the nature of job of the finance manager and H$m`© go AcJ hmoVm h¡Ÿ& EH$ AH$mCÊQ>oÝQ> {~OZog Q´>m§OoŠeZ
that of an accountant. An accountant's job is H$mo [aH$m°S>© H$aVm h¡ VWm \$m`Z|{e`b ñQ>oQ>_|Q> ~ZmH$a EH$
primarily to record the business transactions

funds and perform other significant functions.
