Financial intelligence is a critical subject for us irrespective of the fact whether we are running a business as CEO or leading a finance department as CFO or working as an employee of the company or even in day to day activity in our personal life when we spend money to fulfil our daily needs. As an employee we need to see how maximum we can contribute in achieving the objective of the company. As an individual we can efficiently prioritize and manage our day to day expenses and save money.
It is important, before we start a work, we should examine all the opportunities available for us otherwise we may suffer a loss. For example as Product Manager we must know what are the profit margins in the other products in the company before fixing a price of the product.
Although the objective of making the finance statement is to give the true picture of the business entity, there are certain points where the statements go wrong or misleading to the users.
Ø Only those receipts or payments should be treated as revenues or expenses respectively, those belong to that particular period for which the statement is being made.
Ø While recording the transaction one must keep in mind that business has the separate legal entity than that of proprietor or the owners of the business.,
As per the accepted principle the expenses are incurred in order to generate the revenue. Hence it is important to synchronize both – Income & expenditure with respect to the period. For example, if we are making Profit & Loss account for 2nd Quarter of FY 2019-20, We must ensure that only those expenses should be considered which are incurred to generate revenue for the 2nd quarter only. This is the essence of matching principle.
Ø In order to give a fair picture of the business entity certain estimations are made with due responsibility. Looking to the future uncertainty, effects are given in the Income & Expenditure by writing down the net assets if the future doesn’t appears to be favourable or writing up the net assets if the future appears to be favourable.
Ø If expenses are incurred but not paid, then they are treated as liability and will be carried forward to the next accounting year where it will be settled. Same way if payment is made but relates to next accounting year, than it is called unexpired expenses and carried forward as an asset to the next accounting year in which the company will receive the services or product for which payment is made.
One is the most important principle which is disclosure. While finalizing the financial statements, one must ensure that all material facts are disclosed through the state of affairs or in the form of “notes to the accounts”. These facts play an important role in taking various decisions such as – For a Bank who is considering a case to give loan to the business entity or Investors who wants to know the correct position before investing in it. These are the parts of honesty and business ethics.

Sales manager should have awareness about the financials so that she can make decisions about discounts, credit terms etc. A decision as to the levels of stock to be maintained by the stores manager is a financial decision. Marketing manager should know about the product profitability to decide about the marketing campaigns. An HR decision as to the kind of people to recruit as per
the business priorities is also a financial decision.
So what is financial intelligence ?
Financial intelligence for business is understanding of how financial success is measured and how they have an impact on the company’s performance. For example we need to know the difference between profit and cash. Need to know why the balance sheet balances. The numbers neither scare nor mystify us.

lack of financial intelligence ?
It may sound strange but probability that a company listed in Fortune 100 in 1960 is still listed is just 17%. Greater financial intelligence, we’ve learned, helps people feel more involved and committed. They understand better what they are a part of, What the organization is trying to achieve, and how they affect results. Trust increases, turnover decreases, and financial results improve.
