HARRIS MANCHESTER 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

The Principal and Fellows of the Manchester Academy and Harris College in the University of Oxford, commonly known as Harris Manchester College, Oxford is a chartered charitable corporation. It was founded in 1786 and granted a Royal Charter on 12[th] January 1996.

The College registered with the Charity Commission on 26[th] July 2011 and its registered charity number is 1143086.

The membership 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 Charter and Statutes dated 12 January 1996.

Governing Body

The Governing Body is constituted and regulated in accordance with the College Charter and Statutes, the terms of which are enforceable ultimately by the Visitor, Saphieh Ashtiany. The Governing Body determines the strategic direction of the College and regulates its administration and the management of its finances and assets. The membership includes a balance of academic and non-academic College postholders, holders of academic posts in the University who are not employed by the College, and independent members who are employees of neither the College nor the University. It meets regularly under the chairmanship of the Principal and is supported by the three Committees listed on page 3.

Recruitment and training of Members of the Governing Body

New Members of the Governing Body are ordinarily recruited by advertisement and inducted into the workings of the College, including Governing Body policy and procedures, by the Principal and College Officers.

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

Remuneration of Members of the Governing Body and Senior College Staff

Members of the Governing Body 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, based on the advice of the Remuneration Committee. The members of this Committee are Fellows who are not employees of the College. Where practicable, remuneration is set in line with that awarded to the University’s academic staff.

Organisational management

The members of the Governing Body meet at least 9 times a year. The work of developing policies and monitoring their implementation is carried out by three Committees:

Year ended 31 July 2023

Group structure and relationships

The College administers special funds as detailed in Notes 16 and 17 to the Financial Statements.

The College has no subsidiary or associated undertakings.

The College is part of the collegiate University of Oxford. Material interdependencies between the University and the College arise from this relationship.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Charitable Objects and Aims

The College’s charitable objects, as laid out in its Royal Charter, are:

3) A full and systematic course of education and training of Ministers of Religion, having regard especially to the Ministries of the General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches in our United Kingdom and of the Non-Subscribing Presbyterian Church of Ireland.

Public benefit

The Governing Body is committed to the aims of providing public benefit in accordance with its objects and is satisfied that it has continued to conduct its affairs during the year to 31 July 2023 in furtherance of these aims.

HARRIS MANCHESTER COLLEGE

Report of the Governing Body

Year ended 31 July 2023

Charitable Activities

The College has 89 Fellows (excluding Honorary and Emeritus Fellows), of whom 27 are members of the Governing Body, 25 are Senior Research Fellows, 15 are Research Fellows and 22 are Supernumerary Fellows.

The College is home to two research centres (the Wellbeing Research Centre and the Commercial Law Centre) as well as a more informal cluster working on the intersection of the arts and sciences, for example medical humanities, science and religion and the history of science.

The College is engaged in recruiting, teaching, pastoral care and welfare of ‘mature’ (i.e. aged over 21) students reading for undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications of the University of Oxford. The College provides facilities in support of these students, including a comprehensive library, study and social spaces, IT facilities, food, accommodation and an invigorating academic community in which they can thrive.

The College has concentrated on teaching subjects which can be a preparation for the learned professions and for those wishing to enter civil and commercial life. More specifically, the College teaches the following subjects: law, medicine and medical sciences, engineering, education, politics, economics, philosophy, theology and religion, management studies, archaeology, anthropology, english, history, human sciences, psychology, classics, and Asian and middle eastern studies.

The College has now also completed preparatory work for the Oxford Next Horizons Programme which will welcome its first cohort in January 2024. Oxford Next Horizons is a new non-award-bearing programme for mid-late career participants, which has been established in partnership with the Rhodes Trust.

The College employs a Tutor in Ministerial Training, whose responsibility it is to teach a full and systematic course of education and training for ministers of religion, and especially those of the Unitarian churches. The Tutor is also developing initiatives for continuing ministerial development, and the study of the traditions originating in English rational dissent.

The College promotes the Christian religion through the employment of a Chaplain, who holds regular services of worship in the College Chapel. The College allows the use of the Chapel by other Christian organisations.

This year, the College agreed to the early termination of its cooperation agreement with the Farmington Trust, which originally was intended to run for ten years to 2025. This was at the Farmington Trust's request, since its trustees wished to pursue charitable activities which they considered to be in line with their charitable objectives, but which were not possible under the terms of the cooperation agreement or in line with the college's statutes. In considering this request, the College's trustees agreed that early termination would assist in maintaining a positive ongoing relationship with the Trust, which under a separate leasing arrangement is a long-term tenant of the College.

The criteria used to assess the success of the College in promoting its objects are:

The quality of the research of individual Fellows can be judged by reference to those accepted to represent the University in the periodic, national Research Excellence Framework exercise and by the award of research grants. Other indicators include teaching Fellows being successful in the University’s Recognition of Distinction exercise and being recognised in the University’s annual Teaching Excellence Awards scheme and student surveys.

Undergraduate results and graduate awards are used by the College to assess its success in providing opportunities for those working for degrees, diplomas and certificates of the University. Students’ academic success is reported below:

HARRIS MANCHESTER COLLEGE

Report of the Governing Body

Year ended 31 July 2023

(number in brackets indicates 2022 performance)

The College continues to promote the Christian Religion through its Chapel, with a regular and creative programme of public worship. The Chapel is also an important venue for talks on Christianity and its broad spiritual tradition such as the newly-revived Upton Lectures in Religion and Philosophy, which are wellattended by external audiences.

Activity in support of Charitable Activities

In order to continue to maintain and develop its activities better to fulfil its charitable objectives, the College has an active fund-raising programme. In the current year, £1,854m was raised in total, of which £1,191m for funding of the Farmington Institute and the Wellbeing Research Centre and £490k was received from the College Contribution Fund to support essential College operations. This included the reclassification of a £300K historic creditor, which was provided by an early iteration of the College Contribution Fund and the University has confirmed does not need to be repaid. The College is grateful for all donations which support its ability to maintain and develop the achievement of its charitable objectives.

The College manages all solicitations internally, without the involvement of commercial participators, professional fundraisers or other third parties. The day-to-day management of fundraising activity is delegated to the Development Office, under the direction of the Principal.

The College also provides a venue for conferences and events which generate additional income to support its charitable activities. In 2023 commercial income from this activity was £580K, which brough activity in this area back up to the levels experienced before the COVID pandemic.

PRINCIPAL FUNDING SOURCES

Total income during the year amounted to £5.618m (2022: £7.4m), the change primarily attributable to significant one-off donations and legacies in 2022.

Total expenditure during the year amounted to £5.269m (2022: £5.1m).

The College generated an overall surplus in the year before investments losses of £349k. After the unrealised

The College has a pension provision of £627k (2022: £694k) (see note 20).

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.

Total funds of the College at the year-end amounted to £44.780m (2022: £45.237m). This includes endowment capital of £16.486m (2022: £17.351m) and unspent restricted income funds totalling £1.796m

HARRIS MANCHESTER COLLEGE

Report of the Governing Body

Year ended 31 July 2023

(2022: £1.757m). Free reserves at the year-end amounted to £26.498m (2022: £26.129m), representing retained unrestricted income reserves.

Risk management

The College is engaged in risk assessment on an on-going basis, including a formal periodic review of the college’s risk register. When it is not able to address risk issues using internal resources, the College takes external advice from those with specialist knowledge. Policies and procedures within the College are reviewed by the relevant College Committee. Financial risks are assessed by the Bursar, Finance Committee and Governing Body and investment risks are monitored by the Investment Committee.

The Bursar and domestic heads of staff meet regularly to review health and safety issues, and to ensure policies and process are relevant and sufficient to address the level of risk. Staff are provided with training and other development opportunities in order that they are better placed to address areas of risk where they occur.

The Governing Body, which has ultimate responsibility for managing the levels of risk in the College, has reviewed the processes in place to identify and address risk.

It is recognised that systems can provide only reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been managed.

Investment policy, objectives and performance

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

To meet these objectives the College’s investments are managed to maintain diversification across a range of asset classes in order to produce an appropriate balance between risk and 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. The colleges primary route for investment is via Oxford University Endowment Management. Further details on their investment philosophy and risk management approach are available on their website: https://www.ouem.co.uk/esgmanagement/oef-report/.

At the year end, the College’s long-term investments totalled £17.962m (2022: £17.35m).

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.

STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING RESPONSIBILITIES

The Governing Body (the ‘trustees’) is responsible for preparing the Report of the Governing Body and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the College and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the College for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The Governing Body is responsible for keeping proper accounting records that 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, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2015 and the provisions of the Royal Charter. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the College and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Governing Body are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the College and financial information included on the College’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

HARRIS MANCHESTER COLLEGE

Report of the Auditor to the Members of the Governing Body of Harris Manchester College

Harris Manchester College Report of the Independent Auditor Year ended 31 July 2023

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Trustees of Harris Manchester College

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Harris Manchester College (‘the Charity’) for the year ended 31 July 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including 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:

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 trustee'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 or 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 trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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.

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

11

HARRIS MANCHESTER COLLEGE

Report of the Auditor to the Members of the Governing Body of Harris Manchester College

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.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

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

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees 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 trustees 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 trustees 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 of the Charities Act 2011, and report in accordance with the Acts 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.

Details of the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations are set out below.

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.

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements from irregularities, whether due to fraud or error, and discussed these between our audit team. We then designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charity operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were taxation

12

HARRIS MANCHESTER COLLEGE

Report of the Auditor to the Members of the Governing Body of Harris Manchester College

legislation, together with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items.

In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the charity’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charity for fraud. The other laws and regulations we considered in this context for the charity were General Data Protection Regulations and Health and Safety.

Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be within the recognition of income, and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to risk of income recognition included selecting a sample of income during the year, agreeing back to the relevant documentation and ensuring it has been recognised correctly. Our audit procedures to respond to the risk of management override included enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of journals, reviewing accounting estimates for biases, reviewing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees 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 charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

HARIS MANCHESTER COLLEGE Statement of Accounting Policies

Year ended 31 July 2023

1. Scope of the financial statements

The financial statements present the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA), the College Balance Sheet and the Statement of Cash Flows for the College.

The accounts of the affiliated student bodies (Harris Manchester College Junior and Middle Common Rooms) have not been consolidated as the College does not control these activities.

2. Basis of accounting

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (“FRS 102”) issued on 16 July 2014 and FRS 102 and the Charities Act 2011. They are drawn up under the historical cost convention 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.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair’ view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102 issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the previous Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities which was effective from 1 April 2005 but which has since been withdrawn.

The College is a public benefit entity for the purposes of FRS 102 and a registered charity.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and on the historical cost basis.

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.

In the view of the Governing Body, in applying the accounting policies adopted, no judgements were required that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

With respect to the next financial year, the most significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the College are the level of investment return, the performance of investment markets and the pension deficit contributions. The latter is going to be affected by the completion of the University Superannuation Scheme 2023 actuarial valuation.

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.

The College participates in a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan. In the judgement of the Governing Body there is insufficient information about the plan assets and liabilities to be able to reliably account for its share of the defined benefit obligation and plan assets in the financial statements and therefore the plan is accounted for as a defined contribution scheme (see note 20).

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. 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

14

HARIS MANCHESTER COLLEGE

Statement of Accounting Policies

Year ended 31 July 2023

deficit result 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 meets the definition of a multi-employer scheme and has therefore recognised the discounted fair value of the contractual contributions under the recovery plans in existence at the date of approving the financial statements.

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, 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 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 accruals 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.

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 expensed as the specified conditions of the grant are met.

15

HARIS MANCHESTER COLLEGE Statement of Accounting Policies

Year ended 31 July 2023

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 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.

7. Tangible fixed assets

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

The cost of major renovation projects which increase the service potential of buildings is capitalised and depreciated over applicable periods once a project is completed.

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 is charged to the SOFA as incurred.

8. 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 50 years
Building improvements 50 years
Equipment 5 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 change in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable then the carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment.

9. Heritage Assets

The College has chosen to hold heritage assets at cost. It has a number of assets, including items of art and historic texts that meet the definition of heritage assets under the SORP. The depreciated historic

cost of the majority of these items is nil. Items purchased are recognised at cost and items donated to the College are recognised at fair value. The College has taken advantage of the exemption within FRS 102 not to disclose transactions before 1 January 2015 as obtaining fair values for these assets would be impracticable and the cost of obtaining such valuations would outweigh the benefits to the users of these financial statements.

10. 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.

11. 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 receipts or payment discounted at a market rate of interest.

12. 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.

13. 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.

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 [except when deferred and initially credited or charged in ‘other recognised gains and losses’ as qualifying cash flow hedges].

17

HARIS MANCHESTER COLLEGE Statement of Accounting Policies

Year ended 31 July 2023

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 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.

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.

15. Pension costs

The College participates in the Universities Superannuation Scheme and the Pensions Trust Growth Plan Series 1-3 & 4. The Universities Superannuation Scheme is a hybrid scheme providing defined benefits as well as benefits based on defined contributions. Series 1-3 of The Pensions Trust Growth Plan is a contributory defined benefit scheme. Series 4 of The Pensions Trust Growth Plan is a defined contribution scheme.

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.

The College's contributions to these schemes are recognised as a liability and an expense in the period in which the salaries to which the contributions relate are payable.

In addition, a liability is recognised at the balance sheet date for the discounted value of the expected future contribution payments under the agreements with these multi-employer schemes to fund the past service deficits.

The above analysis includes £1,347k received from Oxford University from publicly accountable funds under the CFF Scheme (2022: £1,250k). From Academic Year 2021/22 onwards, fee income from new EU students is generated at overseas rates.

To support the strategic priority to fund more graduate scholars and to enable outstanding students to take up their places regardless of their financial position, for graduate students with overseas fee status funded through the Clarendon or UKRI scholarship funding schemes, the college share of the fees waived amounted to £0k (2022: £0k). These are not included in the fee income reported above.

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.

17 FUNDS OF THE COLLEGE DETAILS

The following is a summary of the origins and purposes of each of the Funds

Endowment Funds - Permanent:
College Endowment Fund A consolidation of gifts and donations where capital and income, or only the income,
can be used for the general purposes of the charity. Part of these funds may
have been designated for a particular purpose by the Governing Body.
Edward Robert Hamilton Wills Endowment A specific donation to be used to enhance the permanent endowment of the College where
the income can be used for the general purposes of the charity
Endowment Funds - Expendable:
Scholarship Funds A bequest where the use of the income is for a specific purpose so designated
by the donor and which can only be used for that purpose or activity
Restricted Funds:
Development Fund A consolidation of gifts and donations where both income and capital can be
used for acquisition, replacement and maintenance of the College functional buildings.
Balances moved to unrestricted funds upon capitalisation.
Scholarship Funds A consolidation of gifts and donations where both income and capital can be
used for student scholarships, prizes and support.
Farmington Institute Fund Restricted funds include income of £437k given as a grant by the Farmington Trust
to support the charitable activities of the Farmington Institute. The charitable activities
of the Institute were transferred to Harris Manchester College on 1 August 2015, the
Farmington Trust having determined that its charitable objects would be best
achieved through such a transfer. Due to change of the relationship between two parties
(the College & Farmington Trust), Farmington Institute is no longer a part of the College
as from 01/08/2023 and the restricted fund has been discontinued from that date.
Distinguished Careers Institute Fund A fund to provide a term-long programme for mid- and late - term professionals
who want structured time to think about 'what next'
Wellbeing Research Centre The Wellbeing Research Centre is a hub for researchers addressing the issues of human
wellbeing and conducting research in different fields such as economics, behavioural science,
psychology, philosophy and the environment. The Centre also hosts regular research seminars,
social events and will be organising future academic talks and conferences.
In 2021/2022, Wellbeing Research Centre entered into an agreement with World Wellbeing Centre,
a UK company of which Professor Jan-Emmanuel de Neve, is a director
with a view to the latter providing funding to the former for research purposes.
Development Office A grant from the College Contributions Fund to fund the creation of a Development Office’
Fellowship Funds A consolidation of gifts and donations where the income is to be used to support
College fellowships.
Other Funds A consolidation of gifts and donations received for support of general running of College.
This includes funding received via CCF.
Designated Funds
Fixed asset designated Unrestricted Funds which are represented by the fixed assets of the College
and therefore not available for expenditure on the College's general purposes.
The Trustees have transferred the balance on this fund into general college
reserves as it is no longer considered necessary to show separately.
Designated Revenue Funds Designated Revenue Funds represent monies ring-fenced for specific purposes by Governing
Body
Development Fund Unrestricted Funds allocated by the Fellows for future costs of
replacement and maintenance of the College functional buildings

The General Unrestricted Funds represent accumulated income from the College's activities and other sources that are available for the general purposes of the College

19 TRUSTEES' REMUNERATION

The Fellows who are the Trustees of the College for the purposes of charity law receive no remuneration for acting as charity trustees but are paid by either or both of the University and the College for the services they provide to the College.

Trustees of the college fall into the following categories: Head of House Professorial Fellow Official Fellow Fellow by Special Election Research Fellow Tutor in Ministerial Training

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 academic and academic-related scales and often are joint arrangements with the University of Oxford.

The College has a Remuneration Committee which makes recommendations to the Governing Body on pay and benefits which are outside of external scales. The composition of the Remuneration Committee is set out in page 2-3 of the financial statements in the section, Governing Body, Officers and Advisers.

20 PENSION SCHEMES

The College participates in the Universities Superannuation Scheme ("the USS") and the TPT Retirement Solutions Growth Plan ("the TPT") (former the Pensions Trust) on behalf of its staff. USS is a contributory mixed benefit scheme (i.e. provides 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). Growth Plan Series 1-3 of the TPT are contributory defined benefit schemes and Growth Plan Series 4 of the TPT is a defined contribution scheme. The assets of USS and TPT are each held in separate trusteeadministered funds.

Both schemes 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 TPT, 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.

Both schemes have put in place agreements for additional contributions to fund their past service deficits. In accordance with the provisions of FRS 102 the College has recognised a liability for the future contributions that it estimates will be payable as a result of these deficit funding agreements.

The college has been adhering to the automatic enrolment regulations and making payments into either USS or TPT for eligible employees.

Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS)

The pension charge for the year includes £53,114 (2022: £524,387) in relation to the USS. This represents contributions of £140,824 (2022: £147,488) payable to the USS and adjusted by the positive change in the deficit funding liability between the opening and closing balance sheet dates of £87,710 (2022: negative change of £376,899).

Qualified actuaries periodically value the USS 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 the scheme. The financial assumptions were derived from market conditions prevailing at the valuation date. The results of the latest actuarial valuation and the assumptions which have the most significant effect on the results were:

b 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 by 0.1% p.a. to a long term difference of 0.1% p.a. from 2040.

c. The USS employer contribution rate includes provisions for the cost of future accrual of defined benefits, deficit contributions, administrative expenses and defined contributions

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:

assumptions used in these calculations are tabled below:
2022/23 2021/22
Finish Date for Deficit Recovery Plan 30/04/38 31/03/38
Average staff number increase 0.00% 0.00%
Average staff salary increase 5.00% 4.00%
Average discount rate over period 5.49% 3.34%
Effect of 0.5% change in discount rate £22k £28k
Effect of 1% change in staff growth £48k £62k

A provision of £622,290 has been made at 31 July 2023 (2022: £687,052) for the present value of the estimated future deficit funding element of the contributions payable under this agreement, using the assumptions shown. The provision reduces as the deficit is paid off according to the pension recovery scheme.

A copy of the full actuarial valuation report and other further details on the scheme are available on the USS website www.uss.co.uk

TPT Retirement Solutions (TPT)

The pension charge for the year includes a charge of £3,508 (2022: -£20,491) in relation to the TPT defined benefit scheme. This represents contributions of £6,782 (2022: £9,086) payable to the TPT and adjusted by the positive change in the deficit funding liability between the opening and closing balance sheet dates of £3,274 (2022: positive £29,577).

The scheme is subject to the funding legislation outlined in the Pensions Act 2004 which came into force on 30 December 2005. This, together with documents issued by the Pensions Regulator and Technical Actuarial Standards issued by the Financial Reporting Council, set out the framework for funding defined benefit occupational pension schemes in the UK.

The scheme is classified as a 'last-man standing arrangement'. Therefore the college is potentially liable for other participating employers' obligations if those employers are unable to meet their share of the scheme deficit following withdrawal from the scheme. Participating employers are legally required to meet their share of the scheme deficit on an annuity purchase basis on withdrawal from the scheme.

A full actuarial valuation for the scheme was carried out at 30 September 2020. This valuation showed assets of £800.3m, liabilities of £831.9m and a deficit of £31.6m. To eliminate this funding shortfall, the Trustee has asked the participating employers to pay additional contributions to the scheme as follows:

Deficit contributions

From 1 April 2022 to 31 January 2025: £3,312,000 per annum (payable monthly)

Unless a concession has been agreed with the Trustee the term to 31 January 2025 applies.

Note that the scheme’s previous valuation was carried out with an effective date of 30 September 2017. This valuation showed assets of £794.9m, liabilities of £926.4m and a deficit of £131.5m. To eliminate this funding shortfall, the Trustee asked the participating employers to pay additional contributions to the scheme as follows:

Deficit contributions

From 1 April 2019 to 30 September 2025: £11,243,000 per annum (payable monthly and increasing by 3% each on 1st April)

The recovery plan contributions are allocated to each participating employer in line with their estimated share of the Series 1 and Series 2 scheme liabilities.

35

Harris Manchester College Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 July 2023

Where the scheme is in deficit and where the company has agreed to a deficit funding arrangement the company recognises a liability for this obligation. The amount recognised is the net present value of the deficit reduction contributions payable under the agreement that relates to the deficit. The present value is calculated using the discount rate detailed in these disclosures. The unwinding of the discount rate is recognised as a finance cost.

A provision of £4,587 has been made at 31 July 2023 (2022: £7,673) for the present value of the estimated future deficit funding element of the contributions payable under this agreement. In determining the level of this provision it has been assumed that the College will continue to have a constant level of employee participation in this scheme and that the relevant earnings of these employees will increase in line with the actuary’s projected long-term salary rate increases.

Assumptions 31/07/2023 31/07/2022 31/07/2021
% per annum % per annum % per annum
Rate of discount 5.98 3.15 0.57

The discount rates shown above are the equivalent single discount rates which, when used to discount the future recovery plan contributions due, would give the same results as using a full AA corporate bond yield curve to discount the same recovery plan contributions.

Pension charge for the year

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

----- Start of picture text -----
Scheme 2023 2022
£000's £000's
Universities Superannuation Scheme 141 156
Pensions Trust Growth Plan Series 1 and 2 7 0
Pensions Trust Growth Plan Series 4 66 55
Total 214 211
----- End of picture text -----

These amounts include £66k 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 £33k (2022: £29k).

21 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. Accordingly no provision for taxation has been included in the financial statements.
