In auditing the financial slalements, we have c4)ncluded that the trustees use ofthe g)ing concem basis
of accounting in the preparat￿ of ihe finanaal ststanents is appropriate.
Based on the wryk we have perf0m￿, we have Th)t id8ntrf*d any material uncertainties relating lo
events or conditions that, indNhdualty CY col*tNety. may cast sb3nrfi￿nI doubt on the group's ability lo
onlinue as a going concem for a peri￿ of al least trRfve months from when the orNJinal finan¢ial
statements We￿ aulhorised for issue.
Our responsibilities arKI the ￿Sp?￿sbil￿tles of the trustees with respect to gcrfng cxjncem are deFKribed

opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other infomalh)n and. except lo the extent
othemise explicrtty slated in our reFOrt. do not express any fomi of assurance CC￿￿uS10n thereon.
In conneth.on wrth our audit of Ihefinancaal slater￿lI& our responsibilty is to read the other infcxmation
and, in doing so. consider whether the other infomiabon is materialty inconsistent wrth the financial
statements or our knowledge obtsined in Ihe audit or otherwise appears lo be maleriauy misstated. If
we identify such material inconsK8tences or apparent material misstslemenls, we are rouired to
detemiine whether there is a matenal misstslemenl in the financial statements or a material
misstatement of the other info￿ation. If, based cffl thework we have performed. we conclude that there

Respon$lb51itiK of trusts
As expL4ined more fulty in the Slaterwil of Trustees Resp)nsibilit*s. the twstees (who are also the
d1￿Clor5 of the Charitab￿ company for Ihe PufF¢)ses of o)mpany I￿) are ￿SpOnsible for the

In preparing the financial statements, ￿ trustees a￿ reswnsiNe for assessing the charitable

Auditor responsibililles for the audit of tho financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assuran￿ about whether the financial statements as a whde
are freè from material mis5tstanenl, whether due to fraud or errcw, and to issue an auditor's rep)rt that
indudes our wnion. Reasonable assurance is a high *1 of assurance. bul is not a guarantee that an
audit ￿ndUCted in accordance with ISAS (UK) wll a￿ayS ¢Yele¢t a material misstatement when it exi51s.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are cx>nsidered material rf. indivklualty or in the
aggregate, they coukl reasonabty te expected to Influen￿ economic dectsion$ of users L*en on
the basts of these fmanoal slalements.
The extent to whKh our procedures are cap*e of detects.ng wreguLqrittes. induding fraud is detailed

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance wilh and regulalions. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilrties, outlin&J above. to detect material misstatements in res￿1

Auditor rgsponsibilitios for th• audil ofthe lknandal statements (cwtinu•d)
Our approach lo thntrfying assessin9 t￿ risks ofmaterwl rrisStat￿I in respecl of irregularrtw,
including fraud an¢J non-complianee wrth IwN5 and regulalKJns. was f￿USed 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
COMpan￿sACt 20(6. the Charit*5 Act 2011. dats proteci￿n, anti-bribery. enV)loyn￿nl and health and
safety leg￿latiOn. 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 reg￿atory eorrespondence.
We assessed the susceptitrj'lity of the charitable c(Nnpany's and ¢¢￿$01￿ted financ￿1 statements to
material misstatement, including cl)taining an understsnding of ftaud mtght CCCLK, by making
enquiries of man¥ment and C￿s￿lerIng the intemal contrc4s in place lo mrfi'gale risks crf fraud and
rth-cLJmpliartt wlh laws and reguLqtions.
To address the risk of fraud through rnanage￿￿nt tsas and overrpje of ¢*ntrols. we performed analytical
procedures to idenlrfy any unusual or unexFected re￿t￿nShI)s", tested jwmal entrEs lo idenlty unusual
trans￿lI0￿5.. assessed whether judgements and assumplvJns made in determining the accounting
eslirnates were ind￿t￿e of ￿tent￿4 knas.. and investyt&J the fatmina￿ behind signrfunt or unLssual
Iransaclions.
In resFxxtse lo the risk cl irregulanties and rbon-compfrance with Ithvs and regulalKy￿, we desKJned
procedures whth included. bul were not limrted to agieeing charity only and consDIKlaled financial
statement di$¢l¢)sures to undetying supporting ¢knJmenlatKJn' r&iding the minute5 of meetings of
those charged with governance", enquiring of management as lo actual and wtentsal lrtigation and
claims," and reviewring COrresp￿dence wrth HMRC, reknnt regulators and the chartsble company's
gal advisots.
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.
This risk in¢￿aseS the more that cxJmplkanrE or ￿ulatiOn is removed ffom Ihe events and
transaction5 refiected in the financkql stslements. as we will be *s likely to become aware of instsnces
non-cornplrdn￿. Auditing slan¢Jards aLso limrt the audit procedures required lo identfy non-
complianc£ wrth law5 and regulalw)ns to enquiry of the directors and other man&Jemenl and the
inspection of regulatory arKI legal eorre5pondence, rf *y.
The risk is also greater regarding Irregularit￿ ctcurriThJ due to fraud ratherthan error. 8sfraud ¥)volves
inlent¢onal concealrnent. forgery. collusKJn. omissKJn. or misrepresentakn.
A further descrpt￿n of resp)nsib￿1ti.es for the aLhJrt of the financkil statements is knated on the

Critlcal accounting estimatss and areas of judgement
FRS102 makes the disti￿n belween a grtyjp and a mutti-wnpk)yer scheme. A group plan consists
of a collectson of enlrties under c¢¥nr￿n control with a 4)onsoring employer.
A mulli*mpbyer 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 unr1e￿￿*S Syrannuat•)n Scheme meets
the dèfinition of a mullpempbyer sctw)e and has therefore rer)Jgnised the dracounled fair value of the
contractual CC￿tribUtIOnS under the funding plan in eXtste￿ at the dale of approving the financial
statements as a provisicfi.
A key judgeTh*nl is a pr0vision1a￿r￿al for future pensKM l￿bIlIt￿ 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 lepayrr￿ftt 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 der￿t was Ir￿eas&￿ 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 l￿bI1￿Y of £21,866 for the group.
Vvhilsl acknowledging these amemalive SCenarK￿ exist management are of the view that the
assumptr'ons applied reflect ts krK>wn gtuatw at ￿ balance sheet date.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Summary of the Year
There has been an overall positive nel movement in funds of £1k ¢ompared to a negative movement of £526k
in 2022. Total Ir￿ome for the year was £6.45m compared to £5.29m in 2022. The Universty subvention was
£1.47m compared to £1.4m in 2022. Our cx)mmercial operation hJJ a very successful year with sales at
£4.62m Compared to £3.53m in 2022. Total exFwNJilure was £6.41m c£rfnP￿￿￿ to £5.84m in 2022.
The Trustees have recc¥gnised a requirement lo hc+J free reserwes as a conliThJency to protect the day lo day
and short-lem financBI Stat￿lty of the organisation. This may cKcur rf there is a one off or series of events
that threatens our key incOff￿ sources. The Fo1￿y, revithved in July 2023. is to hokl £1.2m of free resetves to
meet 6 months of oFerating cA)sts of the group to recover. alkny the ￿ganiSation to manage the impact of a
reduction in income and pul plans in F4xe to ensure that financial sustainatx.lity is maintained. Annually, the
Tr¥Jstees will assess the need to desKJnate some of the free reserves to invest in projects to deliver the strategic
plan. The reserves position as at 31st July 2023 ￿ £2.07m of £574k is allocated to tangible fi'xed assets
leawng £1.49m of free reserves.
Invèstrnent poli¢y and obie¢tives

of the Union stated above. Long temi investments are to be m&Je on the adv￿ of a man￿er who is regulated
under the terms of the Finartial Semces Act 1986. The Trustees are resFonsible for appointing a Manager.
Any deosions by Trustees lo invest tre centred on the inleresls of HUSU ancl noi of the Trustees.
Twstee$ may not exelude, to the finarrial detriment of HUSU. a partKular range or class of investments in
order to give effe¢t to some moral. polit]'cal. social. envircmmental or ethical bdief held by the Trustees but not
directly ￿lated to the interests of the Union.
Plans for future periods
Over the next 12 months, the Board of Trustees will le￿ on the developrnent of a revised strategy taking HUU
to 2030, which will be launched at the start of 2024-25 Academic year. Over the course of the next 12 months

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 regUlat￿nS, 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 protect￿n, anti-briLw. empbymenl and health and
safety legislation. An understanding of these kws and regulations and the extent of o)mpliance was
obtained through di￿US￿on 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 C￿CUr. 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 unex￿ted relationships", tested ioumal entries lo identify unusual
Irdnsactions,. assessed whether judgements and aWmpl￿n5 made in delemiiniThJ the accounting
eslimales were indicative of wtential tsas." and investsgated the rath)nale behind significant N unusual

In response to the risk of irregularities and rK)n-compfiarKe laws regulations. V+e designed

Due to the inherent limitations of an audil, there is a risk that we ￿11 not detect all irreguLarit￿S, including
those leading to a material misstaternent in the financial State￿nts or non-complian￿ with regulation.
This risk increases the more that Compl￿n￿ V￿th 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-
complia￿e 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

Criti¢al a¢counting eslimates and areas of jUdg￿lent
FRS102 makes the distincb.on bew a group aThJ a mutti*mployer scheme. A group Klan ¢onsists
of a collection of entit￿$ urKkr comn￿l o)ntrd typically with a sponsoring employer.
A mulliemployer scheme is a scheme for entit* rL)t under Common conlrd and repwnts (typically)
an industry-wide scheme such as UnNwsilies superannuat￿ Scheme. The accounting fcf a multi-
employer scheme where the emFtyer will fund a def￿t results in the reccgnition of a liabilrty for the
contributions payable that arise from the &Jreen￿t Ilo the extenl that they relate lo the deficit) and the
resulting exFense in the profft and loss in &Corda￿e syith ￿tIOn 28 of FRS102.
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 prow5￿n.
A key judgement is a [Kovis￿nlaccrVa1 for future pensKm Ipbilit￿ relating lo the USS scheme. 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 w￿ld prodwe a decrease in [￿bIlItY of £21,866 for the group.
Whilst aCkno￿edgIng these altemative scenarios exist managevrent are of the view that Ihe
assumptions applied refiect the knchvn situah)n at the balance sheet date.
