About IPEM
IPEM is a charity registered with the Charity Commissioners of England and Wales (Reg. No. 1047999) and a Company Limited by Guarantee (Reg. No. 3080332). Registration as a charity in Scotland (and Northern Ireland) is not necessary because the Institute's operations in these jurisdictions do not fall within the registration criteria.
IPEM is governed in accordance with its Articles of Association, which were last updated in September 2021.
