The significance of financial management

First, financial management is not the maximization of book profit, but the maximization of enterprise value.

Financial management is managed from the perspective of funds, emphasizing the appreciation of funds under the condition of a virtuous circle of funds. People are increasingly evaluating the quality of enterprise management from the operation of enterprise funds.

Two, financial management can not simply emphasize reducing costs, expenses and expenses.

Cost management is one of the key points of financial management. In the traditional sense, cost management is to save costs and reduce expenditures. Yes, reducing costs will inevitably increase profits, but increasing costs does not mean that profits will definitely decrease.

Third, attaching importance to financial management is not to ignore and deny the role of other management work in enterprises.

Focusing on financial management and emphasizing the central position of financial management is by no means ignoring or denying the role of other management work in enterprises.
