The Association for Financial Professionals (AFP) and APQC partnered in the study Preparing for the Next Level of Financial Planning & Analysis. 

Research findings reveal that while FP&A is a maturing discipline, a few inhibiting factors remain. Over half the survey participants report their scope includes elements of business advisory beyond the traditional forecasting, budgeting and reporting and 75 percent of time is spent gathering data or administering the process. Inadequate systems and tools are the most pressing challenge for their organization's FP&A efforts.
