Bangor University Students' Union
Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 July 2022
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The purpose and charitable objects of Bangor University Students' Union are defined in the organisation's Articles of Association as:
Bangor University Students' Union (the "Union") is a students' union within the meaning of the Education Act 1994. The Union is devoted to the educational interests and welfare of its Student Members.
The Union will seek at all times to:
-
ensure that the diversity of its Student Membership is recognised, and that equal access is available to all Student Members of whatever origin or orientation;
-
pursue its aims and objectives independent of any political party or religious group; and
-
pursue equal opportunities by taking positive action within the law to facilitate participation of groups discriminated against by society.
The Union's objects are the advancement of education of students at Bangor University for the public benefit by:
-
promoting the interests and welfare of students at Bangor University during their course of study and representing, supporting and advising students;
-
being the recognised representative channel between students and Bangor University and other external bodies; and
-
providing social, cultural, sporting and recreational activities and forums for discussions and debates for the personal development of its students.
Within these objects, the SU has developed an annual operational plan which sets out a range of annual targets against which it measures its impact and the advancement of these objects over the period.
Significant activities
A company limited by guarantee (Bangor University Students' Union) was incorporated with Companies House and the Charity Commission on 5 April 2018. With effect from 1 August 2018 this company became the vehicle through which Bangor University Students' Union operates. The relevant Articles of Association and Bye-Laws were passed in the October 2017 Annual Student Members' meeting. The main advantages of being a Charitable Company is the creation of a separate legal entity which provides greater protection for the Trustees.

STRATEGIC REPORT Achievement and performance Charitable activities
In September 2021 we rolled out a new three-year Strategy 2021-24 with 5 strategic priorities for delivery over a three-year period.
The Board ensure that progress towards the objectives outlined in the strategy are tracked through effective scrutiny of the annual operational plan and key performance indicators. This update will provide a snapshot of our activity over the last year to deliver against our operational plan and focusses on our achievements and celebrates the hard work of our students and the progress that Undeb Bangor has made during 2021-22.
Bangor University Student' Union (Undeb Bangor) have had a busy but challenging year with a huge amount of activity and work delivered by our students, our Student Officers and Staff Team. The focus of this past year has been on the implementation of a new strategy and organisational structure to ensure that the Students' Union is equipped to provide the support, opportunities and services required by our members. The restructure process ran throughout 2021-22 and resulted in the adoption of a new staffing structure and significant changes to our personnel and functions.
We have worked closely with the University to ensure that the interests of our students have been effectively represented this year, our partnership response and our involvement in all decisions responding to changing Covid-19 restrictions is a strong example of our partnership approach and close working relationship. The strong partnership work that's happened during this challenging period demonstrates the benefit of a strong and independent Students' Union working collaboratively with the University to represent the interests of all students at Bangor University.

STRATEGIC REPORT Financial review
Reserves policy
The Bangor University Students' Union Reserves Policy was reviewed and agreed at the trustee board meeting in September 2021 and is reviewed annually.
The Union consider it necessary to maintain sufficient levels of reserves in order to provide stability for ongoing student-led activity, and to safeguard its ability to meet financial commitments, £250,000 had been set as a suitable level. At the year end the Union had reserves of £669,469 (2021: £631,274) which exceeds the target and is therefore considered to be in a good position.
The Union's total incoming resources for the year were £1,746,607 (2021: £1,592,145). Both the Block Grant and Fee Plan income received from Bangor University remained the same as the prior year. Similarly, additional grants of £178,800 were received for Brailsford and Snowdonia Watersports provisions, these grants returning to their pre pandemic level after being reduced by £50,000 in 2020/21. Other grants received included £131,033 (2021: £88,085) from HEFCW.
Total resources expended were £1,708,412 (2021: £1,249,693), giving a net surplus of £38,195 (2021: £342,452).

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The process for appointing trustees is set out in the Articles of Association (Article 22; 23 & 24). The board for 2021/22 comprised of 13 members to begin with; five elected sabbatical officer Trustees, four student trustees and four lay trustees appointed by a simple majority vote of the Appointments Committee and ratified by Student Council following a recruitment process including application and interview by a panel appointed by the Governance, and Appointment Committee. In January 2022 one Sabbatical Officer trustee (VP Sports) resigned from their position and as trustee. The Articles of Association outlines longer terms, of up to two and four years, for appointed Trustees in order to balance continuity with renewal.
Trustees are recruited according to their skills and experience and to a role and person description set by the Board which identifies desirable skills. In 2022 one external trustee vacancy went out to advert and an appointment made for October 2022 and 2 student trustee vacancies went out to advert at the end of the academic year and appointments made in June 2022.

A Director is appointed by the trustees to manage the day-to-day operations of the charity and the Board provides direct line management to the SU Director, and the Director has delegated authority for operational matters including finance and leading the staff team in the pursuit of organisational objects and is expected to report on progress against the strategic and operational plan at each meeting of the Board. The Board delegates the representational leadership of the organisation to the SU Executive, which encompasses the major elected student officers of the Students' Union, who take direction from, and are held to account by, the student body through a variety of mechanisms including the Student Council and the Annual General Meeting.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Induction and training of new trustees
All potential Trustees receive an SU information pack prior to application. Upon appointment all trustees receive a variety of information through their induction and receive an induction pack. The Students' Union holds an annual Board training and induction event for all trustees. This training is externally facilitated by a governance professional and covers basic trustee induction to the role where trustees are briefed on their legal obligations and other trustee responsibilities, as well as a discussion about Board effectiveness and governance and priorities for the year.
The Officer Trustees are new to the Board every year or two years, so they undergo a more intensive training period. This training starts after they are elected, and before they start their term of office to ensure that they are fully aware of their roles and responsibilities and can perform their duties to the best of their abilities as soon as possible. Trustees receive regular updates on progress outside of Board meetings and briefings with the SU Director to ensure they are fully informed and have the opportunity to explore areas in more depth.
Wider network
The Students' Union is an affiliate of the National Union of Students (NUS) and regularly attends events and briefings and engages in knowledge exchange and training programs within this national movement.
Related parties
The Students' Union is tied to Bangor University through the 1994 Education Act, Bangor University has a statutory duty to take such steps as are reasonably practicable to ensure that Bangor University Students' Union operates in a fair and democratic manner and is held to proper account for its finances, and both parties fulfil their obligations in accordance with the Act on an annual basis. Both parties agree a Relationship Agreement on an annual basis, and this provides a structure for the interaction between the Students' Union and University, as well as an ongoing commitment for funding and support - this is in line with HEFCW's Guidance on properly supported Students' Unions. The Students' Union is primarily funded through the receipt of an annual block grant, and via the University Fee and Access Plan. The University provides appropriate premises for the Union and where necessary additional storage space within the University estate and the Students' Union part-occupies a building owned by the University and a lease for the agreed space has been signed by both the University and Students' Union. The Students' Union is independent of the University, but the University undertakes to employ staff and locate them within the Students' Union in order to support, administer and assist in the management of the activities of the Union. The Union presents regular reports to the University on the Union's activities, management and financial situation. These are given to the University at various committees such as Finance and Strategy Committee, Audit and Risk Committee and University Council. Sabbatical Officers and Union staff sit on various University committees.
Other important relationships
The Union collaborates with other partners to deliver projects, particularly the local council, charities and service providers in the delivery of the community volunteering projects, and also with a range of local leisure facilities in the case of widening student access to sport and activities. The Students' Union affiliates to both the National Union of Students and British Universities and Colleges Sport for the purpose of enhancing student voice and campaigning and competing in national sporting competition respectively and regularly attends events and briefings and engages in knowledge exchange and training programs within these national organisations.
Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
The Students' Union maintains a comprehensive strategic risk management framework and accompanying risk register which fully details the risks facing the Students' Union. Responsibility for this sits at board level, with operational responsibility devolved to the Director and managers and users. The register is considered at each board meeting, monitored via the sub-committees, and discussed in managers' meetings.
The principal risks facing the Students' Union are in relation to the range of activities carried out by student clubs and societies, with some of these carrying a relative high risk of personal injury. Each of the clubs and societies have a specific risk assessment and set of procedures to follow. These procedures are reviewed annually, and audit measures are in place to ensure compliance by each club and society.
The Students' Union works effectively with University Health and Safety Services and calls in expertise to guide and provide expert advice when required. The Students' Union also complies with the University Risk Management Framework.
Financial risk is managed via strong internal financial procedures, regular budget and expenditure review, support from appointed professional accountants, and a robust audit process. Insurances are in place to secure the Students' Union's assets, to protect against Public Liability, and to protect the Trustees. Sufficient reserves are maintained in line with the Charity's reserve policy.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also the directors of Bangor University Students' Union for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
AUDITORS
The auditors, Azets Audit Services, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Bangor University Students' Union
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Bangor University Students' Union (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 July 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 July 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company 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 trustees' 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 charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated 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 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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 where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
the charitable company has not kept adequate accounting records; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) 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 the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company'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 trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Page 8
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Bangor University Students' Union
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditors 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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We obtain and update our understanding of the entity, its activities, its control environment, and likely future developments, including in relation to the legal and regulatory framework applicable and how the entity is complying with that framework. Based on this understanding, we identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. This includes consideration of the risk of acts by the entity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, including fraud, we designed procedures which included:
-
Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims as well as actual, suspected and alleged fraud;
-
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
-
Assessing the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations considered to have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company through enquiry and inspection;
-
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
-
Performing audit work over the risk of management bias and override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for indicators of potential bias.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
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 Report of the Independent Auditors.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Bangor University Students' Union
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' 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 charitable company and the charitable company's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 July 2022
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Bangor University Students' Union was trading as an unincorporated charity until 31 July 2018, this entity was incorporated on 1 August 2018, the net assets and liabilities of the unincorporated entity were introduced in full to the incorporated charity.
Going Concern
The Trustees consider that the Charitable Company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. This assessment is after taking into account the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on operations and the Union's financial resources.
Bangor University has indicated to the Trustees that it intends to continue to provide funding to the Students' Union as required and to make available for use its assets.
Consequently, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the Trustees consider to be appropriate.
Significant estimates and judgements
There are no significant accounting estimates and judgements.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Allocation and apportionment of costs
The Charity's costs have been allocated between direct costs and support costs as shown in note 6.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
| Equipment | - 20% on cost |
|---|---|
| Fixtures and fittings | - 20% on cost |
| Computer equipment | - 25% on cost |
A de minimis threshold exists for the capitalisation of assets, this is £550.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
The restricted funds are as follows:

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Fund accounting
-
Fee Plan - A grant received from Bangor University and its associated expenditure within the terms of that grant, the purpose of which is to advance the student experience at Bangor University.
-
Sporting Provision - Grant income received from Bangor University to be spent on sporting facilities for training, competitions etc.
-
HEFCW - This is grant income from the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales towards various projects, such as Covid-19 associated health and well-being support for Students, supporting the inter-university eisteddfod, creating a sensory room etc.
Clubs and Societies
The Clubs and Societies of Bangor University Students' Union raise and spend their own funds, these monies are held in the Students' Union's bank account and ongoing balances are maintained for each Club/Society. Any unspent balances remain the property of the Clubs and Societies so are recognised as current liabilities by the Students' Union within Other Creditors, where there has been an overspend, this is recognised as a current liability within Other Debtors. No income from Clubs and Societies fundraising activities are recognised in the SOFA, nor are any corresponding expenses, however, Bangor University Students' Union recognise an expense in its SOFA for funds that are allocated by itself to the Clubs and Societies by way of grants.
Basic financial instruments
Trade and other debtors / creditors are all recognised at the transaction price.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Where applicable, bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form and integral part of the Charity's cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose only of the cash flow statement.
Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The Charity's 'employees' are employed directly by Bangor University, not the Charity. The employment costs are recharged to the Charity by Bangor University and included in these accounts as if incurred as employment costs for completeness and transparency.
A number of the employees are members of Bangor University's Pension and Assurance Scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity in independently administered funds. Payments made to this scheme during the financial year amounts to £80,357 (2021: £96,086). The scheme is defined as a defined contribution scheme for the purposes of FRS 17 - Retirement Benefits, as the Charity is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities.

The assets, liabilities and operations of the unincorporated charity, Bangor University Students' Union, were transferred into this incorporated charity on 1 August 2018. The net book value of the fixed assets were recognised as additions acquired on 1 August 2018. Depreciation is applied on the original cost of these assets over their remaining useful life. Where assets have been transferred from the old unincorporated charity, the depreciation has not been charged on NBV as doing so would generate a lower rate of depreciation that is not realistic given the condition/useful life of the asset.
