INTRODUCTION:

Financial management is the direction of the flow of money in and out of an

organization. Every business must sell products or services, pay expenses,
balance books and report taxes. Financial management includes all of these, as
well as more complex processes such as paying employees, purchasing supplies,
and reporting to government agencies to demonstrate compliance with
applicable laws and regulations. Controlling all these transactions for the good
of the company is what we mean when we talk about corporate financial
management. Generally, the larger the company, the more complex financial
management becomes.Financial management personnel are responsible for all
the money that enters and leaves the company. Smaller businesses have at least
one accountant or bookkeeper who works with the bank to handle their
transactions and track cash flow. Large companies often have entire financial
teams led by a CFO, controller, CFO or some similar value.

IMP:

Financial management is important because it keeps the company solvent. Its

main purpose is to ensure that the company does not go bankrupt. Financial
management deals with the most critical issues that a business can face, such as
loss of income (as happened during the COVID-19 pandemic), natural disasters,
strikes, wars, etc. Beyond basic survival, good financial management—and
financial management software—can help a business grow and succeed.
Finance teams have many tools they can use to drive the growth of their
business. With good market conditions, a growing economy and low interest
rates, financial teams can borrow money from banks, raise funds from venture
capitalists or take the company public (ie, sell shares on the stock market). The
company can invest these funds in growth by opening new locations, expanding
into other areas, upgrading equipment, etc. When market conditions are
unfavorable—such as during a recession—financial management tactics may
include cutting costs through layoffs or closing unprofitable
businesses.Improving productivity is an important part of financial
management. Finance teams often work with sales and marketing teams to set
prices for a company's products or services. They have to strike a balance to set
the right prices. If prices are too high, customers may switch to cheaper
competitors; too low, the company may not generate enough revenue to cover
costs. Similarly, cost management is also one of the central tasks of the finance
team, be it staff, rent, electricity, raw materials or supply costs..

Financial Management Software - Reports and Analysis

Most financial management systems do a good job of providing dynamic

visibility into business data. In the last century, ERP software managed to
collect very large amounts of business data, but struggled to generate reports.
That was then.Today's organizations want the ability to use their financial data
to improve profitability, streamline operations and improve decision making. In
recent years, the ability to generate and monitor reporting and other information
has become much more important for organizations. Reporting requirements for
financial management systems have rapidly evolved to meet demand.All
businesses need at least monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements, as
well as basic financial statements of income, expenses and expenses. balances
Although these outputs were always available, it was not easy to modify these
reports or add derivatives for other needs.In our fast-paced business
environment, it is not easy to easily create both ready-made reports and ad hoc
outputs. it's just a nice thing—it's a critical requirement for financial
management system software. With increasing demands for deep data analysis,
data visualization, more customizable visibility and narrative reporting,
companies are quickly realizing that their ERP software solutions simply need
to work with advanced reporting systems such as Enterprise Performance
Management (EPM) solutions..
