...the reasons for this variance. The term "strategic" means that this approach to financial management has a long-term horizon At the most fundamental level, financial management is concerned with managing an organization's assets, liabilities, revenues, profitability and cash flow. Strategic financial management goes a step further in ensuring that the organization remains on track to attain its short-term and long-term goals, while maximizing value for its shareholders. Strategic financial management also means that short-term goals may occasionally need to be sacrificed to meet longer-term objectives. A typical example is when a loss-making company trims its asset base through factory closures or headcount reduction in order to reduce operating expenses. While such actions have a detrimental effect on near-term results because of restructuring costs and other one-time items, it positions the company to achieve profitability in the longer term. (c ) Short Term Financial Management and Strategy Chapter 15: Short Term Financial Management Learning Goals Describe the scope of short-term financial management and the cash conversion cycle. Explain the funding requirements of the cash conversion cycle and strategies for minimizing negotiated liabilities. Understand inventory management:...
