Financial Planning and Analysis (In-House)
As organizations around the globe continue to adjust to economic uncertainties, the need for experienced finance professionals in the corporate environment has steadily increased over the past several years. As a result, many firms are seeking the most qualified individuals to analyze trends and manage the financial future of their organization. For individuals who practice financial planning and analysis (FP&A), this unique professional designation will enable them to differentiate themselves within the finance profession and validate their understanding of the complex processes, tools and uniform standards. It will also allow employers to identify the best candidates.
As the finance industry continues its transformation globally, FP&A professionals need to spend less time on basic budgeting and reporting responsibilities, and more on analysis and recommendations to drive the organization’s future growth. The AFP FP&A Learning System is a comprehensive and flexible educational program for FP&A professionals, designed to address a need for new skills required by the new industry priorities. This valuable study tool offers online and print study materials including e-flashcards, case studies, practice exams and mobile tools.
