Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Hull Unlverslty Union Limited Auditor rgsponsibilitios for th• audil ofthe lknandal statements (cwtinu•d) Our approach lo thntrfying assessin9 t risks ofmaterwl rrisStatI in respecl of irregularrtw, including fraud an¢J non-complianee wrth IwN5 and regulalKJns. was fUSed on ¥secffj laws and regulations Wh we considered may have a direct rrAterial effeL on the charlty onty and consolidaled financial statements or the operations of the charitable company and the group, induding the COMpansACt 20(6. the Charit5 Act 2011. dats protecin, anti-bribery. enV)loynnl and health and safety leglatiOn. An understanding ol these Lffi¥s and regulatk)ns and the extent of compliance was c4)tsined Ihrough discussion with managem8nl and inspecting legal and regatory eorrespondence. We assessed the susceptitrj'lity of the charitable c(Nnpany's and ¢¢$01ted financ1 statements to material misstatement, including cl)taining an understsnding of ftaud mtght CCCLK, by making enquiries of man¥ment and CslerIng the intemal contrc4s in place lo mrfi'gale risks crf fraud and rth-cLJmpliartt wlh laws and reguLqtions. To address the risk of fraud through rnanagent tsas and overrpje of ¢ntrols. we performed analytical procedures to idenlrfy any unusual or unexFected retnShI)s", tested jwmal entrEs lo idenlty unusual translI05.. assessed whether judgements and assumplvJns made in determining the accounting eslirnates were indte of tent4 knas.. and investyt&J the fatmina behind signrfunt or unLssual Iransaclions.

Due to the inherent INmitations of an audit. there is a rtsk thatwe will not detect all irregularTiies. including those adIng to a material mi8Statement in the financial ststements or non-complian wrth regulation.

Hull Unlversity Union Limited Notes to the Flnancial Statements for the Year Ended 31 July 2023 Critlcal accounting estimatss and areas of judgement FRS102 makes the distin belween a grtyjp and a mutti-wnpk)yer scheme. A group plan consists of a collectson of enlrties under c¢¥nrn control with a 4)onsoring employer. A mullimpbyer scheme is a scheme for entrtte5 not under ccthmon conliol and preSentS {tyw¢ally) an induslry-wNle scheme such as UnNersitw SuFerannualb)n Scheme. The accounting for a mulli- employer scheme where the empbyer will fund a defut results in the recognrtion of a liability for the contributions payabte that arise from the agreement {to the extent that they rdale to the deficrtl and the resulting exFense in the profit and loss in aCcOrdar 7Mih Sect 28 of FRS102. The directots are satisfied thatthe scheme provkled by the unr1eS Syrannuat•)n Scheme meets the dèfinition of a mullpempbyer sctw)e and has therefore rer)Jgnised the dracounled fair value of the contractual CCtribUtIOnS under the funding plan in eXtste at the dale of approving the financial statements as a provisicfi. A key judgeThnl is a pr0vision1aral for future pensKM lbIlIt relating to the USS scheme. These reflect the known deficrt contribution scheduks lo which the entsty is due to pay in line with the ayreement between the entity and the pensKJn fund. The calculalKJn of this judgement is dependent upon certain assumptions including the kength of the defiul lepayrrftt scherre. 16 years, Ihe discount applicable lo the lime value d fulure money 3.37% and salary increases 5%. This results in a liability on the balan sheet of £441,346 for the group. If the length crf the dert was Ireas& by 1 year the liability would increase by £33,294 for the group. A change in salary increase variation of 1% would cause a change in liability of £36.509 for the group. A thange in salary increase of 1% along with an increase of 1.63% for the discount rates would produce a decrease in lbI1Y of £21,866 for the group.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Hull University Union Limited Audltor responsibilities for the audit of the flnaneial sLthments (continued) Our approach to identifying artd assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-¢omplonce wrth lavts and regUlatnS, was frrused on specifi¢ laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the charty only and consolidated financial statements or the operations of the charitatje company and the group, including the CompanEs Act 20Qb, the charit Act 2011. data protectn, anti-briLw. empbymenl and health and safety legislation. An understanding of these kws and regulations and the extent of o)mpliance was obtained through diUSon wth management and In$tIng legal and regulatory correspondence. We assessed the susceptib.llty of the thantable comFkiny's aThJ consolidat&Y financlal statements to material misstatement, induding obtaining an understanding of how fraud might CCUr. by making enquiries of management and consKlering the intemal contrds in plxe to mits'gate risks of fraud arKI non-compliance th laws and regulations. To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of contro15. we Ferfomied analytical prcreduw to identify any unusual or unexted relationships", tested ioumal entries lo identify unusual Irdnsactions,. assessed whether judgements and aWmpln5 made in delemiiniThJ the accounting eslimales were indicative of wtential tsas." and investsgated the rath)nale behind significant N unusual transactions.

Due to the inherent limitations of an audil, there is a risk that we 11 not detect all irreguLaritS, including those leading to a material misstaternent in the financial Statents or non-complian with regulation. This risk increases the more that Compln Vth a law or regulation is removed from the events aThJ transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we wll be less likely to become aware of instances of non-eompliance. Auditing standards also limil the audrt pr(Kedures required to idenbfy non- compliae wrth laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other managerr¢nt and the inspection of regulatory and *al correspM)ndence. if y. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities ¢xcurring due to fraud ratr£r than error, as fraud involves intentional Conalment. forgery, collusion. omissKJn, or misrepfesentation.

The directors are &iSfied that the scheme provmjed by the Universities su[trannuat Scheme meets the definition of a multi-employer scheme and has therefore recDJnised the discounted fair value of the contractual contributions under the furKling pkn in existen at the date of 4proving the finanoal slalements as a prow5n.

These refEecl the known deficrt eontribulion schedules to Nthich the entity is due lo pay in line wth the agreement between the entty and the pension fvnd. catulation of this judgement is deFendent upon certain 2ssumptiMs induding the length of the deficit repayment scheme, 16 years, the discount applicable to the time value of future money 3.37% and salary Increa 5%. This results in a liability on the balance sheet of £441,346 for the group. If the length of the defiett was increased by 1 year the lia.111Y would increase by £33,294 for the group. A ¢hange in salary increase variation of 1 % would use a charoe in liats'lity of £36,509 for the group. A change in salary increase of 1°h along wrf(h an increase of 1.630A for the discount rates wld prodwe a decrease in [bIlItY of £21,866 for the group.
