LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING MODEL FOR LOCAL GOVERMENT.

CONTEXT:

The 2020 Local Government Act was all about integrating councils’ planning processes and structures. Historically, many councils have battled with different tools and systems (often not compatible) feeding into the financial strategy and planning cycle. This can cause confusion and undermine confidence.

Integrl enables you to do your strategic financial planning from a solid common platform that you control. It’s like having a single source of financial truth as the basis for your council’s financial strategy discussions and decision-making.

You can also prepare your Council’s Statutory Financial Statements and KPIS as an integral part of your Long-term Financial Plan. It draws data from other key planning processes and documents including the Council Plan, Asset Plan and the Rates and Revenue Plan.

So, it brings together and better integrates all your council’s key financial planning processes across both services and operations as well as assets and infrastructure.

Integrl is an excel-based, assumption-driven financial planning model. That means it’s transparent, accessible, adaptable and very easy to use. You can set assumptions by service or program – and by line item … or both!

It’s a great tool for working up scenarios for executive and council discussions and workshops and informing the financial choices your council has to make.
