Producers are responsible for funding and authorizing expenses for films.
Every person who is paid for work as part of a film project, unless otherwise arranged, is credited in the end-credits/ end title. The producers hire a specialist in producing closing credits, and provides the list of cast and crew to be included in the 'credit roll'.
Workers can then claim participation in this film on their resumes. Because movies are made by workers assembled for the project, and are often represented by unions, earning credits and confirming them in the end titles are important career signals.
Participants who are not paid are generally acknowledged in 'thanks' sections, and may of these include city or state film commissions, 'the people of the [location]' and so forth.

Credits on all James bond films finish with which same 4 words?
James Bond Will Return. Not all Bond film credits end with those words though. In the earlier films the credits specify the name of the next Bond film.
Why are credits in old films sometimes window boxed?
After films went wide screen in the 1950's, that created a problem when the films were shown on television which was still square shaped. To avoid having to redo the credits, they letter-boxed them and then went pan and scan after the Director credit.
What alias do directors use in the credits of films they aren't happy with?
Alan Smithee
What do you call a person who both writes and directs films?
"Writer-director" is a common term for it.
Why does the aspect ratio of some films made in the 60s and 70s seem to change after the opening credits from wide to a less wide format and then back to wide for the end credits?
The aspect ratio changes for the credits because the credits were either hand or computer generated and were not filmed with the camera that filmed the movie.
