There are probably a lot of tips and learnings you have picked up as you went on your journey as a finance business partner, but you may still be up for some surprises from the list here.

The Digital Middle Eastern FP&A Board will be held on the 15th of November at 5:00 PM GST to discuss how to successfully implement ZBB.

Digital North American FP&A Board will take place on 16 November 2021 to explore Integrated FP&A: Strategy, Steps and Examples.

To be successful business partners, FP&A professionals should capitalise on the latest technological advances. So how can we digitise FP&A Business Partnering effectively?

The global webinar on 9 November at 11:00 AM PST will discuss Surfing Uncertainty with Сontinuous Planning.

Whether it’s financial reports, management analysis or updates to financial processes and systems, Agile approaches are becoming more attractive for Finance teams. When adopted successfully, organisations see improvements in quality, speed of delivery, and overall customer satisfaction. 

John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, famously said, “Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.”

Like Kennedy, this digest finds us looking to the future as we confront change and uncertainty. This time, the issue is thematic. It explores a single subject, namely Digital FP&A: using AI/ML/Predictive Analytics for planning and forecasting.

Many companies measure their progress against annual objectives through profit and loss (P&L) reporting and a business performance measurement (BPM) tool. In many cases, this tool is a scorecard summarising the key P&L and balance sheet numbers. Is this enough?

Through the adoption of technology, FP&A teams are able to achieve complete visibility and help guide the company as a whole while assisting each team to optimise performance.
