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

- 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 charitable 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.”

Significant events
- “The Institute is committed to achieving the highest academic standards and independent research. As a general policy the Institute concentrates its research on energy issues of international significance across different energy markets and the transformations in these markets as the energy transition and decarbonisation accelerate.”
- “The impact of conflicts and political uncertainty around the globe and the effects on global energy markets cannot go unmentioned and will remain an area of research focus.”
- “Energy Transition research at the institute continues to be a priority and research focuses on the trends shaping energy systems, transformations in behaviours and business models, and the implications of shifting from the existing hydrocarbon-dominated energy economy to a system in which renewables, low-carbon energy sources and abated use of hydrocarbons will play a much greater role.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
