Finance is the science of funds management. The general areas of finance are business finance, personal finance, and public finance. Finance includes saving money and often includes lending money. The field of finance deals with the concepts of time, money, and risk and how they are interrelated. It also deals with how money is spent and budgeted.

One aspect of finance is through individuals and business organizations, which deposit money in a bank. The bank then lends the money out to other individuals or corporations for consumption or investment, and charges interest on the loans.

Loans have become increasingly packaged for resale, meaning that an investor buys the loan (debt) from a bank or directly from a corporation. Bonds are debt instruments sold to investors for organizations such as companies, governments or charities. The investor can then hold the debt and collect the interest or sell the debt on a secondary market. Banks are the main facilitators of funding through the provision of credit, although private equity, mutual funds, hedge funds, and other organizations have become important as they invest in various forms of debt. Financial assets, known as investments, are financially managed with careful attention to financial risk management to control financial risk. Financial instruments allow many forms of securitized assets to be traded on securities exchanges such as stock exchanges, including debt such as bonds as well as equity in publicly traded corporations.

Central banks, such as the Federal Reserve System banks in the United States and Bank of England in the United Kingdom, are strong players in public finance, acting as lenders of last resort as well as strong influences on monetary and credit conditions in the economy.

How does financial aid as a visiting student work?
Q. I'm applying to be a visiting student at Columbia, and, assuming I get accepted, will the financial aid at my current university cover the cost at Columbia? On the Columbia website, it says that financial aid goes through your home university, so I'm looking for anyone who has some experience/knowledge about this. I have a full-ride at my home university, so I'm basically wanting to know if that can be used to pay for Columbia (?). Thanks!

A. You should talk with the financial aid office at your home school. It all depends on whether the scholarship at your home school is transferable for a semester somewhere else. If not, you may be able to receive federal aid through your home school's financial aid office if you have filed a FAFSA.

How does information from financial reports influence business decision making?
Q. How does information from financial reports influence business decision making? Why is it important for business managers to understand the information found on financial reports?
Asked by star_quality20 - Wed Jun 4 12:53:22 2008 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Financial reports allow business managers to see current numbers compared to years prior. It will allow them to see growth or loss. It let's them know where the company stands in the "market place" and what percentage of consumer spending in that market place is being spent on that company. It also helps in forcasting - the fortune teller responsibility - the BM looks at the years prior and sees that an increase or decrease is approaching and can order stock more efficiently. For instance - a BM at Home Depot - he will look at financial reports to see when is the best time for snow blowers to hit stores in the New England area as opposed to the same item to hit stores in the Mid West. It also allows the producers of said snow blowers… [cont.]

How do student loans affect financial aid?
Q. This year (freshman) all of my tuition is getting payed by government financial aid. However, I need money for other things like housing and credit cards. Will a student loan affect next year's financial aid even if all of the money were spent? What kind of student loan would be better to get, private or federal?
Asked by Erica V - Sat Jun 23 21:34:52 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If all your tuition is getting paid then you really don't need a student loan. Taking out a loan to pay for credit cards is not really a good idea because you just going to have to pay it off later with interest. If you decide to get one anyways, Federal loans charge a lower interest rate than private loans. I believe it's 6.54% and is capped at 8%.
