- 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 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.”

Significant events
- “No trustees resigned in 2024.”
- “All trustees were duly reappointed effective 05 January 2024.”
- “IWPR experienced a significant business interruption consequent to changes to the US Government donor funding regime, resulting in a reassessment of the risk environment and reflecting increased risk in respect of financial stability, with corporate, pipeline and programmatic impacts, and knock-on effects on other operational factors.”
- “These plans have been impacted going into 2025 by financial and ideological decisions made by key government donors, including UK (FCDO), and the US Government impacting other parts of the IWPR network.”
- “Following the year end, changes in US government policies have significantly impacted the overall operations and funding environment of the IWPR network.”

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
