Financial management    
        
Financial service provision is a business and managers have to understand the nature of their business and how to manage it effectively. Banks differ from cooperatives which differ from development oriented microfinance organisations, but all will wish to succeed in meeting their objectives and remaining in business. All will be involved in mobilising funds and using them to make loans. All, therefore, have to manage their assets, liabilities, liquidity, debtors, creditors, income and expenditure in a competent and effective manner.

This topic covers the crucial elements of financial management, including accounts, costing and pricing, sources of funds and debt recovery.
