In today’s volatile business environment, finance and supply chain functions can no longer operate in silos. Extended Planning and Analysis (XP&A) connects financial and operational planning, bringing together budgeting, forecasting, and supply chain planning into one continuous process.

In this session, KPMG will share insights from their 2025 white paper on accelerating financial performance through SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP). We’ll explore how CFOs and planning leaders can unlock speed to value by connecting finance and S&OP, leveraging AI to improve forecast accuracy, and driving the cultural and behavioural change needed for adoption.

Key Takeaways:
- How SAP IBP can optimise financial performance and planning
- How finance and S&OP can work together to improve forecasts that impact revenue, inventory, cash flow, and margin analysis
- The role of AI in enabling faster, smarter, and more connected planning
