For Finance Leaders.
CFO, FD, financial controller — strategic + governance.
What does the IDU audit trail cover, and is it auditor-grade?
Every change — budget submission, forecast revision, scenario adoption, late adjustment — is timestamped, attributed, and preserved. Role-based access scopes who can see and change what. Encrypted at rest and in transit, hosted on Microsoft Azure, with POPIA-aligned data practices. Listed companies and regulated financial-services groups run their council-grade audits on IDU today.
How does IDU help finance leaders move from tactical close cycles to strategic advice?
IDU eliminates the manual consolidation tax on your team. Actuals flow from each entity’s ERP automatically; intercompany matching, currency translation, and management hierarchies all run from the same dataset. The work that used to take three people and a week — assembling the picture — happens in the background. Your team spends time on variance analysis, capital allocation, and the questions the board actually asks.
What does the IDU audit trail cover, and is it enterprise-grade?
Every change — budget submission, forecast revision, scenario adoption, late adjustment — is timestamped, attributed, and preserved. Role-based access scopes who can see and change what. Encrypted at rest and in transit, hosted on Microsoft Azure, with POPIA-aligned data practices. Listed companies and regulated financial-services groups run their council-grade planning and reporting on IDU today.
Will my CEO and board trust the numbers IDU produces?
They’ll trust the source. Every number in IDU traces back to source data — drill from a group EBIT figure to the underlying transaction in two or three clicks. There is no “data warehouse refresh” gap, no manual journal correction layer between actuals and what the board sees. The single source of truth your CFO has been promised for two decades, finally governed.
How long does IDU take to deploy across a multi-entity group?
Most multi-entity groups are live across the group in roughly 6–8 weeks. IDU reads each entity’s structure directly from the ERP, so extending the model across subsidiaries is straightforward.
