April to June 2024 Q2 Report

This report covers RICS’ performance from April to June 2024.

Q2 highlights the continued progress towards our strategic objectives, developments on standards, thought leadership, membership and corporate performance.  His Majesty King Charles III confirmed that royal patronage of RICS would continue and in the same month our recruitment of a permanent Standards and Regulation Board (SRB) was completed.  Other major milestones included the second edition of the professional standard “Whole life carbon assessment (WLCA) for the built environment” coming into full effect in our mission to lead and influence on sustainability.

Financial update

Our first half operating result of £1,163,000 exceeds both the budgeted £729,000 and last year's first half result of £815,000, thanks to savings on operating and project costs despite commercial margin pressure.

The savings achieved to date will be utilised to advance the RICS transformation plans, while maintaining the delivery of a positive full-year result.
