FP&A Trends Digest: Issue #32
Issue #32 - 27 February 2021

Dear colleagues,

In this digest, we will focus on FP&A transformation and what is required for its successful implementation. We will look into what financial modelling is and what it is not. Additionally, we have shared a brief video about FP&A short-term priorities that might be worth your attention.

As you already know, we have launched the 5th annual FP&A Empowerment Survey. Your feedback is highly valuable to us and will help us produce a comprehensive report on the current state of FP&A around the world. We would be very grateful if you could complete the survey which can be found here. It will take approximately 10 to 12 minutes, and we will send the results to all participants in June 2021.

Enjoy the issue and stay safe!

 

Best regards,

Larysa Melnychuk
