Risk Management
The Board of Governors is responslble for the rnanagement of the risks frdted by the College. The Management Comrnittee
prepares a risk analysis each year, in consultation with the United Reformed Church. which we serve. The Governor5 appoinl
a Flnancial Management Revlew Group io review all financial management annually. A formal revrew of the charlty's risk
management prO￿$se5 15 undertaken annually. The key controls used by the charity include:
Formal agendas for all Board and Committee artivity
Establlshed organisational structure and lines of reportlng
Fornial wrltten pollcles
Clear authorisation and approval levels
Vettrn8 procedures as required by law for the protectlon of the vulnerable
The useof expert consulrat)ts, as necessary, to advise on speclfic areas of Tisk and to enablethe collegeto implement
the approprlate responses and controls
The risk management eKerci5e conducted In 2020 focu55ed in partlcular on a thorough review of the processes of the College
around Students, Saf￿Y and HnanclnB Issues and Induded the COVID-19 policies and various related-rlsk assessments.
Where ne￿ssary, these polldes were updated to ensure they reflected current practice, measLtres and laws.
The Covld-19 pandem1¢ In 2020 posed new risks to thè College, in particular the incomè from B&B and Conference5 and
Events which has been hard hit. The Governors monitored this rlsk closely and put in place measures to mitigate as much of
its impact 3$ P0S5ible by taklng advantage of the Government's f(b¥lough scheme for all affected staff and put all non-
essentlal expenditure on hold. Regrettably it was also felt necessaryto make 10 staff redundant. Some loans and Brants were
secured from the URC related entthles whlch helped slgnificantly. The Governors continue to monitor the sltuatlon tlosèly
and, wlth the prospect of some opening up in the Summèr of 2021, they remain confldent that the College will continue to
be financially ￿able in the lonB term and have conduded that the College has sufflcient flnancial support to continue in
operatlongl existence for the foreseeable fvture.

WESTMINSTER COLLEGE CAMBRIDGE
Acadernlc activities have continued throughout with lertures and turorials being conducted remotely.
The Governors constantly seek to improve the management of the College. Areas of risk relating to the academlc
programmes and teaching staff of the College are attended to with care through the college tea¢hing team the Board of
Studies and the variou5 5trurtures of the Federatlon. Financlal ¢ontrols are robust and Include monthly reports detallin8
outturns agalnst prolertions and budgets whlch are scrutlnlsed by the Management Committee. The College works dosely
wlth the Education and Learnlng Committee and the Mlnistrle5 Committee as well key Finance and Human Resources stsff
of the VRC, drawing on their expertise and ensurlng that Westmin5terfs developlng work Is harmonised with denominational
requiremenis and expectations. Con￿M$ about Indlvidual students are handled throu8h robust and transparent processes
developed across all of the URCS tralnlng centre5. The College buildings include all relevant features in teim5 of securlty and
acce$5 control alon8side fire detection and preventlon equlpment.
It IS ￿¢BnISed that the systems can only provide rèasonable but not absolute assurance that malor risks have been
adequatety managed. The College has a process to regularly review and. if necessary. to extend its policies and procedures.
The ¢olleEe Is extremely well served by the Bursar, a committed team of administrative and support staff and a part-tSme
Estates Manager who works alon85ide the Bursar to ensure that the buildlngs at Wesimlnster are properly malntalned and
looked after.

l. Continue development of the Vocatlonal Communlty scheme and prepare its implementation.
Due to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemlc, and the need to focus activity on essential services for the duration of
8ovemrnent restrictlons to mitigate the spread of disease, the Governors agreed to suspend the work on progressrn8 the
gap year project. This Coincided with the need for DownlnB Place United Reformed Church to mitigate thelr plans, so it wa5
declded that the College would pick up the explorations on collaboratfve opportunltles once the fuiure became dearer.
Necessarlly there would be a further delay to the launch of the scheme 3nd further work wlll need to be done to seture

Resernes Pollry
The College's revenue budget generally supports its day~tO-day operatlons as a Resource Centre for Learnlrtg
servin8 the United Reformed Church, and the trustees aim to work to a balanced budget, apart from p￿miseS
Improvements. Usuallyi about half of the colle8e's unrestricted income 15 derived frorn fee5, rent5 and 8rants
orfgSnatlng from the Church and from allied ¢haritie5, however In 2020 thls balan¢e shifted and thls accounted for
around 77% oltotal Income due to the fall In tradlng income.
At 31 De￿mber 2020. unrestrlcted general fvnds totalled £1.461.737. Of thls sum £1.483.815 was Invested In fixed
assets held for College use, leaving no readily available reserves. However. the College holds nearly £300,(LKJ
available in the Sale of the Nestle Library designated fund, which can be repurposed should the need arise. The
trustees wlll carefully monltor the Covld 19 sltuatlon and It Is hoped that the sl8ns that these restrlctions are easlng
bodes well for recoverSng, to some degree, an acceptable level of free reserves equlvalent to 3 months Income
without having to make use of this deslgnated lund.

mltlgate thls r15k a5 much as posslble, includin8 taking advantage of the Government's furlough scheme for staff and
P05tponin8 all non*ssential buildin8 work5 and expendtture. Several additional grants and loans from URC bodies were
secured which helped to mitigate. to some degree the effect on incorne. They acknowledge that the retllfn to 'busSness as
usual, will take somè time. They have consldered the Impact of covid-19 in makin8 their assessment of going contem and
deemed it appropriate to adopt a going wncern basis for al least one year. Academic servlces have continued through
remote lessons and tutorlal5.

The trustee5 have considered possible events or condition5 that might Cast $18nificant doubt on the abllity of the College to
continue as a Boln8 concein. The trustee5 have made their a5se55ment for a period of at least onè year from the date of the

Audftorfs respon51bllttles for the audlt of the flnanclal statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Art 2011 and report In accordan￿ wlth reBulatlon5
made under settion 154 of that Act.
Our objectlves are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statèments as a whole are free from material
mlsstatement. whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an audltorfs report that Include5 our oplnlon. Reasonable
assurance Is a hi8h level of assurance. but is not a 8uarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI wlll always

The objectives of our audit In respect of fraud, are- to Identify and as5e5S the risks of materSal mlsststement of the finanaal
statements due to fraud,. to obtain suffldent appropriate audit eviden￿ regardlng the assessed ri5k5 of material
misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implernentin8 approprlate response5 to those assessed risks,. and to
respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identlfled during the audit. Howevei, the primary
responslblllty for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged wlth governance of
the charity.
Our approach was as follows-
We obtalned an understandln8 of the legal and regulatory requirements appll¢able to the charity and COAsidered
that the rnost Significant are the Charfitles Att 2011, the Charitle5 SORP, and UK financial reportin8 Standards as
l%ued by the Financial Reportlng Council.
We obtalned an understandln8 of how the charlty complles with these requirements by discussions wlth
mana6ement and those charged wth Eovernance, partlcularly in relalion to the adoption of the accountin8 policie5
considered to be most relevant to the charitys financial reportin8.
We asse55ed the risk ot materlal mlsststement of the financial statements. Indudln8 the rlsk of material
mlsstatement due to fraud and how it might ocojr, by holdlng discu55ion5 With management and those char8ed
wlth governance.
We inqulred of management and those charged wlth Bovernance as to any known Instsn￿s of non-compliance or
susperted non-ttjmpliance with laws and re8ulation5.

related disclosures made by the trustees.
Conclude on the approprlatene5s of the Irusrees, use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the
audlt eYlden¢e obtained, whether a materlal uncertainty exlsts related to events or conditions that may cast
slgniflcant doubt on the charltys ability to continue as a Boin8 concern. If we conclude that a materi31 uncertalnty

or, if Such dlsclosures are Inadequate, to modlfy our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit e￿dence
obtalned upto the date of our auditorfs report. However, future events or condition5 may cause the charityto cease

{xlll) Golry concem
The flnanclal statements are prepared on a golng concern basis which assumes that the charlty wlll contlnue In
operational exlstence forthe foreseeablefuture. The tcustees have consldered posslble events or condltlons that mlght
Cast 518nlflcant doubt on the ability of the College to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made their
as5è53ment for a period of at least one year from the date of the approval of these financial statements. In particular
the tru5tee5 have considered the Colle8e's forecasts and prolertlons and have consldered the potentlal Impact of the
coronavirus Outbreak on the viability of the College and its subsldiary, as more fully explained in the Trustee5 Report.
The Collegds parent undertakln& the Unlted Reformed Church Trust, has issued a loan facility of up to £200,000 so that
It wlll provlde sufflclent financlal support to enable the Colle8e and its subsidiary to meet its liabilitles as they fall due
durin8 the period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. After taking this into
account and making enquiries. the trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the College has
adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The College therefore continues to
adopt the going concern basi5 in PTeparin8 5ts financlal statements.

Wlth the exceptlon of certain improvements and additions slnce 1983, the College bulldlng5 are not included irt the
balance Sheet 5incethe use of the ColleBe was originally a gift from the Pre5byterlan church In En8land (now the United
Reformed Church), the value of which cannot be readily ascertained without excessive cost. In addition there 15 a
covenant in perpetuity re5trictin8 the use of the college for purposes wider than that of a theological college.. hence an
open market value cannot be applled.
The College also owns certaln tanglble assets, whld) have been acquired or donated to it over the yèars slno Its
foundatlon, not Included in the balance sheet since to obtsin a reliable valuation is not pratticable. These Include the
Atademle library and other book ¢olle¢tion5 Wlth an insurance valuation in excess of £1 million, historic furniture and
works of art. All book collection5 are in regular use, either for theological study and ieference, or for historical research.
Other Items are In use or on dlsplay as approprlate.
Heritsge Assets
In addition to a55et5 noted above, the College own5 certain Tnanu5CriPts and artefacts that are not in ￿gular use, but
held for thelr hlstorlcal quallties. Most derlve from the collections of the foundlng 515ters, ABne5 Lewis and Mar8aret
Glbson, and were dor¢ated by them to the College during thelr lifetime. Some are displayed and others stOTed. The
College also holds the archlves, manuscilpts and historfc books of the United Reformed Church History Society (which
Is a separate charity) on behalf of the Unlted Reformed Church. IndSeative valuations have been obtsined for sorne
Itèms held, but are not considered suffJciÈntly robust to be rèportèd here.
