Financial Planning is a vital part of Financial Management. Planning is the first function of management. Before embarking on any venture, the company must have a plan.
Before initiating a new business, the organization puts an immense focus on the topic of Financial Planning. Financial planning is the plan needed for estimating the fund requirements of a business and determining the sources for the same. It essentially includes generating a financial blueprint for the company’s future activities.

Financial planners and those interested in performing financial planning services will understand the legislative history of the profession.
