1.1 Background of the study

AG Office Peshawar

Internship report is the most significant obligation for the completion of the degree of BBA
(Hons) Program at Agricultural University Peshawar.

I had done my internship in AG head office Peshawar and Specially my area of focus was its
Payroll department and General Provident Fund department (G.P Fund).

Accountant General is a provincial office of the Controller General of Accounts, which has been
performing delegated functions on behalf of Controller General of Accounts ever since its
inception. Created primarily for keeping and maintaining the accounts of provincial government,
this office has been performing functions in accordance with provisions of the constitution of the
Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973 and the Presidential order, 2001.

The concept of keeping accounts and other related records in one form or other has prevailed all
through the ages. It is necessary to maintain records of incoming and outgoing, being taken in
any shape, time, circumstances and locations.
1.2 Purpose of the study
The main purpose of the study is to observe the practices and procedures being followed in AG
Office and deficiencies and problems faced by the management. And to improve long report
writing skills.

1.3 Scope of the study

During the internship my observation was focused on internal management matters of AG
Office. I started working as an internee in Payroll section, besides this I worked in G.P Fund
section too. So the main focus was on these two departments of AG Office. As my area of
specialization is finance, so my report revolves around analysis of financial statement of Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa.

conducted in accordance with the objectives of the study; the study may not include broad
