- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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 Institute for Public Policy Research'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 2024 IPPR continued to pursue its mission to advance economic, social, environmental, and democratic progress across the UK. In a year of significant political transition, including the June 2024 general election and the formation of a new government, IPPR provided timely research, policy insight, and strategic advocacy to shape public debate and influence policy outcomes.”
- “This year saw the appointment of new Chair, Victor Adebowale, in May 2024. In December 2024 the board appointed Harry Quilter-Pinner as our new Executive Director.”
- “IPPR North marked its 20th anniversary in 2024.”

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
