Relationship of Finance to Economics and Accounting
• Relationships to Accounting:
Accounting is concerned with score keeping, whereas
finance is aimed at value maximising.
The accountant prepares the accounting reports based on
the accrual method. The focus of the financial manager is
on cash flows.
Accounting deals primarily with the past. Finance is
concerned mainly with the future.
