Corp Finance is IBD or Accounting?

Why is investment banking considered "corporate finance" while GE FMP and F500 FLDP's are also considered "corporate finance" even though they are just accounting gigs. I'm not a finance major and so I really don't understand why IBD isn't more related to corporate strategy?
