The mission of the trustees of Global Education Oregon in London is to support the development and enhancement of programming for Global Education Oregon students in the UK. In particular, the trustees support the development and enhancement of activities which further the integration of students into British life and the growth of students' understanding of British culture. This support includes:

 

 

 

 

Our aims

Global Education Oregon in London is governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 17 July 2003, as amended.

 

The objects of Global Education Oregon in London are to establish and maintain a university in London, and at such other locations as the trustees shall from time to time determine, at which students may advance their education.

 

We aim to provide up to 300 undergraduate students from American universities with study abroad programmes in London every year. We promote the academic, social and cultural development of students through the provision of activities and study. We provide a forum for every student to develop themselves and to contribute to the wider community. We also facilitate cultural exchange between the US and the UK and promote multinational understanding.

Our objectives are set to reflect our educational aims and the ethos of Global Education Oregon in London. In setting our objectives, we confirm that we have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.

General information on the way that Global Education Oregon in London operates

General background

Global Education Oregon is the study abroad office of the University of Oregon. Global Education Oregon creates pathways to international, experiential learning for students, faculty and university partners.

 

Undergraduate students from US universities apply for study abroad programmes through their home university. These are run in various locations throughout the world. In London they are run by Global Education Oregon in London.

 

The University of Oregon charges students for these study abroad programmes. Global Education Oregon in London receives donations from the University of Oregon. These donations cover the projected operational costs of all programmes run by Global Education Oregon in London and are unrelated to income from student fees.

 

Our ethos, strategy and policies

We set strategies to achieve the objectives that have been set. The focus of the strategy is the development of the students that take part in the programme. In taking forward our strategy we:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We do not identify any potential detriment or harm from the activities of Global Education Oregon in London.

 

Global Education Oregon in London is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of students. All staff are expected to share in this commitment. Appropriate training is provided for staff to enhance and develop their skills in this area. Students have access to pastoral care services throughout their programme of study. Global Education Oregon in London is an equal opportunities organisation and is committed to a working environment that is free from discrimination.

Public benefit

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Academics

Global Education Oregon in London continues to maintain high academic standards. Our programmes are rigorous, high-quality learning experiences that satisfy major and general education requirements in order to ensure progress towards degree completion for both University of Oregon and partner students. Our classes promote in-depth and interactive study of London, Britain, and the world beyond.

 

Global Education Oregon offers students the option to add an internship for academic credit, promoting cultural integration and the opportunity to develop pre-professional experience. This year 52 students opted to participate.

 

Selection of students for the programme run by Global Education Oregon in London is made by the individual universities based on a student's good standing with their home campus. Good standing includes seriousness of purpose, academic achievement, and individual stability and maturity. We affirm and actively promote the right of all individuals to equal opportunity in education without regard to race, colour, sex, national origin, age, religion, marital status, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression. There is no discrimination on any of these grounds or on the financial background of the student in selection by the University of Oregon for the programme run by Global Education Oregon in London.

Co-curricular activities

Global Education Oregon in London provides a rich selection of cultural activities and both in-class and out-of-class excursions for students. This co-curricular programme augments and enhances the academic experience. The activities benefit both the students and the institutions visited (through the payment of admission fees, purchase of guides and programmes, and so on). Considerable effort goes into offering the broadest experience possible.

 

Financial aid, scholarships and access

Students pay fees to the University of Oregon for the programmes that are run by Global Education Oregon in London. The fees are competitive within the study abroad field and both the University of Oregon and Global Education Oregon in London pursue a policy of not making supplementary charges once a student has begun the course of study.

 

We believe in wide access to the benefits of studying abroad that are offered by Global Education Oregon in London. It is therefore important to us that our programmes are accessible to those who cannot afford to pay the full fees to the University of Oregon. In 2023-24 the University of Oregon offered London students a total of $230,000 in individual scholarships. This includes our fully-funded programme for Pell-grant eligible Oregonians.

Financial review

The results for the year reflect the continued increased levels of activity and are as follows: total income for the year was £1,724,646 (2023: £1,271,900), Expenditure for the year was £1,557,931 (2023: £1,260,337), resulting in a surplus of £166,715 (2023: £11,563) for the year.

Reserves Policy

It has been the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months budgeted operating expenditure. The trustees consider that, in the event of a significant drop in funding or an event such as the Covid-19 pandemic, reserves at this level will ensure the charity's ability to continue its current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. Unrestricted reserves at the year end were £333,908 (2023: £167,193).

Risk management

We are responsible for overseeing the risks faced by Global Education Oregon in London. Risks are identified and assessed throughout the year. We are satisfied that any major risks have been adequately mitigated where necessary and we have undertaken an overall risk assessment. Global Education Oregon in London is also supported by the University of Oregon's risk management team. We recognise that systems can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES  
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
- 6 -

The trustees, who are also the directors of Global Education Oregon In London for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF GLOBAL EDUCATION OREGON IN LONDON

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Global Education Oregon In London (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 30 June 2024 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the statement of financial position, the statement of cash flows and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

-

give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 30 June 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;

-

have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

-

have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:

-

the information given in the trustees' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared, which includes the directors' report prepared for the purposes of company law, is consistent with the financial statements; and

-

the directors' report included within the trustees' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors' report included within the trustees' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

-

adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

-

the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

-

certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

-

we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or

-

the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the trustees' report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

The objectives of our audit are to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud or error; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud or error; and to respond appropriately to those risks. In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:

 

GLOBAL EDUCATION OREGON IN LONDON
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE MEMBERS OF GLOBAL EDUCATION OREGON IN LONDON

Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

 

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK). For instance, the further removed non-compliance is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the auditor is to become aware of it or to recognise non-compliance.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Accounting policies
Charity information

Global Education Oregon In London is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 6 Great James Street, London, WC1N 3DA.

1.1
Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Ireland ("FRS 102") and the Charities SORP “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)” (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

The accounts comply with FRS 102.

1.2
Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and that there is no material uncertainty. This includes a review of the budgets for the upcoming year. Therefore the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3
Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

1.4

Accounting policies
(Continued)
- 14 -
1.6
Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Leasehold land and buildings
Over the term of the lease
Fixtures and fittings
3 years straight line

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.7
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.

1.8
Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

 

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

 

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.9
Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

 

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.10
Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

2
Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
