ABSTRACT

A good financial management practice system should ensure the succeeding quantitative
characteristics are met: understandability, significance, materiality, reliability, and substance
over form, carefulness, completeness, comparability,suitability, and a equilibrium between
benefit and cost yet they continue to lack in most private service companies (DEMBA, 2013).
Corporate governance that implements appropriate environmental and social policies tends to
decrease the cost of debt (by mitigating the cost of borrowing) and the cost of equity (Clark,
Feiner, &Viehs, 2015;AlHammadi&Nobanee, 2019). This study was conducted in order to
determine the effectiveness of strategic financial management in putting up in corporation
business. The research design used to gather data is the descriptive method of research using the
Likert- type scale as the main tool. Likert- type scale is a psychometric scale commonly involves
in research that employs questionnaires it is the most widely used approach to scaling responses
in survey research. This study also presented some ideas about how to implement strategic
financial management in corporation business. The result of this study were showed close
because of the virus, there are other way on how the business continue and financial management
is one of the strategy for business owners to survive. The respondents were chosen based on their
experience on how their business survived during this pandemic. The respondents were agreed
that strategic financial management provides good impact in corporation business.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY AND LITERATURE REVIEW

INTRODUCTION

The main reasons for corporate failure are alleged to have been a lack of fiscal

estimating, indispensable political rectitude, and limited subsidizing openness, as well as a

shortage of resources, abnormality advancement, tiny vital and monetary presumption, pointless

corrected resource organization, and key administration. However, by relating potential concerns

to financial decisions and primary value drivers, such as speculation scheduling, capital cost, the

industry around the world organization, economic output, and resource returns, the institution's

presentation, as well as its required command structure the methodology, can be redesigned

(Alkaabi, 2019).

A corporation is a legal entity that is separate and distinct from its owners. Under law,

corporations possess many of the same rights and responsibilities as individuals. They can enter

contracts, loan and borrow money, sue and be sued, hire employees, own assets, and pay taxes,

(The Investopedia Team, Updated 2021.)

Improper financial management practices have proven to be a main cause of failures in

companies in terms of financial difficulty, mismanagements of fund and shortage of long-term

funds to meet the operating cost and capital expenditure (Brigham &Ehrhardt, 2010).

Generally, as Al Nuaimi and Nobanee (2019), show in their collective research.

Corporate sustainability reporting has a strong impact on corporate financial growth in general.

All in all, current evidence shows a clear positive impact of financial management on the ability

to promote all types of sustainability.

Using short term non-sustainable tactics can have a significant impact on the value of an

organization. These tactics include overpricing the return on equity by over-leveraging, early

inclusion of sales, late inclusion and extreme cutting of costs (Barton and Wiseman, 2014; Chen

et al., 2015; Greenfield, 2011; Laverty, 2004, as cited in Strenad& Kennelly, 2017).

Furthermore, some managers that focus on short term success resort to unethical business

practices such as inflating profits (Dallas, 2012; Nevins et al., 2006, as cited in Strenad&

Kennelly, 2017).

The effects of such practices are raising serious concerns and are one of the key reasons

why managers are heading towards sustainable financial management strategies to maximize the

market capitalization of the organization rather than focusing on quarterly profits (Strenad&

Kennelly, 2017).

This research aimed to find the effectiveness of strategic financial management in a

corporation. And also, intended to determine the common financial management used in an

organization, and find how the Entrepreneur used financial management in their business.

Financial management had always been one of the most critically evaluated concepts in

business and finance. The role of finance and monetary allocation has always been regarded as

pilot factor that accelerates or decelerates the value or growth of business operations and

subsequently its progress (Alkaabi&Nobanee, 2019).

Finance represents the life of a business. However, like many resources, finances are

often limited, but business wants are usually unlimited. This, therefore, means that it is essential

for a business to manage its finances effectively. Financial management endeavors to minimize

the cost of fiancés and thus, ensures there is sufficient flow of funds in the business (Ameer&

Othman, 2011).

Financial management strategy is a process for identification, collection, selection and

analysis of the financial data for the assistance to a team of management for the strategic

decisions and effectiveness of the organizational assessment. The financial management strategy

has the role of establishing that the organization finances its operations cost to attain its goal and

profit maximization, Delkhosh and Mousavi (2016).

Financial management of the organization has taken a shift towards future crisis-resistant

sustainable financial acts and functions. The knowledge over the green practices of investment,

finances, taxation, and the associated risk of sustainability not only assures financial stability but

also results in the implementation of business models, policies, and social projects that focus

both the shareholders’ values as well as stakeholders’ values (Christofi et al, 2012).

The financial management strategy is not only to manage the flow of funds in the

organization but to align them with the good intention to meet the goals and objectives of the

firm to maximize the financial wealth of business owners. Delkhosh andMousavi (2016).

Furthermore, to achieve sustainable financial performance and growth, regulations must

be in place to manage financial reserves. These regulations encompass several aspects such as

overseeing purchases made on account, increasing solvency, and the quantity of equity over

time. In addition to, in enhancing the structure and strategies of working capital management, the

additional cost and effort associated with managing sustainable financial sources are

compensated by the boost in revenue and decrease in leftover inventory. Therefore, managers

ought to be highly involved in these policies for the firm to operate and maintain sustainable

conditions (Ahmed &Nobanee, 2019).

Sustainable financial management approaches are advantageous to the organization as it

can enhance its performance and productivity, lower costs and improves their relationships with

stakeholders (Atz, Holt, Douglas, & Whelan, 2019).

In strategic financial management, three types of management are considered:

investment strategy management, the financial provision and ultimately the profitability and the

optimal combination of these three strategy kinds and its optimum management, will encompass

the financial success of an organization (Delkhosh&Mousavi, 2016).

Financial management in entrepreneurship entails planning, organizing, controlling, and

directing all financial activities, such as the utilization of funds and procurement of funds of the

enterprise in a way that supports the growth of a business (Juneja, n.d.).

Financial management assists organizations in financial planning, acquisition, and

allocation of funds, enhancing an organization's profitability and overall value while promoting

economic stability. Furthermore, financial management is used to maximize the value of stock

prices, while in private companies it is used to maximize the market value of owners' equity

(Delkhosh&Mousavi, 2016).

Such practices improve the overall financials of the firm leading to a long term value

addition to the vision and mission of the firm. The control and monitoring of the strategies plays

a vital role, it is observed that companies with unmonitored and uncontrolled strategy

implementation have resulted in failure (Delkhosh&Mousavi, 2016).

practice is termed as a discipline that deals with how organizations make decisions relating to

various financial aspects and the instruments used (Lasher, 2010).

According to Brinckmann et al. (2011), financial management practice is the process of

acquiring financial resources and measures to enhance the financial performance in firms. Byoun

(2010) defined financial management practices as all aspects dealing with money circulations

and money control in all business transactions.

It relates to the arrangements and optimal use of financial resources for current and future

opportunities in order to improve financial operations. Typical financial management practices

employed by organizations include; cash management, capital budgeting decisions, financial

analysis and forecasting and portfolio management (Marembo, 2012).Financial Management

The importance that the financial management practices have on organization is

imperative as most challenges facing companies may be prevented by proper financial

management practices (Uluyol, 2013).

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

Management accounting has been at the heart of long-term corporate growth and

development. Entrepreneurship and moral behavior are inextricably linked. Entrepreneurial skills

such as originality, innovation, and sensitivity are thought to be related to the qualities needed to

make moral decisions. (Ahmed, 2010)

Because financial administration is such a delicate sector, almost every firm has a distinct

department for it, staffed by a committed, professional, and competent team, taking the

appropriate financial planning and competent team, taking the appropriate financial planning

decisions promptly leads to long-term business sustainability and progress. (Alkaabi, 2019)

Researchers used survey to find the impact of financial planning and analyses the

effectiveness of strategic financial management on a corporation. Statistical method was done in

analyzing and interpreting the data gathered.
