Financial planning and analysis: budgeting, forecasting and analysing financial results to support decisions.
FP&A turns financial and operational information into budgets, forecasts and analysis for business decisions. A team establishes plans, updates expectations as conditions change and compares actual results with forecasts or goals. Analysts investigate the drivers of differences and use financial models to assess possible outcomes. Accounting records provide an important input, while FP&A uses those records to help management decide what to do next. A budget sets a planned position for a period, whereas a forecast updates the expected outcome using the information currently available.
