The IPPR tenS have used our theory of ¢hattge to make some bold policy ideas common sense realities, with a particular focus on 0]lornIc and environmenfal justice. We developed and implemented a framework for pushing progressive policy into the mainstream medii publi¢ debate, and onto the political landscape.

Conelusions re]ating to golng eoneern In auditing the fmancial statements, we have concluded that the truBtees' use of the going concern basis of accounting Tn the prepaTation of the financial ststements is appropriate. Based on the work we have perfomie4 we have not identified any rnaterial unc¢intieS relating to event$ or conditions thal individually or collectively. may c&st significant doubt on the group's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the fuwi¢ial statemejts are authorised for issue, Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the InteeS with respect to going concern are described in tbe levant sections of this report.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDrroRS TO THE MEMBERS OF INSTITUTE FOR PUBLIC POLICY RESEARCH Our responslbilities for the audit of the financi815tstements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable SUranCe about whether the finan¢ial statements as a whole are free from rnaterial misstatemenL whether due to fraud or error, and to iwe a Report of the Independent Auditors that includ¢s our opinion. lieasonable assurance is a high Icvel of assurance, but Is not a guarant¢c that an audit ¢onducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a matcria] misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or ermr and are considered material Rf. individually or in the aggr¢gate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users tsken on the b&sis of these financial stst¢ments. The extent to which our proredures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: We discussed identified laws and regulation, frdud risk factors End the ne¢d to remain alert among tbe audit team. The charitable company is subject to law5 and TegulatioJ]s that directly affect the financial statements including companies and fu)ancial reporting legislation. We &sess¢d th¢ ¢xtent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our proc&lures on the related fancial statement items, including awssiDg the fmancial statements disclosures and agreeing them to supporting documentstion where nKe8sary. The chariiable company is subject to many other laws and gulatIonS where the consequence of non-¢omplian¢e could have material effect on amounts or disclosure in the financial statements. for instance through the imposition of fmes or litigation. We identified the following areas as those most lknly to have such an ¢ffect: health and saf¢ry. aDti-bribery, employment law, environmental law. We did not find any instanrxs of non-compliance or bTeaches of the legislation framework applicable to th¢ charitable cornpany, We designed audit Procedures to respond to the risK recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud 15 higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error. as frdud may involve deliberate conceabnent by, for examplc, forgery or i1)tentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. We identified that the following Areas were of high risk: Completeness of income. We perfOrn vaTiOUS audit tests to ¢nsure that income was not materially understated in the financial statements. Management overrAde of controls. We perforn)¢d various audit tests to ensure there was no rnater1 management override of controls. We focussed on laws and regulations which could give rise to a rnaterial misstatement in thc financial statements, inc]uding. but not limited to, the Companies Act 2006. UK tsx l¢gislation, Charities Act 2011 and Charities SOIiP 2019. Our tests included agreeing the fmancial staternent disclosurcs to underlying supporting documentation, enquiries with management and enquiries of legal counsel when considered neccssary. There arc inherent limitations in the audit Procedures describcd above an¢ the further removed non-cornpliance with laws and regulations is from the events &nd transactions Teflectsd in the financial staternents, the 1¢5s likely we would become aware of IL We did not identify any key audit matters relatiDg to irregulaTiti¢s. including fraud. As in all our audits, we also addressed the risk of management ovetrid¢ of intcmal contro]s, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evid¢n¢e of management bias by the directors that rT¢s¢nted risk of nterIal misstatement due to fraud. A furtber description of our responsibilities for the audit of the fanCIal statements is located on the Financial Reportll)g Council's webstte at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.

The estimates and undeTlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are r¢¢ognised in the period in which the estimate is revisrf if the revision affects only that period. or in the wÉod of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both the current and firture periods. There are no estimates and assumptions that are considered to have a significant risk of causing a material adjustnients to the financial statements in a future period. Financial instruments The Charity has only fmancial assets and fJ])ancial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic fJnan¢ial instruments.
