It encompasses the processes of acquiring funds, allocating resources, and managing assets to achieve financial objectives. The discipline is divided into three primary categories: personal finance, corporate finance, and public finance. Personal finance involves individual and household budgeting, savings, investment strategies, and planning for future financial needs. Corporate finance concerns the financing and capital structure of corporations, including funding operations, managing investments, and maximizing shareholder value. Public finance deals with the income and expenditures of government entities, encompassing taxation, budget preparation, and public spending.
