Key Definitions:
• Accounting is measurement, processing and communication of
financial information about economic entities. Accounting,
which has been called the "language of business", measures
the results of an organization's economic activities and
conveys this information to a variety of users, including
investors, creditors, management, and regulators. Practitioners
of accounting are known as accountants. The terms
'accounting' and 'financial reporting' are often used as
synonyms.
• Finance is a field that deals with the study of investments. It
includes the dynamics of assets and liabilities over time under
conditions of different degrees of uncertainty and risk. Finance
can also be defined as the science of money management.
Finance aims to price assets based on their risk level and their
expected rate of return. Finance can be broken into three
different sub-categories: public finance, corporate finance and
personal finance.
