BriefHistoryofOrganization
Poverty has been steadily rising in Pakistan; the provision of financial services to the poor is an important component of the governments poverty alleviation program. The Aga Khan Rural Support Programmers (AKRSP) highly successful micro credit and savings initiative has been serving some of the countrys poorest populations since 1982. Since 1990, the AKDN was trying to institutionalize this program; however there was no regulatory ordinance under which the entity could be created. Perseverance paid off and a new ordinance was promulgated in October 2001 to promote the provision of the Microfinance by private sector institutions. It is in this context that the Aga Khan Development Network has established The First Micro Finance Bank Ltd as a way forward to provide an array of financial services to the neglected segments of society across Pakistan by expanding the scope and product range of a micro-credit program.

Recommendation & Suggestion


Marketing: Brochures, handouts, pamphlets and other printed reports must be provided to customers, which should provide all the information necessary to attract and retain customers and to satisfy the customers need for more Personal contacts with the customers can help in providing information to customers. All the customers must be provided a chance to get the desired information by personal contact with the Bank staff. Customer Relationship: Complaint and suggestion box should be maintained at the door of the Bank where the customers can point out drawbacks in the customers services and put forward their suggestions on his improvement of the services quality of the Bank. Financial Methodology: Banks need to acquire an appropriate financial methodology to service the micro- enterprise sector financial innovations that permit a cost-effective analysis of creditworthiness, the monitoring of a large number of relatively poor clients, and the adoption of effective collateral substitutes. Cost-effectiveness: The First Micro Finance lending program is costly because of the small size of their loans and because banks cannot operate them with their traditional mechanisms and overhead structures, so I recommend that bank adopt cost effective strategy. Micro-deposits: The First Micro Finance Bank relatively little about deposit mobilization methodologies that reach the low income and micro-enterprise client. I recommend following activity for deposit mobilization: Open Liquid passbook savings accounts and low minimum balances. Depositories conveniently located

Real, positive interest rates on deposits Incentive for saving such as lotteries Diversification The First Micro Finance Bank should diversify its portfolio into housing, health, education, transport and security products. Capital Market The First Microfinance Bank is still in earlier stage of its development, and the financial sustainability is also not satisfactory. In such situation, I recommend that bank raise funds at economical cost either through debt or equity instruments of capital markets. Job Training: Although the bank is providing on job training to the fresh employees but bank should organize seminars and other behavioral classes to its employees to increase the effectiveness of the organization

Learning Outcomes:
Here I have got a chance to conclude what I have learnt during my internship and while preparing this report. It was a nice experience working in a real environment and I was quite excited for it. I have tried to learn whatever I could, including Audit reports and procedure of getting all the information about the report. How to observe and analyze the documents, vouchers, reposts made by the different departments and check their perfections. I have assist in working of risk rating sheets and observation follow ups and go through the audit reports of different branches, by them I learn what is the reason of carelessness of employees and what are the mistakes and frauds can be done in financial reports and banking sectors Overall it was a nice experience and FMFB as an organization is certainly at a higher position in micro finance banking sector. Their financial highlight shows us its growth in very less time and future prospects. With all the strengths FMFB own there are certain threats as well which FMFB should address to avoid any downfall and keep its position. Office grade employees in FMFB are not well paid and dissatisfied with their jobs but one thing I felt was very good environment for women and no gender discrimination. Work experience is an important factor in any organization and promotions, bonuses and increments are work based. But in FMFB I found a bit of discrimination with low grade employees and ones who dont possess a relevant degree are neglected irrespective of the plenty of work experience. There are also some conflicts of hiring because of their Ismaili religion, well it is only my observation.

Conclusion:
During my internship in First Micro Finance Bank, I came to know that how practically the work is done in formal as well as informal environment. FMFB is now growing rapidly and achieving its targets on time. The management plays a vital role in conducting all sorts of operations. The organization is working efficiently and effectively.
