Keeping in view the purpose of the study, which is to make an acquaintance with practical doings in the bank, this seems a comprehensive effort.
d) Limitation of study:
It is to admit that the study attempts only those aspects, which are closely relevant to the purpose of the study. Facts and figures, which otherwise might be equally important, but not having a direct bearing on the conclusions arrived at this study, have been ignored. The most important limitation from which the study suffers is the non-availability of information in a manner required for analysis and the secrecy of the bank. Another important limitation of the study is time and space constraint.

40
Such assets are showed at their cost or revalued amount less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. No depreciation is charged on freehold land. Gains and losses on sale of fixed assets are included in income currently, except that the related surplus on revaluation of fixed assets is transferred directly to retained earnings/accumulated losses. b. Leased Assets under financial leases are stated at cost. The outstanding obligations are shown as a liability. The finance charges are allocated to accounting periods in a manner so as to provide a constant periodic rate of charge on the outstanding liability. c. Foreign Currencies Balances are translated into rupees at the applicable rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date or where applicable at contractual rates. During year transactions are converted into Pak rupees applying the exchange rate at the date of respective transactions. Gains and losses are included in income currently. d. Deferred Cost and Lease Payments These are amortized over a period of five years. Rental obligations under operating leases are charged to profit and loss account as incurred.
5) Taxation
Provision is based on the taxable income for the year or minimum tax computed on the basis of turnover, whichever is higher. The bank accounts for deferred taxation on major timing differences, using the liability method in respect of those timing differences, which may reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax debts are, however, recognized only if there is reasonable expectation of realization of the amount.
e) Risk Management:
The bank is primarily subject to interest rate, credit and currency risks. The bank has designated and implemented a frame work of controls to identify, monitor and manage these risks are as follow;
41
1. Currency Risk Management

For the purpose of efficient management of this risk, the group enters into ready, spot, forward and swap transactions in the inter bank market and with the state bank of Pakistan in order to kedge its assets and liabilities and cover its foreign exchange position.
2. Credit Risk Management

The banks major credit risk is concentrated in textile sector. To manage it the bank applies credit limits to its customers and obtains collaterals. Credit risk in the portfolio is monitored by the credit risk management who formulate appropriated policies and procedures to ensure building and maintaining quality credits and efficient credit process. The banks financial institution risk management unit assesses, recommends financial institutions and also controls cross border/country risk.
3. Interest Rate Risk Management

The group is mainly exposed to mark up interest rate risk on its deposit liabilities and its loans and advances and investment portfolios. The asset liability committee of the bank reviews the portfolio of the bank to ensure that risk is managed within acceptable limits. Most of the loans and advances portfolio comprises of working capital, which are reprised on a periodical basis.
f) Concentration of Credit and Deposits

The major class of business for UBL related to advances is the textile and private sectors. UBL is advancing 27.2% to textile and 74.5% to private sector. Majority of the depositors fails in the category of individuals, contributing 65% of the total deposits.
g) Investment Portfolio
UBL employs diversified investment portfolio. The bank invests its funds both in risk free assets as well as in risky assets. This enables it to minimize its unsystematic risk to a great extent.
42
h) Financial Analysis
Financial statements are the principal means of reporting the financial condition and results of operations of a business entity. These statements are meant 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 statements analysis helps in determining the financial conditions at any particular points in time and effectiveness of operations of a firm during a specific period. The various stakeholders of business are interested in the analysis of financials 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 short term liquidity of the business and long term creditors are interested in the long term 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 statements like management also analyze financial data for planning and control.

7. Qualitative Analysis
a) Qualitative Analysis of UBL
45
During my two months of internship period I have tried to fully commit myself in the learning process. I kept critically observing the things that I could analyze and the result of the exercise is presented as below.
1) Organizational
Existing organizational hierarchy hinders vertical communication and blocks flow of information among the levels of management. The workload is not equally distributed. Coordination level among divisions/departments and employees are poor, particularly speaking of between the top and lower levels of management. There is centralization of authority and branch managers are bound and restricted to take initiative. Due to overlapping nature of duties and jobs there exists confusion in branches.
2) Departmental
During my internship period in UBL, in various departments, I noticed following departmental problems. Cash Department i. Not very frequently but there are instances of fake currency notes, being identified. At times notes received from other branches were found to have certain fake currency notes. ii. Counting mistakes occur due to overcrowding particularly during the collection of utility bills. Manual counting system also affects efficiency of the bank. iii. Code of conduct of cashiers is found unsatisfactory. Remittances Department i. Application of tests for authentication of TTs is not known to al concerned individuals that reduces the efficiency and further the wrong application of tests prevent payments and the delay could dissatisfy customers.
46
ii. Telegraphic messages require specific skills and training. The employees are partially equipped of such knowledge.
Deposit Department i. Identification of customers signature is very important particularly when cash is to be withdrawn by him. Manual practices pose problems in the branch where automation has not been done yet. ii. In cases where the presence of customer himself is must, is sometime compromised due to influences of\r fear of loss of customer.
Clearing Department i. Wrong endorsement and stamping causes loss to the customers and extra efforts for the bank to repeat the procedures. ii. Reasons for the return of the cheques at times are not mentioned on the return memos. iii. At times due to lack of training wrong stamps are applied on instruments.
Credit Department i. Relationship Managers need to be fully equipped with the requisite knowledge and skills as presently plain BA/B.Sc qualified individuals are performing jobs of MBAs. ii. Large pool of potential borrowers cannot apply for loans due to lack of collaterals. Heavy collateral requirements restrict credit business of the bank. iii. The credit proposal and other documents at times are not properly and sufficiently prepared before taking approval.
Bills Department i. Employees at times mismanage their time and fail to forward bills promptly. SADAF (REG.NO 09-PGT-10716) 47
Foreign Exchange Department i. Problems of bills and remittances departments equally apply to foreign exchange department. There is overlapping of functions and complete separation of function has not been achieved thus leading to a state of confusion and conflict among employees. ii. Knowledge and educational background of employees working in this department do not match with the job they are doing. iii. Most of the employees of this department lack the ability to handle the Letters of Credit.
Marketing Department i. Lack of marketing at desk due to lack of training and awareness among employees. ii. Lack of promotional activities. iii. Little attention to the apparent conditions of the bank exterior, interior layouts and design of furniture in the branch.
b) UBL SWOT Analysis

SWOT is useful tool for providing a framework for analysis of an organization. SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. It is a common approach to make assessments in terms of internal and external environment of the organization, and to formulate strategies analyzing its internal strengths and weaknesses, external opportunities and threats, coming up is the SWOT analysis for the UBL. SADAF (REG.NO 09-PGT-10716) 48
1. Strengths:
Strengths are the internal competencies possessed by UBL in comparison with its competitors. UBL with an integrated network gives you direct access to a comprehensive range of better banking facilities to help you monitor your business internationally. It is one of the largest private banks with a deposit base of Rs. 94883/- millions showing constant growth over the period from 2009 till the day. It has a well-knitted and adequately equipped branch networking system that efficiently covers both the domestic and international markets. It is involved in both corporate and retail banking. The bank is actively emerging and is engaged in international trade and foreign exchange transactions. Foreign trade volume showed an increase of 17% over the previous year. Advances investment of the bank shows a constant growth pattern. The current years growth rate is 32%. The overall efficiency of the bank operations and management ability can be noticed by looking at to its income pattern and provisions/write off practices. o Net revenue from funds increased by 18% for the current period. o Provisions decreased by 14%.
49
o Total income increased by 16%. UBL is actively participating in international markets and has recently introduced credit cards in UAE, Behrain, and Qatar, being backed up by 24 hours call center out of UAE. The bank is owned by parties of financial repute and credit worthiness like, state bank of Pakistan with 48.69% interest, Best Way group and Abu Dubai group with 25.50% of interest each. Others are GOP, NBP Trustee Department, State Life Insurance Corporation etc. The bank is run by highly professional recruited from and trained by foreign banks like City Bank.
2.
Weaknesses:
50
Weaknesses are the internal attributes of the bank to decrease in comparison with competing bank. Due to risks such as political, economic and legal etc the bank has suffered losses the main reason was that of piling up of large amount of unrecoverable loans and debts which has adversely affected the image of the UBL. Accumulated losses pushed the bank to cut down its promotional activities in order to reduce expenses for last few years. During the nationalization life span of the bank political lords used influence in bank business and selection of employee at each level and thus adversely affected the banks efficiency and effectiveness. Administrative expenses are 51% of the mark up revenue. Promotions are carried out on annual basis ignoring the importance of capabilities and performance outputs. The bank has large number of employees who are simple graduates with no banking knowledge. Ineffective system of recruiting and selection. Lengthy credit processing and documentation procedures. Unsatisfactory working conditions.
3. Opportunities
An opportunity is an external component lies in outside the organization. They would be beneficial for the company. An opportunity is any chance to follow a new or revised strategy or business, which would be of benefit to the UBL. The efficiency of stock market and sound exchange reserve level is providing a good opportunity for effective investment decisions. Foreign remittances are another area as present world wide control systems over transfer of currencies through illegal channels has facilitated the area for the banks. Reconstruction of Afghanistan is a golden opportunity where the bank can effectively participate. Expansion of IT platform and internet based banking system. Interest of businesses in leasing facilities provides a healthy opportunity for banks. There is a large pool of unemployed MBAs who can be hired to achieve professionalism on its organizational culture. Outsourcing of promotional companies or use of available excellent promotional facilities. Entering new market segments. Increase the product range to meet the broader range of customers needs.
4. Threats
Threats are also external factors in the environment, which are not in the favor of company, which can seriously hamper the companys ability to serve its customers. An Increase in competition due to increasing number of foreign and domestic private banks offering highly specialized and attractive services. Growing global technological advancements and adaptation of modern style of management in banking sectors. Extensive promotion campaigns run by competitors. Unemployment, lower level of income and prices like problems in the motherland coupled with low rate of industrialization, geo political adverse conditions, religious factor, and lack of consistency in policies due to political instability are some of the other major threats. This SWOT analysis is a mirror image of the banks present conditions. Some efforts are made and others are still required to be made in order to improve the situation. The management can develop elaborate strategic plans for capitalizing the available opportunities. The bank should maintain principal of professional management and adhere to sound and sophisticated banking rules and regulations so that confidence and trust of the public in the institutions could be re earned.
53
8. Suggestions & Recommendations
Recommendations
Recommendations are considered to be the most important part of an internship report, without which no report is considered complete and meaningful. This part of the report is based on the previous sections i.e. analysis. Moreover, for bringing suggestions, discussions have been conducted with the staff of UBL officers, who not only provided the basis for recommendations but also pointed out some areas, where the change for the development is utmost important. Realizing the importance of this section, efforts have been made to give feasible recommendations, which are categorized under the following headings. The following are the suggestions that I have recommend for the united bank limited. The behavior with the customers should be improved. There is a great need of proper training of employees. Because when ever they were asked about the latest banking the answer was sorry we dont know. Like the other reputed commercial banks UBL should recruited some officers especially from the fresh MBAs and M.Com students. Doing so, the more talented persons would enter in the management and they will try to make the UBL compatible with the other banks. Try to establish effective communication between top-level management and executive.
54
Also do marketing through internet. This branch is not doing many functions to open the L/C and to deal in export and import facilities. So bank should hire export staff for such type of activities and start them in the branch. The bank must have to apply the marketing strategies to attract the customers which are depositors, like other banks are doing such as City Bank and in the Pakistan.
a) Human Resource Department

The importance of manpower cannot be denied in any organization. In case of banks it is the most valuable asset, because the bank is very sensitive organization and to be in harmony with this sensitivity, need for proper human resource is felt badly. Critical analysis of UBL necessities recommending suggestions that would increase banks efficiency and effectiveness.
1. Development of Managerial Leadership: In service industries like banks the need of managerial skill is much more important. It makes positive contribution towards higher effective results. Without development of managerial leadership, the effective utilization of the human resource will be impossible. UBL should also focus on this area and should avoid deficiencies in managerial leadership, by applying the modern styles of management.
2. Political interference: The political intervention in the bank needs to be stopped so that the top hierarchy as well as the personnel placed at other important levels of the institution is not changed Just on political grounds and the on going developmental work is not obstructed. It will enable the management to formulate long term strategies and their proper implementation because the long term policies, accurately based on calculated risk, have proved the pivotal role players for organizational sustainable development.
3. Basis for Promotion: SADAF (REG.NO 09-PGT-10716) 55
A sizeable portion of the officers of UBL, are promoted in without test and interviews to officers cadre. The promotion policy must be too tight and transparent that no one may have the chance to be promoted on criteria other than the required qualification, experience and performance. As for the present excess staff, those who do not found up to the required criteria may be given GHS etc.
4. Management Changes on Merit: In UBL, though very rare fresh recruitments are made, and the bank faces saturation in personnel, now clipping will be more helpful. This downsizing will leave the bank with the staff, to be retained on the basis of ultimate meritocracy with zero tolerance of incompetence. Now in this remaining workforce, a cultural change right from the top management down to the front line, that better suits to the present day needs of banking environment could be included through proper discipline and training.
5. Needs of change in Recruitment Policy: It is important to say that the external level market is full of the required talent like MBA, M. Com etc. But on the country only graduation with simple subjects is still the requisite qualification for officers cadre, which has already worked amply in the devastation of UBL. Therefore the recruitment qualification to the officers framework should be enhanced for simple graduation, to professionally qualify preferably masters in their respective fields.
6. Refresher Courses: The Human of the bank should frequently conduct meaningful refresher courses, seminars and workshops with a view to improve the knowledge of the staff. Due to severe competition and technological developments, the banking business is experiencing rapid changes therefore the HRD should have arrangements for staff trainings to cope with the new changes that may become threats for the interest of the bank.
56
7. Computer Trainings: The present conventional training programs need to be made more comprehensive and reinforced with inclusion of computer training courses.
8. Training for Credit Management: Special trainings on credit management should be imparted to the finance dealing staff. Financing is main fountain banks income. Sound finance is extremely necessary for opening of springs of the smooth inflow of the income.
9. Training with Clear Objectives: Training needs assessment is necessary so that only the relevant staff is sent for the training courses.
10. Change in Appraisal System: The present performance appraisal system is good. However, it needs to be implemented in true sense. The drawbacks that are obvious like nepotism and favoritism etc. need to rooted out and the culture of ultimate meritocracy in appraising needs be inculcated.
11. Introduction of New Courses: The human recourses division of the bank should focus on the restoration of the corporate image of the bank by floating programs such as, marketing excellence, courses on corporate culture and others. It works as profit maximization devise. In my opinion the above two programs marketing excellence and corporate culture, added with the best counter service and outdoor informal relationship with the potential customers by the line managers will save the sum of money spent on various media of advertisement.
57
12. Customers Orientation: Every entrepreneur if concerned about the success of his business has to understand, recognize, carefully and appropriately that his customer is The King of the business system and the original spring of the business revenue. UBL needs to be provided the deserved respect, quality and in time service and to be politely dealt with. 13. Career Development: As a matter of personnel policy HRD of UBL should prepare a plan showing the future growth potential of employees on the job performance and evaluation and it should be made known to the employees. In this regard, employees should be given opportunities to show their performances, which would help in their career development.
b) Fake financial presentation

The bank should confirm that the provided figures by the borrowing organization are fairly audited and that the auditors are on the approved list of the bank and they have clear opinion about the affairs of company and nothing has been made secret. The bank should have expert to examine various changes and developments for years in areas of the borrowing corporation like; i. ii. iii. iv. Financial condition Cash generation Ability to pay back Operational performance
The focus should be on identifying and explaining significant changes and developments in payback of loans, profit maximization, capital flow and operating expenses etc. the bank should take critical view of the financial and should assess changes occurred during the favorable and slack reason for the company.
58
c)
Poor Management
A large number of industrial units and projects become sick because of poor management. When a business becomes sick or fails it is unable to return the loans, it has taken, and as a result such loans become bad debts. To avoid this, it is the responsibility of UBL, to ensure that the company to which loan is sanctioned enjoys good management skills and reputation. This can only be confirmed, if the bank assesses the management of the borrower party by taking care of i. Length and type of experience ii. Qualification and integrity iii. Reputation of managerial skills and style of management being used iv. SWOT analysis v. Financial procedures and documentation followed by employees vi. Span of authority and responsibility vii. Decision making skills of employees viii. Risk management of employees
d) Proper Documentation
Loans become irrecoverable through court of law in case of default when the bank fails to prove their claims against the delinquent borrower. If documents are obtained properly as per terms of the loan it is not difficult for the counsel of the bank to get decree against the defaulter. For proper and valid documentation the following aspects must be kept in mind. i. The bank should confirm that standard loan documentation is in place for each credit facility prior to disbursement. If the documents required are different from the banks standard approved format, arrangement for vetting of the legal counsel. ii. Bank should ensure that the documentation are correct, complete and correspond with the approved facilities. Also to ensure that blank spaces are filled, documents are dated, signed and stamped, the signer is authorized to execute such documents and signatures are verified.
59
iii. Keep track of expiry of borrowing documents, insurance policies etc and follow up for regulation of any approved documentation deferrals. iv. Maintain documentation checklist, updating it properly each time new
documentation received. v. Maintaining computerized record of documentation. vi. Division of documentation on the basis of sector, to which loan is given.
e) Securities
i. Physical verification of the property offered as a security is must rather to rely on the documents. Investigation should also be conducted if the property is of ancestral nature or joint property. ii. Maintain in safe custody all collateral i.e. shares, govt. securities, property title deeds, mortgage documents etc. iii. Bank must ensure receipt of periodical statements of stock and receivables from customers, as per frequency specified in the credit approval. iv. Bank should also do the periodic physical checking and evaluation of pledged inventories as per terms of the approvals, i.e. using applicable margins, such that the drawing power adequately covers out standings amount at all times. v. Bank officials must ensure that the goods hypothecated or pledged are covered through a valid insurance policy with appropriate risk coverage, adequately covering the banks amount. vi. Concerned bank staff should ensure compliance with the institutional credit policies and procedures as lay down in the policy book or credit manual and advised from time to time by the credit committee or top management. vii. Ensure compliance with local regulatory requirements. viii. Confirm timely submission of correct information in the prescribed format as may be required by the central bank.
