Workshops & Conference Day One: May 19th, 2026

11:00 AM Workshop B4 DESIGNING FP&A CAPABILITIES IN GBS TO CREATE SCALE, IMPACT AND VALUE

As automation at scale is transforming finance processes and operating models, GBS should play an even more pivotal role to increase service scope and impact in non-transactional disciplines like FP&A. Let’s turn challenges into opportunities and share insights and opinions on how to develop FP&A capabilities in GBS, enable integration and standardisation of services and impress business stakeholder with value-adding services. We will focus our interactive exchange on key elements to increase functional efficiency and impact, including operating model elements and best practices for implementation:

• Understanding key opportunities and challenges when moving FP&A into a GBS environment
• Sharing extensive results from recent studies on service penetration, target operating models and best practices in implementation
• Discussing how GBS can enable maximum standardisation in FP&A while business stakeholders expect customisation
