As a compulsory part of degree of master of commerce, I did my 6 weeks internship in a branch of MCB Bank Limited, located at Bank Square Gujranwala.

MCB Bank Limited (formally known as Muslim Commercial Bank) is one of the oldest and biggest banking company of Pakistan with a domestic network of over 1,130 branches and 600 ATMs across Pakistan with a customer base of 4.5 million (approximately).

Since the privatization of the bank, MCB has implement different policies to make it one of the best banks of Pakistan, which included introducing new products and services and increase its operations by opening new branches in Pakistan.

During the period of my internship at MCB, I did not find any problem in my learning process. Although there were some limitations but they were manageable. I learned the processes of remittances, account opening, ATM Card, dealing with information seeking customers, sending and receiving confirmation mail and different types of letters. I mainly worked in clearing and posting department most of the period of my internship. I also commented on daily high value transactions of the branch and prepared KYC forms and different debit and credit vouchers. Financial analysis and SWOT analysis of MCB are also included in this report. As a whole, it was quite a good and exciting learning and practical experience because it was my first time to having opportunity of learning in real business world and other than class rooms.

INTRODUCTION TO REPORT

INTERNSHIP REPORT

1.1: Introduction:
In this section a brief explanation of purpose of this report, sources and methods of information gathering, accounting and business techniques used in this report and limitation of information gathering and accounting and business techniques will be given.

1.2: Purpose:

This report is prepared in the result of internship done at a branch of MCB Bank Limited located at Bank Square Gujranwala. After completing four semesters of M.COM, a six weeks internship is a necessary part of the degree at any manufacturing or service organization.

Internship is indeed a first step into practical field and to work in real business settings. It gives opportunity to use and match the class room knowledge with practical skills and let the student do the research work himself while observing and understanding accounting, finance and management system of the organization. One of the useful objectives of the internship is to work with business professionals.

1.3: Sources and Methods of Collecting Information:

To make this report various sources of information are used. The most important sources of information is staff of branch and self collected data during the course of internship. Financial statements of MCB, website of MCB, different economic reports, press releases, articles, business record and different books of the course are some other names of sources of information used for making this internship report. Financial statements of MCB are collected from the website of MCB and different press releases and news reports are taken into consideration in order to have an understanding of situation of MCB

INTERNSHIP REPORT

in banking sector of Pakistan. Annual reports of three previous years of MCB are collected from the financial performance portion of the website of MCB and for the financial and ratio analysis business finance books and different business and information websites and a special lecture given by Sir Hafiz Imran Akram helped me to have a better understanding of analytical methods and to perform the report work in a better way.

1.4: Limitations of Information Gathering:

In large companies like MCB, the access to primary information is a point where different facts do matter like economical and social position of internee. Secrecy policies of bank, non-availability of information in a manner required for analysis are some of the limitations and due to work load on staff of the bank they have very small amount of time to proper assist. The availability of high speed internet connection is also necessary otherwise it seems near to very hard to complete this project in time.

1.5: Explanation of Accounting & Business Techniques and Limitations:


SWOT analysis and financial analysis are explained below:

1.5.1: SWOT Analysis:

SWOT analysis is a strategic planning method used to evaluate the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats involved in a project or in a business venture. It involves specifying the objective of the business venture or project and identifying the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable to achieve that objective. SWOT analysis groups the information into two main categories, internal analysis and external analysis.

UNIVERSITY OF PUNJAB, GUJRANWALA CAMPUS

INTERNSHIP REPORT

The internal analysis is a comprehensive evaluation of the internal environment's potential strengths and weaknesses. Factors should be evaluated across the organization in areas such as company culture, company image, key staff, access to natural resources, operational efficiency, operational capacity, brand awareness, market share, financial resources, patents and trade secrets etc.

External analysis covers the study of opportunities and threats in particular organization. Changes in the external environment may be related to customers, competitors, market trends, suppliers, partners, social changes, new technology, economic environment, political and regulatory environment etc.

1.5.2: Ratio Analysis:

Ratio Analysis enables the stakeholder to spot trends in a business and to compare its performance and condition with the average performance of similar businesses in the same industry. Ratio analysis may provide the all-important early warning indications that allow you to solve your business problems before your business is destroyed by them. Financial ratios are calculated from the annual financial reports of the particular company.

Financial ratio analysis groups the ratios into categories (solvency ratios, activity ratios, liquidity ratios, profitability ratios) which tell us about different facets of a company's finances and operations. Financial institutions such as banks, financial service companies, insurance companies, securities firms and credit unions have very different ways of reporting financial information, i.e. they use some specialized ratios like earning assets to total assets ratio, net margin to earning asset ratio, deposits times capital etc. Here earning assets are those assets which give markup.

INTERNSHIP REPORT

1.5.3: Trend Analysis:

In trend analysis there are two types of analysis are done which are:

1.5.3.1: Horizontal Analysis:

Horizontal analysis is a form of trend analysis. It uses the figures from a prior years income statement as the basis for calculating percentage increases and decreases over time. It is conducted by setting consecutive balance sheet, income statement or statement of cash flow side-by-side and reviewing changes in individual categories on a year-toyear or multiyear basis. A comparison of statements over several years reveals direction, speed and extent of a trend(s). The horizontal financial statements analysis is done by restating amount of each item or group of items as a percentage.

1.5.3.2: Vertical Analysis:

Vertical analysis examines relationships within a given year. To do this with the income statement, divide each line by the first item, net sales. Net sales are a summary measure of a firms total activities, so evaluating each income statement item relative to net sales makes sense. The result yields common-size income statements in percentage terms.

Bank deals in money and they are merely mobilizing funds within the economy. They borrow from one person and lend to another, the difference between the rate of borrowing lending forms their spread or gross profit. Therefore we can rightly state that deposits are the blood of the bank which causes the body of an institution to get to work. These deposits are liability of the bank so from point of view of bank we can refer to them as liabilities.

The total deposits of MCB are growing since its inauguration but after privatization there is a sharp incline in over all deposits of the bank. The increase in deposits is also a cause of increase on total number of accounts; bank has progressed in both aspects.

o Functions of Deposit Department:

Account Opening:

Account opening is an agreement in which customer offers his funds and bank accepts these funds, therefore the nature of relation between a banker and customer is of a contractual one and all the conditions applicable to this contract act are also applicable.

Profit Payment & Calculation:

Profit payment & calculation is done in accordance with the rules of each type of deposit scheme-by the deposit department. The products for each deposit scheme are calculated separately and added till the end of 6 month period.

The profit provisions for each type of deposits

A clearing house is a place where representative of all banks of the city get together and settle the receipts and payment of cheques drawn on each other. As the collecting banker runs certain risks in receipt of their ownership the law has provided certain protections to the banks.

The Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881, lays down hat drawer or holder of a cheque or draft may cross the instrument generally or specially. It further lies down that a crossed cheque can only be paid to a banker, who collects it for a customer in good faith and without negligence.

4.1: Work Done by Me:


Week wise work done by me is as follow:

4.1.1: First Week:

In joining week of my internship at MCB Bank Limited, Bank Square Gujranwala, I worked first 2 days under branch manager

He told me about high value transaction and how to comment on it. Explanation of high value transaction is as follow:

o High Value Transactions: All those transactions which are of 1 million or above 1 million are considered as high value transactions. According to the instructions of SBP, the record of daily high value transactions is kept separately and then bundled by months and years.

The branch manager has to comment on these transactions. The comment consists on following 3 parts:

Business of the customer Nature of the transaction Know your customer (KYC)

For example if there is a transaction that Bilal Velvet (a trader in Daal Bazaar) has deposited or withdrawn cash of 1 million the comment will be:

Trader of Velvet

UNIVERSITY OF PUNJAB, GUJRANWALA CAMPUS

INTERNSHIP REPORT

Sale/Purchase of Velvet Within Parameter

Similarly, if there is a transaction that Madina Traders (a sugar trader in Daal Bazaar) has deposited or withdrawn cash of 2 millions the comment will be:

Trader of Sugar Sale/Purchase of Sugar Within Parameter

Branch manager uses within parameter rather than writing KYC because he takes the responsibility to the extent of the dealing of the customer with bank.

He gave me the undone work of previous 6 months which I completed in 3 weeks.

In remaining days of the week I sat with the clearing person Mr. Afzal. He told me some basics about clearing procedure which is as follow:

o Clearing at MCB: MCB collects the cheques of its customers on behalf of them. If you have an account in MCB and your customer has given you cheque of another bank then you can give this cheque to MCB and MCB will collect it for you.

MCB divided cheques into three categories:

Intra City/Local Cheques Inter City Cheques Same Day Cheques

UNIVERSITY OF PUNJAB, GUJRANWALA CAMPUS

79

INTERNSHIP REPORT

Local cheques are those which are within city or with region. These cheques take usually 2 days in clearing process.

Inter city cheques are those which are of other cities or other regions. These cheques are sent to their particular cities.

Same day cheques are those which are of within city but these cheques are stamped as same day and these are passed on same day on which they are presented.

Some banks like Standard Chartered Bank, NIB Bank, Habib Metropolitan Bank passed inter city locally. Charges for inter city cheques are 250 rupees and local cheques are free. Cheque return charges are 300.

All cheques are sent via NIFT (National Institutional Facilitation Technologies). It performs the role of middle man between banks and state bank. It collects all the cheques from the banks and then sorts them and makes a list of it and forwards it t SB. After these cheques have been processed in SB, NIFTs agent takes it their head office and from where these cheques are sent to particular destination.

Every Morning Mr. Afzal posts the information of the slips of last days cheques which are handed over to the NIFTs agent on MCBs own developed software Branch Teller. At the closing time of bank when NIFTs agent come with the passed cheques and information and dishonored cheques, Mr. Afzal make of reversal of that posted slip.

Cheques which are of MCB and online fund transfer applications are also stamped at this seat and handed over to the posting person. A daily sheet of record of local cheques (account number, cheque number, bank name of cheque and amount) is made on excel sheet. Inter city and same day cheques are recorded in separate register.

I filled some forms for request of ATM issue and called those customers whose cards were ready but they did not collect. MCB charges 250 Rupees as issues fee and 250 as annual renewal.

4.1.6: Sixth Week:

In sixth week I started sitting with posting person who was responsible for posting the checques of MCB from one account to another account. All those cheques which are of MCB are transferred online by Mr. Noman. Online fund transfer applications are also posted by this person. Both cheques and applications are stamped at clearing seat and handed over to Mr. Noman. Difference between online fund transfer applications and cheques with deposit slips is that cheques are of other branches which are to be transferred in MCB, Bank Square branch accounts and online fund transfer applications are used to transfer money to account of another branch from the MCB, Bank Square.

He first checks the balance in account of cheque and then he makes verification about signatures, account number and account title from the branch teller software. If the payee party is trusted then he makes the transfer other wise he sends the cheques in clearing or sends fax or mail to particular branch of cheque. He gave me opportunity to post a couple of cheques under his care.

On the other hand I was doing my tasks at clearing seat. I went to head office of MCB with manager a couple of times where he took import forms. Sometimes I went with him to different customers for telling bank services and motivating them to open accounts and make deposits. I commented on high value transactions this week make some other debit voucher for expense.

5.3: Explanation of Results:

If we see towards the specialized ratios of MCB, then we come to know that MCB has very good earning assets to total assets ratios in recent years. It shows the efficiency of its management that it is putting its assets to work and making earnings. The efficiency of the banking firm is measured by its ability to utilize its assets in a manner that they could be profitable for the firm. Lendings, advances, investments are increasing every year.

UNIVERSITY OF PUNJAB, GUJRANWALA CAMPUS

93

INTERNSHIP REPORT

There is decrease in balance with other banks and that for there is a little decrease in the ratio in year 2010.

Return on earning asset is not quite good for MCB in recent years. Net profit is almost same in year 2007 to 2009 and there is a little increase in net profit due to higher markup and non markup interest income in 2010 and there for ratio is a point better than 2009. This ratio shows real profitability position of business and MCB has some good ratios.

Net margin to earning assets ratio shows the managements ability to control the spread between interest income and interest expense. There is mix trend in this ratio in recent years for MCB. In year 2008, MCB has some good earning assets but interest earned was not ideal due to slump period. In year 2009 ratio had increased in quite good way but in year 2010, ratio is little less than last year due to high interest expense but there is a good amount of interest earned so ratio is up to the mark.

Loan loss coverage ratio helps in determining the asset quality and the level of protection of loans. This Ratio is unfavorable for MCB in recent year because of increasing trend in bad debts. MCB has to reconsider its policies in order to correct this situation.

Deposit times capital ratio to some extent, is a type of debt/equity ratio, indicating a banks debt position. More capital greater margin of safety and more deposits more money available for investment. There is increasing trend in deposits every year which shows the trust of public in MCB. And there is almost same increasing trend in equity thus MCB is maintaining this ratio.

Loan to deposit ratio shows the assets available against deposited demand. MCB has good ratios but there is decreasing trend in recent year in this ratio. Because there is increasing trend in deposits and decreasing trend in loans (balance with other banks and lendings to financial institutes).

UNIVERSITY OF PUNJAB, GUJRANWALA CAMPUS

INTERNSHIP REPORT

Solvancy analysis gives not much favorable picture. Equity to total assets ratio measures the extent of equity ownership in the bank. MCB should increase this ratio for the wealth of shareholders. On the other hand debt ratios are also not favorable. Debts have been and investing in a company having higher debt ratios may be risky due to high amount of interest paying especially when interest rate is high.

MCB has good profitability ratios overall but as compare to 2009, these ratios are unfavorable having decreasing trend because of higher amount of bad debts and mark up and non markup interest expense.

MCB offers good opportunities for investors having good earning per share and dividend per share. Price to earning ratio is good which shows the good reputation of MCB in market. There is increasing trend market to book value ratio which shows that value of MCB in market is greater than value of MCB in its books which is favorable for MCB and it will motivate investors to invest in MCB. Dividend payout ratio is almost stable which shoes the solid dividend policy of MCB. The Dividend Yield ratio can be helpful when looking for income producing stocks, ratio has decreased in 2009 and 2010 as compare to 2008 but still it is useful for wealth of shareholders.

Horizontal analysis of balance sheet and income statement shows that MCB has increasing trends in incomes, profits and earning assets. Equity has also increasing trend which shows that MCB thinks for wealth of its shareholders and improving its policies every year. Vertical analysis shows the stability of MCB policies that it is marinating equity and assets position, and improving its net income every year with reference to markup interest.

Employees Dissatisfaction:

Most of the employees in MCB are dissatisfied due to low salaries as compared to same positions in other banks plus they are not satisfied with incentives given by MCB to them. They also complain about overload of work Thats why turn over rate at MCB is high.

Effect of Nationalization:

A large number of MCB employees are of that period when MCB was a nationalized bank. They are now unwilling to present like employees in other private banks. Their attitude is not much motivating for customers.

Lack of Training & Skills:

There is lack of training and skills in employees. MCB is not paying much attention to improve the abilities and skills of its employees according to modern banking requirements.

Lack of Advertisement:

MCB is one of most powerful banks of Pakistan and it can create more customers by advertising regularly about its products and services on proper media channels but due to lack of services MCB is missing this opportunity.

6.2.1: Opportunities:

Motivation:

MCB can motivate its customers by spreading information about social and cultural benefits of adopting its product and services and depositing their money in a bank like MCB.

Islamic Banking:

Islamic Banking is a growing concept and MCB can overcome this field by offering more attractive Islamic banking products and opening new Islamic banking branches.

Need of Every Business:

MCB can follow the modernization in banking business. It can avail more modern IT technology, it can offer micro financing to make low income people into customers, and it can apply more modern training programs for skills improvement.

UNIVERSITY OF PUNJAB, GUJRANWALA CAMPUS

99

INTERNSHIP REPORT

6.2.2: Threats:

Huge Competition:

Banking sector is growing but actually pretty much grown sector in Pakistan. This attracts businessmen to enter into banking business in Pakistan. Many private banks have come into establishment in recent years and many foreign banks have started their branches in Pakistan. They are equipped with latest banking knowledge and skills as well as modern technology. So MCB has to compete them with more and more effort.

Current Situation of Pakistan:

o Recent years were not good for Pakistan, because law and order situation left huge impacts on all businesses.

o Shortage of energy also indirectly affect banking sector because other businesses rely on it.

o Pakistan is an Islamic country and people here think that bank business is not halal so most of the time they avoid it.

Govt. Policies:

Government of Pakistan is making is huge borrowings from state bank as well as from commercial banks. This cause many banks to bankrupt when they have no actual money to give back to its depositors. Banks are merging into one another to keep their neck up in water.

RECOMMENDATIONS

101

INTERNSHIP REPORT

Motivation & Training Programs:

MCB should apply some serious motivation programs to its employees. Its employees seem to be dissatisfied from their jobs. They think that they are overloaded with work and pay is not up to the mark. MCB has to remove the gap between management and nonmanagement. Proper meetings should be arranged for this purpose, this will reduce their frustration.

It seem that MCB employees are hunted by lack of training, even they dont know properly about major running software called symbols branch teller. MCB should train them as all rounder bankers that they could perform more and more banking tasks. MCB should train them with modern banking policies and attitudes and enable them to run with modern concept of customer relationship. Employees should also be enable to work on modern machinery and remaining manual procedures should be converted to computerized systems as early as possible to increase efficiency, following survival of the fittest. They should be taught the concepts of team work and job rotation.

Using Proper Channels:

MCB should advertise its products and services using all popular and proper channels like TV and print media. Mere having a website is not enough plus MCB should consider on advertising its products in easily understandable way, because pure banking terms are not understand by common people. People even dont properly understand English so it is recommended that spreading should also be in popular languages. It will make ease to build relations in bank and general public.

UNIVERSITY OF PUNJAB, GUJRANWALA CAMPUS

102

INTERNSHIP REPORT

Islamic Banking:

In Islamic countries, a huge number of people avoid banking systems because they think that banking is totally based on interest system which is haram. So, now a days concept of Islamic banking is growing in muslim countries and capturing market. MCB should understand the future market of Islamic banking and should make policies for it.

Rewards & Promotions:

MCB should reconsider its rewards and promotion policies because their pay is not up to the mark in comparison of other banks. They should adopt performance based reward system along with seniority based reward system. This should encourage hard workers. Good salaries will help in reducing turnover and it will also attract trained professionals.

Customer Relationship Management:

MCB has weak customer relationship management policies. It is running on its brand name and old establishment. There is lack of innovation in MCB. So, MCB should think about it. It should think that how to secure future and how to retain and gain customers. In this age of huge competition customer now are enable to compare the services and products of one bank with another. Availability of information is also high so there is a strong need for MCB to improve its customer relationship policies that will help it to secure its future.

CONCLUSION

104

INTERNSHIP REPORT

At the end of this concluding this report Im feeling joy that with blessings of Allah, I finally completed by internship successfully and now I have made a report on it.

Internship at MCB Bank Limited, Bank Square was a pleasant experience. Most of the staff there was cooperative and they helped me in my leanings. I notice working at MCB that most of the MCB branches at those places where deposits come in huge amount and MCB has advantage of trust of people that its deposits are increasing every year.

MCB bank has a history as old as Pakistan and it is one of most powerful and largest banks of Pakistan. Huge number of branches in all over the Pakistan and largest ATM network plus strong financial and market position and a good brand name are some of the strengths of MCB. MCB has good financial ratios and increasing trends in profits, incomes, assets and equity, which shows the ever improving policies of MCB and thinking about wealth of its stakeholder.

MCB has good future in commercial banking with variety of products and services and it just need to improve its customer relationship management and it has to think seriously about Islamic banking plus MCB is facing some serious issues like high employee turn over because employees at MCB are less satisfied with their jobs and pays. So MCB has to apply some measures to overcome these problems as described in recommendation section that modern training and motivations programs should be applied at MCB.

I think I honestly did all my tasks during internship period which resulted in a very useful increase in my knowledge, experience and skills. I hope it will help me in future.
