BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE

Local Government. Powered Better.

Our Business Intelligence division helps municipalities turn complex financial and operational information into clear, actionable insight for better financial management, service delivery and governance.

Turn Municipal Data into Real Insight

Trusted data. Smarter decisions. Stronger municipalities.

BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE

Business Intelligence built for Local Government

We understand the numbers because we understand local government.

Our BI division combines municipal financial expertise, data engineering, analytics and reporting technology to provide a trusted view of municipal performance. The objective is not simply to create dashboards. It is to help officials identify risk earlier, understand what drives the numbers and make better-informed decisions.

Financial Intelligence

Executive dashboards, budget versus actual, trends, exceptions and management reporting.

mSCOA & Financial Management

Turn detailed municipal financial data into meaningful, structured management information.

Integration & Bespoke BI

Combine Platinum and third-party data sources to create one trusted view of municipal performance.

Revenue & Collections

Monitor billing, collection rates, debtor ageing, payment behaviour and collection performance.

Automated Reporting & Compliance

Reduce spreadsheet dependency through repeatable scheduled reports and governed reporting.

Annual Financial Statements

Connect the Trial Balance, mSCOA disclosure mapping, notes, statements, controls and audit trail.

Annual Financial Statements - Platinum AFS

Core AFS capabilities

  • Detailed mSCOA 6.9 disclosure mapping

  • Financial statements and supporting notes

  • Built-in controls and reconciliations

  • Controlled note overrides with face-to-note crosswalks

  • GRAP Compliance Checklist

  • AI assistance for analysis, review and financial insight

  • Audit trail, review controls and version history

Take complexity out of AFS preparation. Platinum AFS provides a structured compilation environment that connects municipal financial data, disclosure mapping, financial statements, notes, controls and supporting audit information.

Continuous control through the compilation process

Platinum AFS is designed to keep the financial statements connected rather than treating each statement or note as an isolated spreadsheet. Core controls monitor relationships such as Trial Balance balancing, opening balances, Statement of Financial Position balancing, Statement of Changes in Net Assets, Cash Flow reconciliation and Notes-to-Face Statement crosswalks.

GRAP compliance and AI-assisted insight

GRAP Compliance Checklist

Support a structured review of applicable GRAP requirements, evidence, completion status and areas requiring attention as part of the AFS preparation and review process.

AI Assistance

AI-assisted analysis can help users interpret financial indicators, identify risks and trends, focus review attention and provide contextual guidance. AI supports professional judgement - it does not replace the municipality's review and approval controls.

One trusted view of municipal performance

Business Intelligence and AFS should not operate as separate disciplines. BI provides continuous insight throughout the year; Platinum AFS provides a controlled path from financial data to formal year-end reporting. Together they strengthen the municipality's financial-management cycle.

Improved revenue collection

Identify collection trends and areas requiring intervention.

Faster reporting

Reduce time spent manually assembling recurring reports.

Better decisions

Give management timely, consistent financial information.

Reduced financial risk

Surface exceptions and deteriorating indicators earlier.

Less spreadsheet dependency

Replace repeat manual manipulation with governed reporting.

Stronger audit readiness

Improve traceability, reconciliations and reviewability.

More efficient finance teams

Spend less time assembling data and more time analysing it.

More efficient finance teams

Use financial intelligence to support sustainable municipal outcomes.
