(who are the Govemors of the College Trusteel are responsible for the prepaialion of the
financial ststemenls and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such
internal control as the Goveming Body delemiines is neeessary to enable the preparalK)n of

AudFtorfs respon$lbllltlgs for thg audit of tho financial statements
We have been appointed 8$ auditor under section 145 of the Chafilies Act 2011 and report In
a￿OrdanCe with the Act and relevant regulations mae or having effect Ihereund?r.
Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as
a whole are free from material misslatemenl, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an
auditorfs report that includes opinion. Reasonable as$uran¢e* is a high ievel of assuran
but is not a guaranteethat an audrt conducted in acCordanCe￿1h ISAS IUK}will ahmays detect
a material misslatemenl when it exists. Misslalements can arise from fraud or error and are
consideied material rf, individually or in the aggregats, Ihgy could reasonably be expected to
infflUen￿ the economic decisk)ns of users taken on the basis of these financ￿1 statements.
Irregulariltes, induding fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We
design pro¢edures in line with our respC￿S1bIlit1es, outlined above, lo detect material
misstatemènts in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures
are capable of detecting irregularilw, induding fraud 1$ detailed below..
Based on our understanding of the charity and sector, we idenlrfied that the pnncipal risks of
non-compliance with laws and regulations related to Sgctor regulations and unethical and
prohibrted business praCt￿e3, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might
have a material effect on the finaneial statements. We also considefed those laws and
regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial slalem8nts such as
the Charrties Act 2011, Charty Commission and sector regulations, and UK Tax Legislation.
We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulatK)n of th
financial statements lincluding the risk of override of contro131. Appropriate audit procedure$
in response to these risks were carried out.
These procedures included..
Discussions wfÉh management, induding conyideration of known or suspectad instances of
non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud..
Reatling minutes of mgelings of thos& charged with governance.,

We also communuled relevant identrfied laws and reguklions and potèntial fraufl risks to all
engagemenlteam members,. and remained alert loany indications offiaud or ngn-compliance
with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
There are Inhe￿nt limitations in the audf( procedure8 descrit*d above and the further
removed non-compliance wlh laws and regulations is from th8 events and transactions
reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the
risk of not detecting a material misslalement due to fraud is higher than th8 risk of not
dete¢ting one resuking from error. as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for
example, forgery or intentional misrepiesenlations, or through collusion.

Princlpal accounting policies 31 Juty 2024
Ggngral Inforni*ion
Whitelands Coll6g8 is an unincorporatod charty rogisterod wrth the Charity Cc*nmissKJn in
England and Wales under charity number 312937. The main actwities of the charty are the
(wnership of land and buiklings occupied by a constituted college of Roehampton University
as noted in the Trustees. Report on page 6. The Col*e's prrncipal address is Parkstead
House, Hotyboume Avenue, London. SW15 4JD.
Th8 princpal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation
uncertainty in the preparation of the accounts are laid beknw.
Basis of accounting
These accounts have been prepared for the year to 31 July 2024 with compafative
infomiation provided for the year lo 31 Jvty 2023.
The aceounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with r(ems
recognised al co51 or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting
polic￿ bel¢)w orthe notes lo these accounts.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by
Charities." Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their
accounts in accordance with the Financial R8porting Standard applicable in the United
Kingdom and Republ￿ of Ireland Icharilies SORP FRS 102} effective 1 January 2019. the
Financial Reporting Standard appl￿b￿ in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 102) and
the Chsrities Act 2011.
The College con81ilules a publ￿ benefi( entty as defined by FRS 102.
The accounts are presente(l in sterling, the functi(￿81 currency of the charity and amounts
ale rounded lo the near¢$l pound.
Crttlcal aceountlng estlmates and areas of judgement
The items in the accounts where a judgement and estimate have been made are in
estimating the useful economic lrfeof tangible ftxed assets used to calculatethedepreciation
char9e and the value of heritage assets Included in the balance sheet.
Assessment of going concern
The Govemors have assess&J whether the use of th& going concern assumption is
appr(wriate in preparing these accounts. The Govemors have made this assessment in
respect to a period of at least one yearfrom the date of approval of these accounts.
The Governors of the College have concluded that there are no material uncertainli8$
related to events or conditions that may cast signrficant doubl on Ihe ability of the College
to continue as a going concern. The Govemors are of the opinion that the College will have
suffici&nl resources lo meet rts liabilities as they fall due. The most signrficanl areas of
judgement that affect items in the accounts are the continued abilty of the Universty lo
make the annual payment to the College and for the College to $8Thi¢o tho loan facility
Whilelands College 20

Principal accountlng pollcles 31 Juty 2024
provided by Allicia 8ank Limited and moel the loan ¢ovgnanl5.
As the annual payment payable by the University is based on the College's estimated
payments for the financial year, the risk of the College not being able lo meet its liabilit
as they fall due is reduced.
wr(h regards to the next a￿untIng period, the year ending 31 July 2024, the only area that
affects the carrying value of the assets held by the College is the level of investment retum
and Ihe performance of the inVest￿nI markets. The value of the investments hekt in
unstised funds is not svJnifi&int lo the assessment of the financial viabilty of the College.
Income recognltlon
Income recognised in the period in which the charity has entitlement lo thg incomg and
thg amount can bè measured reliably and rt is probable that the income wll rec￿ved.
Income 1$ deferred only when the charty must fulfil conditions before becoming entitl￿ to it
or where the donor or funder has 5pecrfied that the In￿Me is to be expenda in a fvlu
accounting period.
Income comprises an 8nnual payment recewable from Roehamplon UnNersty for
cupalion of the col*e premises, investm&nt income from listed investments arEd interest
receivable. The annual payment is recognised in accordance wth the I￿nCe and
managemenl agreement with Roehampton Universty and to the extent that it 15 probable
that the ￿onoMiC benefits will flowto the College and the revenue can be measured ￿1￿hty.
Income from listed invoslments 1$ recognk8ed once the dividend has been deC￿red and

Whitelands College – Audit findings report for the year ended 31 July 2024 

1 

## **1 AUDIT SUMMARY** 

## **1.1 Purpose** 

Our responsibilities as auditors are set out in the International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) (“ISAs”).  We are responsible for forming and expressing an opinion on the financial statements that have been prepared by management with the oversight of those charged with governance. 

The audit of the financial statements does not relieve management or those charged with governance of their responsibilities. 

We have carried out our audit in accordance with the terms of our engagement letter in order to express an audit opinion for UK statutory purposes on the financial statements of the following entity for the year ended 31 July 2024: 

## • Whitelands College 

In this report, we present the key findings from our audit, together with a commentary on the significant matters arising. 

This report has been discussed comprehensively and agreed with Gavin Pereira, Senior Financial Accountant (University of Roehampton)/Baljit Kaur, Director of Finance (University of Roehampton). 

## **1.2 Audit approach and materiality** 

Our audit planning has taken account of the issues highlighted through planning discussions with you, together with our knowledge and understanding of the business from our planning meeting. 

We confirm that there were no restrictions on the scope of our audit procedures. 

In our planning we have taken account of the results of our risk assessments made in accordance with the guidance set by the ISAs. 

- In planning and carrying out our work, we applied a materiality level of £194,000 (based on 1% of gross assets). 

- Due to the small nature of expenditure relative to the other assets held by the charity, a separate materiality was adopted for testing. SOFA materiality was £8,175 (based on 1.5% of total expenditure). 

- We explain in Section 2 how audit risks at planning stage have been addressed. 

## **1.3 Accounting policies** 

In preparing the financial statements of the Charity, the Trustees are required to review the Charity’s accounting policies on an annual basis to ensure they remain appropriate to the Charity’s circumstances and are properly applied. 

We have reviewed the accounting polices selected and operated by the Charity and are satisfied that they are acceptable. 

## **1.4 Significant findings** 

There are no significant issues that we wish to bring to the Trustees’ attention. 

## **1.5 Accounting estimates and judgements** 

There are no significant matters that we wish to bring to the Trustees’ attention. 

## **1.6 Accounting and financial control systems** 

During our audit, we examined the design and implementation of the internal controls relevant to the accounting systems and procedures. 

The review of internal controls was carried out with a view to expressing an opinion on the financial statements for the period and was not directed primarily towards discovering weaknesses or towards the detection of fraud. 

Therefore, our comments on these systems include only those matters that have come to our attention as a result of our normal audit procedures, and consequently our comments should not be regarded as a comprehensive 



Whitelands College – Audit findings report for the year ended 31 July 2024 

2 

record of all weaknesses that may exist or of all improvements that might be made. 

We set out in Section 3 the matters that we became aware of during the course of our audit, which we believe are significant and should be drawn to your attention for further action. 

## **1.7 Management representations** 

We include a copy of our management representations. 

There are certain representations which we are required by auditing standards to obtain from management as part of our audit procedures. 

## **1.10 Other matters required by Auditing Standards to be communicated** 

We confirm that the firm has implemented the stated safeguards and has complied with the relevant ethical requirements concerning audit independence. 

There are no other matters required by auditing standards that we are required by auditing standards to communicate to you. 

Please note that this report has been prepared for the sole use of Whitelands College. It must not be disclosed to third parties, quoted or referred to, without our prior written consent. No responsibility is assumed by us to any other person. 

In addition, we are required to obtain other representations on matters material to the financial statements where other sufficient appropriate audit evidence cannot be reasonably expected to exist. 

## **1.8 Identified misstatements** 

We are required to report to you all misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and to request that management correct them. 

We have taken clearly trivial as being less than £9,700. 

We bring to your attention the uncorrected misstatements detailed in section 4 below. The aggregate impact of uncorrected misstatements on the Statement of Financial Activities, were they to be processed, would result in an increase to the surplus of £4,400. This increase is not considered by management to be material to the results for the period. 

## **1.9 Audit opinion** 

Based upon the findings and conclusions of our work, we expect to issue an unqualified audit opinion on the financial statements.

## **3 AUDIT AND ACCOUNTING ISSUES IDENTIFIED DURING THE AUDIT** 

## **3.1 Introduction** 

We set out below the significant matters we became aware of during our audit, which relate to the effectiveness of the Charity’s accounting and financial control systems.  We have used the following grading system to indicate the significance of the issues we have raised and the priority that we believe should be given to our recommendations: 

|Rating|Description|
|---|---|
|**(H)igh**|Should be urgently attended to by the Trustees and management.<br>_These are significant issues that may result in a qualification in the audit report in future periods if not satisfactorily addressed._|
|**(M)oderate**|Issues requiring the attention of the Trustees and management.<br>_Issues ranked as moderate require close monitoring by the Board and senior management to ensure timely resolution._|
|**(L)ow**|Issues requiring management attention and correction.<br>_Issues ranked as low are generally routine in nature and should be resolved by general management._<br>_The Board and senior management should be aware of these issues to enable monitoring of progress with their resolution.  These issues may be reported to management in_<br>_less detail than more highly rated issues._|



## _3.2_ **Issues noted** 

|Issue|Potential effects|Risk|Suggested solution|Management response|
|---|---|---|---|---|
|**Over depreciation of freehold land**–<br>land and buildings were depreciated as a whole rather than just the<br>buildings. As per FRS 102 (section 17.16), “There are some exceptions,<br>such as land which generally has an unlimited useful life and therefore<br>is not usuallydepreciated.”|Over depreciation of<br>fixed assets in the<br>financial statements.|(L)ow|Apply provided adjustment<br>journal to correct current year<br>error and correct historic over-<br>depreciation.||

## **5 FORTHCOMING REGULATORY CHANGES AND OTHER MATTERS TO NOTE** 

## **5.1 New Charity SORP** 

The SORP Development Committee have started work on considering potential changes to the next version of the Charities SORP (expected to be in effect from 1 January 2026). 

At this stage, no definitive decisions on changes have been made, and any proposed changes would be subject to public consultation in due course. 

Initial feedback we have seen from the SORP Committee shows that they will be considering the following areas: 

|Provision of Summary<br>financial information / KPIs|Presentation / format of<br>SOFA|Removal certain<br>comparative information|Accruals accounting for<br>grant income recognition|Activity reporting|
|---|---|---|---|---|
|Reserves|Tiered reporting|Legacies|Expenditure classification|Materiality|
|Impact Reporting|Sustainability reporting|Donated goods and services|Support costs|Financial and funds notes|



We expect that the new SORP will see increased disclosure requirements in the Trustees’ Report (most likely in respect of impact, reserves policies, and certain disclosures from the Charity Governance Code, including whether or not the charity has adopted the code), as well as other disclosures in the notes to the accounts (possibly regarding staff costs, and arithmetic calculation of reserves and reserves policies). 

## **5.2 Environmental and Carbon Reporting** 

More and more charities are starting to report voluntarily on climate change and their carbon emissions, as well as what actions their organisations are taking in order to reduce their carbon footprint. 

We are also seeing evidence that more and more funders are now requesting such information as part of funding applications. 

The UK Government have also launched a Climate Hub requesting SMEs commit to net zero: https://businessclimatehub.org/uk/. It is possible that such a commitment may be required in the future in order to obtain government funding. 

## **5.3 Cyber Security** 

A recent survey for the Department of Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport has revealed that over two thirds of high income charities (those with income above £500,000) recorded a cyber breach or attack. 

In addition to the possible financial loss arising directly from a breach or attack, a charity may suffer reputational damage. It is therefore essential that charities are vigilant to the threat of cyber crime and have appropriate defence mechanisms in place.

The National Cyber Security Centre has produced guides for small and larger charities: 

https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/charity https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/board-toolkit 

The guidance refers to the **Cyber Essentials** scheme. Cyber Essentials helps prevent the vast majority of cyber-attacks. Even a simple virus or piece of malware could result in loss of company and client data, disrupt your cash flow and take up staff time. An attack could also put off your customers, stop you trading and damage your hard-earned reputation. It could also be reported in the local media. Loss of data could breach the Data Protection Act and lead to fines or prosecution. 

Having a Cyber Essentials badge will: 

- Protect your organisation against common cyber threats 

- Show your customers you take this issue seriously 

- Enable you to bid for Government contracts. 

_**Since October 2014 Cyber Essentials has been mandatory for suppliers of Government contracts which involve handling personal information and providing some ICT products and services. Holding a Cyber Essentials badge enables you to bid for these contracts.**_ 

## **5.4 Digital resources** 

It is also essential that organisations ensure that they are fully compliant regarding their digital content. Free and valuable resource is available from The Media Trust: https://mediatrust.org/communications-support/resource-hub/ 

## **5.5 Charity Governance Code** 

The Charity governance Code has been in use for several years. Adoption of the code is still considered to be relatively low, although many organisations are likely meeting requirements in the Code even if not being formally aware that they are. 

A new free app has been launched to encourage charities to adopt the Code and become familiar with the Code’s requirements. More information can be found at: https://thegovernanceapp.org.uk/ 

## **5.6 Charity Commission guidance updates** 

The Charity Commission regularly updates its guidance for changes within the sector. Recent changes to its guidance include:

## **5.7 Code of Fundraising Practice** 

Effective October 2019, the Code of Fundraising Practice as issued by the Fundraising Regulator has been revised. The changes are predominately presentational, with an aim of improving the clarity and accessibility of the guidance, and include: 

- Consolidation of the former code, rulebooks and legal appendices so that all of the standards can be found in one code. 

- Clearer navigation by restructuring the standards in to three parts so that users can clearly identify which standards apply depending on the type of fundraising they do. 

- Clarification of where there are differences in law in England and Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. 

- Transparent, jargon-free language.

## **5.8 Hybrid working** 

Home working, and hybrid working, are becoming more and more popular, with more and more employers now offering this. It is important that employers remain fully aware of their responsibilities as well as compliant with HR and health and safety legislation. ACAS have produced some helpful guidance which can be found at: https://www.acas.org.uk/hybrid-working 

## **5.9 Gift Aid** 

HMRC guidance on gift aid has been updated to reflect the requirements for information to be included on declarations. Going forward, every declaration should include: 

- The donor’s full name and home address 

- The name of the charity 

- Details of the specific gift or gifts to which the declaration relates 

- Confirmation that the specified gifts are to be treated as gift aid donations 

HMRC has also updated its guidance to confirm that where a person receives a refund owing to a cancelled event and decides to donate this refund to the charity, gift aid can be claimed on donation of this refunded provided that: 

- The donor confirms that the cost of the ticket is to become a donation 

- No benefit is received by the donor as a result of this donation 

- A gift aid declaration is completed by the donor 

- An audit trail is maintained by the charity including a copy of the agreement with the donor that the cost of the ticket is to become a donation

The charity does not have to refund the ticket price for the donor to re-donate – this can be a ‘paper’ transaction provided that the above conditions are still met. 

From May 2021, loan waivers will now also qualify for gift aid. 

Full guidance is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/charities-detailed-guidance-notes/chapter-3-gift-aid 

## **5.10 Tax changes** 

The budget on 30 October 2024 introduced various changes, including increases to employer national insurance contributions and minimum wage levels. Full details can be found at: https://www.goodmanjones.com/blog/autumn-budget-response-2024/ 

## **5.11 VAT on digital advertising** 

HMRC have clarified their interpretation of the VAT rules in respect of digital advertising and confirming that not all digital advertising qualifies for zero-rating. HMRC have confirmed their interpretation is as follows: 

- Natural hits – standard rated (not supplies of digital advertising) 

- Pay-per-click adverts – zero-rated 

- Direct placements on third party websites – zero-rated 

- Social media and/or subscription websites – standard-rated 

- Retargeting individuals who are revisiting a website – standard-rated.
