The financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the Higher Education Institution’s affairs, and of its income and expenditure, gains and losses, changes in reserves and cash flows for the year. They should take into account relevant statutory and other mandatory disclosure and accounting requirements, and OfS and Research England requirements.
The financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the financial reporting standards (FRS102) and the ‘Statement of recommended practice: Accounting for further and higher education’, and relevant legislation.
Funds from whatever source administered by the University for specific purposes have been properly applied to those purposes and managed in accordance with relevant legislation.
