Test the assumption before you commit the plan
Build driver-based financial models, run multiple scenarios, and understand the impact of change before it happens. IDU combines structured modelling with predictive insights, while keeping control firmly with your finance team.
Define. Link. Project. Compare.
Start with the drivers that matter.
Define key assumptions such as revenue growth, pricing, volumes, headcount, inflation, FX, or contract terms. Link each driver directly to the accounts and organisational units it impacts. Models are built on your actual chart of accounts, not a separate structure.
Project forward up to 5 years with control and insight.
Model financial outcomes across multi-year horizons, up to five years, using assumption-based planning. Update a single driver and the entire model recalculates instantly, ensuring consistency across revenue, cost, and cash flow.
AI-assisted, not AI-driven.
Predictive Forecast Assumptions analyse historical data to suggest future trends, using configurable parameters such as training window, historical periods, and confidence levels. You decide how the model behaves, whether to prioritise long-term trends or recent performance, how to handle outliers, and which assumptions to adopt. The model suggests. Finance decides.
Compare scenarios, then commit.
Run best case, worst case, and most likely scenarios in parallel. Compare them across income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow, and promote the selected version to your baseline in a single action. Every version is preserved for reference.
Structured flexibility, not spreadsheet risk.
Driver-based, not formula-based
Drivers are first-class — FX, volume, headcount, pricing, contract terms. Change one and every dependent line recalculates. No formula breakage, no hidden references.
Parallel scenarios
Maintain best case, worst case, most likely, and any custom scenario simultaneously. Compare them in reports and dashboards on the same axes.
Multiple modelling approaches, one platform
Combine top-down targets, zero-based inputs, and assumption-based modelling in a single environment, creating a unified and responsive financial plan.
Every assumption accounted for
All changes, assumptions, and versions are tracked and timestamped, providing full transparency into how each scenario was built and adopted.
Idu-Concept is an extremely powerful budgeting and reporting tool, and the best software investment the university could have made.
IDU-Concept transformed our budgeting process — faster, more accurate, far more transparent.
