“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 entity'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
- “2024 was another progressive and engaging year for ISKCON in the UK. Across the country, our growing profile as a respected spiritual organisation was reflected in expanded outreach, strong community engagement, and ongoing collaboration with schools and universities, community organisations, and interfaith networks.”
- “Harinama sankirtan (congregational chanting of the maha mantra) and festival programmes expanded in both frequency and reach. New towns, such as Nottingham and Liverpool, were added to the regular harinama schedule. Additionally, Rathayatra (the festival of the Chariots) took place in London and beyond, drawing thousands.”
- “In 2024, over 263,000 spiritual books were distributed across the UK. The establishment of a national Book Distribution Committee created stronger coordination and unity, increasing community participation.”
- “ISKCON centres continued to expand their educational and youth initiatives, offering courses and workshops on mantra meditation, bhakti philosophy, ethics, and devotional arts. More than 30 university societies engaged regularly.”
- “Our centres made further progress in promoting environmentally conscious practices, including organic farming, reducing single-use plastics, vegetarian advocacy, and spiritual ecology education.”
- “The first national RISE retreat in 2024 helped strengthen connections across the network, encouraging collaboration and growth among sangas and devotees nationwide.”
- “ISKCON Bhaktivedanta Manor, the society's largest UK centre, continued to flourish in 2024. The Grade II listed property near Watford, donated by George Harrison in 1973, remains a vibrant spiritual hub.”
- “New Gokul, the Manor's protected dairy farm, remained a national leader in cow and ox protection. 2024 highlights included an expanded cow hospital, record ox-working hours, new donor engagement strategies, and the addition of miniature zebu cows.”
- “ISKCON Birmingham team marked 25 years since the inauguration of their annual 24-hour kirtan event, held at a new venue accommodating 2,000 guests.”
- “ISKCON Manchester marked a significant milestone with the installation of a murti of Srila Prabhupada in March.”
