It includes an extensive programme of visits by schools lo the College, open days, admissions symposia for teachers, as well as visits to schools and guidance and infomation on the College website for prospective applicants. In agreement with the other Oxford colleges, the College has particular links with prospective applicants from Bimiingham and surrounding areas. In order to fulfil its charitsble purpose, the College employs a Warden. who seNes as head of the College, and, as Goveming Body Fellows. senior academic staff. many of whom supervise and tutor students. the College Chaplain. and senior administrative officers.

All Oxford undergraduates also take a qualifying examination {usuallyl in their first year.. 39 of the 120 students who sat the First Public Examination in 2023124 were awarded Distinctions. Excellence in the First Public Examination and sustained excellence in course work is recognised by the award of an undergraduate scholarship. Out of a total of 465 K8ble undergraduates, 121 studenls hold academic scholarships. In recognition of the fact that many of our incoming undergraduates experienced considerable disruption to their teaching and assessment at school, we appointed trained Study Skills tutors to support their transition from school to University and help ensure Ihat every student reallses their academlc ambitions.

FINANCIAL REVIEW Operations, capital expenditure and fundlng The charitable activities of the College consist of teaching and research. together with the provision of board and lodging to College members in buildings owned by the College, most of which are Grade 1 or Grade 2. listed. The income generated by Charitable Activities in 2023124 amounted to £10.91 m. an increase of £0.4m {3.7 % I cornpared to 2022123. Revenues from conferences increased against 2022123 by £0.2m {5.6Y.l. The modest increase in revenue reflects relatively high 2022123 occupancy levels and masks a significant change in mix of business the College has been targeting. most notably through the incorporation of intemational summer schools. The College is continuing to 8ssess opportunities to improve the profitability of this business given occupancy Constrainls due to the business being restricted to the vacation periods. Total income from Charitable Activities and Other trading income {including Ihe conference business) was £13.43m in 2023124 which was £0.7m {5.1 % ) higher than 2022123. The cost of undertaking charitable activities in 2023124 amounted to £14.22m. This amount was reduced by the impact of a £2.2m movement on provisions for defined benefit pension schemes (which is a non-cash costl- The cosl of undertaking charitable activities in the previous year. 2022123 was £14.82m including a £1.3m non-cash decrease in pension provisions. Adjusting for these non-cash provision movements. costs increased by £0.2m (1.2 % ) to £16.4m. The increase in operating costs is substantially below the increase in revenue, which reflects the efforts to improve profitabilty of the Conference Business and reduce operational costs where possible. Capital expenditure was £0.4m in 2023124 and was lower than forecasted due to the deferral of some Capital expenditure projects to 2024125 due to slippage of certain project timelines. Completion of a major mulli-year programme of investrnent in its buildings, plant and machinery. in 2019 allowed the College to limit spending on capital expenditure without risk lo the estate during the period of recovery from the pandemic. However, the College anticipates increasing capital expenditure in the coming years in order to rnaintain not only the VictOTian estat8 but also the HB Allen Centre together and to begin to reduce the College's carbon emissions and improve biodiversity. Donations received by the College in 2023124 totalled £7.5m12023124 £5.7ml. The composition of Ihls total was as follows- £QOO$ Unreslricled income gifts Restrtcted income gifts Gifts for capital projects Endowment gifts 5,042 731 22 1.745 7,540 Unrestricted income gifts in 2023124 included a single £4m legacy receipt and Governing Body wll be deciding whether to use these monies lo improve the College's general funds position or to allocate to them for some other purpose such as debt repayment or investrnent in certain projects. 10 KEBLE COLLEGE Report of the Governlng Body For the year ended 31 July 2024 The College invests its endowment for total return. 93% of the endowment is invested in the Oxford Endowment Fund ("OEF"), managed by Oxford University Endowment Management. The College usually applies a spending rule permitting a maximum transfer of 3.5¥0 of the average closing value of the endowment value over the previous five years. In 2023124 the 3.50/0 spending rule was applied and transfers under the spending rule for the year amounted to a distribution of £1.70m, including £61 k for external purposes (the support of Keble parishesl- Investmont policy. objectives and performan¢e The College's investment objectives are to balance current and future beneficlary needs by.. maintaining {al least) the value of the investments in real teTms', producing a consistent and sustainable amount to support expenditure,- and delivering these objectives within acceptable levels of risk.

In line with this approach. the College statutes allow the College to invest permanent endowments to maximise the related total return and to make available for expenditure each year an appropriate proportion of the unapplied total relum.

Goveming Body agreed that the larget amount for general ftjnds should be the equivalent of three months. expenditure on charitable objects (currenuy £4.1ml. The College entered the pandemic with significantly less buffer than this due to issues relating to the funding and completion of the HB Allen centre and the financial impact of the pandemic subsequently caused general fvnds to deteriorate to -£9.Om (negative) at 31 July 2020. Since then, the general funds position has shown continual improvement. Over the last 12 months general funds have increased by £S.Om from -£5.3m (negative) at 31 July 2022 to -£0.3m (negativel at 31 July 2023. This has been caused through the combination of improved profitability and unrestricted donations. £4m of this improvement is due to the receipt of a major legacy as noted earfier in this report.

FUTURE PLANS The strategic challenge is to consider how to invest in developing the academic activities of the College and in improving the College's sustainability metrics while continuing lo improve the financial position, including delivery of a long temi debt repayment plan. Whilst inflation has subsided there is an ongoing risk of above inflation pay increases in the labour market and the College must maintain its position as a desirable employer. The College will continue to monitor the impact of inflation on operating costs and on retention and recruitment of staff. Keble is also committed lo monitoring the cost of living for our students, and will provide support wherever possible. The confe￿nce business performance has continued improve and is now delivering slightly higher revenue than pr pandemic in nominal terms and approximately the same in real terms. The impact of high inflation is now baked into the cost base and profitability is still lower in real terms than pre-pandemic. However. the introduction of significant inlemational summer school business and a move away from short term bed and breakfast bookings has resulted in increased profitability in the current year which is anticipated to continue into the 24125 financial year. The College will review the impact of these business model changes and consider further changes lo maximise the return from the Confe￿nCe business. All non-essential capital projects were put on hold whilsl the College recovered from the pandemic. The College is now managing capital expenditure against a 5-year rolling capital expenditure plan that highlights several areas where significant expenditure is required, including kitchen operations and a new rolling programrne of student room refurbishment in certain ollege buildings. The College is also assessing cost-effective ways lo improve its carbon footprint, and a proportion of thè capital expenditure plan is allocated for investment in initiatives in this critical area. Sustainability is also being considered as part of each capital project. 15 KEBLE COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body For the year ended 31 July 2024 STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING RESPONSIBILITIES The Governing Body is responsible for preparing the Report of the Governing Body and Ihe financial slatemenls 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 United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law}, including Financial Reporting Slandard 102.. The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 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 ils net income or expenditure for thal period. In preparing these financial statements. the Governing Body is required to.. select the most suitable accounting policies and then apply them consislently., 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., state whether a Statement of Recommended Practice ISORP) applies and has been followed, subject lo any material departures which are explained in the financial statements.. prepare the financial statements on the going concem basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the College will continue to operate.

The financi81 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 Pracllce).

Basis for oplnlon We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) IISAS IUKII and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those slandards are further described in the Audilor'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 tr) our audit of the financial slalements in the UK, including Ihe FRC'S Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance wlh these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Conclusions relatlng to golng ¢on¢em In auditing the financial statements. we have concluded that the Members of Ihe Goveming Body's use of the going concem 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 monlhs from when the ff nancial 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 Ihe relevant sections of this report. Other information The Members of the Goveming 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 the￿On. Our opinion on the financial slatements does not cover the other infomiation and. except to the 8xtent otherwise explicitly slated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other infomiation and. in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statemenls or our kno￿edge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears lo 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 infomiation. If, based on the workwe have perfomied. we conclude that there is a malerial misstatement of Ihis other infomation. we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 17 KEBLE COLLEGE Independent Auditor's report to the Members of the Governing Body of Keble College For the year ended 31 July 2024 Matters on which we are requlred to report by ex¢eptlon We have nolhing to ￿port in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Ad 2011 requires us to report to you if. in our opinion.. sufficient accounting records have not been kept: the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns- or we have not obtained all the information and explanations necessary for the purposes of our audit. Responslbllltles of the Membors of the Governing Body As explained more fully in the Statement of Accounting and Reporting Responsibilities [set out on page 151, the Members of the Goveming 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 statemenls Ihat are free from material misstatement. whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements. the Members of the Goveming Body are responsible for assessing the ChaTity's ability to continue as a going concem. disclosing. as applicable, matters related to going concem and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Members of Ihe Governing Br)dy either intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic allernalive but to do so. Auditorfs responsibilities for the audlt of the flnancial 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 oblain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due lo fraud or error. and lo issue an auditorfs 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 ass&ssing 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 engagemenl team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations: we idenlified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through discussions with Members of the Governing Body and other management. and from our knowledge and experrence of the client's sector., we focused on specffic 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 legislalion., we assessed the exlent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and, where relevant, inspectSng legal cOrresponden￿- and identified laws and regulations were Communicaled 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 Goveming 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 conlrols in place to mitigale risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations., 18 KEBLE COLLEGE Independent Auditor's report to the Members of the Governlng Body of Keble College For the year ended 31 July 2024 To add￿sS the risk of fraud through manag8ment bias and override of controls, we.. perfomed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships- tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions., assessed whelherjudgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias.. and 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 lo underlying supporting documentation- reading the minutes of meetings of Ihose charged with govemance- enquiring of management as lo 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 il 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 misslatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involv6 deliberate concealment or collusion.

Fund a¢¢ounting The total funds of the College and its subsidiaries are allocated to unrestricted, restricted or endowment funds based on the terms sel by the donors orset by the temis of an appeal. Endowmentfunds are furthersub-divided into permanent and expendable. Unrestricted funds can be used in fvrtherance of the objects of the College at the discretion of Ihe Goveming 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. Reslricled fvnds 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 eifher gifts where the donor has specified that both the capital and any income arising must be used forthe purposes given orthe 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 specifi¢ purposes within the College's objects. Pemianenl endowment fiJnds 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 Ihe 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 restrtcled 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 detemiine to Spend all or part of the capital. 16.
