Financial Planning & Analysis
Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) is emerging as its own discipline, separate from accounting and treasury, and is forming strong relationships with the business to help drive financial results. FP&A professionals are seen as key business partners who deliver value and insight and play an important role in organizational planning processes. FP&A is one of APQC’s core focus areas within financial management for benchmarks and best practices research.
