Financial forecasting and resource planning can be challenging under any circumstances, but today there is more demand from operating managers for forward-looking, driver-based analysis and scenario testing. APQC has found early indications that CFOs and controllers want to strengthen financial planning and analysis (FP&A) capabilities, thereby making FP&A more dynamic.

Dynamic FP&A allows finance to provide valuable insight into the business and help with decision support and increasing revenue growth and/or profitability.
