IC89 Mock Test Sample 7

Management Accounting helps organizations in planning, controlling, budgeting, and decision-making by analyzing financial information. Financial markets support investment, liquidity, and price discovery through instruments like bonds, debentures, derivatives, and mutual funds. Ratios such as liquidity ratio, profitability ratio, and solvency ratio help evaluate business performance and financial health. Risk management includes understanding systematic and unsystematic risks affecting investments. Regulatory authorities like SEBI and IRDAI ensure transparency and investor protection. Capital budgeting, financial statement analysis, and forecasting are important tools for business growth. Insurance policies, equity funds, and financial derivatives also play a major role in wealth creation and risk management.
