Finance directly affects the lives and well-being of every individual and organization, whether financial or non-financial, public or private, profit or non-profit. These individuals and organizations earn or raise money and spend or invest money. The processes and decision-making methods to carry out these activities are the purviews of finance, defined as the art and science of managing money. The study of finance is concerned with the processes, institutions, markets, and instruments involved in transferring money between individuals, businesses, and governments.
