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.

In this issue, we would like to look at key performance indicators (KPIs) from the perspective of a CFO. We will also discover which five important things will improve the effectiveness of a company's planning processes and look into how the analytics of FP&A are connected to the Simpson’s paradox. We will explain why data visualisation is considered to be a game changer for FP&A and then explain the 4 steps necessary to become a more valued FP&A professional.

As the saying goes, “new year, new me”, so we would like to offer you the chance to have a look at your FP&A function and the ways in which you might improve your processes. In this issue, we will delve into finance transformation, the skill set needed to be a successful FP&A professional and a case study on performance management.

The 8th FP&A Trends Digest is already here! This time we will look into how FP&A can create value, what is needed to improve the budgeting process and why financial modelling is different from predictive analytics. We are also excited to share with you a recording from the “Power of Driver Based and Predictive FP&A” webinar.
