From FP&A to XP&A >
The Future of Finance?

Recorded Live on Thursday 5th August 2021

Earn: 1 CPD Hour
Duration: 1 Hour

Session Synopsis:

This exclusive CFO Lunchtime Live WebCast, focuses on a term very well known to CFOs: Financial Planning & Analysis, or FP&A. How has it changed in the Digital Age? Is it possible to expand FP&A outside of finance? How are advancements in technology supporting the wider, more strategic role of finance? And finally, how ‘xP&A’ could become the future of finance.

Gartner has recently identified the emerging trend of Extended Planning and Analysis, coining the term “xP&A,” and views its capability as becoming an important market component of the future. According to the new research, “by 2024, Gartner expects FP&A to evolve to encompass xP&A, a strategy where the “x” denotes breaking down traditional silos between enterprise financial and operational planning processes in order to deliver new levels of transformative business value. The “x” represents consistent and continuous planning that extends beyond the finance domain into other areas of enterprise planning and analysis”
