Punjab Chowk Mansehra. It is not an incredibly big branch except merely a minute retail branch of huge
giants. First day, I reported to the manager of the branch Mr. Imdad Khan Jadoon who gave me concise
introduction concerning the management and working of the branch, he too check my understanding about
banking by taking a slight test and interview. Then he introduced me to the other employees. MANAGEMENT
OF BRANCH DESIGNATION NO OF EMPLOYEES Branch Manger 01 Operation Manager 01 Credit
Manager 01 Account Officer 01 Car Officer 01 Assistants 02 Cashier 04 IT Officer 01 Telephone Operator
01 Gun Man 03 Peons 03 Table 3.3: Management of Branch From A/c Opening Department This Branch is
having about 2000 accounts but there was only one officer, Miss. Sobia to handle this tough work. He has to
deal different people. My experience in this department was really very good. I learnt how to handle different
customers, how to fill Account Opening Form, what are the required documents that should be with you in
order to open an account, what types of account Bank Alfalah is offering to the customers, what are the
facilities that an account Holder can enjoy and what are the profit rates Bank Alfalah is giving to its
customers. I have learnt the course of action related to an Account Opening Officer has to follow in order to
open and maintain an Account. From Accounts & Finance Department There were two officers in this
department; Mr. Shakeel Ahmad and Mr. Ikram They have divided their work between them. Mr. Shakeel
handles Reporting and Mr. Ikram handles daily activity checking. I used to help Mr. Ikram in Daily Activity
checking, sorting and counting of vouchers and how to calculate the deprecations of all fixed assets. I learnt
from Mr. Shakeel the items of the Balance Sheet of Bank and saw the format of different reports. He helped
me to understand his work. He told me about the reports that he has to prepare & the purpose of those
reports. It was one of those Departments in which Customer interaction is not involve rather paper
interaction is important. In Home Finance there was one officer Mr. Jawad Maqbool I saw few customers in
this department. I learnt what the debt to equity ratio is in Home Finance, how to calculate installment, what
are the documents required to get this product, what the eligible criterion is for Home Finance Agreement,
and what is the procedure and activities of this department. What are requirement to apply for this Finance,
what is that maximum limit. From the Car Finance Department One officer in this department, whose name
was Mr. Abbas used to sit the second floor of the branch. Although the Mansehra Branch was small but still
the demand for financed cars through Bank Alfalah lead this department to prosperity. This department
handles a large number of customers daily and, without overstatement; this department is the third busiest
department after the Account Opening Department. It requires constant customer interaction and requires
high level of intelligence to screen the validity of the customers. Whereas sound marketing skills are
required to actually force the walk-in customer to select Alfalah Car Financing, still stronger skills are needed
to scan the incoming customer for validity. I learnt how to face the customers conveniently, how roper files
should be maintained, how to apply for a car, what are requirement to apply for this Product, what is that
maximum limit, what is the procedure to this department. CHAPTER 04 FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF BANK

part of this report, hence due care has been taken to give true picture of the bank. Financial analysis is an
evaluation of a firms past financial performance and its prospects for the future. It consists of applying
analytical tools and other relevant data to obtain useful information. It
3helps 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 financial
statements but the focus of interest of all is not the same.
Keeping in view its importance I have addressed financial analysis by using the Bank Alfalah financial
statements, their common, index, trend and ratio analysis. 4.2
3.1 Common Size (Vertical) Analysis of Balance Sheet Common size
statements can be
3extremely helpful to highlight changes over time in the financial
performance and financial conditions of a company. In common size
(vertical) analysis of balance sheet, the
total assets is divided by
3all balance sheet items of assets side and total credit side balance is divided
17 of 25 20-Jun-14 6:18 PM
by all liability items.
The
3table shows a common size (vertical) analysis of the balance
sheet of Bank Alfalah for the years ended; 2011, 2012 and 2013. The common size analysis shows that
there has been slight decrease in the cash & its equivalents, continuous growth can be seen in investments
and balances with other financial institutions. The advances to customers have been remained the same.
And the fixed assets is decreased with time,
3this implies that the bank is concentrating now more on non-interest
income. The
bank is continuously declining its operating fixed assets. On the liability side, current liabilities have been
increased with time from 2011 to 2013. In comparison with total liabilities the total equity has been
increased in 2012 and then slightly decreased in 2013. The change is reflected by the change in share
capital. Vertical Analysis of Bank Alfalah Balance Sheets 2011 2012 2013 Assets Common Size (%) Cash

3Common Size (Horizontal) Analysis of Balance Sheet& Income Statement
Horizontal analysis is also called index analysis
in which we compute the items of recent year balance sheets and income statements with one of the
previous year which we take as a base year. In this way, we check the trend of assets, liabilities, owner
equity, profit before taxation, tax, profit after tax, net income etc and their different components individually,
whether they are increasing or decreasing. Common size (horizontal) analysis of balance sheet overall
shows increasing trend while in income statement some of the components shows decreasing trend. The
total assets of Bank Alfalah have been increased to about 114% in 2012 and 130% in 2013 from 100% in
2011, which was also a major growth. Liabilities are also expanded to 114% in 2012 and 130% in 2013.
There is also a larger increase in total equity of 114% in 2012, while 130% in 2013 it has increase the same
18 of 25 20-Jun-14 6:18 PM
as the assets and the liabilities which shows that the Bank is having a very good control on its financials. In
the profit and loss statement, the mark-up / interest income shows a huge growth in 2012 up to 104% while it
has a decrease in 2013 as it reaches to 99%. In 2012, non mark-up expenses has increased to 107% and
then has a little decline to 105% in 2013. So the gross profit has fallen in 2012 to 99% and to 90% in 2013.
Similarly the net income is showing huge increase in 2012 to 130% and in 2013 it decline to 78%. Common
size (horizontal) analysis of Bank Alfalah shows that the Bank is growing its assets and operations day by
day. The decline in profit is mainly due to increase in administrative expenses which are resulted from the
rapid increase in number of its branches. Horizontal Analysis of Bank Alfalah Balance Sheet 2011 2012

categories according to the information they provide. 4.3.1 Profitability Ratios Profitability ratios show the
business's
4ability to generate earnings as compared to its expenses and other
relevant costs incurred during a specific period of time.
For most of these ratios,

competitor's ratio or the same ratio from
4a previous period is indicative that the company is doing well. 1.

assets such as investment, securities and advances in relation to total assets. It is a key indicator of
continued earnings ability. Earning Assets to Total Assets = Earning Assets Total Assets Earning Assets to
Total Assets (2011) = Earning Assets to Total Assets (2012) = Earning Assets to Total Assets (2013) =
372,765,687 x 100 468,173,802 424,296,990 x 100 536,466,694 482,992,241 x 100 610,614,291 = = =
79.62% 79.09% 79.09% Interpretation The BAL earning assets to total assets is slightly declined in 2012
but in 2013 it has been maintained. Still the Bank Alfalah earning assets ratio is high which shows good
position, better performance and efficiency of the management.

a business's financial health. It shows how efficiently a business is using its resources and workforce in
different processes and gives an indication of cost structure, and production efficiency of business. Gross

Profit Margin = Gross Profit Margin (2011) = Gross Profit Margin (2012) = Gross Profit Margin (2013) =
Revenues Expenses Revenues 44,298,178 39,296,716 x 100 = 44,298,178 46,079,918 -- 38,864,460
x 100 = 46,079,918 43,961,060 -- 37,153,849 x 100 = 43,961,060 11.06% 15.65% 15% Interpretation The
gross profit margin of Bank Alfalah is low in 2011. But in the later years the company recovers itself and
maintains a steady gross profit margin ratio which is good for the Bank. The smaller Gross profit margin in
start is due to the rapid expansion policy of the Bank. 3. Cost to Income Ratio It shows a company's costs in
relation to its income. The ratio gives investors a clear view of how efficiently the firm is being run. It
indicates how cost and income changes along each other. Bad debts are not included in cost. Cost to

12,747,785_ x 100 = 90% 14,122,586 Interpretation As compared to 2011, the cost to income ratio has
been increased in 2012 which shows a negative picture and inefficiency of the bank. In comparison with
income the expenses has increased more. 2013 ratio shows very slight improvement and profitability in
operations of the bank. 4. Return on Average Equity (ROE) Return on equity measures profitability by
revealing how much profit an organization generates with the money shareholders have invested.
Calculations for three years return on equity of Bank Alfalah are as follows; Return on Equity = Return on

Equity 3,503,130_ x 100 = 13,491,563 4,556,121__ x 100 = 13,491,563 4,675,950_ x 100 = 13,491,563
25.96% 33.77% 34.65% Interpretation The ratio is lower in 2011 and is increasing with time in both the
preceding years. This shows that the firm is much capable of generating money internally. Due to this the
share holder's trust on the Bank will be increasing. 5. Return on Assets (ROA) Return on Assets
demonstrates how much income management has been able to produce using companys assets effectively.
For this reason, investors often use this ratio to evaluate companys management. Return on Assets = Net

Assets (2012) = Return on Assets (2013) = 4,556,121__ x 100 = 0.849% 536,466,694 4,675,950__ x 100
= 0.7657% 610,614,291 Interpretation The ROA ratio when compared with 2011 increased in 2012 and then
goes slightly down to the same level as of 2011 in 2013. This shows that the company is having a loss
control on its assets to generate returns. 4.3.2 Efficiency Ratios These ratios look at the internal workings
of the firm. They measure the efficiency with which the business manages its resources and improvements
in these ratios usually translate improved profitability of the organization. 1. Interest Income per Employee

earning a huge interest per employee. 2. Profit per Employee Profit per Employee = Profit after Taxation__
Total no of Employees Profit per Employee (2011) = 3,503,130 = 462.15 (In 000) 7,580 Profit per Employee

main reason behind that is the decreasing number of employee's every year and the good performance of
the existent employees. 3. Business per Branch Business per Branch = Total Business of BAL Number of

Interpretation The business of Bank Alfalah is decreasing every year this is because of the philosophy of the
21 of 25 20-Jun-14 6:18 PM
bank. The bank wants to increase its number of branches in the country. Due to rapid growth in the number
of branches the business per branch declines. 4. Business per Employee Business per Employee = Total

= 13 Employees 574 Interpretation The numbers of employees per branch are more in 2011, which
significantly declined in 2012, and again slightly declined in 2013. The reason for that may be opening of

Bank Alfalah is good as current assets are slightly more than the current liabilities and it also meets the SBP
requirement which is 1:1. It gives picture of no liquidity problem with the Bank Alfalah. 2. Cash Ratio It is the
conservative liquidity ratio. The best indicator of companys short-run liquidity may be cash ratio. Cash
ratios of Bank Alfalah for previous three years are as follows: Cash Ratio = Cash + Marketable Securities

58,044,054 + 26,720,993_ = 486,777,467 Cash Ratio (2013) = 61,204,697 + 35,179,983_ = 558,184,352
0.138 0.174 0.172 Interpretation The cash ratio is more in 2012 and 2013 then as compared to 2011; it is
good because too low cash ratio could arise an immediate problem with paying bills and other sudden
current liabilities. The cash ratio of Bank Alfalah shows that it is using cash to its best advantages and bank
operations. 3.
3Advances to Deposit Ratio This ratio compares the advances
given by bank to customers and the deposits of customers with the bank. As the main source of income for
bank is the difference between their interests so it is an important ratio. Advances to Deposit Ratio =
Advances x 100 Deposit Advances to Deposit Ratio (2011) = 198,468,512 x 100 = 401,247,886 Advances
to Deposit Ratio (2012) = 233,933,358 x 100 = 457,118,723 Advances to Deposit Ratio (2013) =

506,219,292 x 100 536,466,694 Debt-to-Total Asset Ratio (2013) = 578,712,547 x 100 610,614,291 = = =
94.5% 94.36% 95% Interpretation The higher the debt-to-total asset ratio; the greater the level of financial
risk, the lower this ratio; the lower the financial risk. This ratio has slightly lower in 2011 & 2012. It means in
2011 and 2012, 94% of the assets were financed by debt while in 2013 95% of the assets were financed by
debts. From the perspective of long term debt-paying ability, the lower this ratio the better is the companys
position. 2.
4Debt-to-Equity Ratio This shows the extent to which the firm is financed
for ongoing operations by borrowings and by the
shareholders
4equity. The debt-to-equity ratio
also helps determining how well creditors are protected in case insolvency. Debt ratio of Bank Alfalah for
past three years is; Debt-to-Equity Ratio = Total Debt__ Total Equity Debt-to-Equity Ratio (2011) =
4Debt-to-Equity Ratio (2012) = Debt-to-Equity Ratio
(2013) = 442,396,764 = 25,777,038 506,219,292 = 30,247,402 578,712,547 = 31,901,744 17.16 16.73 18
Interpretation The ratio has been decreased in 2012 but then again slightly increased in 2013. In 2013, it
shows that creditors are providing Rs. 10 of financing for each Rs. 1 being provided by shareholders. The
lower the ratio, the higher the level of the firms financing that is being provided by shareholders and the
larger the creditor cushion (margin of protection) in the event of shrinking asset value. The Bank Alfalah still
needs to decrease this value further. 4.4 SWOT Analysis This SWOT analysis of Bank Alfalah Limited takes

CONCLUSION The six weeks used at Bank Alfalah Limited, Mansehra extension were, probably a wellspring
of incredible learning for me around a great deal of things especially working in bank's climate. It is my first
encounter to work basically in some association. This reasonable preparing project did not just help me
acquire heaps of information about the transcendent capacities performed by keeping money organizations,
additionally conferred a ton of preparing as respects the set of behavioral qualities which recognize a
specific individual from whatever is left of the parcel in a the earth. ? During my internship I inferred that
presently bank Alfalah has a high piece of the overall industry and is not confronting any sort of danger. ?
Due to amazingly prepared proficient it is utilized to fabricate advancement jumps and bound. ? The real
destination of bank is to set up solid association with the clients and make them accept that bank Alfalah is
ideal for them by giving successful and productive administrations. ? It has likewise delivered a
well-assembled goodwill and confide in the business. ? At this point it is critical to compose an expression of
appreciation for the establishment, which makes it sure, that all the scholars get an experience to
commonsense life in generally overall presumed associations. ? I must underscore the way that written work
this internship report was an equitably critical encounter as really doing the internship. I genuinely attempted
my level best to concoct unique bit of composing that could serve as a vivid verification of the way that
understudies at COMSATS. 5.2 RECOMMENDATIONS Based on my six weeks stay with BAL Mansehra
main branch, I would like to give a number of suggestions for the improvement in its operations as under: ?
Gainfulness proportions demonstrates great execution of the Bank Alfalah utilizing its assets, in spite of the
fact that the benefit has been fallen persistently that may be because of its fast development arrange or
blend of items and administrations with low overall revenue. The working costs are prone to proceed the
upward pattern as the Bank arrangements to grow its system further. Bank need to keep control on its costs
side by side and ought to look for ease financing to show build in benefits. ? In spite of the fact that Bank
Alfalah has expanded its stores persistently throughout the previous years however its developments
shows huge abatement in examination with its stores and past execution. Bank continually needs to
concentrate on its developments this will help to build the imprint up income. ? As Bank Alfalah does not offer
the credit office to recently create organizations on the grounds that its the BAL strategy that it will advance
just to those individuals who are running their organizations from 3 years. Bank ought to consider this range
and attempt to give credit office to new organizations through fitting game plans to secure them. It will signify
developments of the Bank. ? The bring down the proportion, the higher the level of the company's financing
that is constantly given by shareholders and the bigger the lender pad (edge of assurance). The Bank Alfalah
24 of 25 20-Jun-14 6:18 PM
still needs to decline the quality further by bringing down the obligations. ? Administration has not had the
capacity to deliver sufficient return utilizing organization's benefits successfully. Bank Alfalah is presently
winning less with more financing in stakes as contrasted with past and it additionally indicates wasteful
utilization of organization possessions. Stakes & Liabilities Management Committee need to concentrate on
that issue. ? Bank Alfalah Limited ought to extend its limbs in Pakistan as well as outside the nation. It has
few abroad limbs yet it ought to stretch further. By opening extensions abroad, the bank can extend its
mindset; it will pick up notoriety and would have a chance to redesign its items and administrations as per
the universal guidelines. ? The method of opening a record ought to be improved. The record opening
structure ought to act naturally illustrative and incorporate interpretation in Urdu for those clients who are not
taught, since the truth can't be disregarded that numerous individuals don't have a decent understanding of
English. ? The individuals who stores a lot of cash or are old clients of the Bank with great fiscal conditions
ought to be surrender free credit lines to a certain utmost. Additionally, monetary advices ought to be given
to clients in the event that there is a change in the business sector drift before they look for it. ?
Participative administration idea ought to be embraced where for creating items as well as on administration,
thoughts from the representatives ought to be taken, build productivity and worker confidence and so forth,
to enhance them. ? The amount of Fax machines and photocopying machine in the bank are likewise short
of what they are needed. For photocopying reason one need to go upstairs. So more machines are obliged
and likewise their circumstance ought to be at the exact spot. ? BAL ought to present all the more preparing
projects for their specialists. It would help less accomplished and less instructed staff to develop and be a
significant a piece of the bank. REFERENCES ? David, R. E, (1998) (7TH Edition), Strategic Management
