Distribution and Investing Practices in Corporate Finance

Naresh Vashist, Puneet Jain

There are three leading areas of corporate finance practices that consistently require the academic concentration of scholars in corporate finance theory. These include corporate financial practices relating to investing, financing and finally the practices concerning distribution. However, in modern finance, the investing practices have been further classified into two categories, that is, long term financing and short term financing. The long term financing refers to capital budgeting practices and short term refers to working capital practices. A brief account of leading practices in these areas of corporate finance is presented in this research paper.
