Financial management consists of all activities concerned with obtaining money and using it effectively. Financial management can be viewed as a two-sided problem.

On the other side, the activities a business can undertake are determined by the types of financing available. Financial managers must ensure that funds are available when needed, that they are obtained at the lowest possible cost, and that they are used as efficiently as possible.
