In June 2022, the International FP&A Board restarted its face-to-face post-pandemic meeting in Toronto.

The main subject of the discussion was Reinventing FP&A: Key Lessons Learned from the Pandemic.

The main lessons learned from the Toronto FP&A Board are:

• The next level of FP&A Business Partnering requires new skills and knowledge, including face-to-face and remote interaction.
   
• People, teams and multifunctional collaboration are essential
      
• Pandemic accelerated transformation
