Going concern

Affirmed

“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 Egypt Exploration Society'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.”

Significant events

• “In November 2022, the Society launched an ambitious Capital Campaign with the aim of transforming the London Office into an accessible, inclusive, and sustainable hub for the study of and engagement with Egyptian cultural heritage.”
• “In June 2024, the Society was awarded a £61,321 Development Grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.”
• “Related to the Building the Future Campaign has been our efforts to remove two London Plane trees in the garden of our neighbours, Riverside, at 8 Doughty Street. We are pleased to report that these were removed and replaced on 21-23 February 2025”
• “In April 2024, the Society was delighted to join the international network of the British International Research Institutes (known as BIRIs), supported by the British Academy.”
• “From 22-30 September 2024, the Society organised a Creative Climate Leadership Retreat held at the Gulbenkian Prize-winning eco-lodge, SEKEM, near Cairo Egypt.”
• “The ongoing investigation into thefts from the Society's collection of papyri has not yet reached a conclusion though we have been able to return all of the affected items to our collection store.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
