4. Leading:
Leaders are needed for boosting morale, creating enthusiasm and moving the team mentally
to the “next level.” Leaders open office meetings with inspiring stories while managers give
product details and operational updates.
Leaders and managers of organizations have different viewpoints on how a company runs.
20
According to an article by “Entrepreneur” magazine, leaders are the heart of a business
while managers are the brains. Leaders have a people-oriented viewpoints while managers
have a business-based thought process. Managers view work in terms of goals like, “We
must produce 50 widgets by Friday.” A leader’s viewpoint provides the organization
direction that takes the workers to the goal of producing 50 widgets by Friday.
Many successful businessmen are a combination of both manager and leader. They step in
with clear direction and practical steps as a manager. When they put on their leadership hat,
they give shape to the future and promote a can-do attitude. If possible, the best choice is to
find a leader who has the capability of fulfilling a manager role and who can tell when each
role is needed. If your organization has a clear plan, you need a manager. If the company is
too focused on daily operations and has lost sight of the dream, the best choice is a leader.
5. Controlling:

controls can include setting rules or procedures for financial transactions, employee

A business owner’s policy combines general liability and commercial
property insurance coverage to protect you against lawsuits and damages.
In one convenient package, it covers several major lawsuit risks your small
business could face, including those resulting from:
o Fire
o Theft
o Vandalism
o Some weather-related events
In addition to providing a financial backstop for your small business, a BOP also
gives you greater leverage with property managers and major customers. In many
cases, both parties want reassurance that a lawsuit won’t put you out of business.

7. Marketing Functions
44
BOP. The four P‘s will now be explained in depth, so that the data gathering and
development
Of the cases is easier.
The marketing mix has its origins in the 60's. Neil Borden (1964) identified twelve
Controllable marketing factors that could if properly managed result into a "profitable
business
Operation". Later Jerome McCarthy (1964) reduced Borden's factors to a simple four-
element framework: Product, Price, Promotion and Place. This framework was and still
is embraced by marketing managers and academics as an essential element of marketing
theory and operational marketing management (Constantine’s, 2006).and by identifying
the four P‘s as the controllable parameters likely to influence the consumer buying
process and decisions (Constantine’s, 2006), could be the first steps to further
development of a BOP marketing strategy.
45
A marketing strategy specifies a target market and a related marketing mix, and thereby
the consumer. It is the big picture of a company objective in some market. Moreover a
marketing strategy can have some different changes, because managers who embrace
the marketing concept realize that they cannot just define their line of business in terms
of the products they produce or sell. They have to think about the basic consumer needs
they serve, how those needs may change in the future and how they can improve the
value they offer to consumers. Marketing oriented managers are always looking for
attractive opportunities (Perreault, Cannon, & McCarthy, 2010).

Ratios provide the means of showing the relationship, which exists between, figures of the
Balance Sheets and Income Statements. The analysis is undertaken to assess important
characteristics of business like liquidity, solvency and profitability. A study of these aspects
enables drawing conclusions as to financial requirements and capabilities of business units.
Ratios may be classified in a number of ways to suit any particular purpose. Different kinds of
ratios are selected for different types of situations. Some of the ratios calculated for BOP are
given below.
9.1.1. LIQUIDITY RATIO:
51
Comparison gives an indication of the short-term debt paying ability of an entity. Since a bank
is also a business firm so to maintain adequate liquidity is also crucial to carry out business
activity.
Current Ratio
It is used to measure the ability of an enterprise to meet its current liabilities out of current
assets.

INTERPRETATION
The current ratio of BOP, for the year 2020, is 1.13 times of current liabilities. It is good to
meet the short-term obligations, when compared with the current ratio 2008, which is 1.09
52
times of current liabilities. The company should maintain minimum limit of current ratio for
Bank i.e.1.
Working capital compares current assets to current liabilities, and serves as the liquid reserve
available to satisfy contingencies and uncertainties. A high working capital balance is mandated
if the entity is unable to borrow on short notice. The ratio indicates the short-term liquidity of a
business and in determining if a firm can pay its current liabilities when due.

9.1.3. DEBT RATIOS / SOLVENCY RATIONS
Solvency is a company’s ability to meet its long-term obligations as they become due. An
analysis of solvency concentrates on the long-term financial and operating structure of the
business.

without endangering the interest of creditors.

INTERPRETATION
Creditors prefer low debt ratio, debt ratio shows that how much asset the company has to honor
their obligations. This ratio is increased from 0.8419 to 0.8292. This is a good for the company
because the company has 1 asset to pay 0.8292 debts.
54
9.1.4. Debt to Equity Ratio
Indicates how well creditors are protected in case of the company's insolvency. The debt to
equity is a significant measure of solvency since a high degree of debt in a capital structure may
make it difficult for the company to meet interest chargers and principal payments at maturity.

to the people but in 2019 the ratio trend is downward which not good for BOP.

In balance sheet of bank the most important item is earning assets. There are four earning
assets. Bank has strong earning assets like advances investments and lending to financial
institutions has major percentage in of assets of bank. In liability and equity analysis the
borrowing from financial institutions and deposits have major portion and reserve and share
capital has major portion in equity. Out of the three earning assets (lending to financial
institutions, advances and investments) only advances have recorded a growth while Lending’s
to financial institutions and Investments fell respectively.
Vertical analysis of profit and loss shows increase or decrease in each item as a percentage of
sales means that sales are chosen as key figure. As we have seen in the table the interest
expense is increasing with the turnover so the bank is more utilizing on expenses. Net Interest
income was 10% higher this year to Rs 37.058 billion owing to volume growth. The interest
67
earned in the 12 months of 2019 is 21% higher than that of 2019 but it was matched by more
than proportionate increase in the interest expenses, which rose by 41%. So in vertical analysis
the net interest income is decreased in 2020 as compare to 2019.
Firstly, the banks have been imposed a minimum of 5% deposit rate on all the savings schemes.
This had previously been left at the banks' discretion as to how much they have to pay. A few
of the banks have also been penalized by the SBP for acting like cartel in deposits.
Secondly, there has been other attractive scheme from the National Savings, which offered
better rates and drained the liquidity from banking sector.
Furthermore, the economy was going through high inflation, so the people were not too
optimistic about saving in banks as the money was losing its value very fast.
Administrative expenses shows decreasing trend also the profit after tax is in decreasing position during
last two years, that position in not good for the company. Only profit available for appropriation is
increasing as compare to previous years, which is 101.29% in 2020.

The horizontal analysis of the balance sheet of the bank shows that current assets increases over
the period of time, the increase in cash and decrease in loan shows that company wants to have
more cash in hand rather than lending it to others and losing the return on that investment. as for
as the fixed assets of company are concern they are showing increasing trend and same is case
with the current and long term liabilities but the increasing trend in assets is lower than the
increasing trend in liabilities which in not a good position for the bank .as shown in the table
borrowing are more increase in 2020.
The horizontal analysis of Profit & Loss account of years 2018-2020 shows a continuous
decrease in mark up, non-mark up and also there is a rapid and huge decrease in the profits in
2019. The administrative expenses have been decrease in 2019 but again it will increase in
2020.
The income after tax is decrease, which was 19% lower than the income earned in 2019. The
bank profits before tax are increasing trend, which is 18% higher than the previous year of
2019. The management of the bank gives many reasons of the radical change in profitability.
First of all, adverse economic conditions domestically, the law and order, power shortages,
record high inflation, liquidity in the banking system, steep rise in interest rates, increase in
government borrowing from the central bank, rising import bill and resulting growth in fiscal
deficit.
The interest expense is also increase in 2019-2020. The management give different reasons that
the banks have been imposed a minimum of 5% deposit rate on all the savings schemes. This
had previously been left at the banks' discretion as to how much they have to pay. A few of the
banks have also been penalized by the SBP for acting like association in deposits. Secondly,
there has been other attractive scheme from the Savings, which offered better rates and drained
the liquidity from banking sector. Furthermore, the economy was going through high inflation,
so people were not too optimistic about saving in banks as the money was losing is value very
fast. The provisions against non-performing loans were 124% higher as compared to 2018. The
advances recorded an increase because the bank was lending though very prudently due to
increasing NPLs (Non-performing loans). Along with the increase in Advances, the
composition has also changed a bit. A shift from long-term to short-term loans is observed.

9.4. Organizational Analysis With Reference To the Competitors In
Terms Of Total Assets, Total Liabilities and Total Revenue:
BOP is one of the leading Mudaraba Banks with compliant products. It has earned a good
market share in a very short span of time due to its efficient and effective management and
proactive market approach. There are a lot of its competitors in market trying to dominate its
market strength and share. Here BOP is compared with NBP and BAF in terms of its total
assets, total liabilities and total revenue etc.
Rupees in Millions
Banks 2020 2019 2020 2019 2020 2019
NBP 40,354 32,585 19,393 14,687 25,368 20,587
BAF 262693423964
21,937 17,858 15,365 12,324 2536542,
21,854 18,574
As per the table, the total assets of NBP are 40354 million in 2020 which are maximum in
volume as compared to BAL and BOP. In 2020, the total assets of BOP are 17781 which show
a positive trend as compare to 2019. Similarly the trends of all banks from 2019 to 2020 are
positive and show a good change in terms of quantity.
The volume of liabilities of NBP is higher as compared to other banks due to its extensive
branching and networking. The volume of all the banks shows positive trends from 2019 to
2020. This is because of new projects, increase in short term and long term liabilities.
The volume of NBP is high as compared to other banks like BAL and BOP in terms of quantity
due to its extensive products networking and the other reason is that because it plays the
functions as an agent of the government. BOPs volume of revenue is comparatively lower as
compared lower than its competitors. Because BOP has recently established in 2016 that’s the
reason its volume of revenue is lower.
71
BOP remains committed to the interest of all stake holders including its employees, owners,
regulators and Pakistani nation. BOP has defined strategy on where and how want to proceed in
the years to come. With the implementation of the new ‘Core Banking Package’, BOP will
completely automate its functions which in turn will appreciably enhance work efficiency. BOP
will continue to diversify customer segments thereby increasing product offering. BOP
committed towards the employee’s empowerment / development will continue BOP believe that
a motivated and well trained work force is necessary to ensure sustenance and growth. On the
business side its main focus would be to reduce non-performing loans and increase deposits.
BOP remain committed to its Vision, Mission & core values and its strategy for the future
includes recovery efforts and revival of non-performing loans, deposit mobilization,
consolidation of loans, expense management and tapping into untapped markets by increasing
our network both domestically and internationally. Customer service will remain its main focus
of Operations management.
Finally BOP extend its appreciation to the bank’s staff for their commitment, dedication and
hard work in achieving these excellent results. BOP would like to express its sincere reverence
to the Board members whose valuable guidance has always enlightened in decision making.
Finally BOP would like to express its appreciation to stakeholders, regulators and its valued
customers for their support and continued confidence in BOP.

10.1. INTERNAL ASSESSMENT
10.1.2. STRENGTH:
The Bank of Punjab has lack of staff members than the required staff
level but its performance level is high as compared with its staff level.
As a result of the compassionate and personalized services of the officers, the
clients’ perception for BOP is very high. They have trust and feel themselves to
be secure while dealing with BOP.
BOP has opened all its branches at commercial areas so that the
Customers or clients face no problems in reaching to the bank
The Bank of Punjab T.T.Singh branch is one of the busy branches in
the Deist.
The Bank of Punjab is 4 th largest branch in region according to
investment (more than 600 Million) as there are 46 branches in region.
The BOP T.T.Singh Branch is the Ist largest branch in the District as
there are four branches in the Distt.
One employee in the bank performs many duties.
All staff members are well educated i.e. they hold master’s degree
e.g.
M.com, MBA etc.
There is also improvement in corporate loans and consumer loans.
All staff members treat their account holders/general public with well
behavior.
Punjab bank T.T.Singh Branch is business wise best branch
Bank has higher level of deposits if we compare with other
banks.
Deposit wise its number is 6th in Pakistani Industry.
As it is business wise busy branch so its profit after tax has become
17% higher than previous year.
In Punjab bank, there is computerized system so performance
automatically has been increased having better results.
Compliance all risk mitigation policies and procedures. The bank’s
management realizes the necessity of existence of effective internal
controls to ensure smooth operations in current technical and swift
business environment.
The management feels confident that all internal controls procedures
are adequate to effectively and efficiently meet the operational
requirements.
Comprehensive risk management policies for credit, operational and
market risks are being implemented. Necessary steps have been taken
to ensure effective monitoring of risks and to observe compliance all
risk mitigation policies and procedures.
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.
Not excellent but good facilities are given to employees.
73
10.1.2. WEAKNESS:
Level of bad debts is improving at higher level.
There is yet no ATM machine in Punjab bank T.T.Singh Branch.
There is also lack of workplace in the Bank.
Lack of proper internal controls is one of the major weakness of BOP. It is also
pointed by the auditor in his review.
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.
I observed during my internship that some of the employees were burdened with over
work. So I think that the work should be distributed according to their post and
capabilities.
As each staff member performs many duties in one time so this
Capture extra time which can slows down the performance.
Due to lack of workplace, staff members as well as the general public
face disturbance in the bank.
There is no corporate credit department in the T.T.Singh branch.
Biased selection of employees.
74
strategic branch network extension and introduction of innovative
products in all areas of business.
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.
Great opportunity of starting Islamic banking system.
10.2.2. THREAT:
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.
Despite the difficult circumstances that confronted the banking sector in particular
and the country in general, BOP has been still highly profitable. But, the facts can’t
be denied.
And there might be an adverse impact of such situation. In recent Hamish Khan
(Previous President Fraud) is an example.
Low security, economic and political instability.
11. CONCLUSION
While making an analysis of The Bank of Punjab, as a financial institution, we
find that this institution came into existence in pursuance of Bank of Punjab
Act, 1989 passed in the legislative Assembly of Province of Punjab. In the
short span of about 15 years, it becomes the fifth largest bank in the county
with 272Branches network all over the country. I have suggested some
recommendations in the light of ratios and SWOT analysis. BOP has negative
working capital in all the three years so it is essential to increase current assets
and reduce investment in fixed assets.
75
to some spacious building so that best banking services can be offered to the bank
customers. Moreover, though the branch is automated yet required number of PCs etc.
has not been provided resultantly, the staff has to wait their turn to accomplish their
daily job. Finally there is a immediate need for ATM Machine at present
Here I am giving some suggestions, which in my view can add some input for efficiency
and better performance of BOP as an organization in general and main Branch in
Particular
In my opinion the process of a transaction should be short in order in save time for both
customers and the bank.
Staff strength should be enhanced and professional qualified persons should be
recruited.
It is recommended that proper training be provided to the staff members that will
ultimately increase the performance of Bank over all.
It is suggested that promotion be given to the staff in due time and on the basis of
performance to provide job satisfaction.
The bank should spend more on renovation of the branches to improve environment and
atmosphere to attract the customers.
Sitting arrangement, air conditioning and new furniture should be facilitated
The Bank should introduce the computers software to cope the heavy load of work and
better control.
Extra counters should be established in order to facilitate during the rush days the
difficulties faced by the bank staff as well as the customers.
All Branches of the Bank must be online.
All the departments should be established separately.
Bank can increase its profit ratio by reducing extra expenditures and to enhance the
volume of advanced especially retail loans.
I done internship, I recommend that security level in the bank should be enhanced
especially where I got internship and operation of Mobile phones must not be allowed
inside the Bank.
76
Bank should take step to establish separate counters for the old age employees and
pensioners.
The Bank should locate new market for its operational activities in the country as well
as abroad.
The Bank should increase profit rate on deposits and saving schemes especially for
pensioners and old age citizens.
For improvement of internal control and system the compliance wing and surprise
inspection system should work more effectively.
To avoid complaints and leaving the bank job number of staff should be enhanced and
their salaries should be leveled to the private/multinational banks.
Double shift system should be introduced to improve attitude and behavior of the
employees.
Payment of salaries should be made separately to accommodate the valued customers
and depositors.
For collection of utility bills i.e. Electricity bills, Telephone bills, Water and Gas bills
separate cash receipt counter must be established.
Procedure of receiving loans should be easy and short time to facilitate the borrowers
and enhance the profitability of the Bank
