2020/21

The head of provider total remuneration shown in Table 11 does not match that reported in The University of Sheffield’s financial statements. The figures reported here are overstated. The correct figures are:

Year ended 31 July 2020
Pension contributions £60k
Total remuneration £350k

Year ended 31 July 2021
Pension contributions £61k
Total remuneration £351k

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic was declared in March 2020, part way through the 2019/20 academic year. Depending (among other factors) on the financial year end of each provider, there may have been varying impacts of the pandemic on individual providers’ financial data for 2019/20 into 2021/22.

The University of Strathclyde's data were set to credible for 2020/21's Estates record before data quality queries had been resolved, an error on HESA's part. Strathclyde have been responding to last year's queries alongside the 2021/22 data. As part of this, it was identified that Fairtrade accreditation existence (EEFAIREX) was returned the incorrectly last year, and will be updated for 2021/22.
