Issue #18 - 1 August 2020

Dear colleagues,
We know your struggle! There are so many articles on the web, and it can be time-consuming to navigate through all of this information.
To make it easier for you to find relevant FP&A insights, we launched the FP&A Trends E-Book series last year. And now I am happy to share with you our second e-book, which considers the concept of FP&A business partnering and consolidates advice on becoming a great FP&A business partner. The e-book is free and available only to FP&A Trends subscribers. To access the PDF file, please click on this link.
As usual, below you will find a list of several articles on various FP&A-related topics.
Finally, I would like to invite you to join our next Global FP&A Trends webinar that takes place in September where we will discuss scenario planning in this uncertain business environment. The registration link and more details are included at the bottom of this digest.
Enjoy this issue and stay safe!
Best regards,
Larysa Melnychuk
CEO and Founder
FP&A Trends Group &
International FP&A Board
