Executive Summary
I have selected Gujranwala Chamber of Commerce & Industry (GCCI) organization.
All the companies or businesses in Gujranwala are members of GCCI. The GCCI can issue
Membership or Measurement Certificates as well as Certificates of Origin for the export
cargoes and attestation of commercial documents. GCCI also issues recommendation letters

I have learned a lot from this organization. I have done my work of internship in R &
D Cell for first three weeks, one week in Membership department, one in Accounting & last
one in Computer cell. Everyone in these departments has supported me, in order to collect
important information required for this report. Whenever I go, they received me with warm
welcome and helped us in all matters. Their cooperation provided me comfortable
environment for data collection. I have conducted face to face interviews with staff
members. I have also observed the whole organizational environment.
I have felt many discrepancies, like non segregation of duties, dose not have required
staff & faced many other challenges in the industrial sector due to energy crisis, political &
other challenges which become the grater hurdle in the way to promote the industries
smoothly. I concluded from my internship that GCCI is running as a good organization and
has solid records throughout its life period & providing many benefits to its employees. To

overcome the discrepancies, I recommended to the GCCI management to segregate the
duties, hire the required staff & introducing new departments.

Financial Analysis
Financial Analysis means Financial Statement Analysis. Financial statement analysis
is basically is the process of examining relationships among financial statement elements and
making comparisons with relevant information. It is a valuable tool used by the users of
Financial Statements like, investors and creditors, financial analysts, and others in their
decision-making processes related to stocks, bonds, and other financial instruments. The goal
in analyzing financial statements is to assess past performance & current financial position
and to make predictions about the future performance of a company.
Different users like, Investors who buy stock are primarily interested in a company's
profitability and their prospects for earning a return on their investment by receiving
dividends and/or increasing the market value of their stock holdings. Creditors and investors
who buy debt securities, such as bonds, are more interested in liquidity and solvency: the
company's short-and long-run ability to pay its debts. Financial analysts, who frequently
specialize in following certain industries, routinely assess the profitability, liquidity, and
solvency of companies in order to make recommendations about the purchase or sale of
securities, such as stocks and bonds.
Analysts can obtain useful information by comparing a company's most recent

financial statements with its results in previous years and with the results of other companies
in the same industry.

for several years. It is used to evaluate the trend in accounts over the years. This analysis
considers changes in items of financial statement from a base year to the following years to
show the direction of change. This is also called “Dynamic Analysis”, as it based on data
from year to year rather than data of one year. In this, the figures of various years are placed

side by side in years are placed side by side in adjacent columns in the form of comparative
financial statements.

Interpretation Statement of Financial Positions:
The Horizontal analysis of 2009-08 is compared to the previous year’s figures. As the
total non current assets are significantly increase by 58.4% as compared (3.27%) of GCCI
but Cash & Bank balances of the GCCI are significantly decreased by 63.05% as compared
to 5.27% of the 2007-08 comparison & The current assets are decreased by 36.38% as
compared to positive 6.34%. The overall total assets of the GCCI are also decreased in 2008-
09 as compared to previous year.
The Capital fund which is funds used for all the purposes of GCCI is also reduced by
9.13% as compared to the previous year which is 3.58% positive. The Liabilities of the
GCCI is also increased significantly increased by 48.68% as compared to 17.15%. So, the

more significant fluctuations in 2009-08 show that the performance of this is very poor as

Interpretation Statement of Financial Performance:
The Horizontal Analysis of the statement of finical performance of 2009-08 is poor

as compared to the figures of 2008-07. As the income in this year is decrease, as compared to
previous year (2.90%) as compared to 4.08%. the administrative expenses of 2009-08 is
significantly increase as compared to the year 2008-07. The total capital fund of GCCI is
also decrease by (9.04%) which is positive 10.75%. this is not a good sign the funds of the
GCCI is reduced, this can create a greater trouble for GCCI, if these are not increase in the
next year.
Vertical Analysis:
Vertical Analysis refers to the study of relationship of various items in the financial
statement of one accounting period. It means an analysis that displays all items as
percentages of a common base figure like Sales in Income Statement & Total Assets in
Balance Sheet. All other accounts on the financial statement are compared
to it. In the balance sheet, for example, total assets equal 100%. Each
asset is stated as a percentage of total assets. Similarly, total liabilities
and stockholders' equity are assigned 100% with a given liability or
equity account stated as a percentage of the total liabilities and
stockholders' equity. For the income statement, 100% is assigned to net
sales with all revenue and expense accounts related to it. .
This is also called “Static Analysis”, as it based on data of one year only rather than
data from year to year. Under vertical analysis, the statements showing the
percentages are referred to as Common Size Financial Statements.

to 44.47% of the 20008 comparison & the current assets are decreased by 49.21% as
compared to positive 70.71% which is increase from previous year but great fall again. The
overall total assets of the GCCI are also decreased in 2008-09 as compared to previous year.
The Capital fund which is funds used for all the purposes of GCCI is also reduced by
98.46% as compared to the previous year which is 99.05% positive. The Liabilities of the
GCCI is also increased significantly increased by 1.54% as compared to 0.94%. So, the more
significant fluctuations in 2009show that the performance of this is very poor as compared to
last year.

Interpretation Statement of Financial Performance:
The Vertical Analysis of the statement of finical performance of 2009, 2008 is poor
as compared to the figures of 2007. The administrative expense of GCCI is significantly
increase as compared to the year 2007 in 2009 & goes to 119.91% increase from 87.46%.
The total capital fund of GCCI is also decrease by 200.11% which is 213.82% in the last
year & 214.85 in 2007. This is not a good sign the funds of the GCCI is reduced, this can
create a greater trouble for GCCI, if these are not increase in the next year.
Ratio Analysis:
Financial Ratios are like financial temperatures, which give the state of the health of a
business. This analysis technique is most widely used. It is the only mean of better
understanding of Financial Strength & Weakness. It can be divided in different Categories
like;
 Liquidity Ratios
 Activity Ratios
 Debt Ratios
 Profitability Ratios
 Market Value Ratio
Liquidity Ratios:
Liquidity Ratios are used to measure a firm’s ability to meet short-term obligations.
They compare short-term obligations to short-term (or current) resources available to meet
these obligations. From these ratios, much insight can be obtained into the present cash
solvency of the firm and the firm’s ability to remain solvent in the event of adversity.
Under this, I calculate following Ratios of Gujranwala Chamber of Commerce &

Industry;

Current Ratio:
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
For 2009 Current Ratio = 10,313,122.39 / 321,770.00 = 32.05
For 2008 Current Ratio = 16,211,416.43 / 216,424.00 = 74.91
For 2007Current Ratio = 15,244,888.10 / 261,228.00 = 58.36
Interpretation:
The rule of thumb is 2:1, as in 2009 company has Rs/32.05 to pay its Rs.1 liability
however the company has Rs/74.91 & Rs/58.36 in 2008 & 2007. As it is reduce as compared
to previous years, it is unfavorable for GCCI.
Absolute Quick Ratio:
Absolute Quick Ratio = Absolute Liquid Assets / Current Liabilities
Absolute Liquid Assets = Cash & Bank Balances
For 2009 Absolute Quick Ratio = 9,685,505.10 / 321,770.00 = 11.71
For 2008 Absolute Quick Ratio = 10,195,760.82 / 216,424.00 =47.11
For 2007 Absolute Quick Ratio = 3,767,717.39 / 261,228.00 = 37.08
Interpretation:
The Absolute Quick Ratio of GCCI is 11.71 in 2009 which is significantly decreased
from the previous years, as in previous it is 47.11 & 37.08 in 2008 & 2007 respectively. It is
also unfavorable of GCCI.

Activity Ratios:
Activity ratios are calculated to measure the efficiency with which the resources of
the firm have been employed. These ratios are also called “TUROVER RATIOS”
because these ratios indicate the speed with which assets are being turned over into sales.
Following ratios are calculated under this head of GCCI;
 Debtor Turnover
 Average Collection Period
 Total Assets Turnover
 Non Current Assets Turnover
 Current Assets Turnover
Debtor Turnover:
Debtor Turnover = Sales or Income / Average Receivables
For 2009 Debtor Turnover Ratio = 10,311,977.68 / 1,771,603.00 = 5.82 times
For 2008Debtor Turnover Ratio = 10,620,421.88 /1,965,275.00 =5.40 times
For 2007 Debtor Turnover Ratio = 10,204,376.00 / 1,915,978.39 = 5.33 times
Interpretation:
The Debtor Turnover Ratio of GCCI is increased in 2009 which is 5.82 times as
compared to previous years, which are 5.40 times & 5.33 times in the 2008 &2007
respectively.
Average collection period:
Average collection period = No. of days in Year / Debtor Turnover
For 2009 Average collection period = 360 / 5.82 = 62 days

For 2008 Average collection period = 360 / 5.40 =67 days
For 2007 Average collection period = 360 / 5.33 = 68 days
Interpretation:
The average collection period shows after how many days the company accounts
receivables convert into cash. The current results shows that company has improved as in
current year average collection period is 62 days which are less then previous years figures
of 67 days in 2008 & 68 days in 2007.
Total asset turnover:
Total asset turnover = sales / total assets
For 2009 Total Assets Turnover Ratio = 10,311,977.68 / 20,956,963.62 = 0.49 times
For 2008 Total Assets Turnover Ratio = 10,620,421.88 /22,925,068.63 =0.46 times
For 2007 Total Assets Ratio = 10,204,376.00 / 22,185,633.32 = 0.46 times
Interpretation:
In 2009 the company has a healthy turnover of assets into sales, show the
management efficiency to convert its total assets into sales. In 2009 it is 0.49 times as
compared to 0.46 times of both 2008 & 2007.
Non Current asset turnover:
Non Current asset turnover = sales / non current assets
2009 Non Current asset Turnover Ratio = 10,311,977.68 / 10,643,841.23 = 0.97 times 2008
Non Current asset Turnover Ratio = 10,620,421.88 / 6,713,652.20 =1.58 times 2007 Non
Current asset Turnover Ratio = 10,204,376.00 / 6,940,745.22 = 1.47times

Interpretation:
In 2009 the company has non current assets turnover of 0.97 times which as lower
than previous years of 2008 1.58 times & in 2007 1.47 times. This shows GCCI has not
efficiently utilized its non current assets in 2009.

Current Asset turnover = sales / current assets
For 2009 Current Turnover Ratio = 10,311,977.68 / 10,313,122.39 = 1.00 times
For 2008 Current r Turnover Ratio = 10,620,421.88 /16,211,416.43 = 0.66 times
For 2007 Current Turnover Ratio = 10,204,376.00 / 15,244,888.10 = 0.67 times
Interpretation:
In 2009 the company has current assets turnover of 1.00 times which as greater than
previous years of 2008 0.66 times & in 2007 0.67 times. This shows GCCI has efficiently
utilized its current assets in 2009.

SWOT Analysis
The Strengths -Weaknesses Opportunities-Threats (SWOT) analysis is
also named as The Threats-Opportunities-Weaknesses-Strengths (TOWS)
analysis. A SWOT Analysis is a strategic planning tool used to assess the Threats,
Opportunities and Strengths, Weaknesses, involved in a business venture or in any other
situation requiring a decision. The most difficult part of SWOT Analysis is to match internal
and external factor. Once the objective has been identified, SWOT are discovered and listed.
SWOT analysis is defined precisely as follows:
Strengths & Weaknesses are linked with internal environment. Opportunities &
Threats are linked with internal environment.
Strengths and weaknesses are internal factors. The strength could be

your specialist marketing expertise. A weakness could be the lack of a new product in the
market.
Opportunities and threats are external factors. An opportunity could be

a developing distribution channel such as the Internet, or changing consumer lifestyles that
potentially increase demand for a company's products.
A threat could be a new competitor in an important existing market or a technological

change that makes existing products potentially obsolete.
It is significant of pointing out that SWOT analysis can be very subjective - two
people rarely come-up with the same description of a SWOT analysis even when given the
same information about the same business and its environment.

Being an internee at GCCI, I have observed the following Strengths, Weaknesses,
Opportunities, & Threats:
Strengths:
These are attributes of the organization that are unique & are helpful to attain the
objective of the organization. Following are the elements;
GCCI Support & Promote Trade Activities:
Gujranwala Chamber of Commerce and Industry is efficiently or effectively support,

promote the trade & industry activities of Gujranwala District. GCCI can take all the steps
which are necessary for the promotion of trade, commerce & industry through Seminars or
exhibitions in the GCCI.
Top Management Commitment:
GCCI’s top management is the Executive Committee, who is the combination of both
experienced & young energetic professional which are proving to be the real strength of
GCCI. This top management also includes the Director General. The main motive of all the
members of Executive Committee & Direct General is towards the support & full
commitment of all the trading activities in Gujranwala.
Effective Communication at GCCI:
Gujranwala Chamber of Commerce and Industry has very good relation among different
departments, coworkers, colleagues and subordinates. This good relationship can leads
towards the effective communication between different departments, coworkers, colleagues
& subordinates.

Infrastructure of GCCI:
The infrastructure of the GCCI is very attractive, which creates a good image in the mind
of visitors or outsiders. The infrastructure of GCCI has improved very much over the years
& still all the President can spend many funds every year to improve it further.
Sign of Quality:
GCCI has implemented ISO 9000 standard, which is a sign of Quality at very level of
organization & clarity in its internal processes. This creates a great image as ISO certified
Company has a great influence on the outsiders or foreign countries. That’s way GCCI has a
strong trade and industry monitoring and controlling position in the market.
Maintenance of Vital Statistical Records:
Gujranwala Chamber of Commerce and Industry has a Library which has maintained
vital statistics records & this library is the main requirement in for every Chamber. The
different department of GCCI like Membership Department has also maintained statistical
records for long term in order to avoid any ineffective operations.
Weaknesses:
These are attributes of the organization that are harmful to the achievement of its
objective. Following are some points which I have observed under this head;
Non Segregation of Duties:
In the Accounts department of GCCI which is a very crucial department. Only one
person an Accountant is done both jobs of “Cashier & Accountant”, this is very harmful for a
business that a single person can issue cash & also record that cash, so he can record
anything as there is no supervision or control over Accountant.

Planning of different Events of GCCI beyond its Control:
All the plans and their implementation made through Ministry of Commerce &
Federation of Chambers. The GCCI has a member is bound to follow all of their
requirements. Although these plans in his favor or not, the implementation of those is
compulsory on GCCI.
GCCI has not required Staff:
The GCCI has also facing Staff problems, in R & D cell only Director General of R & D
cell is work for this cell. He required a handsome staff in order to conduct research projects,
make making fortnightly bulletin in order to give proper guide & support to the members of
GCCI.
Opportunities:
These are external conditions or factors that are helpful to the achievement of its
objectives. Following are the Opportunities for GCCI;
Introduce new Departments:
GCCI has enough capacity or space as it own the whole Chamber Plaza, they have
just four departments, GCCI has a bigger opportunity to introduce or add or expand its
departments, like any one or two departments in to promote & effectively discharge its
services ,
1. Community Development and Communication
2. International Relation
3. Finance and Business Strategies
4. Industrial Development
5. Chamber Logistic Center

6. Health & Medical Science
7. Chamber Science and Technology Center
8. Islamic Medicine
9. Economic Development
10. Inter Industry Relations
11. Joint Ventures and Foreign Investment
12. Education and Training
13. Governmental Affairs
No Competitor:
Gujranwala Chamber of Commerce & Industry has greatest opportunity to expand its
operations as it has no Competitors in Gujranwala. It is the only company to support the
trade & business activities in Gujranwala. So, if the management of the company can go
towards its operations.
Innovations through Utilization of R & D Cell:
Gujranwala Chamber of Commerce & Industry create many facilities through

Research & Development & try to produce more innovative ideas or alternative of rare or
scarce resources in order to satisfy the existing members & also try to crate opportunities in
Gujranwala that more & more people can start works or start their businesses or companies,
& so, GCCI can increase its members through this.
Commencement of Mega Project for Infrastructure of District:
Gujranwala Chamber of Commerce & Industry has convenience the Government to

start different mega projects for the improvement of infrastructure of Gujranwala, as in order
to create different jobs to overcome the unemployment in the Gujranwala through the
“Capital Fund” of GCCI & Government Grant.

Threats:
These are external conditions that are harmful to the achievement of the objective. I have
observed the following threats;
Unstable Economic Conditions:
Gujranwala Chamber of Commerce & Industry has faced many threats from unstable
economic conditions in Pakistan, which is a big hurdle in the promotion of trade &
business activities in Gujranwala. As people are hesitate to invest. The international trade
of imports & exports are highly affected from these uncertain conditions.
Uncertain Political Conditions:
Gujranwala Chamber of Commerce & Industry has very much effected due to
uncertain political environment in Pakistan, this will also heart the trade & business
activities in Gujranwala as the uncertain economic conditions in Pakistan.
Higher Cost of Capital:
Gujranwala Chamber of Commerce & Industry has threat of reducing its members
due to High Cost of Capital due to the following factors;
 Inflation
 Electricity crisis
 Gas Load Shading
 High Prices of Inputs

 Many other factors
This is a big threat for GCCI has lost many of its members every year. If these costs
are not controlled no one can take initiate to start new business is also a threat for GCCI,
as having no more members.
Uncertain Economic Polices & Regulations of Government:
Gujranwala Chamber of Commerce & Industry is also badly affected due to
uncertain economic policies and regulations of government, like involvement of Political
Factors & change in Government can change the policies.

Recommendations
After conducting the SWOT analysis of GCCI, I am in a position to recommend the
factors, which are those if GCCI management can properly apply these factors, the weakness
& threats are converted into strengths & opportunities:
Segregation of Duties:
I recommend to GCCI management to segregate duties & only one person can do one job
& he has a superior or supervisor to inspect his work. In GCCI the accountant is not fit for
accountant as well as cashier. There should be separate person for each post in order to
prevent from frauds.
Hire the Required Staff:
I recommend to GCCI management the competent staff for R & D cell. If GCCI, wants
to promote the industry research work they have to hire the required staff. It is not possible
that only a single person Director General of R &D can handle or conduct the work of
research of different industries in Gujranwala. This job or work required a handsome amount
of employees who gather the data of different industries, identifying the problems & try to
solve those problems of the different industries through research.
GCCI Introduce New Departments:
I recommend to GCCI management to properly utilize his capacity by adding or

introducing new departments in order to promote the trade & industry from the capital fund
of GCCI. They have enough space; it should be very beneficial for the members of GCCI, if
GCCI can introduce new departments which are present in other districts or cities of
Pakistan.

New Industrial Zone:
I recommend to the GCCI management to connivance or approve a scheme of new

industrial zone to Ministry of Commerce, to provide facilities to start the new business. This
scheme can promote the industry of Gujranwala, & provide many job opportunities to the
graduates of the Gujranwala.
Conclusion
At the end, I conclude that the Gujranwala Chamber of Commerce & Industry is
engaged in the promotion of trade & industry is a good organization. During my internship at
GCCI, I have observed that, the company has providing facilities of membership about 7000
business either sole proprietor, partnership or company or body corporate. It provide
numerous benefits to its members, but now it has faced many challenges in the industrial
sector due to energy crisis, political & other challenges which become the grater hurdle in
the way to promote the industries smoothly.
During internship I did the research work in R & D cell & make the Country profile
of five countries, I have highlight the economic conditions & trade or top ten import &export
from these countries in Pakistan. In R & D cell I have also assist the Director General of R &
D in making the news bulletin of GCCI. I have also spent some time in other departments of
GCCI gain the practical experience of those departments. During work in membership
department, membership officer has given me the Memorandum of Analysis & Articles of
Associations, through these documents; I have understood all the working & their
procedures.
I have learned a lot of practical experience during the internship. In this report
after the SWOT analysis of GCCI, I have recommended some factors; if GCCI can
implements those factors the weakness or threats of GCCI are converted into Strengths or
Opportunities.
