H2: FAQ

Can FP&A teams put financial data into AI tools?

Only in approved tools and approved workflows. Training should use anonymised or synthetic examples unless the organisation has explicit controls.

What should FP&A teams verify?

Numbers, formulas, assumptions, time periods, source reports, commercial interpretation, and any recommendation that could influence a decision.

Where should FP&A teams start?

Start with draft commentary, scenario framing, stakeholder briefing notes, board-pack structure, and explanation of existing analysis rather than unsupervised calculation.
