Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 company'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. The directors are confident that the company can continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The directors also have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operation and that future cash inflows are assured. This is due to an active grant agreement with the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), ISSUP's main funder. A strong relationship has been established due to six previous years of funding, and a new grant agreement has been approved to 30 September 2026. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

ISSUP actively participated in key global events, including the 67th Commission on Narcotic Drugs ir Vienna, co-hosting an event on synthetic drug threats at the UK's House of Lords, attending UNODC's "Friends in Focus" peer-to-peer drug prevention programme consultation, and the European Society for Prevention Research Conference in Italy.”

ISSUP also made significant progress in delivering training initiatives.

• “ISSUP continued to grow its global network by establishing new National Chapters in El Salvador, Türkiye, Tanzania, and Panama. Our National Chapters continue to play a crucial role in localising ISSUP's mission and expanding its reach.

Your dedication and enthusiasm in advancing the mission of ISSUP are truly admirable and deserving of commendation.”
