    Financial Leaders Research Attributes FP&A Gaps

    We asked 750 global financial leaders from across 14 industries to share their views on these three topics:

    • What is the current state of their FP&A?
    •  What are trendsetters doing differently to secure an advantage?
    • How are they preparing to meet the finance demands of the future?

    What the research found

    The TCS 2021 Global Financial Leadership Study revealed four critical areas where FP&A teams can sharpen their capabilities.

    • Adaptibility
    • Critical skill
    • Risk & Control
    • Data Driven Decision Making 

    Three attributes set Trendsetters apart from their peers.

    • Accelerated: They have higher FP&A maturity levels and rely more on data and analytics, and less on intuition, when planning and forecasting.
    • Agile: They can more easily adjust to swiftly changing circumstances and execute FP&A functions at speed.
    • Aspirational: They have moved beyond existing processes and are investing more in transformational FP&A capabilities.

     

    Finance leaders are rapidly plugging FP&A gaps.

    • The majority of organizations are increasing their technology investments to close FP&A gaps
    • Percentage planning to increase investments over the next 12 months.
