Accounting is the Part of Finance. Accounting is generally considered as Recording and Managing the Accounts. Where as Finance refers to every thing that exists as a part of Money and Business......

Accounting is much Smaller term than Finance.

ACCOUNTING= BOOK KEEPING.....RECORDING TRANSACTIONS OF THE ORGANISATIONS....AND ALL

THAT.

FINANCE - IT IS THE SCIENCE OF MANAGING FUNDS THROUGHT OUT THE ORGANIZATION.......FROM

THE SOURCES OF FUNDS TO USES OF FUNDS ...IT INCLUDES EVERYTHING..

ACCOUNTING IS A PART OF FINANCE...

you know what would my answer be " finance starts where accounting ends..where accounts is only clerical, finance is purely intellectual..accounts is remaining inside the box,finance is thinking out of the box"

accounts is the language which business speaks,it shows whre the business stands,,on the other hand finance is decision making,it shows whre the business can stand
