What is Financial planning and analysis (FP&A)?

The finance function that prepares the annual budget, periodic forecasts and actual-versus-budget comparisons to support management decisions.

Rolling forecasts, scenario analysis and key performance indicators are its main tools. In a high-inflation environment, tracking budgets in both real and nominal terms helps interpret variances correctly.
