Abstract
A computer system receives and stores information relating to actual past financial results, expected future trends in financial results, and anticipated effects of initiatives intended to change the expected trends. The system processes the information and generates first and second forecast data. The first forecast data indicates forecast financial results without considering the effects of the initiative. The second forecast data indicates forecast financial results that reflect expected results of the initiatives. The first and second forecast data are stored and subsequently displayed to users.
