Accounting is the practice of preparing accounting records, including measuring, preparation, analyzing, and the interpretation of financial statements. These records are used to develop and provide data measuring the performance of the firm, assessing its financial position, and paying taxes.

 

Finance, on the other hand, is the efficient and productive management of assets and liabilities based on existing information. Finance is the study of money and capital markets which deals with many of the topics covered in macro economics. It is the management and control of assets and investments, which focuses on the decisions of individual, financial and other institutions as they choose securities for their investments portfolios. Also, managerial finance involves the actual management of the firm, as well as profiling and managing project risks.
