This year’s FP&A Trends Survey draws on responses from 459 finance professionals across industries and regions and dives into the core elements that define modern FP&A — from Integrated FP&A and Scenario Management to data, technology, and team capabilities.

This year’s FP&A Trends Survey, which has taken responses from 383 finance practitioners across diverse industries and regions, looks in depth at the ways FP&A supports data-led decision-making in the current dynamic landscape as well as the future developments that need to be implemented.

This year, responses were gathered from 385 finance practitioners, covering companies of all sizes, from all regions, and industries.

This paper covers the findings of our sixth annual FP&A Trends Survey, where we share the trends and challenges facing FP&A departments around the world. The survey was performed at a time where organisations were looking to recover from the pandemic when many were trying to figure out how to operate in a changed business world.

As Einstein said, “In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.”  This survey we believe offers hope, insight, and a much-needed reality check on where FP&A is today. 

In this uncertain, technology-driven world, we conducted a survey of global FP&A professionals to assess whether the work they do and the skill sets they employ are ‘good enough’.
