  13. From 2005/06 the FSR submission to HESA from the Royal College of Music has been completed on the basis adopted for the College's 2005/06 consolidated accounts in that the figures include the Prince Consort Foundation (PCF).

  14. The financial data supplied by the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) is extracted from the RCN audited accounts based on an April to March accounting year.
