Accessing Results and Reports can be done in a number of ways, depending on what information you wish to analyse.
Single Scenario Results and Reports can be accessed in the following ways:
1. Via the RESULTS & REPORTS tab
The RESULTS & REPORTS screen has been designed to provide you with a snapshot of results of the scenario you are working in, along with access to a number of reports in relation to the scenario.
When you click on RESULTS & REPORTS from the left-hand menu, you will see a snapshot of results at the following time periods, as indicated by the green arrow:
* Five years from the Model Start Date
* Ten years from the Model Start Date
and * At Retirement.
This screen also gives you the ability to download a number of reports in relation to the scenario you are working on (as indicated by the purple arrow), along with the Analyser Alerts and Analyser Warnings (as indicated by the red arrows).
In the screenshot above, the large green arrow indicates the Snapshot of results for this Scenario at five years, ten years, and at retirement.
The Analyser Alerts (as indicated by the red arrows) indicate there is a cash flow shortfall in April 2017, as the Working Account cannot go into debt.
There is also an Analyser Warning indicating Excess Concessional Super Contributions are being made in a number of years.
You may decide to modify the model in order to rectify the alerts and warnings.

The STRESS TEST RESULTS tab runs a Stress Test on the Scenario, which models the effect of a 3% rise in loan interest rates over the life of the plan.
The Reports available on this page are the same as those available via the RESULTS & REPORTS page, with the inclusion of the effect of the 3% increase in the loan interest rate.

The COMPARISON REPORTS tab allows you to compare results between scenarios.
