Financial Control

Financial control is concerned with the organization’s financial resources, and financial resources contain bank loan, mortgage, capital funds, cash flow and payment of debt. Financial control involves managing the organization’s debt so that it does not become excessive. It ensures the firm has enough cash on hand to meet its obligation.
