Going concern
Affirmed

“The Trustees are confident that the Institute can be considered a going concern for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, there are no material uncertainties surrounding the preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis. 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 charitable company's or the group'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.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-09-30 vs 2024-09-30

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
