Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2023
1 Charity status
The charity is owned by Cornell University, a USA non-for-profit organization. However, it is controlled by Trustees, who are all directors of the charity. Cornell University is dedicated to a mission of learning, discovery and engagement. Consolidated accounts can be obtained from Cornell University, 341 Pine Tree Road, Ithaca, New York 14850-2820.
2 Accounting policies
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102) Revised), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).They also comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011.
General information and basis of preparation
Cornell University Foundation (UK) Limited is a charitable company limited by share capital, incorporated in England. The address of its registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activities are given on page 2.
The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognized at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
The financial statements are presented in pound sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £1.
Going concern
The Charity’s Financial Statements show total income of £ 98,367 (2022: - £862,043) for the year and total reserves of £1,932 (2022: £135). The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these financial statements with respect to a period of at least one year from the date of approval of these financial statements including considering the impact of Ukraine crisis and Cost of living on the charity's income, expenditure and reserves; and its beneficiaries. They have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern and are fully engaged on a strategy to create a sustainable and resilient organisation during challenging times. The Charity continues to have financial support from its parent company (Cornell University based in USA). Therefore the trustees are of opinion that the financial statements for the year ended June 2023 can be prepared on a going concern basis.
Income and endowments
All income is recognized once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.
Page 10
Cornell University Foundation (UK) Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2023
Donations and legacies
Donations are recognized when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognized until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Gift aid
Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the Statement of Financial Activities at the same time as the gift to which they relate.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognized once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading those aggregates similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them, and includes irrecoverable VAT.
Grant provisions
Provision for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is an uncertainty about either the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable.
Support costs
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Debtors
Other debtors are amounts due from HMRC in respect of gift aid due on donations.
Page 11
Cornell University Foundation (UK) Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2023
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Creditors
Creditors are grants due to Cornell University that have not yet been transferred.
Foreign exchange
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate of exchange at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are reported at the rates of exchange prevailing at that date.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
Significant Judgments and Estimates
In the application of the company's accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Financial instruments
Classification
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.
Recognition and measurement
All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Page 12
Cornell University Foundation (UK) Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2023
Financial assets and liabilities are offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when, there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Financial assets are derecognized when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party.
Financial liabilities are derecognized only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
Fair value measurement
The best evidence of fair value is a quoted price for an identical asset in an active market. When quoted prices are unavailable, the price of a recent transaction for an identical asset provides evidence of fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances or a significant lapse of time since the transaction took place. If the market is not active and recent transactions of an identical asset on their own are not a good estimate of fair value, the fair value is estimated by using a valuation technique.
