Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“Internews Europe has grown its restricted income and capabilities significantly in recent years, often investing unrestricted funds to do so. While this investment means that the charity is currently in a position of negative unrestricted funds, it is now developing a revised revenue strategy for 2025 onwards with the aims of increasing unrestricted funds, growing reserves and diversifying funding as key priorities. Furthermore, the robust cash balances and strong pipeline of future funding means that the unrestricted funds position does not limit the charity's ability to deliver its work. The Trustees consider it appropriate to prepare the accounts on the going concern basis. In the view of the Trustees, revenue visibility remains strong, project delivery controlled and there are no material uncertainties.”

Significant events

• “In 2024, across the globe—from Ukraine and the Philippines to Gaza and the Congo—people faced rising authoritarianism, economic instability, climate disasters, and humanitarian crises, all deeply linked to the world's information systems. The Committee to Protect Journalists recorded the second-highest number of imprisoned journalists since it began tracking data, with 361 jailed worldwide. Seventy-six of 103 journalist deaths in 2024 occurred in Israel and Gaza, making it one of the most dangerous regions for media workers.”
• “In 2024, Internews reinforced its global leadership in media freedom by expanding its engagement with the Media Freedom Cohort (MFC) beyond the 2nd Summit for Democracy.”
• “In a major milestone, Internews renewed and expanded its Framework Partnership Agreement with the European Commission, solidifying its commitment to independent media as a cornerstone of democracy worldwide.”
• “In 2024 the Earth Journalism Network (EJN) celebrated its 20th anniversary since its founding in 2004.”

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
