Overhead (business)In business, overhead or overhead expense refers to an ongoing expense of operating a business. Overheads are the expenditure which cannot be conveniently traced to or identified with any particular revenue unit, unlike operating expenses such as raw material and labor. Therefore, overheads cannot be immediately associated with the products or services being offered, thus do not directly generate profits. However, overheads are still vital to business operations as they provide critical support for the business to carry out profit making activities.
Fund administrationFund administration is the name given to the execution of back-office activities including fund accounting, financial reporting, net asset value calculation, capital calls, distributions, investor communications and other functions carried out in support of an investment fund, which may take the form of a traditional mutual fund, a hedge fund, a private equity fund, a venture capital fund, a pension fund, a unit trust, or other pooled investment vehicle.
Credit cardA credit card is a payment card issued to users (cardholders) to enable the cardholder to pay a merchant for goods and services based on the cardholder's accrued debt (i.e., promise to the card issuer to pay them for the amounts plus the other agreed charges). The card issuer (usually a bank or credit union) creates a revolving account and grants a line of credit to the cardholder, from which the cardholder can borrow money for payment to a merchant or as a cash advance.
AccrualIn finance, an accrual (accumulation) of something is the adding together of interest or different investments over a period of time. For example, a company delivers a product to a customer who will pay for it 30 days later in the next fiscal year, which starts a week after the delivery. The company recognizes the proceeds as a revenue in its current income statement still for the fiscal year of the delivery, even though it will not get paid until the following accounting period.
Fonds d'actionsA stock fund, or equity fund, is a fund that invests in stocks, also called equity securities. Stock funds can be contrasted with bond funds and money funds. Fund assets are typically mainly in stock, with some amount of cash, which is generally quite small, as opposed to bonds, notes, or other securities. This may be a mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. The objective of an equity fund is long-term growth through capital gains, although historically dividends have also been an important source of total return.
Debit cardA debit card, also known as a check card or bank card, is a payment card that can be used in place of cash to make purchases. The card usually consists of the bank's name, a card number, the cardholder's name, and an expiration date, on either the front or the back. Many of the new cards now have a chip on them, which allows people to use their card by touch (contactless), or by inserting the card and keying in a PIN as with swiping the magnetic stripe.
CAPEX - OPEXLes OPEX ou dépenses d'exploitation (de l'anglais operational expenditure) sont les charges courantes pour exploiter un produit, une entreprise, ou un système. Les CAPEX ou dépenses d'investissement (de l'anglais capital expenditure) se réfèrent aux immobilisations, c'est-à-dire aux dépenses qui ont une valeur positive sur le long terme. Le choix d’affecter des dépenses futures programmées en OPEX ou CAPEX s’effectue lors de la construction budgétaire de l’année (automne de l’année N-1) .
Tableau de financementLe tableau de financement est l'état comptable des flux de trésorerie d'emplois mobilisés et de ressources dégagées par l'entreprise au cours d'un, ou plusieurs, exercice comptable passé. Il ne doit pas être confondu avec le plan de financement qui est construit avec un mélange de flux de fonds et de flux de trésorerie. Le bilan et le compte de résultat perdent une partie des informations saisies par la comptabilité ; le premier parce qu'il ne mesure que des stocks de valeur à un instant, oubliant les flux dont ils sont l'aboutissement ; le second parce qu'il note seulement les soldes des flux de valeur qui ont une action sur le patrimoine, donc sur le résultat.
MKS system of unitsThe MKS system of units is a physical system of measurement that uses the metre, kilogram, and second (MKS) as base units. The modern International System of Units (SI) was originally created as a formalization of the MKS system, and although the SI has been redefined several times since then and is now based entirely on fundamental physical constants, it still closely approximates the original MKS system for most practical purposes. By the mid-19th century, there was a demand by scientists to define a coherent system of units.
