At the recent FP&A Trends webinar on July 12th, we explored the latest trends and developments in FP&A based on the 2023 FP&A Trends Survey and the key findings from this comprehensive global survey.

The findings from this research provide insights in explaining the Strategy-Execution Gap and, more importantly, how to close the gap using modern FP&A techniques, processes, and technology.
