The Core Innovation
What every accountant produces — and what every director is missing.
Every Australian company produces two financial reports as a matter of course — a Profit and Loss Statement and a Balance Sheet. These are the standard outputs of every accounting system, every audit, every Xero or MYOB report. They have been produced this way for decades.
What has never been systematically produced for boards and directors is a properly integrated Cash Flow Statement derived from those two reports — combined with the solvency indices and forward projections that directors now have a legal obligation to monitor under ASIC's updated Regulatory Guide 217.
BoardSolvency does exactly that. Import the P&L and Balance Sheet and BoardSolvency generates the integrated three-statement analysis automatically, applies the solvency indices required for director governance, and produces the board-ready reporting that ASIC now expects.
The BoardSolvency Proposition
"Give us your P&L and your Balance Sheet — we give your board the Cash Flow Statement, the solvency analysis, and the forward forecast they need to govern with confidence and meet their legal obligations."
How It Works
The mathematics that accountants know — automated for directors.
The relationship between the three financial statements is mathematically precise. A correctly prepared Cash Flow Statement can always be derived from the movements between two consecutive Balance Sheets, combined with the P&L for the same period. This is standard accounting theory — but it has never been automated and delivered directly to directors as a governance tool.
BoardSolvency calculates cash movements automatically from balance sheet movements between periods — receivables, inventory, creditors, depreciation, beginning cash — and chains them correctly across multiple years. No manual entry by the director is required. No accounting training is assumed. The platform does the work.
Four Layers of Innovation
Each layer builds on the last. Together they are unprecedented.
Derives the integrated Cash Flow Statement from P&L and Balance Sheet data automatically — correcting the gap that exists in most professionally prepared accounts and eliminating the need for manual director entry.
Applies creditor payment obligation tests, working capital ratios, debt service coverage, and ASIC RG 217 aligned metrics automatically from the data entered — producing a single board-ready solvency score.
Projects forward using the eight-component Fairbairn Formula — cash in must equal or exceed all cash obligations including capital repayments, drawings, tax, and reserve provisions. The accounting breakeven is not enough.
Produces structured director reports aligned to ASIC RG 217 safe harbour documentation requirements — giving every director an independent, documented audit trail of continuous solvency monitoring.
The Forecast Challenge
Where BoardSolvency goes beyond anything the accounting profession offers.
The historical three-statement integration is powerful. But the real innovation — and the real protection for directors — lies in the forward forecast. This is where BoardSolvency separates itself entirely from standard accounting practice.
What standard accounting forecasts miss — and why it matters
A standard profit forecast asks: what revenue do we need to cover our operating expenses and produce a target profit? It is built on profit logic.
The Fairbairn Formula asks a different and far more important question: what cash does this business need to generate in this period to pay every cash commitment — operating costs, capital loan repayments, personal drawings, tax obligations, and the reserve needed to protect against the next crisis?
The cash flow breakeven point is almost always substantially higher than the accounting profit breakeven point. The difference between those two numbers is the danger zone — where profitable businesses become insolvent. This is the zone that destroys directors.
Why No One Has Done This Before
The accounting industry was built to serve compliance — not directors.
The accounting software industry evolved to serve the compliance culture — profit reporting for taxation authorities and true and fair reporting for auditors and shareholders. Xero, MYOB, and QuickBooks are brilliantly designed for that purpose. They were never designed to give directors independent, continuous solvency monitoring.
Large accounting firms advising boards provide analysis on request — but it is retrospective, expensive, and delivered in formats designed for accountants rather than directors. There is no standardised analytical framework. There is no continuous monitoring. There is no independent director audit trail.
BoardSolvency fills that gap — for every director, of every company, at a price point accessible to the entire market.
Development Status — 2026
Proven in alpha. Built on a clear roadmap.
The auto-generated Cash Flow Statement from P&L and Balance Sheet data has been proven in alpha testing with demonstration company data. The platform correctly calculates depreciation, receivables movements, inventory movements, accounts payable movements, and beginning cash balances automatically from balance sheet data — with no manual cash flow entry required from the director.
Alpha development status — May 2026
Outstanding development priorities in sequence: completing equity, reserve and capital repayment provisions in the forecast module; building the structured import function for Xero and standard accounting formats; completing the multi-entity group structure module; and developing the board reporting output aligned to ASIC RG 217 safe harbour documentation.
Each of these builds directly on the proven foundation. The architecture is sound. The innovation is real. The market is waiting.
