The term finance may thus incorporate any of the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The study of money and other assets;&lt;br /&gt;The management and control of those assets;&lt;br /&gt;Profiling and managing project risks;&lt;br /&gt;As a verb, "to finance" is to provide funds for business.&lt;br /&gt;The activity of finance is the application of a set of techniques that individuals and organizations (entities) use to manage their financial affairs, particularly the differences between income and expenditure and the risks of their investments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An entity whose income exceeds its expenditure can lend or invest the excess income. On the other hand, an entity whose income is less than its expenditure can raise capital by borrowing or selling equity claims, decreasing its expenses, or increasing its income. The lender can find a borrower, a financial intermediary, such as a bank or buy notes or bonds in the bond market. The lender receives interest, the borrower pays a higher interest than the lender receives, and the financial intermediary pockets the difference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A bank aggregates the activities of many borrowers and lenders. A bank accepts deposits from lenders, on which it pays the interest. The bank then lends these deposits to borrowers. Banks allow borrowers and lenders, of different sizes, to coordinate their activity. Banks are thus compensators of money flows in space.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finance is used by individuals (personal finance), by governments (public finance), by businesses (corporate finance), etc., as well as by a wide variety of organizations including schools and non-profit organizations. In general, the goals of each of the above activities are achieved through the use of appropriate financial instruments, with consideration to their institutional setting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finance is one of the most important aspects of business management. Without proper financial planning a new enterprise is unlikely to be successful. Managing money (a liquid asset) is essential to ensure a secure future, both for the individual and an organization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8203370794055008351-1856555922017415951?l=finances.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://finances.blogspot.com/feeds/1856555922017415951/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8203370794055008351&amp;postID=1856555922017415951' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8203370794055008351/posts/default/1856555922017415951'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8203370794055008351/posts/default/1856555922017415951'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://finances.blogspot.com/2007/05/home.html' title='Finance'/><author><name>AJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07332887984690137785</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8203370794055008351.post-5567661717259019536</id><published>2007-05-21T15:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-21T15:27:05.203-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Finance Qualifications</title><content type='html'>There are several related professional qualifications in finance, that can lead to the field:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Qualified accountant qualifications:&lt;/strong&gt; Chartered Certified Accountant (ACCA, UK certification), Chartered Accountant (CA, certification in Commonwealth countries), Certified Public Accountant (CPA, US certification)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Non-statutory accountancy qualifications:&lt;/strong&gt; Chartered Cost Accountant CCA Designation from AAFM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Business qualifications:&lt;/strong&gt; Master of Business Administration (MBA), Doctor of Business Administration (DBA)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Finance qualifications:&lt;/strong&gt; Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA),Certified International Investment Analyst(CIIA), Association of Corporate Treasurers (ACT), Masters degree in Finance, Certified Market Analyst (CMA/FAD) Dual Designation, Master Financial Manager (MFM), Corporate Finance Qualification (CF)&lt;br /&gt;Quantitative Finance qualifications: Master of Quantitative Finance (MQF), Master of Computational Finance (MCF), Master of Financial Mathematics (MFM)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8203370794055008351-5567661717259019536?l=finances.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://finances.blogspot.com/feeds/5567661717259019536/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8203370794055008351&amp;postID=5567661717259019536' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8203370794055008351/posts/default/5567661717259019536'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8203370794055008351/posts/default/5567661717259019536'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://finances.blogspot.com/2007/05/finance-qualifications.html' title='Finance Qualifications'/><author><name>AJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07332887984690137785</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8203370794055008351.post-6844827080357387867</id><published>2007-05-21T15:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-21T15:22:17.499-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Business Finance</title><content type='html'>In the case of a company, managerial finance or corporate finance is the task of providing the funds for the corporations' activities. It generally involves balancing risk and profitability. Long term funds would be provided by ownership equity and long-term credit, often in the form of bonds. These decisions lead to the company's capital structure. Short term funding or working capital is mostly provided by banks extending a line of credit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the bond market, borrowers package their debt in the form of bonds. The borrower receives the money it borrows by selling the bond, which includes a promise to repay the value of the bond with interest. The purchaser of a bond can resell the bond, so the actual recipient of interest payments can change over time. Bonds allow lenders to recoup the value of their loan by simply selling the bond.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another business decision concerning finance is investment, or fund management. An investment is an acquisition of an asset in the hopes that it will maintain or increase its value. In investment management - in choosing a portfolio - one has to decide what, how much and when to invest. In doing so, one needs to&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Identify relevant objectives and constraints: institution or individual - goals - time horizon - risk aversion - tax considerations &lt;br /&gt;Identify the appropriate strategy: active vs passive - hedging strategy &lt;br /&gt;Measure the portfolio performance &lt;br /&gt;Financial management is duplicate with the financial function of the Accounting profession. However, Financial Accounting is more concerned with the reporting of historical financial information, while the financial decision is directed toward the future of the firm.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8203370794055008351-6844827080357387867?l=finances.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://finances.blogspot.com/feeds/6844827080357387867/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8203370794055008351&amp;postID=6844827080357387867' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8203370794055008351/posts/default/6844827080357387867'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8203370794055008351/posts/default/6844827080357387867'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://finances.blogspot.com/2007/05/business-finance.html' title='Business Finance'/><author><name>AJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07332887984690137785</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8203370794055008351.post-5147622165084410735</id><published>2007-05-21T15:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-21T15:20:15.366-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Personal Finance</title><content type='html'>Questions in personal finance revolve around&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How much money will be needed by an individual (or by a family) at various points in the future? &lt;br /&gt;Where will this money come from (e.g. savings or borrowing)? &lt;br /&gt;How can people protect themselves against unforeseen events in their lives, and risk in financial markets? &lt;br /&gt;How can family assets be best transferred across generations (bequests and inheritance)? &lt;br /&gt;How do taxes (tax subsidies or penalties) affect personal financial decisions? &lt;br /&gt;Personal financial decisions may involve paying for education, financing durable goods such as real estate and cars, buying insurance, e.g. health and property insurance, investing and saving for retirement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personal financial decisions may also involve paying for a loan.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8203370794055008351-5147622165084410735?l=finances.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://finances.blogspot.com/feeds/5147622165084410735/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8203370794055008351&amp;postID=5147622165084410735' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8203370794055008351/posts/default/5147622165084410735'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8203370794055008351/posts/default/5147622165084410735'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://finances.blogspot.com/2007/05/personal-finance.html' title='Personal Finance'/><author><name>AJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07332887984690137785</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
