PREFACE

After studying so much about management, accounting and banking theoretically, one always develops a desire to work in a bank. After completion of my course-work , I had a chance to work as an internee at Habib Bank, Main Branch Punjabi Bazaar Kurram Agency Parachinar. Banking is both a sacred and sophisticated profession. In Pakistan Habib Bank has always been in the forefront of this profession. During my stay at Habib Bank I tried my best to acquaint myself with the operations of the bank and as a result learned a lot. What I have learned during my stay at the bank is being presented here for the reader. Banking industry has always played a vital role in the success of economies. The practice is carried out since primitive ages. Multinational banks are now dealing in money and are laying the foundations for countries to stand on their own feet. The internship proved to be extremely helpful in learning about the functions and operations of a bank and how different kinds of procedures at bank are carried out. Although eight weeks internship is not enough time to know delicately about every aspect, but somehow it had the initial touch of being in a practical world. I owe very much too so many people whose help and support at different stages of my work enabled me to write this report. First of all I would like to thank Mr. Muhammad Habib whose help made it possible for me to have an internship in HBL Main Branch Punjabi Bazaar Kurram Agency, Parachinar. I am also grateful to my supervisor Mr. Mussarat Hussain who always taught and corrected me in very loving manner whenever I needed him.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY

esides the bookish knowledge, every student especially a student of management must have an understanding that how theory is practically implemented. Hailey institute of

management studies university of Peshawar requires every student of master of public administration to undergo an internship Program of Eight Weeks in a recognized organization. The internship is to serve the purpose of acquainting students with the practice of knowledge of the discipline of business administration. For this reason I carried out my internship at Habib Bank Limited, Main Branch Punjabi Bazaar Kurram Agency Parachinar. I prepared this report on the basis of knowledge, which I previously had, and especially from working in HBL during my internship. Habib Bank Limited is the premier bank of the country, established in 1941. Its registered head office is in Karachi. Habib Bank played a memorable role in credit handling at the time of independence. Habib Bank was nationalized in 1974, but now the Government has privatized the bank again.

1.2 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY


The main purpose of the study is to increase my knowledge and skill in preparation of report and collection of relevant data and information about Habib Bank Limited to compile internship report more completely, precisely and more effectively.

1.5 LIMITATIONS
During the internship, I had faced certain limitations and problems, first being the time duration; only two months are not sufficient to understand the functions of all the departments of the bank. Another problem was scarcity of written material and the element of secrecy, due to which; I could not get access to all areas. Lastly the busyness of bank personnel they used to be so busy in their official work that they could not had time for us to make us understand on certain phenomenon. Although they were very helpful but still I faced great hardship in gathering information and understanding of procedures. For this purpose I studied few previous reports on HBL to complete my report.

CHAPTER-2

EVALUATION OF BANKING
2.1 FORMATION OF BANKING
The history of banking can be traced back to the early days of recorded history when goldsmiths used to store the valuables of people in their safe custody. People use to store their valuables because of the danger of theft of money being transported or stored. In the 17th century, English goldsmiths provided the model for contemporary banking. Gold was stored with these artisans for safekeeping, and was expected to be returned to the owners on demand. The owners of these valuables became the first depositors of the banking history.1 i. Issuance of Notes The goldsmiths soon discovered that the amount of gold actually removed by owners was only a fraction of the total stored. Thus, they could temporarily lend out some of this gold to others, obtaining a promissory note for principal and interest. In time, paper certificates redeemable in gold coin were circulated instead of gold. Consequently, the total value of these bank notes in circulation exceeded the value of the gold that was exchangeable for the notes. ii. Fractional Reserve Banking The second stage in banking history was the birth of the concept of fractional reserve banking through which goldsmiths were transformed from mere custodians of valuables into bankers.

Internship Report on HBL

Chapter-2

Evaluation of Banking

According to this system the bankers were allowed to keep only a fraction of the valuables actually deposited with them and the rest could be lend out This system continued to exist because it was to the advantage of both the goldsmiths and public. The public was convinced that the fractional reserve system is to the mutual benefit of both. The banker provided safety, convenience, ease of transfer, and bookkeeping services at a little or no charge to the public. iii. Money Lenders Third stage in the development of modern banking was that the banker was allowed to use the public deposits as reserves against lending activity. As is the case in most communities of interest, a way to achieve their mutual advantage was found. Any moral or ethical implications of holding less than 100% reserve in order to increase profits have been rationalized. Two characteristics of this fractional-reserve banking remain the basis for present-day operations. First, the banking systems monetary liabilities exceed its reserves. This feature was responsible in part for Western industrialization, and it still remains important for economic expansion, though a risk of creating too much money is a rise in inflation. Second, liabilities of the banks (deposits and borrowed money) are more liquid that is, more readily convertible to cashthan are the assets (loans and investments) included on the banks balance sheets. This characteristic enables consumers, businesses, and governments to finance activities that otherwise would be deferred or cancelled; at the same time, it opens banks to the risk of a liquidity crisis. When depositors rush to request for payment, the inability of a bank to respond because it lacks sufficient liquidity means that it must either renew on its promises to pay or pay until it fails.

2.2 BANKING IN PAKISTAN


At the time of independence, the areas, which now constitute Pakistan, were producing only food grains and agricultural raw material for Indo-Pakistan subcontinent. There were practically no industries, and whatever raw material was produced was being exported from Pakistan. However, commercial banking facilities were provided fairly well here. There were 487 offices of scheduled banks in the territories now constituting Pakistan. As a new country without resources it was very difficult for Pakistan to run its own banking system immediately. Expert Committee was appointed to study the issue. Therefore, in The committee accordance with the provision of Indian Independence Act of 1947, an recommended that the Reserve Bank of India should continue to function in Pakistan until 30th September 1948, so that the problems of time and demand liability, coinage, currencies, exchange etc are settled between India and Pakistan. It was also stipulated that Pakistan would take over the management of public debt and exchange control from Reserve Bank of India on 1st April 1948, and that Indian Notes would continue to be legal tender in Pakistan till 30th September, 1948 following the announcement of Independence Plan in June 1947, the Hindus residing in the territories now comprising Pakistan started transferring their assets to India. Moreover, the banks including those having their registered offices in Pakistan transferred them to India in order to bring a collapse of the new State. By 30th June 1948, the number of offices of scheduled banks in Pakistan declined from 487 to only 195. Consequently the governor-general of Pakistan and the Father of the Nation, Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, inaugurated the State Bank of Pakistan on July 1, 1948, after the State Bank of Pakistan Order was promulgated on May 12, 1948. Thus a landmark was made in the history of banking when the State Bank of Pakistan assumed full control of banking and currency in Pakistan.

Evaluation of Banking

As the Central Bank of the country, the State Bank addressed itself with the equally urgent task of creating a national banking system. In order to attain this goal it provided every help and encouragement to Habib Bank to expand its network of branches, and also recommended to Government the establishment of a new bank which could serve as an agent of the State Bank. As a result, The National Bank of Pakistan came into being in 1949 and by 1952 it became strong enough to take over the agency function from the Imperial Bank of India. In order to develop sound banking and weeding out weak institutions, the Banking Companies (Control) Act was promulgated in 1949, empowering the State Bank to control the operations of Banking Companies in Pakistan, including preparation of the required trained manpower. Further, the State Bank restricted the opening of new branches by foreign banks in port towns or in big cities from where trade was being carried out with foreign countries, where Pakistani banks were allowed to open as many branches as possible within the country.

But with the passage of time and by the efforts of Habib brothers Habib Bank Limited grew in size and its deposits increased to 2.40 crore by the end of 1942.

i. Planning

OF

KEY

AREAS

OF

HABIB

In this tense kind of business situation, where competition is high and environment is rapidly changing the only thing which can save a business is effective planning and its implementation. Many economic technological, social and political changes globally; therefore it will be almost impossible for an organization to survive without planning its feature. Keeping in view these facts Habib Bank is fully committed to plan all its activities for the progress in such a dynamic and threatened changing environment. In designing an environment, for effective performance of individual working together in-groups, the most important task is to see the purpose; objectives and methods of attaining them are clearly understood. Planning can be classified into purpose, objective policy procedures and budgets. ii. Policies Policies are general guidelines for decision making process throughout the organization. Policies define an area within which a decision is to be made and ensures the decision will be consistent with and contribute to an objective. Policies help decide issues before they become problems; makes it unnecessary to analyze the same situation every time it comes up and unify other plans. Keeping in view the importance of policies the upper management of Habib Bank engineered their own Set of policies ranging from

56

Chapter-7

Analysis of Habib Bank Limited

managerial, marketing and operational policies. These policies are known to each and every employee of Habib Bank but these are often implied. Polices and many of them do not exist in written form. Which some times create ambiguity for the employees. iii. Procedures Procedures are the plans, which establish a required set of method of handling future activities. They are guides to actions rather than to thinking. Procedures define the manner in which certain activities must be handled and accomplished. Habib Bank has its own procedures for handling and

accomplishing certain tasks like the operational procedures regarding day to day banking. iv. Budgets Budget is a statement of expected results expressed in numerical terms. Budget brings precision in planning. It also serves a control device for evaluating enterprise operations. In a broad sense a budget is a tool which managers use to translate future plans into quantitative terms. Budget being the essential part of planting process is also prepared at Habib Bank. And different amount of resources is allocated for different uses.

7.3 ANALYSIS STRUCTURE

OF

ORGANIZATIONAL

Organization means the organized activities of a group of people working towards a group goal to be achieved by the people for betterment and development of the organization and eventually for the achievement of individual objectives. Organizing is that part of managing that involves establishing an intentional structure of roles for people to be filled in an organization. It is intentional in a sense of making sure that all the tasks
Internship Report on HBL

57

Chapter-7

Analysis of Habib Bank Limited

necessary to accomplish goals are assigned and, it is hoped, assigned to people who can do them best. The purpose of an organizational structure is to help in creating an environment for human performance. It is then, a management tool and not an end in and of itself. Although the structure must define the task to be done, the rules so established must also be designed in the light of abilities and motivations of the people available. If we analyze the organizational structure of Habib Bank we will find the presence of following elements in its structure. i. Centralized Decision Making By looking at the organizational structure of Habib Bank Limited we will find that the structure at Habib Bank Limited is a critical one. All the decisions are made at the top management level and the subordinates have to obey these decisions. This trend in the centralized decision making show a pattern of rigidity in the structure of Habib Bank Limited. ii. Downward Communication Communication is the process by which information is exchanged and understood by two or more people, usually with the interest to motivate or influence the behavior of others in the organization. Downward communication is the message and information sent from top management to subordinates in a downward direction. Managers can communicate downward to employees through speeches, messages in company publications, information leaflets tucked into pay envelops material on bulletin boards, and policy and procedure mandates. The same pattern is followed at Habib Bank. No doubt its a very traditional approach but it can create problems because it ignores the receiver of the communication because the issuance of polices and procedures, does not ensure communication. In reality many of the messages communicated downward are not understood perfectly.

Analysis of Habib Bank Limited

iii.

Chain of Command The chain of command is an unbroken line of authority that links

all persons in an organization and shows who reports to whom. If we analyze the organizational structure we will find that there is a scalar principle followed within the Bank because each and every person knows to whom he report. The authority and responsibility for different tasks and duties are different, as well as every one knows the successive levels of management all the way to the top. iv. Authority and Responsibility The chain of command illustrates the authority structure of Habib Bank. Authority is the formal and legitimate right of the manager to make decisions, issues, and orders and allocates resources to achieve organizational desired outcomes. As we have analyzed the chain of command of Habib Bank, we come to the conclusion that, as there is a scalar pattern followed at the organizational setup of Habib Bank therefore it is implied that everyone in his position knows that what is his authority and what is his responsibility for the allocated authority. v. Delegation Delegation is the process manager use to transfer of authority and responsibility to positions below them in the hierarchy. Most organizations today encourage managers to delegate authority to the lowest possible level to provide maximum flexibility to meet customer needs and adapts to environment. But at Habib Bank no such system prevails the managers try to keep, as much of the authority as they can and if some authority is delegated it is sure that it will be misused.

Analysis of Habib Bank Limited

i.

Lack of Coordination Lack of coordination is one of the charges most frequently leveled

against large organizations, the result of all this is delay, frustration and waste on part of the employees of the bank and for the customers. The main reason of it is burden of work on employees. All of them are so busy in their duties that they dont know what my fellow is doing. ii. No Proper Timing for Lunch There is break of lunch in this branch .The employees do their lunch during the banking hours, which not only creates bad impression on customers but it is also a great problem for bank employees and internees. iii. Work Burden Due to the location of the branch the employees are under heavy stress due to the burden of work. The bank office is completely occupied during the first week of the month, customer come to get their salaries on this day. iv. Computerization of the bank Turi Bazar branch is located in a very busy locality. It is also a very old branch but still where most of the branches were already computerized this branch is still in queue to be computerized. They were preparing to computerize the time I was doing internship. Although it is computerized now.

7.5 PROCEDURAL ANALYSIS


Most of the procedures are very lengthy at Habib Bank. Fore example if a customer wants to open account in bank, he has to fill three different forms. After filling these forms he has to wait for four days for approval of his I.D. card from NADRA after approval from NADRA he has to apply for chequebook. After a week or so he receives his printed chequebook. Opening of account is the first impression of bank on customer and this very first impression is bad.

Chapter-7

Analysis of Habib Bank Limited

The is also true in case if somebody wants a loan from the bank the procedures are too lengthy which in most cases leads to a loss to the bank in terms of interest income to the bank. They may apply somewhere else where the procedures are simple and short. Other there is a red tape exists in every department of the bank, which contributes, eventually to a loss of image to the bank in the market where every bank tries to compete on what so ever basis. This lengthy procedure is only for safeguarding the customer and loan but stretching it too much leads to bad impression.

Financial Analysis

CHAPTER-8

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Financial statements are the principal means of reporting the financial condition and results of operations of a business entity. These statements are the means to assist various parties in decision making who are interested in the activities of the business. These statements are means to an end of helping stakeholders in decision making to improve the quality of decision making proper analysis of these statements helps a lot. Financial statement analysis helps in determining the financial conditions at any particular point in time and effectiveness of operations of a firm during a specific period. The various stakeholders of business are all interested in the analysis of financial statements. But the focus of interest of all is not the same. For example creditors and credit reporting agencies are interested in finding out the credit worthiness of the firm to which they have extended credit or intend to extend credit. Short term creditors are interested in the short term liquidity of the business and long term creditors are interested in the long run cash flow which the firm can generate over the long period of time. Investors are interested in the firms ability to sustain profitability over a period of time. Government agencies analyze financial data for tax purposes. The internal users of financial statement like management also analyze financial data for planning and control. The financial data of HBL is analyzed in the two following ways: 1. Index Analysis 2. Common Size Analysis 3. Ratio Analysis

Internship Report on HBL

62

Chapter-8

Financial Analysis

Index and common size Analysis are used to measure a firms performance over time in relation to itself. Such analysis is called time series analysis.

8.1 INDEX ANALYSIS OF HBL


Growth or Index analysis is done when financial analyst measures a firms performance over time. Comparison of the firms current performance to past performance through financial analysis allows the analyst to determine whether the firm is progressing as planned.

Knowledge of trends assists the management in planning future operations. The theory behind time-series analysis is that the firm must be evaluated in relation to its past performance and appropriate action must be taken where necessary, in order to direct the firms towards its immediate and long term desired goals.

8.2 COMMON SIZE ANALYSIS


Common size analysis is an analysis of financial statements where total assets divide all balance sheet items and all income statement items are divided by net sales or revenues. Common size statements can be extremely helpful to highlight changes over time in the financial performance and financial condition of a company. However, growth or decline in various items of balance sheet and income statement cannot be detected from the common size percentage only changes in the data relative to a total for a particular date or period can be determined. A statement item that has increased in rupee amount will show a decrease percentage if the total has increased at a greater rate than the individual item or vice versa

8.3 RATIO ANALYSIS


A ratio is a quantitative relation between two magnitudes of the same kind. In ratio analysis, the financial ratios of the firm are compared to that of its competitors. This comparison allows the firm to detect major operating differences, which if corrected, will increase its efficiency. Another very popular method of ratio analysis is to compare the firms financial ratios to industry average or similar form in industry or to our own past performance. Before discussion financial ratios, three cautions are in order: a. A single ratio does not generally provide sufficient information to judge the overall performance of the firm. Only when a group of ratios is used, a reasonable judgment concerning the firms overall financial state can be made. b. An analyst, when comparing financial statement, should ensure that predetermined uniform standards are used for this purpose. c. It must be ensured that the data used in calculating financial ratios have been developed in the same manner and are sound and reliable. There is no doubt that financial ratios are a useful guide for managerial decision-making but these are not exact and definite. Ratios only suggest the questions that need to be answered and provide no answers.

8.10 FINANCIAL RATIO


To evaluate a firms financial condition and performance, the financial analyst needs to perform checkups on various aspects of a firms financial health. A tool frequently used during these checkups is financial ratio or index.

8.11 LIQUIDITY RATIOS


Liquidity Ratios help us understand if we can meet our obligations over the short-run. Higher liquidity levels indicate that we can easily meet our current obligations. We can use several types of ratios to monitor liquidity.

8.11.1

Current Ratio

It measures the ability of the firm to meet the current debts with currents Assets. OR It shows the short-term debt-paying ability of an organization.

Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities 2009 2010 = 79,839,836 / 10,041,542 = 81,640,246/ 9,775,093 = 7.950 = 8.351

Interpretation
This means that Habib bank has Rs.7.950 and Rs.8.351 in its Current Assets to meet its every Rs.1 Current Liabilities in the years. 2009 and 2010 respectively.

8.12 LEVERAGE RATIOS


Another important group of detail ratios are Leverage Ratios. Leverage Ratios measure the use of debt and equity for financing of assets

Internship Report on HBL

70

Chapter-8

Financial Analysis

8.12.1

Debt-to-Equity

It indicates the extent to which the debt financing is used relative to Equity financing. This ratio is used to determine an entitys long-term debt-paying ability. It helps to determine how well the creditors are protected in case of insolvency of a company. It compares the funds provided by creditors to the funds provided by shareholders.

Debt to Equity Ratio = Total Debt / Share holders Equity 2009 2010 = 779,554,995/ 9,108,000 =789,164,897/ 10,018,800 = 85.59 = 78.76

Interpretation
This means that for each Rs. 1 brought by shareholders, the Creditors brought Rs. 85.59 and Rs. 78.76 during the years 2009 and 2010 respectively to finance the HBL.

8.12.2

Debt-To-Total-Assets

The Debt to total assets Ratio measures the level of debt in relation to our investment in assets. The Debt Ratio tells us the percent of funds provided by creditors and to what extent our assets protect us from creditors. A low Debt Ratio would indicate that we have sufficient assets to cover our debt load. Creditors and management favor a low Debt Ratio

Debt to Total Assets = Total Debt / Total Assets 2009 2010 = 779,554,995/ 863,924,793= 0.9020 = 789,164,897/ 875,451,415= 0.9010

Internship Report on HBL

71

Chapter-8

Financial Analysis

Interpretation
This means that for each Rs 1 invested in the Total Assets of the HBL, Rs 0.9020 and Rs 0.9010 have been brought by the creditors during the years 2009 and 2010 respectively.

8.13 PROFITABILITY RATIOS


Profitability Ratios measure the level of earnings in comparison to a base, such as assets, sales, or capital. Analysis of profit is of vital concern to stockholders as they derive revenue, in the form of dividends, when paid from profit. Profits are also important to creditors as they are source of funds for debt coverage.

8.13.1

Net Profit Margin

Profit Margin measures the percent of profits you generate for each dollar of sales. Profit Margin reflects your ability to control costs and make a return on your sales. Management is interested in having high profit margins.

Net Profit Margin = (Net Profit / Net Sales or total income) * 100 2009 2010 = (6,099,858/ 21,277,842) *100 = (7,865,165/ 25,704,769) * 100 = 28.66%

= 30.59%

Interpretation
This means that the HBL earned Rs. 28.66 and Rs. 30.59 as net profit for each Rs 100 for 2009 and 2010 respectively.

Interpretation
This means that HBL is able to earn Rs. 7.22 and Re. 9.11 return on its each Rs. 1 invested capital in 2009 and 2010 respectively.

It measures the earning power on shareholders book value investment. A high return on equity often reflects the firms acceptance of strong investment opportunities and effective expense management. Higher the ratio more the risk for entity, and more returns for shareholders.

Return on Equity = Net Profit / Shareholders Equity 2009 2010 = (6,099,858 / 9,108,000) = (7,865,165 / 10,018,800) *100 * 100 = 66.97 % = 78.50 %

Interpretation
This means that HBL has been able to grant a return of 66.97 % & 78.50 % to all shareholders on their equity during, 2009 & 2010 respectively. It is a high return for shareholders & thus too much attractive for investors.

CHAPTER 9

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS


9.1 CONCLUSION
During my two months internship in HBL Turi Bazar Branch Parachinar , I observed many things at the Bank such as its working procedures, policies, and many other aspects of practical nature of a big organization like Habib Bank. On the basis of all these observations, I have come to the conclusion. As we see that this world is very dynamic and changing, so any organization, financial or non-financial has to be innovative in order to be in a run for competition for the products it develops or the services it provides to its consumers. Habib Bank is one of the oldest and more settled banks of Pakistan in fact it remained the business of financial services for more than the life of our country. Probably it was one of the most established Banks at the time of independence of Pakistan. During its course of history Habib Bank contributed a lot in the development and fostering the growth of economy in the country. Despite all these facts there are some areas, which needs to be improved, like it should computerize all its Network of branches in order to meet the requirements of a new era and to fulfill the needs of 21st century.

Separation of Activities
Many of the activities at the bank are haphazardly arranged and one person has to do many jobs, which makes problems in handling of activities. In order to be more effective the activities should be properly distributed among the concerned employees of the bank.

Enhanced Customers Services


Improved customer service should be adopted at Habib Bank. Personalized banking system should be introduced to attract more customers, and all the customers should be given due respect.
