    Sample data

    Sheet 1P&L

    Plan, actuals and forecast. On the same sheet.

    The budget doesn't live in one file and the actuals in another. Every P&L line has its plan, its actuals and its forecast, by entity, department and account, and the forecast starts from the latest actuals.

    Sheet 2Structure

    Every entity and every person, inside the same model.

    The group consolidates from its entities and personnel cost comes from the headcount plan. If a hire changes, the P&L reflects it.

    Consolidation

    Several entities in one model and a consolidated view of the group.

    Task 02 · Aurora, inside the model

    You ask it.

    You

    What explains the 17 of EBITDA missing in March?

    Aurora

    Three P&L lines. Other expenses, in line with plan.

    March EBITDA variance by line
    Sales−10−0.8%
    Procurement−5−1.6%
    Personnel−2−1.4%
    EBITDA−17−7.9%

    Every figure links to its cell. What it can't verify, it flags.

    Sample data

    Sheet 4Reporting

    What management sees comes from the same model.

    The month's board pack, the scenarios compared with plan and the management dashboards read the same figures as finance. Nobody copies them into a presentation.
