The Bank
“Bank is a pipeline through which currency moves into and out of circulation.” Bank
accepts deposits and repays cash to its customers on their demand. The Bank borrows
money at a lesser rate of interest and lends it to the borrower at higher rate. It is thus a
profit-lending concern. Bank cannot lend all the money that has been deposited with it. It
has to keep a certain portion of the total deposit in cash with them in order to meet the
cash requirements of the individuals and business concern.

Stages of banking:
Word Bank is said to be derived from the words Banc us or Banque or Bank. The history
of banking is traced to as early as 200 BC. The priest in Greece used to keep money and
valuables of the people in temples. These priests thus acted as financial agents. The origin
of banking is also trace to early goldsmiths. They used to keep strong safes for storing the
money and valuables of the people. The persons who had surplus money found it safe and
convenient to deposit their valuables with them.

The first stage:

In the development of modern banking, thus, was the accepting of deposits of cash from
those persons who had surplus money with them, by issuing receipts for the money
deposited with them. These receipts began to pass from hand to hand in settlement of
transactions. When it was found that these receipts were drawn in entitles any
holder to claim the specified amount of money from goldsmiths. A depositor who is to
make the payments may now get the money in cash from goldsmiths or pay over the
receipt to the creditor. These receipts were the earlier bank notes.

The second stage:


In development of banking thus was the issue of bank notes. The goldsmiths soon
discovered that all the people who had deposited money with them did not come to
withdraw their funds in cash.

They also found that most of the money deposited with was lying idle. At the same time,
they found that they were being constantly requested for loan on good security. They
thought it profitable to lend at least some of the money deposited with them to the
needy persons. They instead of charging interest from the depositors began to
give them interest on the money deposited with them.

Third stage:
By Experience the banks come to know that could keep the small portion of the total
deposits for meeting the demands of customers for cash and the rest they could easily
lend. They allowed the depositors to draw over and above the money actually standing to
their credit. In Economics terminology we can say that they allowed the overdraft
facilities to their depositors.

Fourth stage:
T h e banks in order to earn profits could not keep adequate reserves for
meeting the demands of the customers for cash. The failures on the part of the bankers
to return money caused widespread distress among the peoples. In order to create
confidence among the people, a conference was held in Nuremberg in 1548.
It was decided that a bank should be set up by the state, which should stream
line the banking organization and technique. The first central bank was formed in
Geneva in 1578. Bank of England was established in 1694. The responsibility of issuing
of notes is now entrusted to a central bank of each country.

Strategies of the Organization

 Community Marketing

Banks range in size and capabilities. Small banks may only have one or two branch
offices whereas large commercial banks may have thousands of branches across the
nation. Regardless of the size of the bank, each branch needs to tailor local marketing
strategies to serve the immediate community. Consumers bank in a place where they feel
safe and comfortable. This means tellers and account representatives who speak English
as well as any prominent language in the community. By having branch managers look at
the local community needs, the bank can attract a larger percentage of the target market.

 Product Bundling

A successful strategy employed by all banks is product bundling, such as offering a free
checking account for those who open a savings account. Because this has become
common practice, successful strategies implement creative bundling solutions. An
automatic home line of credit with a mortgage refinance might be a solution when
interest rates are low or the community has a large percentage of consumers looking to
consolidate debt.

 Pre-Approved Products

Consumers are more likely to say yes to something when they already know they are
approved for it. Banks can review existing accounts to determine positive banking and
credit trends in customers. Those identified with positive trends and credit history is sent
"pre-approval" letters for credit cards, lines of credit or mortgages.

 Teller Referrals

Bank tellers interact with the majority of the bank clientele. Tellers perform the day-to-
day transactions, such as cashing cheques, making deposits or transferring money.
Successful banks consistently train tellers to look for opportunities to cross-sell bank

15
The University of Punjab Jhelum campus

products and refer customers to the right person. The teller may see a high savings
balance and suggest a higher -earning time certificate. Smart banks reward top referring
tellers to entice them to take the time to suggest a new product or service.

 Premier Services

Premier services are designed to attract high net worth bank clientele. High net worth
clients often have different needs as well as expectations. By offering a select set of
private bankers to personally handle all transactions and account reviews, client trust
increases.

Competitive Strategy

 Value added services are provided.


 Pull and push strategy is adopted
 Performance is better.
 Welcome customer with smile Innovations in banking.

Disbursement of Financial Assistance to Flood Victims:

The devastating flood in year 2014 had completely destroyed the social and economic
lives of thousands of fellow countrymen across Punjab. In order to rehabilitate and help

of time and in a fully transparent manner.

of the peoples. Accordingly, Bank generously supports the activities promoting the
culture, sports and heritage in the country. Besides sponsoring different sports events
across the country, the Bank also extends financial support to the cultural events at the
Regional levels.

Environment Protection and Energy Conservation:

The persistent energy crisis in the country has made it obligatory for every individual and
organization to play its role in preserving energy. The Bank also realizes the financing
needs to help produce alternative energy. Besides facilitating large scale projects, the
Bank has introduced Solar Penal financing scheme with an objective to reduce energy
woes of common man and help produce low cost environment friendly energy.

may be put on the management of the bank in respect of recruitment of staff or provision

Administrative & Leadership style
 Administrative & Management Styles
 Impact of different styles on Morale & Efficiency

Administrative style

Management at BOP is focused towards maintaining the cooperative culture within the
organization and also with the clients of the bank. The way managers treat the employees is
unique. This is the reason why each and every employee is pretty much satisfied with the job.

Management Styles

Management must have to adopt some administrative style to get all the activities to be done
effectively and efficiently. As far as the management styles are concerned, there is
centralization. Management refers to the universal process of effectively and efficiently
getting activities completed with and through other people. It is a process by which certain
basic functions that are planning, organizing, leading and controlling are performed to achieve
the desired objectives of the organization.

Managerial level

Branch Manager is authoritative. The implementation of strategies and getting all the
activities to be done properly with an organized environment, unity of command was the
requirement of the time and administration. When he was not present, I observed the
environment of uncertainty and deregulation in the bank to a little extent.

Department level

Operations of the department are assigned to the department heads. Subordinates are
consulted by the Department managers before asking the solution of a problem from the
Branch Manager. Thus, employees are satisfied.

Operational/Staff level

As employees are satisfied to the work assigned and authority structure, so management at
this level is obligatory to the decisions of the department heads level.

Specialization of the Organization

 Finance department.
 Human resource department.

35
The University of Punjab Jhelum campus

 Marketing department.
 Services department.
 Advance department.

Chain of command of HR

 President
 Chief Executive HR
 Senior Executive Vice President HR
 Vice President
 G.M HR
 Director
 Senior Manager

Division of Labor

The structure of the Bank of Punjab is divided into division and these divisions are further
divided into departments. This type of structure helps the management in controlling the
operations of the bank effectively. Each division is responsible for its respective duties.

Span of Control

Span of control among hierarchical structure is clearly defined. Each department reports to
the central department and then this central department reports to the head office.

Communication

Communication among the organizational departments is easy. Horizontal and vertical


communication among departments is very effective

Impact of different styles on the morale and efficiently of workers


Management styles have a great impact on the overall working of an organization. The key
issues, which can arise due to strong authoritative actions by the management, can be of the
following nature:

36
The University of Punjab Jhelum campus

 Absenteeism
 Irresponsible behavior
 Coordination
 Reporting time delays
 Turnover

Motivation:
The term motive implies action to satisfy a need. Motivation can be defined as a willingness
to expend energy to achieve a goal or a reward. The management styles adopted by the bank
affect greatly, and employees are motivated in order to enhance their performance and achieve
the derived goals.

Morale and Productivity


The employees of the bank possess high morale, and thus exhibit high productivity. The
employees are happy and are also productive workers. Job attitudes and morale are quite
positive for two reasons.
Firstly employees gain social satisfaction from interactions at the work place. Working
conditions and supervision are good; secondly high morale results from high motivation to
produce. In other words we can say that management should put its eggs in the basket that
creates a high-motivated work force.

Job efficiency and satisfaction:


Consequently the overall impact of the well-equipped management styled organization is the
job efficiency and job satisfaction. At BOP the employees are very much satisfied with the job
and the overall working conditions of the bank, so in due response, the bank is enjoying high
efficiency in managing the time delays in reporting and working operations.

Situational Analysis:

SWOT Analysis

SWOT analysis is one of the most important steps in formulating strategy using the
organization mission as a context; managers assess internal strengths distinctive competencies
and weakness and external opportunities and threats. The goal is to then develop good
strategies and exploit opportunities and strengths neutralize threats and avoid weaknesses.

SWOT analysis is an acronym that stands for strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats
SWOT analysis is careful evaluation of an organization’s internal strengths and weakness as
well as its environment opportunities and threats.

“SWOT analysis is a situational which includes strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and


threats that affect organizational performance.”

In SWOT analysis the best strategies accomplish an organization’s mission by:

 Exploiting an organizations opportunities and strength.


 Neutralizing it threats.
 Avoiding or correcting its weakness.

Strengths:

 Firstly BOP is Supported or funded by the Punjab Government, people have trust on
it.

remittance business as compare other province banks.
 BOP is playing positive role in economic progress of country as compare to other

 Employees are provided good facilities.
 Day by day performance of branch is increasing which is helpful in strengthening
financial position of Bank.
 The Bank officers of BOP are considered as one of the most able professionals in the
banking world (some belong to BCCI). However, they have added some local flavor in
accordance with their targeted segmented. In my observation that they interact with
their clients as if they are their personal friends and discuss about their problems as
their own.
 Good security system, diversification of investments, foreign reserves.

Weakness:
 In BOP employees are less trained about customer dealing as compare to private
banks. BOP is not conducting extensive training to their employees.
 As each staff member performs many duties in one time so this capture extra time
which can slows down the performance.

40
The University of Punjab Jhelum campus

 BOP has formulized a lot of products and services for its customers, even more than
other commercial banks, but any advertisement on electronic media has not been seen.
 In BOP Dina there is no trade and credit department. Customers of bank need to move
to district branch for credit issues.

 Lack of proper internal controls is one of the major weaknesses of BOP. It is also
pointed by the auditor in his review.

Opportunity:
 Due to huge Government Deposit BOP has the opportunity to expand its network in
remote areas.
 The BOP management have been improved by the new management, now there is
opportunity to considered adequate effectively implemented and monitored
 BOP has opportunity it is earning commission on Government Transaction
 Due to huge revenue, BOP has opportunity to introduce new scheme related to
Consumers finance, in Retail banking, and in Agriculture loan scheme to obtained
maximum market share
 BOP Trust and reliability due to supported by Punjab Government create opportunity
to increase the deposit and profitability through expanding their products and services
to the peoples
 Due to increasing in deposit BOP could increase its investment and financing in
banking sector.
 BOP has introduced a number of financial schemes including special ‘Deposit
Accounts’. These accounts have their unique features. During the last three years, BOP
deposits have been increasing @ 40%, which is a very healthy sign. Therefore, with
the commencement of new schemes there can even be a greater increase in its
deposits.
 The Bank of Punjab compete its competitors by encouraging agriculture loans. So in
such a way it plays an important role for promotion of agriculture sector.

41
The University of Punjab Jhelum campus

Threats:

 Inflation is big causes, Modern type of banking, these are the big threats for BOP, it
leads to reduce the deposit by reducing the consumers as well as working condition.
 Political instability, changing or up and down in Politician parities also a big threat for
BOP, new candidate will come with new policies.
 Modern marketing concept, efficient service adopt by the competitors are also threat to
BOP.
 Muslim community don’t like the consumers banking, it is also threat for BOP.
 Currently The Bank of Punjab is facing major threat in Pakistan that is private
businessmen do not prefer the Bank of Punjab due to the standard as compare to
private bank.
 BOP is facing a strong competition by its competitors, Business of all these Banks are
growing at very high pace.
 Low security, economic and political instability.

42
The University of Punjab Jhelum campus

Environmental Scanning
Political-Legal:
 There is persistent change of rules and regulation by GOVT. so it disturbs the
performance of the organization.
 Agriculture contributes to poverty reduction for vast majority of the poor live in rural
areas. Government has taken initiatives in agriculture and rural development.
 The fluctuation in the rules of monetary policy is also the reason of bad condition of any
economy.
 Government of Pakistan through SBP has provided backing to the banking industry by
reducing cash reserve requirements (CRR) to 6% from 8%. This has provided liquidity
to banks worth Rs. 180 Billion.
 Improvement in law and order and elimination of political unrest are very much
imperative for the Government in order to provide investment conducive environment to
both local and foreign investors.

Economic:

 Energy crisis is looming in the country, because of an increase in demand and a rather
slow improvement in supply.
 Economic instability spreading in worldwide financial markets & investors are losing
their confidence in banks.
 The budget is also relates with the economic factor of any country. If the Budget is
encouraged then there will be more deposits for bank so that the bank can lend money to
the agriculture and industrial sectors. Then there should be boom condition and vice
versa.
 If the interest rate is decreases then there shall not be any healthy sign for the BOP.
 If there is inflation then the purchasing power of customers shall be reduced.
 The life style of people also impacts on banking products they want more advancement
in the products.
 The population is also increasing with the passage of time. But there are low resources
to accommodate them.

43
The University of Punjab Jhelum campus

Socio cultural:

 The shifting of the Younger Generation to a separate place after the marriage. So they
want House hold products like freezer, car, television and bike. For this they have need
money in such situation they shall borrow the money from the bank.
 The changing in life style is also a positive sign for the Bank. Now everyone wants that
he have a full furnished house. For this if he shall not in situation to purchase then he
cannot achieve his life style. This is when he has no enough money for this he shall feel
the need of loan from the bank.
 The illiterate people feel hesitation to put their money in the banks. So, this impact
negatively on banks banking filed. But there is also positive side of this that is illiterate
people trust more on banks to deposit their money; without having any information
about the bank.
 Visible implementation in society is very important. Because it can be help full to
promote the people to take out their investments &valuables from banks as there are
huge chances of banks’ liquidation.

 The huge culture of opening bank accounts, investment making, and credit & debit cards
now seems to moving towards declining phase.
Technological:
 Latest computerized control system
 Strategic plan 2005-10 of SBP for all Pakistani banks ensures technological
advancements in the whole banking sector.
 Latest developments in terms of technology in computer and telecommunication have
encouraged the bankers to change the concept of branch banking to anywhere banking.

increased quickly.

Ratio Analysis
Liquidity Ratios

Liquidity ratios means to measure short term solvency of the company. It shows the ability of
the company to pay off its short term debt. Following ratios are calculated in order to measure
the short term solvency of the company

 Current Ratio
 Acid Test Ratio
 Working Capital

Current Ratio

Current Assets = Cash and Balance with Treasury Banks + Balance with other Banks
+Lending to Financial Institution + Short Investment + Short Advances + Other Assets

Current Liabilities = Bill Payables + Short Borrowing + Short Deposit + Other Liabilities

Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current liabilities


Year 2012 Year 2013 Year 2014
=315566949/319735947 =336555992/339214461 =405034641/399042353
=0.98 =0.99 =1.01

Explanation:
The standard of this ratio is 2:1, means current assets are twice the current liabilities. But
Bank of Punjab has a lower current ratio to the standard rate. In 2012 it is 0.98, in 2013 it is
0.99 and in 2014 it is 1.01 which is better than from previous two years.

Acid Test Ratio

Current Assets = Cash and Balance with Treasury Banks + Balance with other Banks
+Lending to Financial Institution + Short Investment + Short Advances + Other Assets

Current Liabilities = Bill Payables + Short Borrowing + Short Deposit + Other Liabilities

Prepaid expenses = Advances, deposits, advance rent and other prepayments

76
The University of Punjab Jhelum campus

Acid Test Ratio = Current Assets – (Inventories + prepayments) / Current liabilities

Year 2012 Year 2013 Year 2014

=(315566949-186,816)/ =(336555992-229,253) =(405034641-268,302)/


319735947 /339214461 399042353
=315380133/319735947 =336326739/339214461 =404766339/399042353
=0.986
=0.99 =1.01

Explanation:

As the Acid test ratio from year 2012 to 2014 is: Rs.0.98, Rs. 0.99 and Rs 1.01 respectively.
In first two years acid test ratio is slight less than is standard ratio. It must be 1:1 in order to
proof the short term solvency of the bank to pay off its short term expenses.

Working capital

Working Capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities

Year 2012 Year 2013 Year 2014

=315566949-319735947 =336555992-339214461 =405034641-399042353


=(4168998) = (2658469) =5992288

Explanation:

The working capital of BOP is negative in first two selected years because liabilities are more
than its assets. In 2014 assets are more than its liabilities so; working capital of BOP shows
positive sign.

Leverage Ratios

These ratios show the capital structure of the firm. Through these ratios we find that how the
firm finance their activities. It is more important for the lender to assess that the firm can
repay the loan amount or not. Increasing debt increases the likelihood of bankruptcy of the
firm. Following ratios falls under this category,

77
The University of Punjab Jhelum campus

 Time Interest Earned


 Debt Ratio
 Debt to Equity Ratio
 Total Capitalization Ratio

Time Interest Earned Ratio:

Time Interest Earned = Profit before tax + Interest Expense (EBIT) / Interest Expense

Year 2012 Year 2013 Year 2014

=Rs.1403892/22522918 =Rs.3,001,282/20,208,687 =4306663/20525783


=0.0623 =0.148 =0.21

Explanation:

The Time Interest Earned Ratio of BOP is not better, but in 2014 it has been increased from
previous years from 0.06% to 0.21%.

Debt Ratio

Total Debt = Bills Payable + Borrowings from financial institutions + Deposits & other
accounts + Subordinate Loans + Liabilities against assets subject to finance lease + deferred
tax liabilities+ Other liabilities

Total Assets = Given in the Balance Sheet

Debt Ratio = (Total Debt / Total Assets) * 100


Year 2012 Year 2013 Year 2014
=319,739,551/332,111,054*100 =339,216,847/352,698,145*100 =401,043,481/420,370,188*100
=96.27 =96.17 =95.40

Explanation: Debt ratio is measure of debt with the total assets. The debt ratio is almost
constant that indicates the dependence on debt is constant for these three years. In 2014 the
total Debt was the almost 95.4% of Total Assets.

78
The University of Punjab Jhelum campus

Debt / Equity Ratio

Total Debt = Bills Payable + Borrowings from financial institutions + Deposits & other
accounts + Subordinate Loans + Liabilities against assets subject to finance lease + deferred
tax liabilities+ Other liabilities

Total Equity = Share Capital + Reserves + Un-appropriated Profit (-loss)+ Discount on


issue of share + share deposit money + surplus on revelation of fixed assets

Debt to Equity Ratio = Total Debt / Total Equity

Year 2012 Year 2013 Year 2014

=319,739,551/12,371,503 =339,216,847/13,481,298 =401,043,481/19,326,707


=25.8 =25.1 =20.75

Explanation:

Debt to equity ratio is high in first two years but it has been decreased in 2014 to 20.75.

Total capitalization Ratio

Long Term Debt


Total Capitalization Ratio =
Long Term Debt + Shareholder's Equity

Year 2012 Year 2013 Year 2014

=Rs.273555016/ 285926519 =Rs.314914030/ 328395328 =Rs.352573126/371899833

=0.95 Times =0.959 Times =0.94 Times

Long Term Debt = Deposit and other account + Liabilities against assets subject to
finance lease + Deferred tax liabilities + other liabilities

Explanation:

79
The University of Punjab Jhelum campus

The total capitalization ratio compares the total debt with the sum of debt and equity. The low
capitalization ratio indicates the financial fitness of the firm. According to the calculation, I
can see that the ratio in 2014 is lower.

Profitability Ratios
Profitability ratios measure the earning ability of the firm. Following ratios are calculated:
 Net Profit Margin
 Return on Assets
 DuPont Return on Assets
 Operating Income Margin
 Return on operating Assets
 Return on Total Equity
 Gross Profit Margin
Net Profit Margin

Net Profit = Profit after Taxation

Total Revenue = Markup/ return/interest earned

Net Profit Margin = Net Profit / Total Revenue

Year 2012 Year 2013 Year 2014

=Rs.1633841/24,666,024 =Rs.1938007/24227721 =2,787,449/29,521,719


=6.62% =7.99% =9.44%

Explanation:

The net profit margin is increasing from 2012 to 2014. In 2012 the net profit margin is 6.62%
which is lower in selected three years. After this it start to increase and in 2013 it is 7.99% and
in 2014 it is 9.44%.

Return on Assets

Net Profit = Profit after Taxation

Total Assets = Given in the Balance Sheet


80
The University of Punjab Jhelum campus

ROA = Net Income / Total Assets

Year 2012 Year 2013 Year 2014

=1,633,841/332,111,054 =1938007/352198645 =2,787,449/420,370,188


=0.4919% =0.550% =0.66%

Explanation:

It is simple Return on Assets, which calculate through net income, and total assets but the
result is same as in Du-Pont ROA. It is showing the consistent increase in the return on
Assets.

DuPont Return on Assets Ratio

Net Profit = Profit after Taxation

Total Revenue = Markup/ return/interest earned

Total Assets = Given in the Balance Sheet

Du-Pont ROA = (Net Income / Total Revenue) x (Total Revenue / Total Assets)

Year 2012 Year 2013 Year 2014

=(1633841/24666024)* =(1,938,007/24,227,721)* =(2,787,449/29,521,719)*


(24666024/332,111,054) (24,227,721/352198645) ( 29,521,719/420,370,188)

=0.06623*0.074 =0.07999*0.0687 =0.09*0.07

=0.4918% =0.549% =0.63%

Explanation:

DuPont ROA Analysis is the approach to calculate the Return on Assets by taking Net
Income, Total Revenue and Total Assets. It shows the effect of revenue on the net income and

81
The University of Punjab Jhelum campus

the total assets. When we calculate the DuPont ROA of BOP, we find consistently the
increase in the return on assets. In 2014 it is at higher level.

Operating Income Margin

Operating Income Margin = Earnings Before tax + interest expenses / Total Revenue

Year 2012 Year 2013 Year 2014

=Rs.1,403,892/Rs.24,666,024 =Rs3,001,282/Rs.24,227,721 =Rs. 4,306,663/Rs. 29,521,719

=5.691% =12.38% =14.5%

Explanation:

Ratio shows a increasing in the revenues. BOP continuously increasing operating income
margin and recovering its position in financial market after financial crisis of 2008.Operatin
income is high in 2014.

Return on Operating Assets


Operating Assets = Cash and Balance with Treasury Banks + Balance with other Banks
+Lending to Financial Institution + Advances + Operating fixed Assets
Return on Operating Assets = EBIT / Operating Assets

Year 2012 Year 2013 Year 2014

=Rs. 1,403,892/175041060 =Rs.3,001,282/200294007 =Rs.4,306,663/234412918


= 0.802% =1.498% =1.83%

Explanation:

As the Return on Operating Assets from year 2012 to 2014 is: 0.8%, 1.49% and 1.83%
respectively. As for as index analysis concern return on operating assets has been increasing
from 2012 to 2014.

82
The University of Punjab Jhelum campus

Return in Total Equity

Average Stockholder Equity = Share Capital + Reserves + Un-appropriated Profit (-loss)+


Discount on issue of share + share deposit money + surplus on revelation of fixed assets

ROE = (Net Income / Average Stockholder Equity) * 100

Year 2012 Year 2013 Year 2014

=Rs.1,633,841/12,371,503 = Rs. 1,938,007/13,481,298 =Rs. 2,787,449 /19,326,707


= 13.2% = 14.3% =14.4%

Explanation:
Return on Owner’s Equity in the year 2012 is 13.2% and in the year 2014 it is 14.4% which
shows an increase trend from year on year basis.

Gross Profit Margin

Gross Profit Margin = (Gross Profit / Total Revenue) * 100

Year 2012 Year 2013 Year 2014

=Rs.2,143,106/Rs.24,666,024 =Rs.4,019,034/Rs.24,227,721 =Rs.8,995,936/Rs.29,521,719

=8.688% =16.58% =30.4%

Explanation:

This ratio also shows the increase in revenue of BOP. In 2012 it is 8.68%, in 2013 it is
16.58% and in 2014 it is 30.4%. Because the revenue of the BOP is increasing so the Gross
Profit automatically increases.

Activity Ratios
Activity ratios measure a firm’s ability to convert different accounts within their balance
sheets into cash or sales.
 Total Assets Turnover
 Fixed Assets Turnover

83
The University of Punjab Jhelum campus

Total Assets Turnover

Total Assets Turnover Ratio = Interest or Markup / Total Assets

Year 2012 Year 2012 Year 2013

=Rs.24,666,024/Rs.332,111,054 =Rs.24,227,721/Rs.352,698,145 =Rs.29,521,719/Rs.420,370,188

= 0.0742 times =0.0686 times =0.0702 times

Explanation:

Total Asset turnover ratio measures the firm’s effectiveness in generating the revenue from its
investments in total assets. The high ratio shows the high revenue generation from its assets.

Fixed Assets Turnover

Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio = Interest or Markup / Fixed Assets

Year 2012 Year 2013 Year 2014

=Rs.24,666,024/Rs.3,473,491 =Rs.24,227,721/Rs.3,514,801 =Rs.29,521,719/Rs.5,490,121

=7.10 times =6.89 times =5.37%

Explanation:

The fixed asset turnover ratio measures the company's effectiveness in generating sales from
its investment in fixed assets. The ratio shows the decrease in fixed assets turnover in 2014. It
means that the generation of revenue on the fixed assets decreased in 2014.

Recommendations & Conclusion

93
The University of Punjab Jhelum campus

Recommendations:

Some of the recommendations that I would recommend to some of the weakness discussed in
the above section, that might increase the efficiency of both the operations and employees of
Bank of Punjab are as follows

Internal Controls

The major and the most important flaw in the BOP is lack of internal controls and inter
communication between different branches of the bank. As far as financial aspect is concerned
there is no proper system is configured that’s why there is always a risk of big frauds within
the bank. To me the bank should install some proper resource planning and controlling
systems like other banks do i.e., oracle financials etc.

Professional Training

BOP staff lacks professionalism. They lack the necessary training to do the job efficiently and
properly. Although staff colleges are in all major cities of the Punjab but they are not
performing well. For this purpose these staff colleges should be reorganized and their syllabus
should be made in such a way which can help the employee understand the ever-changing
global economic scenario.

Delegation of Authority

Employees of the bank should be given a task and authority and they should be asked for their
responsibility. The sense responsibility in employees mind is one of the most important
factors in the success of any organization.

Performance Appraisal

During Internship I felt that there is no or very less appraisal of any ones cool performance.
The manager should strictly monitor the performance of every staff member. All of them
should be awarded according to their performance and result in the shape of bonuses to
motivated and incite them to work more efficiently.

Need of Qualified Staff

94
The University of Punjab Jhelum campus

Required, qualified staff should be provided to branch in order to improve the functioning of
the branch. Especially a telephone operator should be appointed.

Workshops and Counseling:


Workshop programs should be conducted in every city. Theses workshop should relate to all
aspects of banking and may also be conducted with other banks as a joint program. Also as
parts of the human resource training, counseling programs should be started for junior
executives or new entrants into the bank, introducing them to their prospects in this industry.

The lower staff employed at BOP should also be given a chance to succeed in life by training
them in different simple jobs at the bank.

Incentives:

Incentive schemes should be developed for the employees that can help motivate them, which
might include:

 Personal loans and car financing facilities for all ranks of employees.
 Scholarship programs for all employees.
 Introducing employee awards at branch and regional levels.
 Job rotation programs to enhance the skills of employees.

Technological Advancement

I would like to suggest that at least all the branches of BOP should be fully computerized in
order to expedite the dealing process among bankers and their customers. Computers must be
updated wit latest software which would help the employees to work efficiently. Daily records
should be entered directly into these computers, (instead entering the overall daily transactions
after the banking hours). It will not only reduce transaction time, will increase accuracy but
will also be efficient as well.

Not only it will be economical but will also reduce the extra burden of work of the bank.

Improper Distribution of Work

Proper distribution of work leads to success in every organization. Proper distribution of work
prevents the employee from over and under work situation. So for a smooth running of an
organization proper distribution of work is the hint to be followed.

During my internship I observed that there was no proper distribution of work in the bank. I
saw that some of the employee worked like ants other sat idle staring here and there. So this
created a lot of over work situation for while relaxation for other.

Housing and House Hold Goods Loans

Bank should initiate these loans because most of bank’s customers are middle class and they
cannot afford to buy house or household goods at once by their own.

Innovative Products:
New and innovative products should be introduced by bank of Punjab, like other bank such as
citibank and standard chartered bank develops for their customer. For this purpose, special
teams should be developed that include professional from all departments of the banks to
come with ideas. This process will increase the number of ideas generated and even produce
innovative products for the bank that might give them the edge.

Job design:
There are some departments in the bank that do not have enough employees, while some have
more than needed. All this creates inefficiencies and so the operations manager should look at
the department of the branch and see where inefficiencies lie, in consultation of with the heads
of the departments and hire individuals where there are less employees or rotate employees
from other departments.

Marketing Campaigns:

BOP should increase the efficiency and effectiveness of marketing campaigns. Develop
advance marketing strategies to attract more customers. BOP should increase advertisement
through electronic media.
