Abstract

Whether the financial management of rural cooperatives in coastal Guangdong is standardized is related to the sustainable development and growth of cooperatives in the future. Therefore, this article analyzes the financial system, capital management, climate disaster response, and financial supervision of rural cooperatives in coastal Guangdong to identify the factors that affect the financial management status of coastal Guangdong cooperatives and the measures that can be taken to better promote the improvement of cooperative financial management. Finally, relevant suggestions and countermeasures are proposed based on the problems existing in the financial management of cooperatives.
