- Affirmed
“Coram IAC is in receipt of a letter of comfort from Coram, indicating that it will provide support to Coram IAC for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The trustees consider therefore that there are no material uncertainties affecting the charity's ability to continue and are able to conclude that is has reasonable expectation that it will be a going concern for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “In April/May 2024, Coram Intercountry Adoption Centre had an Ofsted inspection, the first since 2020 and was again judged as outstanding in all three categories.”
- “China stopped all intercountry adoptions during the pandemic and did not resume their special needs intercountry adoption programme after it ended. They have now officially closed all intercountry adoption programmes and the Coram IAC Country Programme for Special Needs Children from China has therefore also now closed.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
