Helping you address the key FP&A challenges
in Financial Services
Data Complexity and Integrity
Financial services firms often deal with vast amounts of data coming from various sources, such as trading systems, banking platforms, and customer databases. Ensuring data consistency, accuracy, and timeliness becomes a mammoth task. Workday Adaptive Planning can consolidate data into a single platform, ensuring consistent and up-to-date information is available for effective decision-making.
Regulatory Compliance and Reporting
The financial services sector is heavily regulated, and regulations often change. FP&A teams must ensure that their financial models and reports comply with current standards, which can mean frequent updates and checks. Workday Adaptive Planning offers multi-dimensional reporting capabilities to support strategic decision-making, whilst ensuring regulatory compliance.
Forecasting in a Volatile Environment
Economic factors, market dynamics, interest rates, and geopolitical events can greatly impact financial services. Accurately forecasting in such a volatile environment, where models might become outdated quickly, is challenging. Workday Adaptive Planning makes forecasting a simple, continuous and fast process with connected, driver-based planning rules that can update a complete forecast whenever data, drivers or KPIs change.
Sustainable Finance and ESG Reporting
There’s growing recognition of the financial risks associated with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues. Regulators are increasingly expecting financial institutions to disclose their ESG risks and how they’re managed. Using Workday Adaptive Planning to assess multiple scenarios helps to reduce these risks.
