The Digital Pan-Australian FP&A Board: Managing Risks and Opportunities of Rolling Forecast and Scenario Planning
The Digital Pan-Australian FP&A Board is proudly sponsored by:
The economic volatility of 2020 has revealed the shortcomings of the traditional FP&A process and the pressing need for transformation. For budgeting, planning, and forecasting in particular, conventional methods are no longer sufficient.
This is where Scenario Planning and Rolling Forecasts can help guide us. Both processes are essential in becoming more agile and resilient. However, there are many myths and misconceptions about Rolling Forecast and Scenario Planning. While both approaches are centred on a modern driver-based, collaborative and connected FP&A framework, they are distinct processes requiring a balanced approach.
Discover more at The Digital Pan-Australian FP&A Board, on October 26th at 4:30 PM AEDT.
Join our experienced panel of speakers to discuss the subject of Managing Risks and Opportunities of Rolling Forecast and Scenario Planning. We will hear from senior representatives from ACN Pacific and Calvary Health Care.
