The FP&A Trends Webinar. Modern FP&A: Frameworks, Foundations, and Enablers

The webinar was proudly sponsored by:

Despite the evolution of FP&A, many organisations still struggle to adopt modern practices. The 2024 FP&A Trends Survey reveals that 52% rely on spreadsheets, 45% of FP&A time goes to data reconciliation, and only 9% use driver-based planning. These findings highlight inefficiencies that not only limit agility but also prevent FP&A from fulfilling its strategic role.

Leading organisations overcome these challenges with a structured transformation approach — enhancing analytics, strengthening business partnering and integrating modern technology. But what does this transformation look like in practice?

Check out the recording of the FP&A Trends webinar that was held on March 26th to explore the Four Layers of Modern FP&A Transformation — a framework designed to enhance an FP&A team’s organisational value and strategic influence. Senior practitioners from leading companies will share their experiences, insights and best practices to help you navigate this transformation.
