The International FP&A Board now restarts face-to-face events, continuing our mission of learning the latest trends in FP&A through discussion and collaboration. The meeting of the Frankfurt FP&A Board will discuss what lessons the pandemic has taught us. 

How to address FP&A challenges? At this webinar, we will discuss how we need to face new circumstances in the short and long term. 

Strategy execution means core competencies support a realistic strategy and that the plan can be achieved, on time, on budget, and with the intended results.

In times of uncertainty, the failings of systems and measures are brought sharply into focus. Managing profitability often requires a complete re-think of how an organisation plans and the supporting systems that can help sustain profits in both the short and long term.

xP&A is more than an attempt to ‘fix’ the planning process. It is a complete transformation of the FP&A function to continually challenge the status quo, to educate, shape and influence management decisions on how the organization achieves its goals.

Scenario management plays a vital role in a world of irrelevant budgets and inaccurate forecasts.

In recent years, organisations all over the world have been undergoing a rapid digital transformation. New tools and technologies are opening up the possibility of more collaborative business processes, including planning.

FP&A Storytelling has been one of the biggest trends in FP&A over the last few years as executives and C-level leaders want to know how their company is performing, what segments are performing well or not so well, and why so. 

Without a digital FP&A process supported by modern technology, finance leaders may find it nearly impossible to deliver on strategic goals. Digitizing FP&A speeds up data access and insights and fosters collaborative partnership between finance and operational leaders to respond to disruptions and deliver on overall business objectives.
