Finance means funds from the sources and utilise the source in right place at right time.and to prepar right budget.
Account means keeping the record after the transaction is complited.Finance is the base thing of accounting.
In small scale industries there has no probblem to maintain both finance & account in one depatment But in large scale there has so much problem to handle both has one department.
hence most organizations have seperate sections of finance and accounts.
