It is true that time flies fast. It is already July, and we are happy to share a new issue of the FP&A Trends Digest with you.

As usual, the Digest will also look into the latest trends and developments in FP&A. We have several interesting articles to share with you.

In this issue we will discuss intelligent FP&A, the efficiency of FP&A teams, the best practices for a rolling forecast and some tips for implementing a successful predictive analytics project.

In this digest, we will also look at financial modelling in more details. We will cover several questions. What is the difference between sensitivity, scenario and what-if analysis? How can you use a cost volume profit analysis? We will also discuss strategic cost control and the common pitfalls found during robotic process automation within FP&A.

A lockdown is a challenging experience for all of us and we, at FP&A Trends, would like to make our digest as useful as possible for you. Therefore, we have divided this digest into three parts, allowing you to choose the most effective way to learn and grow while staying at home.

In this Digest issue, we will explore the illusions of control in modern business and the possible benefits of data science. We will look at how you can ensure successful FP&A collaboration with all departments and we will explain the different planning methods available and their differences.
