The Digital German & French FP&A Board: From Traditional to Better and Beyond Budgeting

The Digital German & French FP&A Board is proudly sponsored by:

         Robert Half
      The North American FP&A Board​  

It is commonly agreed that the traditional budgeting process is time-consuming and costly. It rarely focuses on strategy and adds little value. Although traditional budgets have evolved over the years, they can hardly meet the challenges of the modern economic and business environment. Join our global discussion on whether Beyond Budgeting is the best alternative. At the meeting, we will discuss whether it is realistic to abandon the budget and transform the whole process.

The Digital German & French FP&A Board will be held on the 17th of June 2021 from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM CEST.

Join our experienced panel of speakers to learn how to move from Traditional to Better and Beyond Budgeting.

Even if the timing of the live event is not convenient, you can register to view the recording. 

What is International FP&A Board?

The International FP&A Board was created in London (UK) in 2013 to guide the development and promotion of the best practices in Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A). Since then, the Board chapters have been successfully established in 27 cities and 16 countries across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Australia, and North America. They aim to identify and support new global trends, valued skill sets and leadership practices in modern corporate Financial Planning & Analysis. 

Digital German & French FP&A Board will unite our chapters from Frankfurt and Paris. We are also looking forward to inviting guests from other German and French cities where FP&A Board is not geographically established yet.
