The Digital Nordic-Benelux FP&A Board: Moving From Traditional Business Controlling to Extended Planning and Analysis (xP&A)

The Digital Nordic-Benelux FP&A Board is proudly sponsored by:

         Robert Half

Middle Eastern FP&A Board

In the current uncertain business environment, Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) is increasing its scope and complexity by moving out of the traditional Business  Controlling framework. In fact, FP&A is spreading its influence beyond just finance into the entire organisation.

Gartner forecasted that by 2024, 70% of new FP&A projects will become extended planning and analysis (xP&A) projects, expanding their scope beyond the finance domain into other areas of enterprise planning and analysis.

But what will happen to our traditional Business Controlling function? How xP&A is enhancing the Corporate Performance Management? How can Business Controllers and FP&A professionals get ready for this transition?

Join the Digital Nordic-Benelux FP&A Board to find out the answers. The event will be held on the 23rd of March 2021 from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM CET.

Our international panel of experts will explore how to move from Traditional Business Controlling to Extended Planning and Analysis (xP&A).

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 Nordic-Benelux FP&A Board will unite our chapters from Stockholm, Copenhagen, Brussels and Amsterdam.  We are also looking forward to inviting guests from other parts of the Nordic region and Luxembourg where FP&A Board is not geographically established yet.
