Welcome to Unit 4 Accounting, Finance, and Banking
Every day, business owners make financial decisions that will affect every phase of the business operation, such as payroll, cash flow, and projecting future growth. A thorough understanding of accounting and financial management allows business owners to find the best sources and use of funds. For example, you can derive an accurate measure of the health of your business from the income statement, balance sheets, and financial ratios. We investigate financing options, how to analyze credit and the time value of money. We also examine how banks, such as the US Federal Reserve Bank, affect the ability of businesses to obtain financing. You can start by reviewing the unit learning outcomes and then reviewing the unit resources.
