It is critical for FP&A practitioners to be able to apply scenarios to their forecasts, especially while operating during periods of uncertainty. This session demonstrates techniques to reduce uncertainty in decision-making by using practical examples and applying standard spreadsheet functionality already at your fingertips to build scenarios, data tables and Monte Carlo simulations. Additionally, this session provides attendees with best practices to reduce volatility, mitigate risk, and deal with unknowns that may impact decision-making.
