The FP&A Trends Webinar: Myths and Misconceptions of Rolling Forecast and FP&A Scenario Planning

The webinar is proudly sponsored by:

Global Webinar​

The 2020’s economic volatility has put the shortcomings of the traditional FP&A process on full display. It became clear that in order to navigate through the continued uncertainty finance leaders need to drive transformation.

But which approach is the right one for modern Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A)?

Traditional legacy and static methods are no longer sufficient for budgeting, planning, and forecasting. To help navigate this challenge, we must turn to Scenario Planning and Rolling Forecasts to guide us. Both processes are essential to help radically transform and become more agile and resilient. However, there are a lot of myths and misconceptions about Rolling Forecast and Scenario Planning. 

Both approaches are centred on a modern driver-based, collaborative and connected FP&A framework. At the same time, Rolling Forecast and Scenario Planning are different processes and require a balanced approach to achieve the best outcomes.

Our experienced and international panel of speakers will dispel myths and misconceptions of Rolling Forecast and FP&A Scenario Planning. Join us to learn more. The FP&A Trends Webinar will be held on 24 June at 5:30 PM BST.

The webinar recording and presentation slides will be available for the registered participants only. If you are not able to join the live meeting, you can review the recording later.
