Case Study: Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society of South Australia achieves improved accountability and streamlined budgeting with IDU

Improved accountability and ownership

The Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society of South Australia faced slow, Excel‑macro driven budgeting and reporting that left managers dependent on finance and delayed month‑end visibility. In 2018 the Society implemented the Enterprise Edition of idu‑Concept from IDU to modernize budgeting and reporting across the organisation.

IDU’s idu‑Concept gave divisional managers real‑time actual-versus-budget analysis, direct access to their cost areas, and the ability to drill into transactions, which reduced finance bottlenecks and shortened review cycles. The solution improved accountability by assigning area-level access, cut the time needed for monthly board reviews, and helped reduce budgeting cycles from months to weeks, delivering measurable efficiency gains for the Society.
