Information and Risk
To improve the decision-making process, the information used by individuals and business firms must be relevant.
Using relevant information results in better decisions.
Relevant information → Better intelligence and knowledge → Better decisions
For businesses, better intelligence and knowledge that lead to better decisions are especially important because they can provide a competitive edge over competitors and improve a firm’s profits.

Pride/Hughes/Kapoor, Foundations of Business, 6th Edition. © 2019 Cengage. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.

A Firm’s Information Requirements (2 of 2)
Managers in each of these areas need specific information in order to make decisions.
Financial managers must ensure that the firm’s managers and employees, lenders and suppliers, stockholders and potential investors, and government agencies have the information they need to measure the financial health of the firm.
Operations managers are concerned with present and future sales levels, current inventory levels of work in process and finished goods, and the availability and cost of the resources required to produce goods and services.
Marketing managers need to have detailed information about a firm’s products and services and those offered by competitors.
Human resources managers must be aware of anything that pertains to a firm’s employees.
Administrative managers are responsible for the overall management of the organization.

Why Accounting Information Is Important
Accounting – the process of systematically collecting, analyzing, and reporting financial information
Not only can accounting information be used to answer questions about what has happened in the past, it can also be used to help make decisions about the future.
To improve the accuracy of a firm’s accounting information and its financial statements, businesses rely on audits conducted by accountants employed by public accounting firms.

Why Audited Financial Statements Are Important
Audit – an examination of a company’s financial statements and the accounting practices that produced them
The purpose of an audit is to make sure that a firm’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Generally accepted accounting principles (G A A P s) – an accepted set of guidelines and practices for U.S. companies reporting financial information and for the accounting profession

Accounting Fraud, Ethical Behavior, and Reform
Accounting problems at many companies have forced many investors, lenders and suppliers, and government regulators to question the motives behind fraudulent and unethical accounting practices.
Unfortunately, the ones hurt when companies report inaccurate or misleading accounting information often are not the high-paid corporate executives; rather, it’s the employees, who lose their jobs and the money they invested in the company’s retirement program if the company files for bankruptcy, and the investors, lenders, and suppliers, who experience a loss due to their investments in the company based on fraudulent accounting information.
To help ensure that corporate financial information is accurate and to prevent accounting scandals, Congress enacted the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

The Need for Financial Management
Financial management – all the activities concerned with obtaining money and using it effectively
Proper financial management must ensure that:
Funds are available when needed both now and in the future, obtained at the lowest possible cost, and used as efficiently as possible.
Financing priorities are established in line with organizational goals and objectives.
Spending is planned and controlled.
A firm’s credit customers pay their bills on time, and the number of past due accounts is reduced.
Bills are paid promptly to protect the firm’s credit rating and its ability to borrow money.
The funds required for paying the firm’s taxes are available when needed to meet tax deadlines.
Excess cash is invested in certificates of deposit (CDs), government securities, or conservative, marketable securities.

Developing the Financial Plan
Budget – a financial statement that projects income, expenditures, or both over a specified future period
Cash budget – a financial statement that estimates cash receipts and cash expenditures over a specified period
Most firms use one of two approaches to budgeting.
Traditional approach – a budgeting approach in which each new budget is based on the dollar amounts contained in the budget for the preceding year, the amounts are modified to reflect any revised goals, and managers are required to justify only new expenditures
Zero-base budgeting – a budgeting approach in which every expense in every budget must be justified
To develop a plan for long-term financing needs, managers often construct a capital budget.
Capital budget – a financial statement that estimates a firm’s expenditures for major assets and its long-term financing needs

Traditional Banking Services for Business Clients (1 of 2)

A business with excess cash it is willing to leave on deposit with a bank for a set period of time can earn a higher rate of interest.
To do so, the business firm buys a certificate of deposit.

Business Loans
Short-term business loans:
Must be repaid within one year or less
To help ensure that short-term money will be available when needed, many firms establish a line of credit.
Line of credit – a loan that is approved before the money is actually needed
Revolving credit agreement – a guaranteed line of credit
Long-term business loans:
Are repaid over a period of years
Most lenders require some type of collateral for long-term loans.
Collateral – real estate or property pledged as security for a loan

Credit and Debit Card Transactions
A recent Gallup poll found that:
Three out of four Americans (76 percent) have at least one credit card.
On average, Americans have 3.4 credit cards.
Half of Americans (48 percent) are carrying credit card debt from one month to the next because they don’t pay their entire credit card debt each month.
By depositing charge slips into a bank or other financial institution, the merchant can convert credit-card sales into cash.
In return for processing the merchant’s credit-card transactions, the financial institution charges a fee that generally ranges between 1.5 and 4 percent.
Debit card – a card that electronically subtracts the amount of a customer’s purchase from her or his bank account at the moment the purchase is made
