MANSFIELD COLLEGE
The members of the Governing Body present their Annual Report for the year ended 31 July 2024 under the Charities Act 2011, together with the audited Financial Statements for the year.
REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION
Mansfield College (“the College”), is an eleemosynary chartered charitable corporation aggregate. It was founded in 1886 as a theological non-conformist training college and received its Royal Charter in 1995.
The College registered with the Charities Commission on 20 September 2011 (registered number 1143860).
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 set out on pages 2-3.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing documents
The College is governed by its Charter and Statutes dated 11 April 1995.
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, the Chancellor of the University of Oxford. The Governing Body is self-appointing. New members are elected on the basis of Statutes I and IV which define the categories of Fellows. The Governing Body is ultimately responsible for the strategic direction of the College, and for the management and administration of its finances and assets. It meets regularly under the chairmanship of the Principal and is advised by two main committees.
Recruitment and training of members of the Governing Body
New members of the Governing Body are recruited either as joint appointments with the University, as College-only appointments or as Professorial Fellows. They are inducted into the workings of the College, including Governing Body policy and procedures, through comprehensive briefings from senior staff.
Remuneration of members of the Governing Body and senior College Staff
Members of the Governing Body are primarily Fellows who are also teaching and research employees of the College and/or the University of Oxford and receive no remuneration or benefits in their capacity as trustees 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 Remuneration Committee. Where applicable, remuneration is set in line with that awarded to the University’s academic staff.

-
The Finance and Resources Committee (FRC) reviews the College’s financial performance on a regular basis and makes recommendations to the Governing Body on the annual budget and financial policy. It also considers a range of other related matters including investments, development activity and performance, audit, personnel and operational matters.
-
The Academic Policy Committee (APC) considers academic policies and, if approved by the Governing Body, oversees their implementation, including access activity, admissions, teaching provision and the progress of undergraduates and graduates.
The day-to-day running of the College is delegated to the senior staff of the College.
Group structure and relationships
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.

aims as above.
Public beneft
The Governing Body has considered and given due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. The College provides public benefit by offering higher education to its undergraduates and postgraduates purely based on academic merit. The education of undergraduates is enhanced by the tutorial system, which provides for undergraduates to meet with their tutor on a regular basis. The tutor is responsible for their students’ academic progress and pastoral care. Postgraduate student members are supported by a College Fellow who acts as their College Adviser, dedicated to monitoring and developing their progress, as well as dealing with any pastoral issues. For undergraduates and graduates, tutors and Advisers are supported by the College’s welfare team. The College also provides the College Library and Reading Rooms for students’ use, as well as computing facilities, accommodation, food and other resources, often at subsidised rates.
the College, financial support is made available from the College’s own hardship funds and from grants awarded by the University. In addition, the College supports students in their studies through grants to cover, inter alia, the purchase of books, travel and research expenses. This support is in addition to that available from the University of Oxford through the Oxford Bursary scheme, in which the College also participates.
In total during the year, the College made bursary and hardship awards totalling £61k (2023: £70k), including £46k (2023: £56k) under the Oxford Bursary scheme. Some of those students in the Oxford Bursary scheme also received fee waivers amounting to £36k (2023: £23k).
The College gave scholarships, prizes and other grants during the year totalling £486k (2023: £263k).
Among the numerous scholarships awarded by the College, many in partnership with University initiatives and programmes, Mansfield welcomes a dedicated Sanctuary Scholar, for a student whose education has been disrupted by forced migration. Thanks to generous support from alumni and the Council of Lutheran Churches we have welcomed multiple Sanctuary Scholars to Mansfield since 2021. Mansfield was also a participating college in the University of Oxford’s Graduate Scheme for Ukraine Refugees, which was developed in record time in response to the invasion .
University’s programme to offer UK Black and Mixed Black students financial support to pursue graduate study at Oxford. This is one of a series of scholarship programmes to address under-representation and help improve equality, diversity and inclusion in Oxford’s graduate student body.

the Weidenfeld-Hoffmann graduate programme. These scholarships have been named for the former Secretary-General of the United Nations and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Kofi Annan (1938-2018), who opened the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights at Mansfield in June 2018. The Weidenfeld-Hoffmann Scholarships and Leadership Programme within Oxford University aims to provide outstanding university graduates and professionals from developing and emerging economies with the opportunity to pursue study at Oxford. In addition to their studies, the graduates participate in a tailor-made leadership programme to give them additional practical skills and opportunities. The Kofi Annan Scholarships at Mansfield have been made possible thanks to the generosity of a Mansfield alumnus.
The College also awarded a Reach Scholarship for an undergraduate from a low-income country who would not be able to attend the University without significant financial support. The College, together with individual members of the senior, middle and junior common rooms, contributed to the Reach Scholar’s full tuition fees and living costs.

seekers. The workshop series aims to support refugees and asylum seekers to overcome personal and intellectual limbo by linking Oxford mathematicians and mathematicians from refugee backgrounds. They also offer support in pursuing maths-based careers in the UK, including data sciences and statistics, different industry sectors, education and teaching. The initiative first began as a pilot scheme of informal workshops delivered during lockdown last year in partnership with Oxford Charity, Asylum Welcome. The feedback received from these sessions was very positive and the project is now expanding across the UK.
Access and Outreach
The College continues to be active in carrying out access work with schools and colleges in its link regions and attracts students from diverse backgrounds. Significant time and resources are devoted to outreach activities to encourage applicants from underrepresented groups and non-traditional backgrounds. The post of McBain Access Officer at the College has been fully endowed thanks to a donation from an alumnus in 2021/22. Bursaries and grants are often made in support of widening access.
The College’s success in this respect is demonstrated by the proportion of its UK undergraduates who are educated in the maintained sector. In recent years, including the year under review, this has been between 90% and 95% of its UK undergraduate admissions. This continues to be considerably higher than the University of Oxford average.
Activities and Objectives of the College
During the year, 514 undergraduates, graduates and visiting students from all parts of the UK and throughout the world benefitted from the educational opportunities provided by the College.
of a regular Christian service, together with other services of a Christian nature such as the annual Christmas carol service. The Chaplain also supports the College’s welfare provision.
Strategic Objectives
In June 2020, the Governing Body agreed a new Strategic Plan covering the period through to 2040. This summarises the College’s culture and core values, the strategic objectives which flow from them and identifies priority actions over the next 5 years to achieve the strategic objectives.
The strategic objectives are:
- Academic excellence: to continue, secure and enhance the development and sharing of knowledge, ideas and expertise so as to strengthen the teaching and research which are our core functions;

This has been a landmark year in Development and Alumni Relations, with the launch of the most significant fundraising campaign in Mansfield’s history alongside the announcement of a cornerstone donation in support of all areas of the College’s work.
The campaign was launched in early March 2024, at a special event held at the London Stock Exchange (venue provided thanks to alumnus James Pearson (PPE, 1993). We also launched the campaign in New York in May 2024 generously hosted by alumnus Josh Weisenbeck (VSP, 2002) and his wife Janine.
The campaign is the most ambitious and furthest-reaching in the College’s history – aiming to endow the College’s core teaching, research, and operational posts (“People”), raise the capital required for a transformational redevelopment of the college site (“Place”), and both secure and enhance our access and student support provision (“Culture”).
Announcements on social media and our website happened concurrently to the launch. The College magazine, which this year was a bumper ‘Campaign Edition’ was also circulated the same month.
The public launch of the campaign followed an extensive and successful “quiet phase” which culminated in a landmark donation of £25 million from Chris Foster (Maths, 1997). With his gift – the largest in Mansfield’s history – Chris sought to support all three pillars of the campaign, ensuring that Mansfield becomes fully-equipped to find and support generations of students to come.
response from alumni and well beyond – receiving significant positive attention on social media, and resulting in the Principal being interviewed in the national press and national and international broadcast media. Key media pieces included the Guardian, the Times, an interview on Sky News, and featuring in a documentary on ARD German Television.
As of September 2024, £46 million has been given or pledged in support of the campaign (since 2019/20) - exclusive of gifts pledged in supporters’ wills. The College is deeply grateful to all of the alumni and others who continue to support it.
professional staff in the Development team to act on its behalf in this area and to ensure that it is compliant with the Code of Fundraising Practice. Training is given to Development team staff to ensure that they are aware of and follow the Code.
During the year, the College did not receive any complaints relating to its fundraising activities.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial result
The College set a prudent budget for the year taking into account pay settlements and general inflation. The Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities shows net incoming after investment gains of £2.99m (2022/23: net income £27.3.m).
11
MANSFIELD COLLEGE
Governing Body, O�cers and Advisers Year Ended 31 July 2024
Income
Income from charitable activities of £5.5m (2022/23: £5.3m) comprises tuition fees from UK, EU and overseas students, support from the Office for Students and other academic income, and College residential income. Other trading income of £1.3m up slightly from £1.2m in 22/23 marked a continued improvement in activity against budget. Total donations and legacies of £1.8m made a valued contribution to the new fund-raising campaign, ‘For Mansfield, For Ever’ thanks to our generous benefactors. Investment income of £2.4m (£1.1m in 2022/23) reflected the significant increase in endowment at the end of the previous year. The College recorded other income of £80k (2022/23: £100k), which included the lease and service charge from the BIHR and income from summer schools.
Expenditure
impacted, it was offset to an extent by savings on expenditure arising from better procurement and savings arising from staff vacancies that were difficult to recruit to in a continued restricted job market. In addition, the liability for the defined benefit pension scheme that we had been holding on the balance sheet in previous years was released as advised by the scheme administrators at the year end.
Within the year the College extended a feasibility study and completed an estate strategy to transform its Mansfield Road site. These costs have been capitalised under assets under construction at Note 10 to the accounts. At the end of the year, the Governing Body confirmed progression to RIBA stage 2, the concept design phase which will conclude at the end of the 2024 calendar year.
statements.
Gains/Losses on Investments
The College ‘s investments are managed by Oxford University Endowment Management Limited, CCLA and HSBC Private Bank. As disclosed in Note 11 to the financial statements, the value of the investments increased by a net £19.8m from £24.6m in 2022/23.
Consolidated Balance Sheet
Net assets as at 31st July 2024 were £71.1m (2023: £68.1m). The College held restricted funds of £28.6m (2023: £28.9m) and designated funds of £18.8m (2023: £18.4m). The defined benefit pension scheme liability of £1.3m was released in the year reflecting the latest actuarial assessment of the value of investment assets measured against the estimated future liabilities of the College’s share of the scheme.
Reserves Policy
short-term financial obligations in the event of an unexpected revenue shortfall, to allow the College to be managed efficiently and to provide a buffer that would ensure uninterrupted services. Although the financial position improved in 23/24, the College continued not to have any free reserves at the year end. However, sufficient working capital was available from the

MANSFIELD COLLEGE
Governing Body, O�cers and Advisers Year Ended 31 July 2024
College’s £6m revolving credit facility arranged with its bank, HSBC should it be required. The College did not have to use the facility during the year.
The negative general funds position at the year-end improved from £2.5m in 2022/23 to £1.6m at the end of 2023/24.
Restricted funds at the year end fell marginally from £28.9m to £28.6m.
from £18.4m in 22/23 to £18.8m at the end of the year 2023/24.
The Trustees recognise that the absence of free reserves needs to be addressed in the coming years to achieve the College’s reserves policy. The aim is to do this by generating unrestricted surpluses. The Governing Body is working through a potential development project feasibility proposal that aims to achieve a sustainable financial growth plan that will enable the College to re-set its financial operating model.

The College understands that these 13 strategic risks have in some cases negative implications were they to arise. However, some of the risks also present opportunities for the College. In the coming months the College will seek to ensure that these risks will continue to be managed including:
That the key control environment is effective – the key controls exist, are consistently applied and that they achieve the desired outcome.
That actions being pursued to improve the management of the risk are suitably progressed and they achieve the desired outcome.
The key control environment consists of the following main components:
-
Policies and procedures.
-
Risk assessments.
-
Action plans.
-
Performance measurement.
-
Learning and development; and
-
Visibility and oversight.

STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING RESPONSIBILITIES
The Governing Body is responsible for preparing the Report of the Governing Body and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Charity law requires the Governing Body to prepare Financial Statements for each financial year. Under that law the Governing Body has prepared the Financial Statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). Under charity law the Governing Body must not approve the financial statements unless it is satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the College and of its net income or expenditure for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Governing Body is required to:
Select the most suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
-
Make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
-
State whether applicable accounting standards, including FRS 102, have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Mansfield College (the “Charity”) for the year ended 31 July 2024 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 notes to the financial statements. 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).
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the group and charity’s affairs as at 31 July 2024 and of the group’s income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Members of the Governing Body’s use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 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 Members of 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

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.
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:
-
we have not obtained all the information and explanations necessary for the purposes of our audit.
Responsibilities of the Members of the Governing Body
As explained more fully in the Statement of Accounting and Reporting Responsibilities set out on page 15, the Members of the Governing Body 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 they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
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 Members of 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 fnancial 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:
-
the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations;
-
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through discussions with Members of the Governing Body and other management, and from our knowledge and experience of the client’s sector;
-
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:
-
making enquiries of Members of Governing Body and other management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
-
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and noncompliance with laws and regulations;
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
-
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
-
tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
-
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and
20
MANSFIELD COLLEGE
Year Ended 31 July 2024
- investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions;
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
-
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
-
reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
-
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims;
-
if considered necessary, reviewing correspondence with relevant regulators and the company’s legal advisors.
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, as a 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 Members of 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’s Governing Body as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

MANSFIELD COLLEGE
Statement of Accoun�ng Policies Year Ended 31 July 2024
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 subsidiary Mansfield College Developments Limited. The subsidiary has been consolidated from the date of its formation being the date from which the College has exercised control through voting rights in the subsidiary. 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 the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary 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).
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)).
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.
There are no material uncertainties about going concern.
- Accounting judgements and estimation uncertainty
The College has used the methodologies provided by the Universities Superannuation Scheme and the Oxford Staff Pension Scheme to calculate its share of the deficits of these two schemes. This calculation therefore embodies major judgements made by the trustees of the schemes as to the actions required
In the view of the Governing Body, no assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year.
4. Income recognition
All income is recognised once the College has entitlement to the income, the economic benefit is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.
- a. Income from fees, Offce for Students support and other charges for services
MANSFIELD COLLEGE Statement of Accoun�ng Policies Year Ended 31 July 2024
Fees receivable, less any scholarships, bursaries or other allowances granted from the College’s 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
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 permanent 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.
rate method.
Dividend income and similar distributions are recognised on the date the share interest becomes ex-dividend or when the right to the dividend can be established.
Income from investment properties is recognised in the period to which the rental income relates.
- 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.
23
MANSFIELD COLLEGE Statement of Accoun�ng Policies Year Ended 31 July 2024
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 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 subsidiary are excluded from trading income and expenditure in the consolidated financial statements.
- 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 are 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.
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.
- Tangible fxed 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, construction and enhancement of buildings which is directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use, and expenditure on equipment, amounting to more than £1,500 is capitalised.
Where a part of a building or equipment is replaced and the costs capitalised, the carrying value of those parts replaced is de-recognised 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.
24
MANSFIELD COLLEGE Statement of Accoun�ng Policies Year Ended 31 July 2024
8. Depreciation
less their estimated residual value, in equal annual instalments over their expected useful economic lives as follows:
Freehold properties, including major extensions 50 years
Leasehold properties Period of lease Building improvements 10 years Equipment 3 years
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.
- Heritage Assets
The College does not have any heritage assets.
10. Investments
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.
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 fnancial 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 payments 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 and its subsidiaries is the pound sterling.
25
MANSFIELD COLLEGE Statement of Accoun�ng Policies Year Ended 31 July 2024
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies during the year are translated into pounds sterling using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
14. 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 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 University of Oxford Staff Pension Scheme. These schemes are hybrid pension schemes, providing defined benefits as well as benefits based on defined contributions. The assets of each scheme are held in a separate trusteeadministered 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
26
MANSFIELD COLLEGE Statement of Accoun�ng Policies Year Ended 31 July 2024
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.
16. Agency arrangements
The college acts as agent in investing monies for the G B Caird Memorial Trust. Income and expenditure relating to this investment is excluded from the statement of financial activities as the College does not have control over the charitable application of the funds. The funds received and paid, and any balances held, are disclosed in note 28.

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.

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 academic services they provide to the College.
Trustees of the College fall into the following categories:
Head of House
Professorial Fellow Official Fellow Supernumerary Fellow
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. These salaries are paid on external academic and academic-related scales and often are joint arrangements with the University of Oxford.
Some Trustees are eligible for a Housing Allowance, which is disclosed within the salary figures below.
The College has a Remuneration Committee which makes recommendations to Governing Body on pay and benefits which are outside of external scales. The Remuneration Committee has a membership that is completely external to that of Governing Body.

20 PENSION SCHEMES
Schemes accounted for under FRS 102 as defined contribution schemes Deficit Recovery Plans
For USS , a deficit recovery plan was put in place as part of the 2020 valuation, which required payment of 6.2% of salaries over the period 1 April 2022 until 31 March 2024, at which point the rate would increase to 6.3%. No deficit recovery plan was required under the 2023 valuation because the scheme was in surplus on a technical provisions basis. The College was no longer required to make deficit recovery contributions from 1 January 2024 and accordingly released the outstanding provision to the income and expenditure account. The latest available complete actuarial valuation of the Retirement Income Builder is as at 31 March 2023 (the valuation date), which was carried out using the projected unit method.
At 31 July 2023, the College’s balance sheet included a liability of £1,294k for future contributions ~~,~~ following the 2020 valuation when the scheme was in deficit. No deficit recovery plan was required from the 2023 valuation, because the scheme was in surplus. Changes to contribution rates were implemented from 1 January 2024 and from that date the College was no longer required to make deficit recovery contributions. The remaining liability of £1,294k was released to the income and expenditure account.
The 2023 valuation was the seventh valuation for the scheme under the scheme-specific funding regime introduced by the Pensions Act 2004, which requires schemes to have sufficient and appropriate assets to cover their technical provisions (the statutory funding objective). At the valuation date, the value of the assets of the scheme was £73.1 billion and the value of the scheme’s technical provisions was £65.7 billion indicating a surplus of £7.4 billion and a funding ratio of 111%.
The key financial assumptions used in the 2023 valuation are described below.
----- Start of picture text -----
Term dependent rates in line with the difference between the Fixed Interest and Index Linked yield curves less: 1.0%
CPI assumption
p.a. to 2030, reducing linearly by 0.1% p.a. from 2030.
Benefits with no cap: CPI assumption plus 3bps Benefits subject to a “soft cap” of 5% (providing inflationary increases
Pension increases (subject to a floor of 0%) up to 5%, and half of any excess inflation over 5% up to a maximum of 10%): CPI assumption minus 3bps
Fixed interest gilt yield curve plus:
Discount rate (forward rates) Pre-retirement: 2.5% p.a.
Post-retirement: 0.9% p.a.
The main demographic assumptions used relate to the mortality assumptions. These assumptions are based on analysis of the scheme’s experience carried out as part of the
2023 actuarial valuation. The mortality assumptions used in these figures are as follows:
Mortality base table 101% of S2PMA “light” for males and 95% of S3PFA for females
CMI 2021 with a smoothing parameter of 7.5, an initial addition of 0.4% p.a. and a long-term
improvement rate of 1.8% pa for males and 1.6% pa for females
Future improvements to mortality
The current life expectancies on retirement at age 65 are:
2024 2023
Males currently aged 65 (years) 23.7 24
Females currently aged 65 (years) 25.6 25.6
Males currently aged 45 (years) 25.4 26
Females currently aged 45 (years) 27.2 27.4
University of Oxford Staff Pension Scheme
----- End of picture text -----
The University of Oxford Staff Pension Scheme (OSPS) is a multi-employer hybrid scheme set up under trust and sponsored by the University. It is the pension scheme for support staff at the University, participating colleges and other related employers. New members joining the scheme build up benefits on a defined contribution basis. Members who joined before 1st October 2017 build up benefits on a career average revalued earnings basis
The latest full actuarial valuation for the OSPS scheme was completed as at 31 March 2022. The funding position of this scheme has improved significantly moving from deficit of £113m to a surplus of £47m at the valuation date. As a result, the recovery plan agreed at the last valuation is no longer required and the deficit contribution ended on 30th September 2023. A provision of £1.2m was made at 31 July 2023 (2022: £2.3m) to account for deficit recovery payments up to 30th September 2023. That remaining liability of £1.2m was released to the income and expenditure account in 2024.
The Trustee and the University have agreed a new contribution schedule which took effect from 1 October 2023 and takes account of the benefit improvements and changes to member contributions since the last valuation date. It was agreed that the scheme will meet its own running costs from the scheme's assets, including expenses relating to both the DB and DC Sections and the cost of pension Protection Fund /other statutory levies
The table below summarises the key actuarial assumptions. Further details of the assumptions are set out in the statement of funding principles dated 27 June 2023 and can be found at https://finance.admin.ox.ac.uk/osps-documents
Date of valuation: 31/03/2022 Value of liabilities: £914m Value of assets: £961m Funding surplus / (deficit): £47m

----- End of picture text -----
The College is aware of the Virgin Media v NTL Pensions Trustees II Limited Court of Appeal judgement which may give rise to adjustments to schemes. At present the legal process is incomplete and therefore we are unable to quantify any potential liabilities in 2024.
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:
| Scheme Universities Superannuation Scheme University of Oxford Staff Pension Scheme Total |
2024 £'000 319 194 513 |
2023 £'000 321 242 563 |
|---|---|---|
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. No liability to corporation tax arises in the College's subsidiary company because the directors of this company 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.
