Key facts examiners test from this unit
Financial management = planning, organising, directing, controlling the PROCUREMENT and UTILISATION of funds — deciding about money, not merely recording it.
Forms of organisation: sole proprietor (simplest, unlimited liability) · partnership (1932 Act, max 50 partners per Companies Act 2013 rules, registration optional with Registrar of Firms) · LLP (2008 Act, MCA, separate entity, partners not liable for each other) · HUF (by BIRTH, Karta = senior-most male) · AOP (natural OR artificial persons) vs BOI (only natural) · company · co-operative (mutual help, not profit).
Changing the form of organisation can trigger TAX liability — the conversion caution.
Law update, September 2026. Since the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act 2005 (and the 2016 Delhi High Court ruling) the senior-most coparcener — a daughter included — can be karta; the textbook's 'senior-most male member' is the answer the paper keys.
