Agility in Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) is more crucial than ever. Despite technological advancements, we still see significant gaps.
The 2025 FP&A Trends Survey shows that only 3% of organisations can run scenarios in real-time, a key measure of agility. Just 31% of FP&A time is spent on high-value activities, while more than half still rely on Excel. Over 50% of organisations take more than five days to produce forecasts, and only 2% of FP&A teams rate themselves as "optimised." There's a clear need for change.
Join the face-to-face Dubai FP&A Board on February 5 to discover strategies and techniques for achieving true FP&A agility.
