Case Study: Royal Australasian College of Surgeons achieves real-time financial insight and agile budgeting with Workday Adaptive Planning

Royal Australasian College of Surgeons Operates with Real-time Insight

The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS), a nonprofit that trains and accredits surgeons across Australia and New Zealand, faced an urgent need to modernize its finance function. Its legacy budgeting tool was inflexible, required extensive maintenance, forced managers into spreadsheet workarounds, and produced slow, static monthly reports that hindered timely decision-making.

Partnering with QMetrix to implement Workday Adaptive Planning, RACS moved to a single planning system with granular models and operational metrics. Managers can now update and run their own budgets and reports in real time, producing more accurate, comprehensive forecasts, improving trust in the data, speeding decisions, and raising the profile of FP&A across the organization.
