Financial & Operational Health · For Bursars, CFOs & Boards

Know your school
before the market does

IRIS5 is a financial and operational health check for schools — it surfaces the risks that matter, shows how you compare to international standards, and flags where leadership’s view and the evidence diverge. In under an hour — and your documents are never stored.

Five dimensions — two at the core, three that read the risks

Independently scored and cross-checked against your evidence. Two dimensions define your financial and operational health — three read the biggest risks to it.

The core · your financial & operational health

01

Financial Health

Revenue sustainability, cost discipline, liquidity buffers, fee dependency, capital allocation

02

Operational Efficiency

Workforce ratios, scheduling utilisation, systems maturity, campus planning, ancillary revenue

Three risk lenses on that health

03

Governance Quality

Board composition, oversight cadence, policy coherence, owner-board separation, risk registers

04

Enrolment & Market

Cohort survival rates, pricing power, catchment dynamics, re-registration trends, brand positioning

05

AI Readiness

Operational automation potential, workforce disruption exposure, policy maturity, strategic preparedness

Not standalone audits — each is read for how it threatens your financial and operational position.

A report your board will actually use

Scored, colour-coded, and ready to present. No interpretation required.

The deep audit

One report. Everything a board needs.

The deep audit reads your documents and returns a single, board-ready report — every finding cited to its source, nothing left to interpret.

Overall health score + radar

One institutional-health score out of 100 and a five-dimension radar — evidence-based, beside your own perception rating.

Dimension scores

An evidence-based RAG rating per dimension, shown next to what your team believed, so every gap is obvious.

Material risks & priorities

A ranked short-list of what to fix first — each with practical guidance and, where relevant, a ready-to-use PGC policy template.

Peer benchmarking

How your key metrics sit against recognised international standards (ISBA, NAIS, NBOA and international ranges), with your quartile.

Financial stress test

How your finances hold under enrolment and fee-pressure scenarios — the covenant conversation, before the covenant breaks.

Contradictions

Where two of your own documents disagree — cited on both sides, ranked by severity, with the reconciliation to make.

Perception gaps

Where your leadership's view and the underlying evidence tell different stories.

Cross-document observations

Trends, emerging risks, budget variances and genuinely positive signals that aren't strict contradictions.

What to add next

The specific missing documents that would most strengthen your next audit.

The deep audit does what a self-audit can’t

A self-audit only reflects what you already believe. IRIS5 scores your real risks, benchmarks you against international standards, and — uniquely — checks your beliefs against your own documents, flagging where the two diverge. That last gap is where the most valuable strategic conversations begin.

Built private, not bolted on

Every file is analysed and erased in one pass. Your scores belong to you alone. PGC advisors only see your data if you choose to share it with them.
