This is used as a legal tender for repayment of debt, retain our purchase power. It is also a standard of value and an unit of accounting measure. Financial character is the feature of a financial transaction. Financial character primarily involves flow of cash and is measured in the terms of money. You cannot record every transaction in the accounting. For example, only those transactions which involve money and cash flow are recorded. Now this is a financial character.
