Laws, Acts, and Committees within Finance

Finance is often defined simply as the management of money or funds management. Modern finance, however, is a family of business activity that includes the marketing and management of cash through a variety of accounts, instruments, and markets. This is created for transacting and trading assets, liabilities, and risks. Finance is structured and regulated by a complex system of power relations within political economies across state and global markets. Networks of financial businesses exist to create, negotiate, market, and trade in evermore-complex financial products and services for their own as well as their clients’ accounts. Financial performance measures the efficiency and profitability of investments, the safety of claims against assets, and the likelihood that investors are safe against a variety of market risks. With all these complicated ways for money to be shared, everyone wants a profit. There are so many ways to try to make a profit that there are laws created to protect people from felonies who want all the money for themselves. After this Prezi presentation, you will know how to protect your money and will be ready to go out into the world and make some money!

The information in your blog was very informative. I didn't know about all the different laws. The fair housing act seems very necessary in a country where we have different races and religions. I wonder when this act was set into place though.

Thank you for posting this it was very helpful. I learned a lot about the different types of laws i.e. fair housing act and the Sarbanes Oxely. I didnt know that the Sarbanes Oxely involves things like creating a company, accounting, and much more. Thank you for posting this really helped me learn more about financing laws.

Going into this prezi, I didn't really have much prior knowlege on finance. I did know about the FDIC and the Fair Housing Act, but the other acts were unheard of to me. The Sarbanes Oxely Act has barely been mentioned by the news that I view, so learning that it was directed towards public companies. It was one of the few acts where I couldn't just determine what it was about simply by looking at it. The Equal Credit Opportunity Act sounds like the Equal Employment Opportunity Act.

This presentation taught me alot about what my financial rights are as granted by many financial laws. I also learned about many important requirements created by certain acts that are imposed upon many institutions.
