AI August: The Summer of Smarter Finance

AI-Powered FP&A

Date: August 5, 2026 at 2 pm ET (11 am PT)

Forecasts often lag reality. Budgets rely on spreadsheets. Assumptions vary by team. By the time forecasts are complete, market conditions have shifted and leaders react instead of plan. Finance teams need better signals, earlier insight, and clearer decision support.

This webinar explains how AI supports forecasting, FP&A, and audit without replacing judgment. Through real scenarios, you will see how AI detects patterns, supports scenarios, improves budgeting, and surfaces risks using explainable models and dashboards.

Key takeaways:

  • Identify where AI improves forecast accuracy and speed
  • Apply AI to scenarios, budgeting, and FP&A review
  • Use anomaly detection to support audit readiness
