1.1)

RATIONAL OF STUDY:The project undertaken is on Working Capital Management in Autoline Industries Limited.

It describes about how the company manages its working capital and the analysis of various parts of working capital of the company Cash is the lifeline of a company. If this lifeline deteriorates, so does the companys ability to fund operations, reinvest and meet capital requirements and payments. Understanding a companys cash flow health is essential to making investment decisions. A good way to judge a companys cash flow prospects is to look at its working capital management (WCM). Working capital refers to the cash a business requires for day-to-day operations or, more specifically, for financing the conversion of raw materials into finished goods, which levels of inventory, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. Analytical look at these items for signs of a companys efficiency and financial strength. The working capital is an important yardstick to measure the companys operational and financial efficiency. Any company should have a right amount of cash and lines of credit for its business needs at all times.

1.2)

INTRODUCTION TO THE TOPIC:In every business concern the capital plays a vital role, because it is time foundation stone of the

financial position of the company. For all business there are two types of capital required-

Fixed Capital This is an initial capital requirement for a very long period and it is represented by fixed Assets. Working/Floating CapitalThis is a floating capital requirement for day to day operation of the company like purchase of raw material, payment of wages, meeting the overheads, etc.

-5-

Working/Floating Capital Described as the life blood of the business enterprises Working Capital represents the capital

invested in Current Assets. Working Capital Management is concerned with the problems that arise in attempting to manage the

current assents, the current liabilities and the interrelationship that exist between them. The goal of Working Capital Management is to manage the firms current assets and liabilities in such a way that a satisfactory level of Working Capital is maintained.

2. INDUSTRY PROFILE
2.1 INDUSTRY SIZE:The total size of the Indian auto component industry is USD 14 billion, out of which USD 2.0 is direct export of components. The world production of auto components is expected to reach $ 1.7 trillion by 2015. It is estimated that about 700 billion worth of auto components would be sourced out from Low Cost Countries (LCCs) in the next 7-8 years. If India targets to get 10% share of this potential, it would mean USD 70 billion, nearly 5 times of the current size of the industry in India, giving a huge business opportunity for the Indian auto component & ancillary industry. The Indian auto component industry is highly fragmented in nature and has 416 players, employing 250,000 people. The output of the Indian auto component segment, as per ACMA, was estimated at around $5.1 billion (Rs 245 billion) in FY08.

2.2 GROWTH TRENDS:The auto components and ancillary sector are optimistic in achieving a 15-20 percent growth year-on-year, in the next five years due to the current buoyancy in the Indian automotive sector as well as major investment and expansion plans of automotive manufacturers globally. An auto ancillary company can generate revenues from two major sources, the first is from

-6-

supplies to OEM (original equipment manufacturers) and the second is through aftermarket sales.

2.3 MAJOR PLAYER AND THEIR MARKET SHARE:The following table lists the industry segmentation on the basis of components, their contribution to the overall industry revenues and some of the leading players in those segments.

2.4 GOVERNMENT POLICY AND SUPPORT:

Exalt the sector as a lever of industrial growth and employment and to achieve a high degree of value addition in the country.

-7-

Promote a globally competitive automotive industry and emerge as a global source for auto components. Establish an international hub for manufacturing small, affordable passenger cars and a key center for manufacturing Tractors and Two-wheelers in the world. Ensure a balanced transition to open trade at a minimal risk to the Indian economy and local industry. Conduce incessant modernization of the industry and facilitate indigenous design, research and development. Steer India's software industry into automotive technology. Assist development of vehicles propelled by alternate energy sources. Development of domestic safety and environmental standards at par with international standards. SIAM welcomed the announcement of Auto Policy, and feels that the policy would serve as a reference document for all stake holders and other interested parties. The Auto Policy has spelt out the direction of growth for the auto sector in India and addresses most concerns of the automobile sector, includingPromotion of R&D in the automotive sector to ensure continuous technology up gradation, building better designing capacities to remain competitive. Impetus to Alternative Fuel Vehicles through appropriate long term fiscal structure to facilitate their acceptance. Emphasis on low emission fuel auto technologies and availability of appropriate auto fuels and encouragement to construction of safer bus/truck bodies-subjecting unorganized sector also to 16% excise duty on body building activity as in case of OEMs. The policy has rightly recognized the need for modernizing the part profile of vehicles to arrest degradation of air quality. The terminal life policy for commercial vehicles and move toward international taxing policies linked to age of vehicles, are steps in the right direction. SIAM has always been advocating encouragement of value addition within the country against mere trading activity. However, this aspect has not been fully addressed. The Auto Policy allows automatic approval for foreign equity investment up to 100% in the automotive sector and does not lay down any minimum investment criteria. However, with the Auto Policy in place, the automotive industry would get further fillip to become vibrant and globally competitive. The industry would get the required support from

other Ministries and departments of Government of India in achieving the goals laid down in the auto policy.

5.2 METHODS & SOURCE OF DATA COLLECTION:The two main sources of data collection in research are,

Research Methodology

Primary Data

Secondary Data

1) PRIMARY DATA:-

Primary data are those which are collected fresh and for the first time, and thus happen to be original in character. Primary data is the information collected during the course of an experiment during experimental research. The collection of primary data requires deploying more manpower. It calls for greater planning and co-ordination. There are several methods of collecting primary data like, observation method, interview method, questionnaires etc. For this, prior study was important and I had to go through the various processes and Accounts Payable System of the company to get a proper idea about the actual process. The collection of primary data requires considerable time. In this research the Primary data were obtained by actual working with those managers who are involved in this process.

- 28 -

2) SECONDARY DATA:-

Secondary data means data that are already available i.e. they refer to the data which have already been collected and analyzed by someone else. It may be defined as data that has been collected earlier for some purpose other than the purpose of the present study. Secondary data is that, which has been used previously for any research & is now in use for the second time. Secondary data is already available in various Annual reports, diaries, letters, books, biographies, autobiographies, accounting & financial records etc. Thus, any data that is available prior to the commencement of the research project is secondary data, and therefore secondary data is also called as Historical Data.

6.1 INTRODUCTION OF ACCOUNTS PAYABLE:Accounts Payable is the money which a company owes to vendors for products and services purchased on credit. This is treated as a Current Liability on a Balance Sheet, since the expectation is that the liability will be fulfilled in less than a year. Account Payable is a file or account that a person or company owes to the suppliers, but has not yet paid. Thus a/c payable is a form of credit that suppliers offer to their purchaser by allowing them to pay for a product or service after it has already been received. When Accounts Payable is paid off, it represents cash out flow for the company. A/C Payable is divided into two parts:-

1.Accounts Payable (Materials):Accounts Payable (Material) process is very important.

Autoline, payments for over 200 different types of services are availed by various department or locations. Finance department processes the receipt of paper invoices from the services provider & certification by the agency availing the services.

6.1.1 INTRODUCTION OF ACCOUNTS PAYABLE SYSTEM

Account is formal record that represents in words, money or other unit of measurement, certain resources, claims to such resources, transactions or other events that result in changes to those resources and claims & Payable means amount owed to a creditor for delivered goods or completed services. Hence Accounts Payable means nothing but an expense that has been incurred but not yet paid. Accounts payable is a file or account that contains money that a person or company owes to suppliers, but has not paid yet (a form of debt). When you receive an invoice you add it to the file and then you remove it when you pay. Thus, accounts payable is a form of credit that suppliers offer to their purchasers by allowing them to pay for a product or service after it has already been received. The accounts payable process has a significant impact on the profits of a business.

6.1.2 MEANING AND DEFINITIONS OF ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

According to Financial Dictionary;
Money owed to suppliers An expense that has been incurred but not yet paid

According to Don Hofstrand, An amount owed to a supplier for goods or services purchased on credit; payment is due within a short time period, usually 30 days or less.

According to Berenson LLP Certified Public Accountants, Accounts Payable is the obligation that a business owes to its creditors for buying goods or services i.e. it is the unpaid invoices, bills or statements for goods or services rendered by outside contractors, vendors or suppliers. Accounts Payable is sometimes referred to as "Payables". Accounts Payable is also used to refer to the unit within an organization's accounting department that manages these payments. The Accounts Payable unit often oversees a variety of tasking which may include authorizing purchase orders, collecting credit card receipts, organizing account withdrawals, and keeping the general ledger, and auditing expense reports. Other accounting transactions that an organizations accounting department may manage include, accounts receivable which focuses on the billing of customers and payroll which focuses on paying the organization's employees. The job of the Accounts Payable administrator is a serious responsibility. Paying bills on time and according to the specific terms and conditions can affect company credit ratings and ultimately business relationships. Commonly, a supplier will ship a product, issue an invoice, and collect payment later, which creates a cash conversion cycle. A period of time during which the supplier has already paid for raw materials but hasn't been paid in return by the final customer. Certain companies, most famously Dell have been able to profit handsomely by reversing the conversion cycle. They
- 32 -

receive payment before they ship the product. Instead of granting credit to their customers, they receive it from them. The firm may delay payment for materials and production of sold output (sales). This will cause Accounts Payable (suppliers credit) to increase. Since Accounts Payable is included in expenses, they overstate actual cash payments. Thus, increase (or decrease) in Accounts Payable should be subtracted from (or added to) expenses for computing actual cash payments. The powerful Accounts Payable library of accounting and reporting features facilitates rapid entry of vendor invoices, flexible cash disbursement and full check reconciliation using Bank Services. Expense administration is usually closely related to Accounts Payable. Accounts Payable makes it easier to manage the detailed information that the company requires.

6.1.3 ROLE OF ACCOUNTS PAYABLE SYSTEM IN THE ORGANIZATION

The Accounts Payable system controls the disbursement of funds to outside organizations. As part of this process, it retains subsidiary ledger information for thousands of vendors and thus becomes a vital tool, providing management with an abundance of information relating to vendor activity. Effective and efficient Accounts Payable processing is important for several reasons:
1. The Accounts Payable system is one of the main sources of general ledger activity. 2. Because of the disbursement of funds, Accounts Payable is a likely place for fraud to occur. 3. The relationship between customer & supplier can be greatly influenced by the Accounts Payable services. 4. The nature of the Accounts Payable system makes it a prime target for periodic auditing.

The primary role of the Accounts Payable system is to process payments to vendors for both trade and administrative payables. In addition to this, most businesses use the system as a centralized disbursement system for paying other demands such as customer refunds or employee expense advances.

6.1.4 OBJECTIVES OF ACCOUNTS PAYABLE SYSTEM

The Accounts Payable process has a significant impact on the profits of a business. Companies spend huge amounts of money every year to process invoices, perform purchase order matching, address defects and respond to vendor inquiries. If the Accounts Payable system is not effective, a company has to bear the additional cost of late payment penalties, missed

- 34 -

discounts, duplicate payments and rework. With an increased focus on cost reduction and improved fiscal management, executive management teams are realizing the benefits of an effective Accounts Payable process. The Accounts Payable system is a totally integrated and consistent sub-system of the general ledger system.

1. Maintain good relationship with supplier: Flexibility is critical to meet the unique needs of the suppliers and Accounts Payable provides the tools to help to build and maintain efficient, personalized supplier partnerships. Whether a supplier prefers electronic funds transfers (EFTs), drafts or paper cheques. It supports individual payment terms and ensures the recognition of preferences. One can handle prepayment, specific information, and multicurrency payments requests and can also save time of the suppliers. 2. Establish Prompt and Efficient Invoice Processing: Accounts Payable has the flexibility to meet the unique business requirements, whether it is processing multiple recurring invoices or high-dollar prepayments. The system automatically calculates taxes, discounts, and currency conversions based on preconfigured specifications. This capability enables to take full advantage of discounts and make payments to the suppliers according to their terms without interrupting the Accounts Payable process. 3. Manage Cash Effectively: An effective cash management approach takes maximum advantage of discounts while maintaining suppliers preferred payment methods. Accounts Payable allows to consider a virtually unlimited number of variables before submitting payment to a supplier, including due date, discount offered and amount of cash on hand. Payment of vouchers, whether automatically or manually the result is always controlled, efficient and accurate. Accounts Payable handle the payments or selects vouchers for manual, split, or partial payments based on current cash requirements by organizing the vouchers. On a supplier-bysupplier basis, online inquires allows to review information quickly, such as balances
- 35 -

forward and open items, before authorizing payments. Accounts Payable provides timely and accurate information on cash flow, ageing information, and discount opportunities. Online access to real-time supplier information, payment history, and vouchers, enables to improve supplier relationships, negotiate better contracts and control cash flow.
