FINANCE AND FINANCIAL SYSTEM

Finance is the provision of money at the time when it is needed. It is a system of monetary relations leading to formation, distribution and use of money in the process of its turnover between economic entities.

The financial system is the network of institutions through which firms, households and units of government get the funds they need and put surplus funds to work.

Savers and borrowers are connected by financial intermediaries including banks, thrift institutions, insurance companies, pension funds, mutual funds, and finance companies.

Finance in an economic system comprises two parts: public finance and finance of economic entities.

Public finance is the provision of money (by the community through taxes) to be spent by national and local government authorities on projects of national and local benefit. It is a collective term for the financial flows and also the financial institutions of the public sector.

Public finance has the following four functions:

a)     the provision of essential services;

b)    the encouragement or control of particular sectors of the economy;

c)     the implementation of social policy in respect of social services;

d)    the encouragement of the growth of the economy as a whole.

The major instrument of any financial system is the budget. In a market-oriented economy, the budget is the most important tool for achieving national priority and goals through the allocation and distribution of resources, and the maintenance of stable macroeconomic environment.

The budget is an estimate of national revenue and expenditure for the ensuing fiscal year. When expenditure exceeds the revenue the budget has a deficit.

Revenue and expenditure forecasting is the most fundamental step in the process of budget preparation. Adequate planning of recurrent and capital expenditure depends critically on an accurate forecast of revenue availability. The determination of the expected overall deficit in the public sector and therefore the macroeconomic impact of fiscal policy requires accurate forecast of tax collection and expenditures.

In Ukraine, public finance is a sum of the budgets of all levels of subjects of the state, extra budgetary and reserve funds.

Budget preparation at the national level involves a number of institutions. The Ministry of Finance (MOF) is the central coordinating institution in charge of compiling and presenting the budget. It has major inputs from2 ministries in various sectors of the economy and the state tax bodies.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

The role of finance in business is huge. Financial managers use data obtained from accountants and recommend to the top management how to improve the financial strength of a firm. They plan budgets, control the funds, obtain and collect the funds, manage taxes and take up audit matters. A true manager must understand accounting, the same as a good accountant has to be aware of finance.

Finance is the function in business responsible for getting funds for a firm, managing funds within a firm and planning possible expenditures of funds on various assets. A person who obtains, plans and controls money effectively is known as a vice president of finance or treasurer. One may observe financial management as a logical structure involving corporate goals, financial plan, obtaining funds, managing these funds, spending the funds and managing taxes.

Even if the work performed by financial managers is perfect, different financial problems might appear. The most common are: poor cash flow, undercapitalization (when one has not enough money to start-up) and inadequate expense control. How to obtain the funds to solve these problems? We may speak about long-term and short-term financing as the ways to consider a difficult financial situation in a firm.

Long-term loan is money acquired from the owners of the firm or lenders not expecting this money being repaid within the period of 2 or more years. The money is usually used to finance larger expenses such as buying equipment or long-term assets or just expanding of an organization.

When an enterprise is starting its business, it’s hard to recover enough money to keep the track. Sometimes, additional funds are required. Then a company may obtain capital that involves the public sale of stock that is referred to as equity financing.

Businesses often have some smaller expenses such as unexpected bills, for instance or cash necessary to cover day-to-day spending. So, business needs short-term funds when other funds run out. Short-term loans are those necessary to be repaid in less than a year.

FINANCIAL PLANNING

Financial planning stands for short-run and long-run money flows to and from a firm. Its objective is to optimize profits and guarantee the best use of money.

People in business may earn money in different ways, either producing and selling goods and services or investing into other ventures. Security markets enable businesses and investors to buy and sell stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Stock exchanges let their members buy and sell securities to the public. A middleman who buys and sells securities for the clients is called a stockbroker.

The principle of successful business is very simple: one has to be aware of how to accumulate capital, invest it to get as much income as one can and to earn more than one spends. To build one's capital account, it's advisable one should make the list of "WHAT TO DO NEXTs". There are people who assist families in developing a comprehensive program involving insurance, invest­ments, taxes etc., called financial planners. Those involved in business should consider the problem of insurance coverage pro­tecting life, health and a firm from the possible accidents, failures and losses. They should meditate over the best way of investing money to promote a venture, reduce taxes as much as possible and use help from professionals to cope with difficulties.

Task 2.  Read and translate the text:

 

WHY FINANCE

       One of primary considerations when going into business is money. Without sufficient funds a company cannot begin operations. The money needed to start and continue operating a business is known as capital. A new business needs capital not only for ongoing expenses but also for purchasing necessary assets. These assets – inventories, equipment, buildings, and property – represent an investment of capital in the new business.

       How this new company obtains and uses money will, in large measure, determine its success. The process of managing this acquired capital is known as financial management. In general, finance is securing and utilizing capital to start up, operate, and expand a company.

       To start up or begin business, a company needs funds to purchase essential assets, support research and development, and buy materials for production. Capital is also needed for salaries, credit extension to customers, advertising, insurance, and many other day-to-day operations. In addition, financing is essential for growth and expansion of a company. Because of competition in the market, capital needs to be invested in developing new product lines and production techniques and in acquiring assets for future expansion.

       In financing business operations and expansion, a business uses both short-term and long-term capital. A company, much like an individual, utilizes short-term capital to pay for items that last a relatively short period of time. An individual uses credit cards or charge accounts for items such as clothing or food, while a company seeks short-term financing for salaries and office expenses. On the other hand, an individual uses long-term capital such as a bank loan to pay for a home or car-goods that with last a long time. Similarly, a company seeks long-term financing to pay for new assets that are expected to last many years.

       When a company obtains capital from external sources, the financing can be either on a short-term or a long-term arrangement. Generally, short-term financing must be repaid in less than one year, while long-term financing can be repaid over a longer period of time.

       Finance involves the securing of funds for all phases of business operations. In obtaining and using this capital, the decisions made by managers affect the overall financial success of a company.

SOURCES OF FINANCE

 

     For the well-established firm, the most obvious source of finance is its own profits. Instead of paying out all its profits to its shareholders, the firm can retain some within the business. Using retained profits in the business is described as «ploughing back the profits». It is an important source of finance for the larger firm.      In the case of a very small firm, the necessary money will be provided by the proprietor and his family and friends with, perhaps, a loan from the local bank.      Loans can be short-term and long-term ones. Short-term loans are usually repayable within three years. Many such loans are for periods of one year or less. The sources of loans are as follows:

• overdrafts

• bills of exchange

• trade credits

• hire purchases

• leasing.

     A bank overdraft is the most widely used type of short-term finance. The bank allows the company to overdraw its account by some agreed amount. Interest is charged by the bank only on the amount overdrawn. It is one of the cheaper forms of borrowing.

     Bills of exchange enable the company to obtain short-term finance from a bank or discount house where they send bills of exchange for discounting.      Trade credits are quite normal in business. They are often granted by the sellers allowing the buyers to pay in some time, say in three months.

     A firm may acquire some equipment such as cars, lorries, office equipment and some type of machinery on hire-purchase terms. It makes a deposit and pays the outstanding amount by installments over two or three years. Ownership passes to the buyer when the final installment is paid.

    In case of leasing the firm will also pay the outstanding amount by installments over two or three years. When the final installment is paid ownership does not pass to the buyer.

Sometimes companies prefer or have to obtain loans and buy the equipment. In these cases they try to obtain long-term credits though they are rather expensive, which means a high interest to be paid.

 

 

Task 3. Choose the best answer:

1.     What is the most obvious source of finance for the well-established firm?

a)    borrowing

b)    own profits

c)     bank loans

WHERE TO LOCATE THE LUCRE

If you have just won the national lottery, financing your new business will not be a problem for you. If, however, you are like most small entrepreneurs, you will wonder how you can find enough cash to be able to pay for your equipment, your rent and your advertising. Advertising is a crucial aspect of your business venture. Without it, perhaps, there is no use bothering to create your product. After all, you will not sell a single item if you do not find customers. One finds customers by advertising, and advertising takes money. You need capital to get your business going, to buy inventory, secure property, and purchase all necessary assets. The success of your business depends much on your knowing to manage your money.

If you hire anyone, you will, of course, need to pay a salary, and if you want your business to expand, you will need capital for research, growth, and expansion.

Fortunately for the new businessman, there are two basic ways of financing a business venture: debt financing and equity financing.

Debt financing is the money you borrow for you business. You can, of course, always try to borrow from your rich uncle, you can also, if you prove to yourself the risk is worth taking, borrow from a bank.

Equity financing is an interesting way of raising capital by using the potential power of your business. This means that you can shares the stock of your business to raise money, that is, the buyer of your stock owns a certain percentage of your business. If someone buys 150 shares of your business, it means that this person owns 150 shares of your resources, materials, plants, production, and profits. If such a person shares your risk, he/she will naturally enough also share your gain. Besides selling shares, you could also, possibly, sell corporate bonds. A corporate bond must be repaid with interest at a pre-agreed-upon date (the date of maturation).

         If your business succeeds all those who invested in you or lent you money will be glad they did!
