WITH THE NAME OF ALLAH MOST BENEFICIAL, MERCIFUL AND A CREATOR OF ALL KINDS OF RESOURCES

PREFACE
One of the secrets of a successful economy is a well developed and well run financial sector. The existence of money and other financial assets facilitates the allocation of economic resources where they can more profitably be used. If we really want to understand how our economy works, it is necessary for us to understand how the use of financial assets leads to the better use of real assets. Understanding how the financial sector works and how it is related to the real sector is why we study finance. Many important personal decisions are financial. Paying for a home or an automobile are two very large examples, but even day-to-day decisions such as planning a budget, opening a checking account, or making investments call for a knowledge of finance. There are many firms that specialize in things financial. The primary concern for most of these firms is pooling the funds of those who have a surplus of funds and invest it in those firms that have a need for the funds.

Crescent Group Chronology


(Crescent Groups 60 Years Chronology) The Crescent Group (CG) has been in business since the beginning of twentieth century. They are known for their strong business ethics and their highly professional management, for which they command respect from the local and international business community. With its widespread presence, strong background and management strength, Crescent Group is well positioned to continue expanding rapidly by taking advantage of the liberal and improving economic environment in Pakistan. They have survived and recovered from turbulent political situations and economic crisis spread from the partition of the sub continent and Pakistans history.The diversity of The Group is reflected through its independent operating companies operating in diversified business sectors all over Pakistan. Among them are some of the companies that are premiers and market leaders in textiles, jute, sugar, engineering, investment, banking, insurance, leasing sectors etc.The Crescent Group employs over 17,000 people and has revenues exceeding Rs 20 billion from its few of its prominent companies. This constitutes over 0.55% of the countrys GDP and over 1% of the market capitalization of Pakistan.The consistent growth of the Group has resulted in numerous joint venture partnerships with international companies desiring to invest within the economy .Crescent Family has a general reputation of never Crescent Group has the slogan of The people who care for people" transferring their money abroad. Crescent family particularly has the reputation of being truly rooted and entrenched in the Pakistani Soil and is considered to be a conscientious tax payer.An article in Weekly Friday Times in the first week of April 1993 described Crescent as "one of the oldest, largest and most distinguished business concerns in Pakistan, an exemplary tax payers and investors of every penny earned back into their business of the home country". Presided over by eldest member of the family, Mr. Mazhar Karim, the Group has over twenty working members and can be truly called a joint venture of uncles, cousins and nephews.This Chiniot sheikh family has lived up with quite a wonderful reputation, bearing an excellent record with its creditors throughout its business. Men running Crescent do not have to make contacts, for the privilege comes to them naturally

Evolution of the Group


Pre Partition Era:
The history of the group dates back to 1910 when Mr. Shams Din of Chiniot and his four sons Mr. Amin, Mr. Bashir, Mr. Fazal Karim and Mr. Muhammad Shafi came into business with a tannery at Amritsar. By the time Pakistan was born, they had offices at Madras, Jalandhar, Calcutta, and Delhi, and were running the largest leather business in India. Post Partition Era 1950s: The period of 1950s for Crescent Group was dominated by its focus upon the textile sector. After migrating to Pakistan, the Crescent family struggled to regain its strength and growth pace, which it had left back in India. Crescent family was allotted an industrial unit sprawling over 125 acres in Faisalabad, in lieu of the property left over in India, which was to become the spring board of their growth and diversification. After the creation of Pakistan, three of the above mentioned four brothers returned to the native land and in 1951, incorporated a trading company Muhammad Amin Muhammad Bashir Limited for export of cotton and imports. Mr. Bashir settled in Karachi, Mr. Amin managed the operations from Lahore while Mr. Muhammad Shafi worked at the ginning factory in Sargodha. After migrating to Pakistan, the family took advantage of the incentives offered by the government for setting up industries and established Crescent Textile Mills Limited. The 1950s also saw the establishment of the Crescent Sugar Mills which was later expanded through the addition of a distillery plant. In the beginning Crescent Sugar was operating as a unit of Crescent Textile Mills Limited. However, after commencement of the operations of distillery, unit it become a separate entity and got listed on the stock exchange.

The Decade of 1960 Diversification of Groups Business


By mid 1960s Mr. Fazal Karim also returned to Pakistan and the four brothers fondly known in the business community, as the The Gang of Four" soon became Pakistan's biggest textile exporters. They were also joined in the business by their two cousins. In 1964, Crescent Jute Products Limited was set up and the Group took full advantage of unlimited resources of the countrys jute production in the eastern region. During the late 1960s the group expanded by setting up Crescent Boards Limited and Shams Textile Mills Limited. Crescent Board was the first of its kind designed by a German company to utilize biogases from its sugar mills for the manufacturing of board. Rapid expansion during the 1950s and the 1960s made Crescent Group one of the top groups and among 22 families notarized families of Pakistan, which dominated Pakistani economy in the sixties. The Group continued to expand its strength in the textile sector and incorporated Shams Textile Mills Limited, which was primarily engaged in manufacturing and trading of high quality yarn. The late 60s (1967) saw the emergence of Shakarganj Mills Limited as the Group continued to gain its hold in the sugar sector of the country. The end of the decade, Crescent Group had emerged as one of the most prestigious and strongest business conglomerate of the country 1980s and 90s Shift of Groups Focus towards Financial and Engineering Sectors: The sponsorship and management of the Group realized the potential of Pakistans growing financial sector and decided to make inroads into it in late 80s. The Group established Pakistan Industrial Leasing Corporation Limited in 1987 and successfully undertook leasing business in the country. This was followed by the establishment of Crescent Investment Bank Limited, which was among the premier investment banking institution in the country. The Bank dominated the Pakistani investment banking scenario for almost a decade until it acquired Pakistans operation of a multinational financial institution, Mashreq Bank psc, to form Crescent Commercial Bank Limited in 2003. The merger gave Crescent group a completely new image in the financial sector as it became the owner of a full scale commercial bank in the country.The Group further diversified its focus towards other sectors of the economy and incorporated Crescent Steel and Allied Products Limited in 1983. It is one of the downstream industries of Pakistan Steel Mills, manufacturing large diameter spiral arc welded steel pipelines. The company has become one of the most well written success stories of the Crescent Group and stands as the leading private sector steel engineering company in Pakistan.

Further inroads into the financial sector were made by the group in early 90s when it established 3 new Modaraba companies. First Crescent Modaraba, among them, become one of the largest modaraba companies in Pakistan in years ahead. First Crescent Modaraba in the years to follow turned out to be the parent company of the existing Crescent Standard Investment Bank Limited, which is now the largest investment bank in Pakistan. The Group also tapped into the countrys housing finance sector and incorporated International Housing Finance Limited in 1990. Besides establishing the new companies in the financial sector, the Group also started a series of takeovers and acquisitions and acquired Crescent Leasing Corporation Limited as part of its expansion strategy in the sector. Crescent Leasing Corporation Limited now stands among the most reputed and well renowned leasing companies in the leasing industry. The group entered the brokerage services in 1995 and took over Shoaib Capital (Pvt.) Limited to rename it as Crescent Capital Management (Pvt.) Limited.

Current Decade Finalization of the Groups Strategy towards Financial Sector


In early 2000s, the Group paced up its acquisitions and bought 3 leasing companies in 2002 namely Paramount Leasing Limited, First Leasing Corporation Limited and Pacific Leasing Company Limited.

Leasing Company Limited:


During the same period a Modaraba company was also acquired and latter renamed after equity injection as Crescent Standard Modaraba. The Group carried on its acquisition spree by further acquiring a brokerage firm Crescent Standard Brokerage in 2002. The Group also undertook rapid maneuvers in the banking sector to reduce the number of companies and formulate a stronger financial institution rather then operating several different banking companies at the same time. Al Towfeek Investment Bank was acquired by the Group and it was merged with First Crescent Modaraba to be re-named as First Standard Investment Bank Limited in 2002, which was renamed to Crescent Standard Investment Bank Limited. In another Group merger Crescent Investment Bank Limited acquired Pakistani operations of Mashreq Bank and both these financial institutions got merged to form Crescent Commercial Bank Limited in 2002.In yet another merger in 2003 Pakistan Industrial Leasing Corporation Limited, Trust Investment Bank Limited, Fidelity Investment Bank Limited and Doha Banks Pakistani operations all merged to form Trust Commercial Bank Limited. In a bid to further streamline the banking operations of the Group Trust Commercial Bank Limited was merged into Crescent Commercial Bank Limited in October 2004.

First part of the groups financial sector penetration strategy was to acquire and establish companies with diversified operational bases and the second phase which was the consolidation phase saw some of the most pioneering and complex mergers in the history of Pakistan in respect of the number of companies involved. Crescent Standard Investment Bank Limited, which now stands as the largest investment bank in Pakistan, is also the result of multiple mergers and acquisitions involving 7 of the above mentioned companies that were bought in the nineties and early 2000s.The latest acquisition undertaken by the Group is in the energy sector. Altern Energy Limited was taken over by the Group in early 2005. Crescent Group now runs its fastest growing financial sub-conglomerate by the name of Crescent Standard Group, which is lead by Mr. Altaf Saleem, Mr. Ahsan Saleem and Mr. Anjum Saleem, who represent the third generation of the Crescent family.Following table depicts the chronology of developments (incorporations and acquisitions only) that were followed by the Group in entering new business venues over its history.

Two types of work which I have done during internship.


Primary work Secondary work

PRIMARY WORK
I have divided my work in following parts Reconciliation Statement Preparation of cost sheet Transaction in Oracle

RECONCILIATION STATEMENT
The purpose of this exercise is to reconcile own companys statement with the records of other company. A valuable thing about a checking account is that it provides a double record for the depositor--one maintained by the company (depositor) and the other by the bank. The banks record, called a bank statement, is sent periodically (usually monthly) to the company. Whenever a bank statement is received, for control purposes an appropriate person within the company should reconcile the bank statement with the companys own records. This reconciliation accounts for differences between the two records. These differences are usually one of two types: one is comprised of lag by the bank or the company. Of course, once identified, errors can be corrected. Furthermore, the company is assured of the amount of cash available to it at the bank. For the best control, many companies reconcile both balances and transactions. This assures that the bank account is not being used for unauthorized purposesfor example, an unauthorized deposit and withdrawal for the same amount. Pertinent data necessary for the completion of the bank reconciliation are as follows: As of June 30,19X1, company had outstanding checks amounting to Rs. 28000 and deposits in transit equal to Rs. 35000. These items cleared the company in July. The July companys statement did not include the following data: Check No. Amount Deposit date Amount 751 12000 July 29 14000 800 13000 July 31 30000 802 4000 None of the above checks were outstanding on the June bank statement. NSF (no sufficient funds) check of customer for Rs. 820 deposited on June 25 was charged back by the bank on July 10. The company contacted the customer and redeposit the check on July 15. The way we understand bank reconciliation should look or at least the fundamental components: Statement closing balance for period GL Bank Account balance for period

Total unpresented Cheques for period Total AR unreconciled items for period Total cash management unreconciled statement lines for period

STANDARD WAY
The above would help us in the bank reconciliation we currently prepare manually. The formula is: Bank statement closing balance for period A Plus unreconciled AR B Less unpresented Cheques C Plus unreconciled CE lines D Plus/minus manual corrections E Equals Bank balance F Gen. Ledger account bal for period G Result F=G In the above formula, we would work out the manual corrections ourselves, but we expect to get the other totals from the cash management report. Now the current report shows the following: BANK POSITION: Closing bank balance 4880909.15 (entered from statement) Lines marked as errors 0.00 Adjusted Closing Bank balance 4880909.15 GENERAL LEDGER POSITION: Balance per GL 4983396.11 Statement items reconciled to future period 3882910.84 Adjusted GL balance 8866306.95 CASH MANAGEMENT POSITION: Total reconciled in statement lines (40476645.75) Total Unreconciled in statement lines 62.87 Adjusted closing bank balance (40476582.88) DIFFERENCE: 45357492.03 The above report shows no comparison of the main figures. Furthermore the manual does not explain how to make comparison of these figures to determine the difference between the GL and the bank.

ACCORDING TO CBL
First Step is to tick the invoices of own ledger with the partys ledger. Second step is to tick the payment of own ledger with the partys ledger. Next is to find out unmarked payments and invoices. Next is to prepare reconciliation statement. Following is the sample of Reconciliation statement:

Result Balance as per CBLS ledger COST SHEET


A competitive product must address factors such as cost, performance, aesthetics, schedule or time-to-market, and quality. The importance of these factors will vary from product to product and market to market. And, overtime, customers or users of a product will demand more and more, e.g., more performance at less cost. Cost will become a more important factor in the acquisition of a product in two situations. First, as the technology or aesthetics of a product matures or stabilizes and the competitive playing field levels, competition are increasingly based cost or price. Second, a customers internal economics or financial resource limitations may shift the acquisition decision toward affordability as a more dominant factor. In either case, a successful product supplier must focus more attention on managing product cost. When a company faces a profitability problem and undertakes a cost reduction

program, it will typically reduce research and development expenditures and focus on post-development activities such as production, sales, and general and administrative expenditures.

DEFINITION OF TERMS
The following definition of terms will provide a common basis for discussion: Recurring production cost = Production labor + Direct materials + Process costs + overhead + outside processing Non-recurring costs = Development costs + Tooling Product costs = Recurring production costs + allocated non-recurring costs Product price or acquisition costs = Product costs + selling, general & administrative + warranty costs + profit Life cycle costs = Acquisition costs other related capital costs + training costs + operating costs + support costs + disposal costs.

PREPARATION OF COST SHEET


It shows that what type of material CBL purchased including its total cost.

PURPOSE:
Its purpose is to record the expenses. To find out the total cost of import. To find out the per unit rate. IMPORTANT THINGS: Three things are necessary Estimated cost sheet No. Control No. Purchase order No.

DOCUMENTS:
Following documents are necessary for the preparation of cost sheet. Suppliers Invoice Agents Bill Freight Bill Form of tax After the completion of above requirements we can prepare cost sheet by using computer.

FOC:
FOC stands for free of cost. Sometimes customer such as Levis send their own choice of trims to CBL now it is recorded as free of cost but CBL has to beard some expenses on it such as transportation expenses. But when the customer paid the amount that amount is deducted from his payments.

9. CONCLUSIONS IMPROVEMENT

AND

RECOMMENDATIONS

FOR

After studying the organization I have reached on a point where I can suggest what I inferred from this period which I spent their. 9.1 CONCLUSIONS The practical study which I carried in this organization was very informative for me because it provides me the chance to see the actual working environment in the light of management theory. This also gives me the occasion how we can implement the theoretical knowledge in the working environment.I have seen the different departments most of them are working well. However I have also taken the critic notes of the working ways and conditions of different departments. There I found some weaknesses and flaws along with the good working styles of the workers and the supervisors. 9.2 RECOMMENDATIONS Analyzing all the chapters conclusions and the interviews and surveys that I have conducted, it is finally concluded that CBL management is working in a more focused and formalized manner.However, to achieve their objectives successfully on the International standards,following suggestions are offered: The CBL must concentrate in the local marketing to increase the profit. The management should take keen interest in exporting the fabric to different countries. It is highly recommended to the CBL management that they should more emphasize on hiring highly qualified and fresh degree holders because it brings innovation. Moreover highly qualified staff can run the management in a more formalized and focused manner. It is recommended to CBL that they should go for news paper advertisement also, both for recruitment purpose and for the purpose of gaining employees of capable abilities having not access to internet. It is highly recommended to the management that the orientation must be conducted in a formalized manner. All the activities that have to be completed in the orientation process must be documented on a checklist. After the completion of the orientation process the checklist must be remarked and signed by the newly hired employees, as well as by the supervisor/ head of the departments who are actually conducting the orientation. Finally the checklist must be reviewed by the personnel manger, to make sure that the orientation process has been completed properly. It is recommended to the CBL management, that the department mangers must also be given opportunity to go abroad for updated training courses. The experience gained by foreign training courses will make the department managers better able to groom their department employees according to the new techniques being practiced internationally.

The CBL management must also arrange local training sessions for special purposes to be refreshed after every 3-4 months, like stress management, time management, crises management etc. The audio/ visual tools must be used while training lectures. Case studies must be conducted and training literature must be provided to the employees. Employees attendance in the training classes must be strictly maintained. The annual increment in salaries of the employees in CBL is provided according to bargaining at the time of interview, it should also be awarded according to the performance as well. Moreover it is recommended that the CBL management should increase the annual increments in salaries in order to reduce the high turn over rate in employees. In case of outstanding profits earned any year, the CBL management should give credit to the employees by giving them bonuses. This practice will contribute a lot to employees motivation and involvement with the Organization Moreover Eid bonuses may be given to employees.
