Learning outcomes
At the end of this chapter, the reader will have a balanced perspective on the purpose and
value of the finance function, at both the corporate and the national level. More specifically,
UV
the reader should be able to:

• describe alternative views on the purpose of the business and show the importance to any
organisation of clarity on this point;

• describe the impact of the divorce of corporate ownership from day-to-day managerial
control;
IA
• explain the role of the financial manager;

• detail the value of financial intermediaries;
_A
• show an appreciation of the function of the major financial institutions and markets.

Key points and concepts
• Firms should clearly define the objective of the enterprise to provide a focus for decision
PP
making.

• Sound financial management is necessary for the achievement of all stakeholder goals.

• Some stakeholders will have their returns satisficed – given just enough to make their
contribution. One (or more) group(s) will have their returns maximised – given any
RO
surplus after all others have been satisfied.

• The assumed objective of the firm for finance is to maximise shareholder wealth.
Reasons:
• practical, a single objective leads to clearer decisions;
VE
• the contractual theory;
• survival in a competitive world;
• it is better for society;
• counters the tendency of managers to pursue goals for their own benefit;
D?
• they own the firm.

• Maximising shareholder wealth is maximising purchasing power or maximising the
flow of discounted cash flow to shareholders over a long time horizon.

• Profit maximisation is not the same as shareholder wealth maximisation. Some factors a
profit comparison does not allow for:
ST
• future prospects;
• risk;
• accounting problems;
•
UV
communication;
• additional capital.

• Corporate governance. Large corporations usually have a separation of ownership and
control. This may lead to managerialism where the agent (the managers) takes decisions
primarily with their interests in mind rather than those of the principals (the shareholders).
This is a principal–agent problem. Some solutions:
IA
• corporate governance regulation;
• link managerial rewards to shareholder wealth improvement;
• sackings;
_A
• selling shares and the takeover threat;
• improve information flow.

• Financial institutions and markets encourage growth and progress by mobilising
PP
savings and encouraging investment.

• Financial managers contribute to firms’ success primarily through investment and
finance decisions. Their knowledge of financial markets, investment appraisal methods,
treasury, risk management and value analysis techniques is vital for company growth and
stability.
RO
• Financial institutions encourage the flow of saving into investment by acting as brokers
and asset transformers, thus alleviating the conflict of preferences between the primary
investors (households) and the ultimate borrowers (firms).

• Asset transformation is the creation of an intermediate security with characteristics
appealing to the primary investor to attract funds, which are then made available to the
VE
ultimate borrower in a form appropriate to them. Types of asset transformation:
• risk transformation;
• maturity transformation;
• volume transformation.
