADY MARGARET HALL

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Lady Margaret Hall (the “Charity”) for the year ended 31 July 2021 which comprise the Statement of Accounting Policies, the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated and College Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and the related notes numbered 1 to 34. 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’s use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Members of the Governing Body with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The Governing Body are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

21

LADY MARGARET HALL Report of the Auditor to the Members of the Governing Body of Lady Margaret Hall

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of the Governing Body

As explained more fully in the Governing Body responsibilities statement set out on page 20, the Governing Body is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Governing Body is 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:

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

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

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

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

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

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

22

LADY MARGARET HALL

Report of the Auditor to the Members of the Governing Body of Lady Margaret Hall

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

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

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

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

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

This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the College’s Governing Body in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and the regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Governing Body those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the College and its Governing Body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

LADY MARGARET HALL Statement of Accounting Policies Year ended 31 July 2021

1. Scope of the financial statements

The financial statements present the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA), the Consolidated and College Balance Sheets and the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the College and its wholly owned subsidiaries LMH Hospitality Services Limited and Lady Margaret Hall Trading Limited. The subsidiaries have been consolidated from the date of their formation being the date from which the College has exercised control through voting rights in the subsidiaries. No separate SOFA has been presented for the College alone as currently permitted by the Charity Commission on a concessionary basis for the filing of consolidated financial statements. A summary of the results and financial position of the charity and each of its material subsidiaries for the reporting year are in note 12.

2. Basis of accounting

The College’s individual and consolidated 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 individual and consolidated 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 a 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 Statement of Financial Activities (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.

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 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 profit or loss in accordance with section 28 of FRS 102. The trustees are satisfied that 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.

Before legacies are recognised in the financial statements, the Governing Body has to exercise judgement as to what constitutes sufficient evidence of entitlement to the bequest. Sufficient entitlement exists once notification of payment has been received from the executor(s) of the estate or estate accounts are available which indicate there are sufficient funds in the estate after meeting liabilities for the bequest to be paid.

In the view of the Governing Body, no assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainly 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.

24

LADY MARGARET HALL Statement of Accounting Policies Year ended 31 July 2021

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.

a. Income from fees, Office for Students support and other charges for services Fees receivable, less any scholarships, bursaries or other allowances granted from the College unrestricted funds, Office for Students 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 charity 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.

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 credited 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.

Dividend income and similar distributions are recognised on the date the share interest becomes exdividend or when the right to the dividend can be established.

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 expensed 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 Statement of Financial Activities (the SOFA).

Support costs which includes governance costs (costs of complying with constitutional and statutory requirements) and other indirect costs are is 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.

Intra-group sales and charges between the College and its subsidiaries are excluded from trading income and expenditure in the consolidated financial statements.

25

LADY MARGARET HALL Statement of Accounting Policies Year ended 31 July 2021

6. Tangible fixed assets

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

Expenditure on the acquisition or enhancement of land and on the acquisition, construction and enhancement of buildings which is directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use and amounting to more than £5,000 together with expenditure on equipment costing more than £5,000 is capitalised.

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

Other expenditure on equipment incurred in the normal day-to-day running of the College and its subsidiaries is charged to the SOFA as incurred.

7. Depreciation

Depreciation is provided to write off 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 40 years Building improvements 10 - 40 years Equipment 3 - 10 years

Freehold land is not depreciated. The costs of maintenance are 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 change in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable then the carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment.

8. Investments

Investment properties are initially recognised at their cost and subsequently measured at their fair value (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 costs 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.

9. 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 at transaction price. Debtors and creditors that are receivable or payable in more than one year and not

26

LADY MARGARET HALL Statement of Accounting Policies Year ended 31 July 2021

subject to a market rate of interest are measured at the present value of the expected future receipts or payment discounted at a market rate of interest.

10. 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.

11. Foreign currencies

The functional and presentation currency of the College and its subsidiaries 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. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the exchange rates at the reporting date are recognised in the income and expenditure section of the SOFA.

12. Total Return investment accounting

The College statutes authorise the College to adopt a ‘total return’ basis for the investment of its permanent endowment. 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 that can be either be retained for investment or release to income at the discretion of the Governing Body.

13. Fund accounting

The total funds of the College and its subsidiaries 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 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. 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 should 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.

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

14. Pension costs

The College participates in Universities Superannuation Scheme and the University of Oxford Staff Pension Scheme. These schemes are hybrid pension schemes, providing defined benefits (for members), as well as defined contribution benefits. The assets of the schemes are each held in a separate trustee-

27

LADY MARGARET HALL Statement of Accounting Policies Year ended 31 July 2021

administered fund. Because of the mutual nature of the schemes, the assets are not attributed to individual colleges and scheme-wide contribution rates are set. The College is therefore exposed to actuarial risks associated with other Universities ’ and colleges ’ employees and is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the scheme on a consistent and reasonable basis. As required by Section 28 of FRS 102 “Employee benefits”, the College therefore accounts for the schemes as if they were wholly defined contribution schemes. As a result, the amount 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) and therefore an expense is recognised.

The College also operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions to these arrangements are charged to the SOFA in the period in which they are payable.

No fixed assets are held under finance leases (2019: nil)

The College has substantial long-held historic assets all of which are used in the course of the College’s teaching and research activities. These comprise listed buildings on the College site, together with their contents comprising works of art, ancient books and manuscripts and other treasured artefacts. Because of their age and, in many cases, unique nature, reliable historical cost information is not available for these assets and could not be obtained except at disproportionate expense. However, in the opinion of the Trustees the depreciated historical cost of these assets is now immaterial.

13 STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT TOTAL RETURN

(See note 34 d) for comparatives)

The Trustees have adopted a duly authorised policy of total return accounting for the College investment returns with effect from 1st August 2005. The investment return to be applied as income is calculated according to the sustainable spending rule, as follows:

(a) Income on funds held for general purposes

This currently permits the transfer in each year of up to: (70% of the previous financial year’s transfer + 3%) + (30% of 4% of the value of the endowments as at close of business on 31 July in the previous year).

(b) Income on funds held for specific purposes

This currently permits the transfer in each year of up to: (70% of the previous financial year’s transfer + 3%) + (30% of 4% of the value of the endowments as at close of business on 31 July in the previous year), only to the extent expended for that purpose in the period.

The preserved (frozen) value of the invested endowment capital represents its open market value in July 2003 together with all subsequent endowments valued at date of gift.

21 TRUSTEES' REMUNERATION

The trustees of the college comprise the governing body, primarily fellows who are teaching and research employees of the college and who sit on governing body by virtue of their employment.

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. Where possible, these salaries are paid on external scales and often are joint arrangements with the University of Oxford.

The College has a Remuneration Committee. The role of the Committee is to act as an independent body to review and make recommendations to Governing Body on proposed changes to the level of remuneration and direct and indirect benefits for the Principal and Fellows of the College. The Committee consists of three individuals, only one of whom can be a Professorial Fellow, Supernumerary Fellow or other Fellow who does not receive pecuniary emolument from the College and at least two external members of the College whom the College's Governing Body believes would be suitable members of the Committee and who receive no remuneration of any kind from the College.

40

22 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 the schemes are each held in separate trustee-administered funds. USS and OSPS schemes 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 company 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 made available the National Employment Savings Trust for non-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 paragraph 28.11 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:

USS OSPS
Date of valuation: 31 March 2018 31 March 2019
Date valuation results published: 16 September 2019 19 June 2020
Value of liabilities: £67.3bn £848m
Value of assets: £63.7bn £735m
Funding surplus / (deficit): (£3.6bn) [a] (£113m) [b]
Principal assumptions:
· Investment return CPI – 0.73% to CPI – 2.52%pa a Gilts +0.5%-2.25%
· Rate of increase in salaries n/a RPI
· Rate of increase in pensions CPIc Average RPI/CPId
Assumed life expectancies on retirement at age 65:
· Males currently aged 65 24.4 yrs 21.7 yrs
· Females currently aged 65 25.9 yrs 24.4 yrs
· Males currently aged 45 26.3 yrs 23.0 yrs
· Females currently aged 45 27.7 yrs 25.8 yrs
Funding Ratios:
· Technical provisions basis 95% 87%
· Statutory Pension Protection Fund 76% 74%
· ‘Buy-out’ basis 56% 60%
Recommended employer’s contribution rate (as
 21.1% increasing to 23.7% by 19%
% of pensionable salaries): 01/10/21
Effective date of next valuation: 31 March 2020 31 March 2022

42

LADY MARGARET HALL Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 July 2021

a. The discount rate (forward rates) for the USS valuation was:

Years 1-10:CPI + 0.14% reducing linearly to CPI – 0.73%

Years 11-20: CPI + 2.52% reducing linearly to CPI + 1.55% by year 21

Years 21 +:CPI + 1.55%

b. The discount rate 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 1.3% p.a.

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. 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. 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.

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 company’s future contribution commitment. The sensitivities regarding the principal assumptions used to measure the scheme liabilities are set out below:

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 principle assumptions used in these calculations are tabled below:

2020 / 21 2020 / 21 2019 / 20 2019 / 20
OSPS USS OSPS USS
Finish Date for Deficit Recovery Plan 30/01/2028 31/03/2028 30/01/2028 31/03/2028
Average staff number increase 0% 0% 0% 0%
Average staff salary increase 2.00% 2.00% 2.00% 2.00%
Average discount rate over period 0.74% 0.63% 0.74% 0.63%
Effect of 0.5% change in discount rate £21k £25k £21k £25k
Effect of 1% change in staff growth £45k £53k £45k £53k

A provision of £1,732k has been made at 31 July 2021 (2020: £2,010k) 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 tot he pension recovery scheme

43

LADY MARGARET HALL Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 July 2021

Pension charge for the year

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

----- Start of picture text -----
Scheme 2021 2020
£000's £000's
Universities Superannuation Scheme 495 481
University of Oxford Staff Pension Scheme 335 331
Other schemes – contributions 22 25
Total 852 837
----- End of picture text -----

These amounts include £173k (2020: £155k) 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 £98k (2020: £102k).

23 TAXATION

The College is able to take advantage of the tax exemptions available to charities from taxation in respect of income and capital gains received to the extent that such income and gains are applied to exclusively charitable purposes. No liability to corporation tax arises in the College's subsidiary companies because the directors of these companies have indicated that they intend to make donations each year to the College equal to the taxable profits of the company under the Gift Aid scheme. Accordingly no provision for taxation has been included in the financial statements.

24 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

There are no items held at fair value within the financial statements.

30 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The College is part of the collegiate University of Oxford. Material interdependencies between the University and of 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 these financial statements.

The College has properties with the followings net book values owned jointly with trustees under joint equity ownership agreements between the trustee and the College.

31 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

There are no contingent liabilities which require disclosure.

32 POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS

Since the year end, following the completion of the 2020 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 £2,828k, an increase of £1,846k.

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.

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.

33 OTHER INCOME

£495k of other income relates to the government Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme grant. (£368k: 2020)
