The IBSA was the precursor of the Watchtower Society, more commonly known as Jehovah's witnesses.
According to Wikipedia, it still operates under the original name, at least legally, in the UK.

The International Bible Students Association is a corporation used by Jehovah's Witnesses.
It was founded in 1914 by Pastor Russell in London, England, and was the first legal corporation representing Pastor Russell's ministry in Europe (Two previous such organizations, the Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society, and the People's Pulpit Association, had already existed in the USA).
International Bible Students Association is the legal name of the charity used by Jehovahs Witnesses in Britain today. Any association with Groups with names such as Bible students etc are now severed. Especially groups still following teachings of Russell which have since been clarified or updated.
