TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's [governing document], the Charities Act 2011 and "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
The CIO’s objects are:
-
the maintenance of the institution known as Pusey House as a house of sacred learning;
-
the affording of religious help and counsel to members of the University of Oxford; and
-
the promotion of theological study and holiness of life.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
The key objective of the charity is “to perpetuate the memory of Dr Pusey by affording religious help and counsel to members of the University, and by promoting Theological Study and Holiness of Life." This is achieved financially by means of the stipends allocated to the members of the Chapter.
Achievements and performance
The Chapter continued the work of engaging with the academic and spiritual life of the University, and providing a “house of sacred learning” where worship and lecture programmes; study and confession; social events and work with those in need, sit alongside one another on a daily basis.
The House maintained its round of worship, study and pastoral activity, throughout the year, despite the various restrictions caused by Covid-regulations. Alongside those worshipping on site in the Chapel of the Resurrection, live-streaming of Sunday and some week-day services continued until the summer. The Steward Karen Westhaver led and taught a weekly Sunday school meeting during mass (after the Gospel, until the Offertory or Sanctus) in the Ursell room. For the first-time the House maintained Sunday and Wednesday masses all through the long-vacation. This was much appreciated by members of the congregation and visitors. It also meant that Michaelmas term started with more energy and an established congregation. The Scriptorium programme resumed usual prepandemic functioning with daily communal lunches and hospitality in the Hood Room in Michaelmas Term.
With the oversight and encouragement of the Librarian and Archivist Jessica Woodward, library use grew throughout the year as Covid-restrictions decreased. Project Cataloguer Philippa Taney resigned from her role in July, after two and a half years of excellent work for the Library, to become the full-time Librarian and Archivist at St Cross College. Her replacement, Monika Newcomb, joined us in July.
In Michaelmas of 2021 a new team joined the House over the summer of 2021. After four-years in post, Richard Keeble handed on Sacristan duties to Harry Spain. Jim Fellows became our organist working with David Bannister, our Director of Music. Jack Nicholson and Alex Fels completed their work as interns, and Jack Chisnall and Clinton Collister joined the House as interns in September. Jack also oversaw the work of Scriptorium, while Clinton’s efforts focused on catechetical groups. The Rev’d James Mosher moved from being an intern to serving as parttime assistant chaplain. All these served as members of the Greater Chapter. The Chapter consisting of the Principal, the Revd Dr George Westhaver, the Chaplain, the Revd Mark Stafford, and the Barry Lay Academic Fellow, Dr Jonathan Price.
The fundraising activities across the year successfully raised funds in excess of our budgeted expectations.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Financial review
Income from all sources in the year totalled £541,481. The net movement on funds for the year amounted to an increase of £960,529 after taking into account a gain of £128,598 on revaluation of the investment portfolio and £700,000 revaluation gain on freehold properties.
. The freehold properties, which are vested in the Official Custodian for Charities, are not held primarily as investment assets, and are shown at their current market valuation.
Investment performance was satisfactory, with a level of income being achieved in accordance with expectations. There was an increase of 10% in the value of investments over the year, which was consistent with market performance in the year.
The Trustees have identified the maintenance of a sound capital base as their main investment objective. Net income is retained within reserves. These are reinvested where possible in order to secure the income necessary to maintain the ministry of Pusey House. As at 31 December 2021 the charity has total funds of £6,145,579 of which £51,451 were endowment funds, £627,333 restricted funds and £5,466,795 of unrestricted funds. Of this £5,466,795, £4,614,861 is represented by tangible fixed assets, £215,271 has been designated for specific purposes leaving a balance of free reserves of £636,663.
Investment income has again been augmented by generous donations from individuals and other charitable organisations who are in sympathy with the stated objects of the charity.
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
The CIO has assessed the risks which face the charity as including the challenge of providing adequate and secure funding sources, potential problems relating to caring for complex physical assets, rising energy costs, pressure on staff.
Plans for future periods
In the coming year the Trustees intend to assess the infrastructure of the organisation, and its suitability for the next phase of the CIO’s development - considering in particular the make-up of the Trustee Board, and the possibility of funding a part-time Bursar, or equivalent role, to oversee the administration of the institution, and its resources. The Chapter seek to expand the House’s academic work by adding regular colloquia to the regular pattern of lectures, developing the Scriptorium, and producing a series of resources that can be of use to the wider church, and to consolidate the expansion of the spiritual life of the House through the year-round weekly services and festivals.
Structure, governance and management
The charity is a CIO governed by its Constitution dated 13 July 2020.

Decisions regarding the day-to-day management of the House are considered by the Chapter at weekly management meetings, and approved by the Principal. The effectiveness, and appropriateness of these are assessed by the Trustee Board, meeting three times in each year, and through consultation with the same. Any significant strategic decisions are put before the Board for approval, and the Trustees are responsible for setting and reviewing the core policies of the CIO.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales 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 charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities 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; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF PUSEY HOUSE CIO
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Pusey House CIO (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial 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 Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 December 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, 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 Charities Act 2011.
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 Auditor'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 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 charity’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 other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 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 course of 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 in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees' report; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

PUSEY HOUSE CIO
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF PUSEY HOUSE CIO
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees 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 charity’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 cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial 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 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 an auditor's 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.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
-
the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
-
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our knowledge and experience;
-
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company;
-
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence where applicable; and
-
identified laws and regulations were communicated 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 management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
-
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
-
6 -
PUSEY HOUSE CIO
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF PUSEY HOUSE CIO
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
-
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
-
tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
-
assessed whether judgements 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 to underlying supporting documentation;
-
reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
-
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims;
-
reviewing relevant correspondence.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it 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 directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Other matters
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements 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)" (as amended) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.
This has been done in order for the financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with current Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity’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 charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's 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 charity and the charity’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 DECEMBER 2021
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Pusey House CIO is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered in England and Wales . Its registered office is Pusey House, St. Giles, Oxford, OX1 3LZ
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's [governing document], the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold residential properties and to certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
On 1 January 2021 the assets and liabilities of Dr Pusey Memorial Fund were transferred into Pusey House CIO (which previously had no activity). Merger accounting has been adopted and the comparative figures presented are those of Dr Pusey Memorial Fund for the year ended 31 December 2020.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

PUSEY HOUSE CIO
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected.
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold residential properties no depreciatin charge due to high residual values Pusey House and Chapel nil Organ 40 years straight line Fixture and equipment 15% reducing balance
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
The freehold properties not forming part of the main Pusey House site are included at valuation
Revaluation gains and losses are recognised in other recognised gains.
1.7 Heritage assets
Early books and other collections owned by the charity are classified as heritage assets and are not valued for inclusion as assets in these financial statements. Heritage assets are preserved and public access is permitted. There have been no material acquisitions or disposals of heritage assets in the last 5 years.
1.8 Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.
1.9 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.10 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors are initially recognised at transaction price .
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
1.11 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the charity has a legal or constructive present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that the charity will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting end date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation is recognised at present value. When a provision is measured at present value, the unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in net income/(expenditure) in the period in which it arises.
1.12 Retirement benefits
Payments to multi-employer defined benefit pensions schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due. However a provision is made for deficit reduction contributions

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated 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 recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
Critical judgements

The charity participates in the Church of England Funded Pensions Scheme
The Church of England Funded Pensions Scheme is a defined benefit scheme but the charity is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities – each employer in that scheme pays a common contribution rate.
A valuation of the Scheme was carried out as at 31 December 2018. This revealed a deficit of £50m, with assets of £1,818m and a funding target of £1,868m, assessed using the following assumptions:
The Scheme set the “recovery period” to end on 31 December 2022.
The contribution rate was include 11.9% of deficit reduction contributions to December 2020, with 7.1% from January 2021.
For schemes such as the Church of England Funded Pensions Scheme, FRS102 requires the charity to account for pension costs on the basis of contributions actually payable to the Scheme in the year. However, a provision needs to be made for the net present value of expected future deficit reduction contributions. This has been estimated at £2,000 (2020: £4,000).
