1.15 PENSIONS
Th8 Grwp ￿￿Vate$ in ￿ Teachers. P&)sion Scheme (TPS) ￿1¢h is a defined banefit ￿heMe.
The TPS is an unfunded scheme aThJ e4Mtributions are calculated so as lo spread the cost of
pensions over the employees, w)rkirvJ INes v￿h the Schwl in such a way that the pension cost is
substantialy level per￿nts3e d Current arnl fvlure pensionable pa￿11. The Contribut￿n$ are
delemined by the Govemient Acluary the basis of quadrennid valuations using a prospective unil
credrt method. Th& TPS is a muhi emphw scheme and there is insufficient infcffmalion available lo
use defined benefit account¥￿. The TPS ts thèrèfore treated as a defined witribulion scheme for
accounting purposes and the contributions we recCvJnS￿d in the pertod to which they relate.
The Group pathipates in the UnNersities Superannualron S¢hemÈ (the scheme). The assets of the
scheme are hekl a separate truste￿1￿mIniste￿d fund. Because of the mutual nature of the
sch￿e, the assets are not attributed to indNKJual institutions and a scheme4wde contribution rate is
sel. The Group is therefore exposed to actuaiial risks associated wlh other iistitutions. empkJya8S
and is unable to klentfy its share of the undertying assats and liabilities of the scheme on a
consistent and reasonable basis. As required by Se(thn 28 of FRS 102 "Employee benerrts". the
Group therefor8 accounts for the $ch￿ne as if rt were a defined contribution scheme. As a resuK. the
amount tharged lo the income and exp8nditure 8ccount represents the contributi¢J)s payable lo the
scheme. Since the Group has entered into an agreement {the ReCo￿ry Plan) that deteimines how
each employer wthin Ihe schem8 VAII fund the overall deficit, the Group recognises a ￿abIlitY for the
contributions payable thal arise from the agreement {to the extent that they relate lo the deficit) with
related expenses being recognised thrcAJgh the income and èxpenditure accounl. However on
transfer of the Schoofs emF4oyees fr(yn KiNd's Col*e. Cambridge the College retained that liability
therefo￿ no promsion for t￿$¢ ￿er￿it recovery pwents are included in these financrdl ststements.
The Group olso parbupates in a defned contr1but1￿ penS￿)n schemes and the pOns￿n ch8rge

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESnMATES ANO AREAS OF JUDGEMENT
Estimates and judgements are continuaty evahjated and ara based on historical experience and other
factors, includy￿ exp&tstl￿S of future events that are FAiev&J to be reasonable under the
Ircumstanc￿s.
C1￿C￿l accounting estimates and aswptions:
The Group makes est￿r￿teS assumptK￿s conceming Ihe ftsture. The resulting xcDunting estimates
arKI assumplions WAI, by defin"rtion. seith)m equal the related xtual resufts. The estimates and
assumptions that have a ￿gnificant (isk of causirMJ a material 8djustsnenl to the ¢arrwn9 amounts of
assets and liabili￿ withii the next financial Y￿ a￿ di$￿￿Sed bel¢)W.
Long term lease- The present Val￿ of the kng tem lease in relatKJn to the Sch￿1 buildings is cakulated
based on the Group's InCr￿ental ￿rroW￿g rate. rate is an estimate that management have made
at the ineeplion of the lease after &jtsinW￿ Inf(￿ation from the Sch(M)I's banker. The use of a different
interest rale WLNJld impact the carwng value of the lease liabilty and assctiated asset.
Retirement benefit oblvJaltor6 - The ￿st of thfined benefft pension p￿nS and other post-enyl¢)wnent
benefits are delemiined US1r￿ &tuarial valuations. The xtuarial valuatvjn invofve5 making assumptions
about discount rates. future salary inueases, mOrtal￿Y rates and fvture pens￿ increases. Due to the
c￿pIe￿ty of the ¥￿Vab"on. the underlwNJ asswnptions and the long temi nature of Ihe5e plans, such
estimates we subject to signrfunt un¢thainty. Further detaiL8 are gwen in note 22.
Management are satisfied thal Universities SUperannua￿n Scheme m&ts the definrtion of a mull
employer scheme and V•rMJld have therefore recL>JniwJ Ihe discounted fair value of the contractual
conlribLrtions under the fiJrKting plan ￿ e￿$ter￿ at the dale of appwng the &counts. Hcvwever on
transfer of the Sch(x)I's empk*yees King's College. C*nbridge the College retained that liablity
therefc￿e no for Ihese defKit recovery payments are included in these financial statements.
As the Group wass contractu• t￿l￿d to make ￿er￿[t recovery payments to USS, this woutd be
recognised as a liabilty on the balance sheet. The provision was based on the USS deficrt recovery plan
agreed 8fter the 2018 actuarial valuatK)n. which deffir￿s the defiLiI payment required as a percentage of
fLrture salaries until 2028. These contribu1￿$ ￿re reassessed as a resuK of the 2023 triennial valuation
of the scherne which sh(y•￿d a surplus in the scheme th8refore no further deficit recovery payments were
required from 1 January 2024. The provi5*)n was based on managemenvs estimat8 of expected future
salary inflation, change5 in staff numbers and the prevailing rat8 of discount. Further details are set out in
note 22. However on transfer of the Sch)ofs employees from King's College. Cambridge the College
retained Ihal lialxlty theref¢ye no prOvisM￿ these defial recovery payments are included in Ih&s8
rinancial statements.
The Trustees do not ecfisider there are any further cl￿¢81 judgements or sources of estimation uncertainty
requiring ¢JisckJsure be￿￿j the aCC(￿nting and that sel ￿1 *ove.
