CHAPTER NO 1 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BRIEF HISTORY OF NATIONAL BANK OF PAKISTAN The history of National Bank of Pakistan is part of Pakistan’s struggle for economic independence. National Bank of Pakistan was established on November 9, 1949 under the National Bank of Pakistan Ordinance, 1949 in order to cope with the crisis conditions which were developed after trade deadlock with India and devaluation of Indian Rupee in 1949. Initially the Bank was established with the objective to extend credit to the agriculture sector. The normal procedure of establishing a banking company under the Companies Law was set aside and the Bank was established through the promulgation of an Ordinance, due to the crisis situation that had developed with regard to financing of jute trade. The Bank commenced its operations from November 20, 1949 at six important jute centers in the then, East Pakistan and directed its resources in financing of jute crop. The Bank’s Karachi and Lahore offices were subsequently opened in December 1949. The National Bank of Pakistan came forward to establish its offices in the Cotton growing areas and extended credit facilities liberally in order to restore stability to the market. In 1951, the country was once again faced with a crisis in the cotton trade when prices was crashed and touched the lowest level since independence following the cessation of hostilities in Korea. The bank in collaboration with the cotton board provided the necessary Credit facilities to the trade and the crisis was tided over. The nature of responsibilities of the Bank is different and unique from other banks/financial institutions. The Bank acts as the agent to the State Bank of Pakistan for handling Provincial/Federal Government Receipts and Payments on their behalf. The Bank has also played an important role in financing the country’s growing trade, which has expanded through the years as diversification took place.1 The National Bank of Pakistan has its headquarters in Karachi, Pakistan. The bank operates 1249(2008) branches in Pakistan and 22(2008) overseas branches. Under a trust Deed, the bank also provides services as trustee to National Investment Trust (NIT) including safe custody of securities on behalf of NIT. The National Bank of Pakistan has assets worth Rupees 737976.44 million on September 30, 2008.2

An employee may be defined as: "A person in the service of another under any contract of hire, express or implied, oral or written, where the employer has the power or right to control and direct the employee in the material details of how the work is to be performed." 4An employee contributes labor and expertise to an endeavor. Employees perform the discrete activity of economic production. Of the three factors of production, employees usually provide the labour. Specifically, an employee is any person hired by an employer to do a specific "job". In most modern economies, the term employee refers to a specific defined relationship between an individual and a corporation, which differs from those of customer, or client. The relationship between National Bank of Pakistan and its employees is usually handled through the Human Resource Management & Administration Group & Employees benefit disbursement & trustee division.

1

The most precise definition of product is anything capable of satisfying needs, including tangible items, services and ideas. In marketing, a product is anything that can be offered to a market that might satisfy a want or need. 5 Since 1575, the word "product" has referred to anything produced. Since 1695, the word has referred to "thing or things produced”. The economic or commercial meaning of product was first used by political economist Adam Smith. In general usage, product may refer to a single item or unit, a group of equivalent products, a grouping of goods or services, or an industrial classification for the goods or services. The consumer banking products include personal accounts, credit cards, loans, investment products, treasury products and many more. The National Bank of Pakistan offering for sale several related products individually, which is commonly known as product lining. A product line is defined as “A group of products that are closely related because they function in a similar manner, are sold to the same customer groups, are marketed through same types of outlets, or fall within the given price ranges”.6 The followings are the main consumer banking products of NBP. 1.3.1 DEPOSITS The National Bank of Pakistan offers to their clients a variety of Deposit Schemes with personalized services at competitive rates of interest. Any Pakistani citizen can open his/her account for any deposit scheme at any of its Branches strategically located throughout Pakistan. The Bank with its huge network of 1243 branches garners savings from both the rich and the poor in urban as well as rural areas. Even a poor farmer in a remote village, with his meager annual income, feels secure to safe keep his minuscule savings in National Bank of Pakistan, Because National Bank of Pakistan has a long heritage of trust and professional commitment. 1.3.2 CURRENT DEPOSITS These are payable to the customer whenever they are demanded. When a banker accepts a demand deposit, he incurs the obligation of paying all cheques etc, drawn against him to the extent of the balance in the account. Because of their nature, these deposits are treated as current liabilities by the banks. Bankers in Pakistan do not allow nay profit on these deposits, and customers are required to maintain a minimum balance, failing which incidental charges are deducted from such accounts. This is because Current Deposits may be withdrawn by the depositors at any time, and as such the bank is not entirely free to employ such deposits.7 Current Accounts/ Basic Banking accounts are opened, on proper introduction and submission of required
3

documents along with initial deposit prescribed from time to time. Basic banking accounts are opened for an individuals (single or joint) only whereas current accounts are opened for individuals (single or joint) Charitable institution, provident and other funds of benevolent nature of local bodies, autonomous corporations, companies, associations, educational institutions, firms etc. and in all other cases where the accounts are to opened under the order of a competent court of law. No profit is paid on the balances of current/basic banking accounts. The bank is authorized to deduct service charges (incidental charges) on current accounts levied through its half yearly schedule of charges, in case the average balance falls below the minimum balance as prescribed by the bank. No balance maintenance condition is applied on basic banking account. 1.3.3 PLS SAVING DEPOSITS In Pakistan a Savings Deposits Account can be opened with a very small amount of money, and the depositor is issued a cheque book for withdrawals. Profit is paid at a flexible rate calculated on six monthly basis under the Interest Free Banking System. There is no restriction on the withdrawals from the deposit accounts but the amount of money withdraw is deleted from the amount to be taken for calculation of products for assessment of profit to be paid to the account holder. It discourages unnecessary withdrawals from the deposits. In order to popularize the scheme the SBP has allowed the Savings Scheme for school and college students and industrial labour also. The purpose of these accounts is to inculcate the habit of savings in the constituents. As such, the initial deposits required for opening these accounts are very nominal.8NBP charge Rs.500 for opening of PLS Savings deposits. The silent features of profit and loss sharing and saving accounts of NBP are as fallows • These accounts can be opened by individuals in their own single or joint name. The PLS savings account can also be opened for provident fund or other benevolent funds of companies, firms, organizations, NGO’s and educational institutions. • • PLS saving account can be opened with a minimum amount of Rs.500/- only To share in the profit a minimum balance of Rs.500/- must be maintained in the account. The minimum balance on sixth and last of month will qualify for the profits. The profits will be calculated on the basis of monthly minimum
2

balance for the periods of six months i.e. from January to June and July to December • • • The head office of NBP determines the profit or loss on PLS saving deposits and advice its branches the rate and time of distribution of these profits. There shall be no restrictions on maintaining the maximum balance in PLS saving account. On the first day of Ramzan each year the Zakat at the rate of 2.5% will be deducted from these deposits on the balance of that day. But if depositors affix an affidavit of Zakat deduction along with account opening form or he is a non-Muslim, no Zakat will be deducted from his account. 1.3.4 FIXED DEPOSIT ACCOUNT (TIME DEPOSITS) The deposits that can be withdrawn after a specified period of time are referred to as Fixed or Term Deposits. The period for which these deposits are kept by the bank ordinarily varies from three months to five years in accordance with the agreement made between the customer and the banker. Profit/Return is paid to the depositors on all fixed or Time deposits, and the rate of profit/Return varies with the duration for which the amount is kept with the banker. By lending out or investing these funds, the bank earns more than the Profit/Return that it has to pay on them to the depositors. 9 By giving an advance notice to the bank the deposit can be withdraw from the bank before the expiry of the period. Fixed deposit accounts have higher rate of interest as compare to other accounts. The rate of interest rises with the length of period and the amount of deposit. The bank grants to the depositor a fix deposit (FDR) which is not transferable to any other person. The silent features of fixed deposit account of NBP are as fallows • • • The PLS term deposit are opened for individuals in their own single or joint names, companies firms and other organizations. The PLS term deposit receipt are issued for any amount. There is minimum or maximum limit or deposits in a single term deposit account. PLS term depositors may be allowed some facilities against the security of these receipt credits, after making “Lien” on the relevant receipt and subject to recovery of service charges. • Under term deposit scheme the depositors not cease to earn the profit immediately, after the respective maturity date.

The bank shall have no responsibility for or liability to the account holders for any diminution due to taxes imposed or depreciation in the value of funds credited to the account whether due to devaluation or fluctuation in the exchange rate or other wise. 1.3.6 NBP PREMIUM AAMDANI NBP Premium aamdani is a retail product of the bank.

1.9 CORPORATE ADVANCES 1.9.1 CASH FINANCE This is a very common form of borrowing by commercial and industrial concerns and is made available either against pledge or hypothecation of goods, produce or merchandise. In cash finance, a borrower is allowed to borrow money from the banker up to a certain limit, either at once or as and when required. The borrower prefers this form of lending due to the facility of paying markup/services charges only on the amount he actually utilizes. If the borrower does not utilize the full limit, the banker has to lose return on the un-utilized amount. In order to offset this loss, the banker may provide for a suitable clause in the cash finance agreement, according to which the borrower has to pay markup/service charges on at least on self or one quarter of the amount of cash finance limit allowed to him even when he does not utilize that amount. 1.9.2 RUNNING FINANCE/ OVERDRAFT This is the most common form of bank lending. When a borrower requires temporary accommodation his banker allows withdrawals on his account in excess of the balance which the borrowing customer has in credit, and an overdraft thus occurs. This accommodation is generally allowed against collateral securities. When it is against collateral securities it is called “Secured Overdraft” and when the borrowing customer cannot offer any collateral security except his personal security, the accommodation is called a “Clean Overdraft”. The borrowing customer is in an advantageous position in an overdraft, because he has to pay service charges only on the balance outstanding
2

against him. The main difference between a cash finance and overdraft lies in the fact that cash finance is a bank finance used for long term by commercial and industrial concern on regular basis, while an overdraft is a temporary accommodation occasionally resorted 1.9.3 DEMAND FINANCE When a customer borrows from a banker a fixed amount repayable either in periodic installments or in lump sum at a fixed future time, it is called a “loan”. When bankers allow loans to their customers against collateral securities they are called “secured loans” and when no collateral security is taken they are called “clean loans”. The amount of loan is placed at the borrower’s disposal in lump sum for the period agreed upon, and the borrowing customer has to pay interest on the entire amount. Thus the borrower gets a fixed amount of money for his use, while the banker feels satisfied in lending money in fixed amounts for definite short periods against a satisfactory security. 1.10 REMITTANCES 1.10.1 DEMAND DRAFTS Drafts drawn by one branch on another branch or on the Head Office of same bank or vice versa, are not cheques or bills, as these have no distinct drawer and drawee. Section 85-A reads: “ Where any draft, that is, an order to pay money, drawn by one office of bank upon another office of the same bank for a sum of money payable to order on demand, purports to be issued by or on behalf of the payee, the bank is discharged by payment in due course”. Banker’s drafts payable to order on demand are within the protection of Sections 10 and 131-A of the Negotiable Instruments Act. However, if a demand draft drawn on a bank by its own branch bears a forged endorsement, the person in possession of it cannot compel that bank to pay it. As far as possible the banker’s draft should be crossed and it should never be drawn payable to bearer. When a person requires a draft he should be asked to complete the prescribed application form in which he should state the amount of the draft, the name of the payee, and the place of payment. This application form should be signed by the
2

purchaser or by those persons who have been duly authorized to act on his behalf. When a customer requests his banker to provide him with a banker’s draft, the amount of which is to be debited to his account, he should enclose with his written request a cheque covering the amount of the required draft and other charges etc. payable to banker.15 The National Bank of Pakistan provides demand drafts at very reasonable rates with safety, speedy and reliable way to transfer money. Any person whether an account holder of the bank or not, can purchase a Demand Draft form a bank. 1.10.2 TRAVELERS CHEQUES They are generally issued for the convenience of person travelling abroad, but some Pakistani banks issue them in Pakistan currency also for use within the country as well. Before issuing, the bankers receive an amount equal to the face value of the cheques, and also charge a small commission. The travelers’ cheques are for fixed amount and are treated as Order cheques payable only to the purchaser whose specimen signature appears on each traveler’s cheque itself. Foreign currency travelers cheques are issued and encashed in accordance with the provisions of the Exchange Control Regulation Act, 1947. While making payment, the paying banker must insist that the holder signs in his presence.16 The National Bank of Pakistan provides their services for traveler’s cheque at very reasonable and competitive rates. It has following features Negotiability Validity Availability Encashment Limitation Safety Pak Rupees Traveler’s Cheques are a negotiable instrument There is no restriction on the period of validity At 700 branches of NBP all over the country At all 400 branches of NBP No limit on purchase NBP Traveler’s Cheques are the safest way to carry our money

1.11 LETTER OF CREDIT Letters of credit are very useful instruments in facilitating commercial relations between businessmen at various places.

Meet the SBP directives/instructions for timely and prompt delivery of remittances to the beneficiaries. The new features of NBP foreign remittances include: The existing system of home remittances has been revised/significantly improved and well-trained field functionaries are posted to provide efficient and reliable home remittance services to nonresident Pakistanis at 15 overseas branches of the Bank besides United National Bank (the joint venture between NBP and UBL in UK)., and Bank Al-Jazira, Saudi Arabia. • • • Zero Tariffs: NBP is providing home remittance services without any charges. Strict monitoring of the system is done to ensure the highest possible security. Special courier services are hired for expeditious delivery of home remittances to the beneficiaries. 1.13 SWIFT SYSTEM The SWIFT system (Society for Worldwide Inter bank Financial Telecommunication) has been introduced for speedy services in the area of home remittances. The system has built-in features of computerized test keys, which eliminates the manual application of tests that often cause delay in the payment of home remittances. The SWIFT Center is operational at National Bank of Pakistan with a universal access number NBP-PKKA. All NBP overseas branches and overseas correspondents (over 450) are drawing remittances through SWIFT. Using the NBP network of branches, we can safely and speedily transfer money for our business and personal needs.

Here the selling office of the bank sends instructions in writing by mail to the paying bank for the payment of a specified amount of money. Debiting to the buyer’s account at the selling office and crediting to the recipient’s account at the paying bank make the payment under this transfer. NBP taxes mail charges from the applicant where no excise duty is charged. Postage charges on mail transfer are actual minimum Rs. 40/if sent by registered post locally Rs.40/- if sent by registered post inland on party’s request. 1.15 TELEGRAPHIC TRANSFER Telegraphic Transfer is a form of remittance, which is advised by telegram, telex or fax machines. The fundamental principles of such transfer are otherwise identical with the Mail Transfer. It is the message, which is sent from one branch to another on the order of payer to payee through wire. It is one of the quickest means to transfer fund through the use of telex/fax/internet or cable 1.16 PAY ORDER NBP provides another reason to transfer your money using our facilities.

The function of the National Bank of Pakistan’s Employee benefits, disbursement & trustee division is to handle the administration of trust funds, provide estate planning support, and in some cases see to the disposition of the estate of a deceased customer. One of the factors that make the use of this department so attractive is that it tends to be somewhat conservative with their management approach. This means that this department is likely to take time to evaluate all options when involved in settling estates, establishing guardianships, or administering trusts that have been set up for the survivors of a major depositor. This methodical approach is often in line with the motivation for establishing the asset in the first place, which was to provide a source of financial support for loved ones, even after a parent or significant other has died.

Along with estate settlement, this department also provides a number of other agency services, such as functioning as the trustee of record for corporate bonds or administering a pension or profit sharing plan. As a means of ensuring that the resources of the bank safely protect the investments involved, the department makes it relatively easy for the client to deal with other matters.

Where the fair value of plan assets exceeds the present value of defined benefit obligation together with unrecognized actuarial gains or losses and unrecognized past service cost, the bank reduces the resulting asset to an amount equal to the total of present value of any economic benefit in the form of reduction in future contributions to the plan and unrecognized actuarial losses and past service costs. 2.15.2 POST RETIREMENT

2.20.1 CLEARING HOUSE DEPARTMENT As part of their daily business activity, banks receive cheques and other financial instruments from their customers drawn on other banks, to be collected and credited to their accounts. Similarly, banks receive cheques/instruments from other banks, deposited by customers of the banks drawn on the customers of the drawee banks. Therefore, the banks act as Collecting Banks when they send cheques/instruments for collection and as paying Banks, when they receive cheques/instruments for collection from other banks. Since each bank receive and sends cheques/instruments for collection to and from an number of banks, the process of settlement would clearly be very cumbersome and time consuming if every cheques/instrument had to be sent by the collection bank to each of the drawee banks or branch upon which different collection items are drawn and to individually pay the proceeds to each of the bank sending cheques/instrument in for collection. Therefore, the banks have evolved what is called the Bankers Clearing arrangement. The Clearing System enables cheques to be paid or cleared centrally and settlement made for receivables and payables between the banks. The SBP co-ordinates clearing activity through its offices, called the Clearing Houses, set up in big cities and towns. Where SBP does not maintain its own office, some other bank, usually National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) performs this function. But the clearing house facility is available only for cheques/instruments drawn on banks situated within the same city/clearing house area.

2.20.6 BANK ACCOUNTING OPERATIONS The National Bank of Pakistan’s accounting consists in making computerized, written and permanent records of every transaction. For Computerized recording of transactions the bank used software called BBO (Branch Back Office). BBO enable Bank to record a variety of transactions. The most common part of BBO which is operating by the BBO Operator is Individual Ledgers. Individual Ledgers are the accounts in which accounts with depositors are kept. They are kept so that the balance of each depositor's account may at any time be readily seen, and they should be frequently balanced to verify their correctness. The three column form of individual ledger is used because it has a column for checks paid or other debit entries, one for deposits or other items credited, and a third for showing the balance after each entry or the day's entries are made in the account. The BBO enlist Chart of Accounts of the Bank shown in Annexed VIII. All the accounts shown in Annexed are opened and managed through BBO. All the Remittances of the bank are recorded managed and control through BBO. The “End of the Day” report is also generated through BBO.

1

The most important record keeping and report generated by Bank’s Accounts Department is Statement of the Bank. The statement of the bank shows the general, or control, accounts of the bank, and the various books of the bank show the detail of these items. It would not be impossible, but it would be entirely impractical, to enter every figure directly on the statement of condition. Instead of total deposits, the balance of each depositor would appear opposite his name. On the other side, instead of loans and discounts, there would be an itemized list of the loans with the names of the borrowers. The first principle in bank accounting, as in all other bookkeeping, is that for every debit there must be a credit, and vice-versa. In accordance with this fundamental theory the books are maintained. With respect to the statement, every Rupee of liabilities is accounted for by another Rupee of resources. Similarly each accounts at the end of the day for each item of cash is balanced. Each bank employee has had the experience of remaining at his desk until a late hour at night checking up his day's work searching for a difference of a few cents. Often they become embittered at what seems to them a tyranny when the small sum of money involved is considered. The reason they must settle, however, is not on account of the possible loss of ten cents, but because the most important principle in bank accounting is involved. "Accuracy first" is a motto that should be framed, figuratively at least, upon the wall of every banking room. The books used by National Bank of Pakistan are of various kinds and their purpose is indicated by name. A ledger is a book used to keep a record of balances. To "post" means to enter in the proper columns either the debits or credits on the ledger, and the difference between them represents the balance either due by or to the bank. Another important book which is used by the National Bank of Pakistan is journal, a book in which daily transactions are listed in regular order as to accounts, and the total debit or credit is then posted on the ledgers. All other books, cards and sheets used by bank of whatever nature is a part or subdivisions of these books. Often they become known among the clerks by some other name descriptive of their general appearance. For instance, the general ledger scratcher in one bank is known as the "red book," while the collection scratcher is the "black book." The records made by one clerk upon one set of books go to check the records of another clerk upon a different set of books. For instance, the paying teller and the receiving teller will each keep a record of checks cashed or deposited payable within the bank. The debit postings of the individual bookkeeper would agree with the
1

teller's figures. Skillful accounting lies in making the fullest possible use of original entries, at the same time having a check on all figures to guard against either error or fraud. Every transaction ultimately affects the bank's statement of condition by debit or credit. For example, a deposit of Rs.1000 is made, consisting of Rs.200 cash and checks as follows: Rs.200 on the bank itself and Rs. 600 payable in another city. At the end of the day (assuming this to be the only deposit), on the liabilities side there is an increase of Rs 800 all of which appears in the item "deposits" being the total Rs.1000, less the check for Rs 200 which is charged to the account of the drawer. On the resource side, then, a corresponding increase of Rs.800 and this is made up by an increase in the cash of Rs 200 and an increase of Rs.600 in the item "due from banks." Or a transaction may appear on one side of the statement only. The bank has sold Rs.5, 000.00 of the bonds it owns. R ESPONSIBILITIES

2.20.7 INTERNAL

AND

EXTERNAL REPORTING

Chief Financial Officer now has extensive responsibilities for internal and external reporting. All the information required for decision-making by the Board of Directors and Chief Executive is processed and furnished by the Chief Financial Officer. Apart from this, external reporting requirement is fulfilled by Chief Financial Officer, the accounts and financial statements are signed by the Chief Financial Officer before they are sent to concerned authorities.CCG requires that the listed companies submit their quarterly accounts to the shareholders within one month of the close of the first and third quarter of year of account. The CCG does not prescribe the time for submitting half yearly accounts to the shareholders. Here we can refer to section 245 of companies’ ordinance 1984 for this purpose, which requires half yearly accounts to be submitted within two months of the close of first half. The CCG requires a limited review of half yearly accounts by external auditor. Annual audited accounts are now required to be submitted within four months of the close of financial year. The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan is exercising strict vigilance to ensure compliance of 4th and 5th schedule of the Companies Ordinance, 1984 and timely submission of accounts by companies. It has recently imposed penalties on Directors of nine listed companies who failed to prepare and circulate the quarterly accounts. Furthermore, fines have been imposed on chief executives. USE OF ELECTRONIC DATA IN DECISION MAKING The technological development in the field of information systems make it possible for management to use electronic data in decision making. An understanding of the effective and responsible use and management of information systems and technologies is important for managers, business professionals, and other knowledge workers in today’s internetworked enterprises. Information systems play a vital role in the e-business and e-commerce operations, enterprise collaboration and management, and strategic success of businesses that must operate in an internetworked global
1

environment. Thus, the field of information systems has become a major functional area of business administration. The management of a business can use information systems in their decision making process. Before proceeds it’s important to discuss precisely about decision making. Decision making can be regarded as an outcome of mental processes leading to the selection of a course of action among several alternatives. Every decision making process produces a final choice.23 The output can be an action or an opinion of choice. A significant part of decision making skills is in knowing and practicing good decision making techniques. One of the most practical decision making techniques can be summarized in following simple decision making steps:
1.

Identify the purpose of your decision. What is exactly the problem to be solved? Why it should be solved? Gather information. What factors does the problem involve? Identify the principles to judge the alternatives. What standards and judgment criteria should the solution meet? Brainstorm and list different possible choices. Generate ideas for possible solutions. See more on extending your options for your decisions on my brainstorming tips page.

2. 3.

4.

5.

Evaluate each choice in terms of its consequences. Use your standards and judgment criteria to determine the cons and pros of each alternative. Determine the best alternative. This is much easier after you go through the above preparation steps. Put the decision into action. Transform your decision into specific plan of action steps. Execute your plan. Evaluate the outcome of your decision and action steps. What lessons can be learnt? This is an important step for further development of your decision making skills and judgment.

After the acquisition of the funds their allocation becomes necessary. The Bank seeks the best way for making investment to get more profit with the maximum security. The Bank has an investment portfolio in which it allocate its funds for crediting to borrowers, investment in the stock market etc. The National Bank of Pakistan allocate its funds in Lending’s to financial institutions, investments, advances, operating fixed assets and other assets etc. 3.7 CRITICAL ANALYSIS (THEORY VS PRACTICAL) During Internship it was my prime objective to furnish my knowledge (Theory) to various practical situations. The practical work presents an analytical problem while relating theory with practice. As a result, analysis of practical versus theory requires a distinct approach. This part of report is the essence of the internship, as this will help to better understand the working environment of the bank by finding the relationship between what is written in the books and what is actually going on in fields. The theory written in the books in cases is not implemented as it is. In some cases theory is implemented with a little modification but in other cases theory has nothing to do with practice. In accounting, banks don’t prepare worksheet, but part of worksheet is prepared like trial balance. The securities for the loans are handled in the same way as theory says like mortgage, pledge, hypothecation, advances against insurance policies or liquidation procedure is the same. There is some difference lies in types of loans in bank that is theory talks about four or five types of loans that is cash finance, overdraft, loans etc., but in practice there are some more types used by bank like running finance, demand finance etc. All other concepts of remittances, bills, foreign exchange deposits, letters of credit are in accordance with theory almost. A bank's balance sheet is different from that of a typical company. You won't find inventory, accounts receivable, or accounts payable. Instead, under assets, you'll see mostly loans and investments, and on the liabilities side, you'll see deposits and borrowings. 3.8 CONCLUSION To me, Theory gives the direction to understand the processes and the terminologies going across the World using best business practices in a broader view covering each and every aspect of possible business scenarios. On the contrary practical life is specific, enclosed in a jar.

21,914,412 36,435,929 7 “NBP Quarterly Report June 2010"

Financial analysis is a process which involves reclassification and summarization of information through the establishment of ratios and trends. Financial statement analysis is the process of examining relationships among financial statement elements and making comparisons with relevant information. It is a valuable tool used by investors and creditors, financial analysts, and others in their decision-making processes related to stocks, bonds, and other financial instruments. The goal in analyzing financial statements is to assess past performance and current financial position and to make predictions about the future performance of a company. Investors who buy stock are primarily interested in a company's profitability and their prospects for earning a return on their investment by receiving dividends and/or increasing the market value of their stock holdings. Creditors and investors who buy debt securities, such as bonds, are more interested in liquidity and solvency: the company's short-and long-run ability to pay its debts. Financial analysts, who frequently specialize in following certain industries, routinely assess the profitability, liquidity, and solvency of companies in order to make recommendations about the purchase or sale of securities, such as stocks and bonds. The analysis of financial statement refers to the examination of the statements for the purpose of acquiring additional information regarding the activities of the business. The users of the financial information often find analysis desirable for the interpretation of the firm’s activities.

2

The overall objective of financial statement analysis is the examination of a firm’s financial position and returns in relation to risk. This must be done with a view to forecasting the firm’s future prospective. Analysts can obtain useful information by comparing a company's most recent financial statements with its results in previous years and with the results of other companies in the same industry. Three primary types of financial statement analysis are commonly known as horizontal analysis, vertical analysis, and ratio analysis. 4.3.1 RATIO ANALYSIS Ratio analysis enables the analyst to compare items on a single financial statement or to examine the relationships between items on two financial statements. After calculating ratios for each year's financial data, the analyst can then examine trends for the company across years. Since ratios adjust for size, using this analytical tool facilitates intercompany as well as intercompany comparisons. Ratios are often classified using the following terms: profitability ratios (also known as operating ratios), liquidity ratios, and solvency ratios. Profitability ratios are gauges of the company's operating success for a given period of time. Liquidity ratios are measures of the short-term ability of the company to pay its debts when they come due and to meet unexpected needs for cash. Solvency ratios indicate the ability of the company to meet its long-term obligations on a continuing basis and thus to survive over a long period of time. Financial ratios allow for comparison: • • • • Between companies Between industries Between different time periods for one company Between a single company and its industry average

4.3.1.1 PROFITABILITY RATIOS The continued viability of any bank depends on its ability to earn an appropriate return on its assets and capital. Good earning performance enables a bank to fund its operations, remain competitive in the market and increase or decrease in market funds. Profitability ratios relate profit to sales and investments. These ratios indicate the firm’s overall effectiveness of operations and give us idea how well firm utilized its resources in generating profit and shareholder value. 4.3.1.2 LIQUIDITY RATIOS

1

The liquidity position of a bank is like a reservoir. It may be adequate, although nearly depleted, just before the start of the rainy season. Or it may be inadequate, although three quarters full just before the summer drought. Liquidity can be defined as: “The bank’s ability not only to meet possible deposit withdrawals but also to provide for the legitimate needs of the economy as well” 4.3.1.3 DEBT RATIOS These ratios give users a general idea of the company's overall debt load as well as its mix of equity and debt. Debt ratios can be used to determine the overall level of financial risk a company and its shareholders face.

However, in 2006 (1.02) the management of National Bank of Pakistan is able to overcome this problem. The year 2007 (1.00) is also good for bank as per standards of this ratio.

The ratio is keeping its trend and also increases in the year 2009 as it was 1.09. 4.3.2 HORIZONTAL ANALYSIS This technique is also known as comparative analysis. It is conducted by setting consecutive balance sheet, income statement or statement of cash flow side-by-side and reviewing changes in individual categories on a year-to-year or multiyear basis. The most important item revealed by comparative financial statement analysis is trend. A comparison of statements over several years reveals direction, speed and extent of a trend(s). The horizontal financial statements analysis is done by restating amount of each item or group of items as a percentage. Such percentages are calculated by selecting a base year and assign a weight of 100 to the amount of each item in the base year statement. Thereafter, the amounts of similar items or groups of items in prior or subsequent financial statements are expressed as a percentage of the base year amount. The resulting figures are called index numbers or trend ratios. Formula = Current Year amount / Base Year amount * 100 Horizontal analysis, whilst simple to execute and useful to a certain extent, has its limitations. These limitations include: • • • Being highly dependent on the selection of base year and the period under examination in the financial model. Horizontal analysis provides little insight into why the trend occurred in a financial model. Horizontal analysis does not provide insight into whether the trend in the financial model results was superior/inferior to some benchmark.

4.3.5 VERTICAL ANALYSIS When using vertical analysis, the analyst calculates each item on a single financial statement as a percentage of a total. The term vertical analysis applies because each year's figures are listed vertically on a financial statement. The total used by the analyst on the income statement is net sales revenue, while on the balance sheet it is total assets. This approach to financial statement analysis, also known as component percentages, produces common-size financial statements. Common-size balance sheets and income statements can be more easily compared, whether across the years for a single company or across different companies. Vertical analysis is a technique for identifying relationship between items in the same financial statement by expressing all amounts as the percentage of the total amount taken as 100. In a balance sheet, for example, cash and other assets are shown as a percentage of the total assets and, in an income statement, each expense is shown as a percentage of the sales revenue. In Vertical analysis, various components of the financial statements are standardized by expressing them as a percentage of some bases. Examples of common-sized statements include: • • Components of the balance sheet expressed as a percentage of total assets Components of the income statement expressed as a percentage of sales or revenue 4.3.6 VERTICAL ANALYSIS OF BALANCE SHEET

A stock exchange is a corporation or mutual organization which provides "trading" facilities for stock brokers and traders, to trade stocks and other securities. The securities traded on a stock exchange include: shares issued by companies, unit trusts and other pooled investment products and bonds. To be able to trade a security on a certain stock exchange, it has to be listed there. The initial offering of stocks and bonds to investors is by definition done in the primary market and subsequent trading is done in the secondary market. In Pakistan securities are traded on three stock exchanges which are Karachi stock exchange, Lahore stock exchange and Islamabad stock exchange. The financial position of commercial banks registered on stock exchanges in Pakistan, are shown in preceding page in terms of their: • • • • • • • • Paid-up Capital Reserves Assets Deposits Advances Profit after tax Earnings per share Credit rating

The best way to analyze these commercial banks is to analyze their credit ratings. The National Bank of Pakistan enjoys the highest credit rating amongst Pakistani banks; JCR- VIS Credit rating Co. Limited awarded highest standalone credit rating of AAA

to NBP. The JCRVIS Credit rating Co. comments about NBP say a lot about the bank:24 “The organization has been able to strategically manage and build on its competitive advantages which has translated into the strong and well managed improvement in profitability trend observed over the last few years, a substantial balance sheet of sound asset quality, and strong liquidity and capitalization levels” NBP’s key strength remains its extensive outreach and a low cost, stable deposit base. Deposits are also guaranteed by the Government of Pakistan under the Banking Nationalization Act, 1974. There have also been significant improvements in the management practices of the bank and a focus on enhancement of systems and controls. In this regard the management has entered into an agreement for the acquisition of a core banking software which is likely to be implemented over the next few years. JCR-VIS believes that the current economic situation puts certain leading industrial sectors and the general consumer under financial stress. Therefore, the second half of 2008 and 2009 are likely to be challenging for the banking sector as a whole, in terms of maintaining growth, asset quality and profitability.25 The JCR-VIS Rating Process include following steps:26 1. Signs agreement for an initial rating 2. Submits preliminary information materials 3. Conducts a preliminary study 4. Submits a detailed questionnaire to the issuer/client 5.

WEAKNESSES OF NATIONAL BANK OF PAKISTAN

The National Bank of Pakistan’s Advance salary, which has long been the flag-ship product for NBP, is replete with charges of corruption, default and inefficiency.

• •

The National Bank of Pakistan’s huge number of borrowers is untraceable or correct whereabouts are not known. The housing finance product of NBP lacks proper infrastructure including database support even after five years of post launch history. The similar products launched by other commercial banks are much smaller in size are

2

running on well-articulated systems and are backed by proper policies and guidelines. The NBP product, despite boasting a sizeable portfolio built around some reckless selling, is mostly infected. • The NBP Karobar scheme is designed around President’s Rozgar scheme. The scheme which had all the potential to become a landmark was so badly mishandled by National Bank of Pakistan. • • • The Quality of infrastructure added by National Bank of Pakistan during the last few years is quite substandard as compared to that of peer banks. In NBP’s five year strategic plan 2007-2011 approved by board of directors does not address any serious thinking on As for as public interest is concerned there were no service standards benchmarks and guidelines available in NBP. There were only old documents that were crafted at least a decade or more back. • • Due to poor planning the bank had book losses of over 1.2 billion rupees in the Karobar Scheme. The National Bank of Pakistan’s outsourced employees (2350) was obtained from a single source. Most of these are performing the core function of the bank outside their assigned duties without any training and supervision. • • The National Bank of Pakistan is incurred large expenses in running those branches, which are not producing any income. The up gradation of human resource is very slow in NBP. The branches of NBP have less number of employees as their requirements. The concept of “One Man Show” is adopted in many branches to save salary expenditure; even most of the branches use their security guards for various tasks. The one reason for this is that the senior management is able to decrease salary expenditure of the bank, which result an increase in the net profit. For their performance they received handsome amounts of bonus. But in long run it has a negative effect on bank’s productivity. • • The pension’s distribution service or payments to EOBI beneficiaries, utility payments; workers remittances are occupied lowest priority level. In NBP Karobar scheme the product selected by the NBP is of inferior quality and develops faults in the first few months of delivery. 5.3 CONCLUSIONS
