12. Overview of Financial Management
Dev: A Finance Manager has many responsibilities. He has to manage all the incomes and expenses related to the company. He has to see that resources are not wasted anywhere. He has to negotiate with the suppliers. And see that all departments get the money to meet their expenses. Ajay: Please tell me more… Dev: Just as the Purchase Manager needs money to buy the raw materials, the Production Manager also has to maintain his machinery so that the production goes on smoothly. This maintenance also requires money. If Ranjeet does not give the required funds to either of them, the production will stop. What will ABC sell, if no textile is manufactured? Financial management involves several functions, especially in bigger companies.

13. Overview of Financial Management
Dev: Matching the income and expenditure is not the only job. Ranjeet has to allocate the cash, but at the same time, he has to see that equipment, workers, supplies, etc. are also being used properly. Wastage of any of these resources will affect the cash balances of ABC. Using resources efficiently will help ABC to reduce the costs of operations. At the same time, if resources are used efficiently, it will generate additional resources for the company. Ranjeet also has to analyze ABC’s financial performance. If the company is not able to make profits, he has to find out the reasons for it.

Financial accounting gives the financial status of the company to people outside the company. It is recording and reporting the activities and events that lead to cash inflow and outflow.
Financial management means efficiently managing the various resources of the company.

16. Financial accounting and Financial Management
Financial accounting aims at maintaining a clear record of the financial condition of the firm. Accounting measures the performance of the firm so that the situation of the company can be measured in financial terms.
Financial management is concerned with value maximization. Management’s efforts are for increasing the value of the company for the shareholders. This requires investing in projects that are likely to provide positive returns to the company.

17. Financial accounting and Financial Management
Certainty
Accounting is maintenance of financial records. So, it deals with what has already occurred. This makes it more certain.
A finance manager is concerned with what is going to happen in the future. He takes critical decisions that will affect the future of the company. These are based on various calculations and assessments. This is not easy because there are many uncertainties in financial management.

21. Objections to Profit Maximization
It is Vague
It Ignores the Timing of Returns
It Ignores Risk
In new business environment profit maximization is regarded as
Inappropriate and Immoral.

22. Shareholders’ Wealth Maximization
Maximizes the cash flow.
Accounts for the timing and risk of the expected benefits.
Fundamental objective—maximize the market value of the firm’s shares.

23. Risk-return Trade-off
Risk and expected return move in tandem; the greater the risk, the greater the expected return.
Financial decisions of the firm are guided by the risk-return trade-off.
The return and risk relationship: Return = Risk-free rate + Risk premium
Risk-free rate is a compensation for time and risk premium for risk.

24. Managers Versus Shareholders’ Goals
A company has stakeholders such as employees, debt-holders, consumers, suppliers, government and society.
Managers may perceive their role as reconciling conflicting objectives of stakeholders. This stakeholders’ view of managers’ role may compromise with the objective of SWM.
Managers may pursue their own personal goals at the cost of shareholders, or may play safe and create satisfactory wealth for shareholders than the maximum.
Managers may avoid taking high investment and financing risks that may otherwise be needed to maximize shareholders’ wealth. Such “satisfying” behaviour of managers will frustrate the objective of SWM as a normative guide.

25. Financial Goals and Firm’s Mission and Objectives
Firms’ primary objective is maximizing the welfare of owners, but, in operational terms, they focus on the satisfaction of its customers through the production of goods and services needed by them
Firms state their vision, mission and values in broad terms
Wealth maximization is more appropriately a decision criterion, rather than an objective or a goal.
Goals or objectives are missions or basic purposes of a firm’s existence

26. Financial Goals and Firm’s Mission and Objectives
The shareholders’ wealth maximization is the second-level criterion ensuring that the decision meets the minimum standard of the economic performance.
In the final decision-making, the judgement of management plays the crucial role. The wealth maximization criterion would simply indicate whether an action is economically viable or not.
