Rationalisation in a Business Context

Rationalisation is the process of reorganising a company's operations to increase efficiency and reduce costs.
It aims to achieve a more streamlined and efficient business, often resulting in a reduction in the size of the firm.
Corporate entities value rationalisation as it helps to eliminate unnecessary costs, improve productivity, and enhance competitiveness.

Financial Accounting

Financial accounting involves the recording and reporting of business transactions that are monetary in nature.
The system captures and records transactions that are financial, such as sales, purchases, and payments.
Non-monetary transactions, such as executive decisions or management restructuring, are outside the scope of financial accounting.
