FP&A Trends Digest: Issue #15
Dear colleagues,
We have some great news to share.
A couple of months ago we started our digital journey and successfully moved many of the International FP&A Board meetings online. The FP&A Trends webinars and FP&A Board Connects have proven to be successful projects uniting FP&A practitioners from all over the world. It has been a great pleasure receiving your postive feedback. We are constantly working on improvements so we are grateful for all of your messages.
In this issue, we will share information about two upcoming online events. It would be great to see you there, I hope you will be able to join us.
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.
So, without further ado, let’s dive into this issue.
Best regards,
Larysa Melnychuk
CEO and Founder
FP&A Trends Group &
