Welcome to 2013. It’s the start of a very busy year here at AFP with everything going on with FP&A. You still have time to submit a session proposal for our upcoming Annual Conference in Las Vegas in October.

Development continues on the FP&A certification. We continue to progress toward our first testing period in the early part of next year. There are still volunteering opportunities available. Please reach out to Stacy Saul at ssaul@afponline.org if you are interested in lending your support for this very important initiative.

Sincerely,
Brian Kalish, AFP Finance Practice Lead

Advanced Spreadsheet Functions for FP&A ProfessionalsMany FP&A professionals spend the majority of their day manually grinding through spreadsheets, wasting time on data manipulation instead of focusing on analysis. Certain advanced spreadsheet functions can help reduce time spent collecting and managing data and redirect that time to more productive ends.
Up Close: FP&A in BankingMany aspects of FP&A are fundamental across industries and markets. To the extent that the business models of industries differ, however, so too does the analysis. In traditional banking, two unique aspects of the business require significant analytical attention: the interest margin and asset quality.
