Financial Managers should make decisions that increase firm value, which effectively involve s three primary categories of financial decisions. 1. Capital budgeting – process of planning and managing a firm‘s investments in fixed assets . The key concerns are the size, timing , and risk of future cash flows. 2. Capital structure – mix of debt (borrowing) and equity (ownership interest) used by a firm . What are the least expensive sources of funds? Is th ere an optimal mix of debt and equity? When and where should the firm raise funds? 3. Working capital management – managing short -term assets and liabilities. How much inventory should the firm carry? What credit policy is best? Where will we get our shor t-
term loans? These broad categories, however, can be summarized with two concrete responsibilities: a. Selecting value creating projects b. Making smart financing decisions Slide 1. 10 Hypothetical Organization Chart The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) or Vice-President of Finance coordinates the activities of the treasurer and the controller.
