FP&A Trends Digest
FP&A Trends Digest was developed to regularly provide insightful FP&A-related content directly to your inbox. In each issue, we share popular articles from the website and details about upcoming webinars delivered by top finance experts. Although brief, the Digest is very informative which makes it a great read for everyone who is interested in modern FP&A.

In this digest, we decided to collect content that best addresses these four themes: Scenario Management, Extended Planning and Analysis (xP&A), FP&A Team Roles, and Predictive Analytics.
This issue contains our recent white paper on FP&A Storytelling; a guide to fixing common Data Visualisation errors; an article about the increasing importance of storytelling to the finance role; a breakdown of the practical steps involved in good storytelling; and a video explaining how to optimise FP&A Dashboards.
The theme for this digest is FP&A Transformation – the adoption of an automated, fact-based approach to planning that facilitates faster, more agile decision-making. FP&A Transformation is about more than just the application of technology, though; it redefines processes and collaboration across many functions.
