  • Separately disclosed material items, Table 10 – Staff costs, USS pension provision (2018/19 and 2019/20)

    In 2019/20, Aberystwyth University incorrectly reported a number of items of income and expenditure as being separately disclosed material items from the Audited Financial Statement of comprehensive income and expenditure in the Finance record Table 10. The intention had been to draw user’s attention to line items where there had been a significant movement from previous years reported results. However, the items disclosed were not material items that required separate disclosure in the audited financial statements and all the return in Finance record Table 10 should have been nil other than staff costs, which is detailed below.

    In 2018/19 and 2019/20, Aberystwyth University included Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS) pension provision movement within Staff Costs in Table 1 without a separate Exceptional item disclosure under table 10 - Separately disclosed material items. The values under table 10, staff costs, should be £18,542k for 2018/19 and (£10,305k) for 2019/20.

    In 2018/19 and 2019/20, Bangor University included Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS) pension provision movement within Staff Costs in Table 1 without a separate Exceptional item disclosure under table 10 - Separately disclosed material items. The values under table 10, staff costs, should be £18,158k for 2018/19 and £(11,384k) for 2019/20.

    For 2018/19 and 2019/20 Cardiff University omitted to separately disclose material items from the audited financial statement of comprehensive income and expenditure. The separately disclosable items are included within the operating expenditure. The values under table 10, staff costs, should be £92,908k for 2018/19 and £(55,214k) for 2019/20.

    In 2018/19 and 2019/20 Glyndŵr University have reported staff costs within separately disclosed material items that represent total Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) contributions. These values are: £2,706k for 2018/19 and £3,237k for 2019/20. Included within these costs are exceptional past service costs representing Guaranteed Minimum Pension and McCloud contributions account for of £625k in 2018/19 and £173k in 2019/20 of staff cost values. This approach aligns with the University Group Financial Statements methodology to clearly show the impact of LGPS as part of the overall University Group Financial Statements and was agreed with the provider’s external auditors.

  • Staff costs (2016/17 – 2021/22)

    For the academic years 2016/17 – 2021/22 some inconsistencies are apparent among non-English HE providers in the total staff costs displayed in Table 12 of the open data when comparing against staff costs reported in Table 1. These discrepancies relate to differences in the way that HE providers have reported staff costs in both tables – in some cases excluding non-academic staff costs, and in some cases including pension adjusted costs. Staff costs in Table 1 are validated against providers’ published accounts.
