CORPUS CHRISTI COLLEGE OXFORD
UNIVERSITY COLLEGE
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the College's unrestricted funds total £46,285,000, while total net assets are £277,570,000. The financial review notes that inflation in costs has outstripped income growth from core activities, but this has been mitigated by extraordinary donations of £11.6 million received during the year. The auditors confirm that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate with no material uncertainties identified.
