3.1 Difference between business ethics, corporate governance and accounting ethics as controls on business accountability

The major point of difference between business ethics and corporate governance of an organization is that ethics are termed as descent standard of philosophy and moral which a corporate attempt to stand but the corporate governance is a way with the help of which an organization attempts to remain ethical with the maximizing of profit. Depending on the type of organization corporate governance, vary in terms of obligations. Whereas, accounting ethics are the access of financial information to an accountant. This power of an accountant of the firm benefits the organization in terms of enhancement of company's perception regarding the abuse of information or manipulation of numbers. The main difference between business ethics, corporate governance and accounting ethics is that al of them are set by different authorities in order for the smooth functioning of a firm (Crane and Matten 2016.). Business ethics are decided by the management of an organization itself, corporate governance are abided by the law which includes honesty and transparency in accounting or in other management practice of the organization and accounting ethics are decided by International Accounting Standard Committee (IASC) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) with the usage and application of these standards. All the ethics and the corporate governance are set for the to carry the one objective and that is smooth functioning of an organization by remaining ethical but all have different aim of application and are formed to solve the various issues of a business.

3.2 Assessing the role of the finance director/chief financial officer as a guardian of business ethics

The operation in finance of a corporation is uniquely qualified in order to take the role of leadership in fetching out the ethics of an organization because finance has been plugged virtually into all the facets of a business. A chief financial officer has so many responsibilities and roles to carry very effectively (Soltani  and Maupetit 2015). They put all the emphasis on face to face conversation with the employees which includes the financial boot camps and different skill-up meetings where a CFO has to be present for employees at various levels of an organization. Some of the roles has been discussed below: -

  • The primary role of a finance director is to identify the individuals with appropriate financial profile in order to act properly in the primary function with the finance eye. '
  • To provide the various training programs according to the enterprise.
  • Conducting the implementation of compliance practices and ensuring the activities that support governance.
  • In order to have best results, a CFO has to partner up with the technology function to fetch the best results for the organization with less efforts which in return increases the technological productivity as the planning for resources of an enterprise are planned well beforehand and not autonomous.
  • The most vital function of finance director is to assist the internal customers including the individuals of organization such as operation manager, who needs the financial data to determine the decisions on pricing etc.

3.3 Analysing the key concepts and principles of corporate governance that may impact on business decisions

  • The Board has approved the corporate strategy which aims to generate sustainable long-term value for an organization by selecting a chief executive officer (CEO). This principle impacts positively to the organization in the form of capital allocation for long-term growth and managing the risks effectively by setting the objective of 'tone at the top' for ethical conduct of business decisions of an organization.
  • Management produces the oversight of the board and the committee for an organization who is responsible for producing the financial reports of the business that shows financial position of the organization (AUTHOR and DIRECTOR 2015). Business decisions are affected at the time of results of operations when there are disclosures of investors who are interested in assessing the financial and business soundness.
  • Corporate governance allows the organization to put forward the positive traits on display for the investors. On being made visible it impacts the organization to be accountable for the behaviours and actions and thus the companies are more away from duplicity.
  • In the attempt to minimize the risk of distrust, organizations go out of their way to fulfil the social responsibility in the materials of corporate governance.
  • Another strategy of corporate governance which lays emphasis on various organization's culture in order to put business priorities aside. The unique culture of a firm evades everything from vision to values, work environment etc. in this way it impacts the business decisions to set values, rules of working and vision.

3.4 Examining key national and international financial reporting standards that are relevant to business decisions

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are a specific defined set of accounting standards which states the way of reporting the particular type of transaction and other business events. They are issued by International Accounting Standard Board (IASB), which clearly describes the working of an accountant and the way in which they can maintain and report the accounts. IFRS were introduced in order to have a common language of accounting which is helpful for accountants and businesses to understand company to company and country to country. The standards mainly aims at maintaining the stability and transparency in the financial world. (Tricker and Tricker 2015)

Following are the various aspects of business practices for which IFRS set the mandatory rule:-

  • Statement of financial report- It is also known as balance sheet which impacts the way in which the reporting of elements of balance sheet are made.
  • Statement of comprehensive income- It is a form of a single statement, or it can be stated as profit or loss account and statement which shows the position of equipments and property.
  • Statement of changes in equity- also termed as statement of retained earnings which states the changes in earning or profits of the company for a given time period.

Statement of cash flow- this is the summary of financial transactions for a given period with the separation of cash flow into operations, investing and financing.

In general it is the cash required to meet the day to day expenses on salaries, wages, rents, advertising etc . It is more like  heart of a company, if it is weak ,the business can not survive or will be difficult to survive. Working capital not only important but should also be in adequate amount. Working capital is the lifeblood of the company as it is important for the smooth operational function. Working capital is important for a company and its continuity, importance of working capital are:

  • Strengthen the solvency: Working capital helps to operate the business smoothly without any financial problem for making the payment of short term liabilities (Gordon and et.al., 2017). Purchase of raw materials and payments of salary, wages, and overhead can be made without any delay.
  • Enhances the goodwill:  A firm with strong working capital position can make timely payment of its outstanding bills. This enhances the reputation of the firm.

4.4 Critically examine techniques needed to manage cash flow and the impact of cash flow on key business decisions.

The success of the business often depends on how healthy its cash flow is and how well it is managed. For a new business this is very important as in the starting the company will have lower level of working capital. Following are some techniques needed to manage cash flow.

  • Keeping the track of status of cash flow in order to be able to manage it. It involves to have knowledge of every area of business where money is needed.
  • Monitoring any inefficiencies which hampering your cash flow immediately, as even small one can make a huge losses.
  • Increasing cash flow doesn't means to cut down the operational cost, investing in the business by hiring people and purchasing resources is important to increase productivity of the business (Laudon and Traver, 2013).
  • Making payments on time is an important cash flow technique.

Cash flow in the business is estimated by preparing cash flow statements. It is a financial report which shows the cash inflow and outflow at a given time.

Positive cash flow helps the manager to fix the daily budget of the company and the proper use of working capital.

4.5 evaluate – using illustrative examples – methods for making capital/investment decisions and criteria that may be used in the evaluation

The methods which are used to evaluate capital budgeting decisions are:

  • payback period: it is the calculation of time period to get the original investment back. This method is very easy to calculated. Payback method doesn't consider the time value of money.
  • Net Present Value: NPV approach does consider the time value of money for as long as the projects generate cash flow. The net present value method uses the investor's required rate of return to calculate the present value of future cash flow from the project (Cucchiella and Rosa, 2015). The net present value method considers the differences in the timing of future cash flows over the years
  • Internal rate of return: this method is simpler variation of the net present value method. It uses a discount rate that makes the present value of future cash flow equals to zero. A project that has the highest internal rate of return may not have the best net present value of future cash flows

4.6 Explain the benefits and drawbacks of off-balance sheet financing.

Off-balance sheet is the term for asset and liability that do not appear in company's balance sheet, but still considered as the assets and liability of the company. The items in off-balance sheet are those which is not owned by or are directly obligation of the company. The off-balance sheet financing includes operating leases and partnership. By using operating lease, the company is recording only the rental expenses, resulting in clear balance sheet.

The advantage of off-balance sheet are:

  • As the item is neither an asset nor a liability, a business doesn't want to include it on balance sheet. Because off-balance sheet item is not a liability it gives little risk to the company.
  • With off-balance sheet financing, the business obtains the funds or item it needs without affecting its debt burden. Off balance sheet financing gives the business the ability to use its remaining allowable borrowing capacity for other purposes.

Disadvantage of off-balance sheet are:

  • The balance sheet records the value of long term assets at the price paid for them known as historic or book value. A disadvantage of off-balance sheet is that it ignores the current value of these assets, it also ignores the value or the money it would take to replace an asset at current prices (Nash, 2018).
  • Only assets acquired by transactions are reported on the balance sheet. Therefore, it does not includes some very valuable assets that can be expressed in monetary terms.
