The Digital Pan-Asian FP&A Board Recording: A New Age of Zero-Based Budgeting
FP&A Tags
Zero-Based Budgeting (ZBB)
October 21, 2021

The meeting was proudly sponsored by:

Michael Page

As organisations confront a more dynamic world, the traditional budgeting process is increasingly criticised as obsolete. But what if your business is still not ready to abandon traditional budgeting completely?

Zero-Based Budgeting (ZBB) can act as a stepping stone to a more modern budgeting process. It not only helps to ‘justify the expenses’ but also enables us to understand key drivers and improve our planning process. Its principles can also be extrapolated to other areas of the FP&A process, in what is known as Zero-Based FP&A. ZBB encourages a culture of business partnering and value creation, and supports agile FP&A.

Watch the recording of the Digital Pan-Asian FP&A Board to learn more about Zero-Based Budgeting from our experienced, international panel of experts:

  • Tom Vanoverschelde, Portfolio Finance Director at Capita, London FP&A Board member
  • Nicolas Perrin, CFO at FN Herstal, Brussels FP&A Board member
  • Vincent BoonSeng Lim, Chief Financial Officer Asia Pacific at Datalogic, Singapore FP&A Board member
  • Pras Chatterjee, Senior Director at SAP
