xP&A, also known as collaborative planning, refers to extended planning capabilities across various functions of an organisation; not just finance, but sales, HR, procurement, marketing, etc. The latest technological advancements have enhanced FP&A frameworks in such a way that the office of Finance can now expand the traditional FP&A process to the entire organisations to ensure long-term success.
