ABOUT MCB

MCB is one of the leading banks of Pakistan with a deposit base of about Rs. 280 billion and total assets of around Rs.300 billion. Incorporated in 1947, MCB soon earned the reputation of a solid and conservative financial institution managed by expatriate executives. In 1974, MCB was nationalized along with all other private sector banks. This led to deterioration in the quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio and service quality. Eventually, MCB was privatized in 1991. During the last fifteen years, the Bank has concentrated on growth through improving service quality, investment in technology and people, utilizing its extensive branch network, developing a large and stable deposit base and managing its non-performing loans via improved risk management processes.

ROLE OF THE FINANCIAL MANAGER

Financial manager is concerned with acquisition financing and management of assets

with

some

overall

goals

in

mind

The financial manager of MCB bank limited like all other financial manager has responsibility to make decision about three major areas. 

Investment decision



Financing decision



Asset management decision

Investment decision: The investment decision is the most important decision of the bank s three major decisions. Ali Munir Chief financial officer of Muslim commercial bank limited begins with determination of total amount of assets needed to be held by the bank. In 2007 total assets are 410,485,517,000 and the amount, which is invested in different areas, is 113,089,261,000.

Financing: The second major decision of any organization is financing decision. Financial manager of MCB view dividend policy as an integral part of bank s financing decision. Dividend payout ratio determines the amount of earning that can be retained in the firm. Retained a greater amount of the current earnings in the firm means that the fewer dollars will be available for current dividends payments. The value of dividends paid to the shareholder must therefore be balanced against the opportunity cost of retained earnings cost as means of equity financing. Financial manager know the mechanics of short-term loans, entering into the long-term arrangement or negotiating a sale of bond or stock.

36

Asset management decision: The third important decision of any organization is assets management decision. Once the assets have been acquired and appropriate financing provided these assets must still be managed efficiently. The financial manager is charged with varying degrees of operating responsibility requires that the financial manager be more concerned with management of current assets then with that of fixed assets. A large share of responsibilities for management of fixed assets would reside with operating manager who employs these assets.

CHAPTER NO. 4

4.1 CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF MCB BANK IN

THE LIGHT OF

PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE

Internship gives me the exposure to the world by meeting and dealing with the different kind of people every day, which has given boost to my confidence and experience. So first of you enter in to any organization for Internship/or for job most important thing is your communication skill. So which thing helped me and boosts my confidence was communication skill. As we have studied in our course about the communication skills and presentations during MBA gave me the confidence to speak with the employees and customers and communicate effectively and efficiently with the customers.

Similarly as in marketing we told about the importance of the customer I observed it in my internship. In my observation I have seen how the Manager and other employees deal the customers. And as a student it was best opportunity for us to study the behavior of the employees inside the organization, their dealing with the customers and relationship between them and employees as all these things we only studied in the Organization Behavior and Human Resource Management. We can say that internship is basically the practical implementation of the entire theoretical course which we have studied during our course of MBA.

RATIOS ANALYSIS: Liquidity Ratios Liquidity ratios measure the short-term solvency of a firm. Liquidity ratios present the picture of the ability of the firm to pay its short-term obligations. The ratio holds different meaning for creditors and owners of the firm. For owner, high liquidity means inefficiency of the management and vice versa, while high liquidity of the firm is considered favorable by the creditors as they see it as that the firm can pay their obligations and vice versa. Following are most common type of liquidity ratios used by analysts to determine the liquidity of the firm. 1.

Current Ratio:

The current ratio measures the number of items of the firm s current assets cover its current liabilities. The current ratio should be part of your business' basic financial planning, meaning it should be tracked monthly or quarterly. By keeping a close eye on this figure, you will recognize if it begins to get out of line. This will allow you to take early action to prevent your business from ending up in a difficult position.

Analysis of current ratios of MCB: Current ratio shows a firm’s ability to cover its current liabilities with its current assets. It is obtained by dividing current assets of the firm by its current liabilities. Current ratio of 1 or higher means that the firm can pay all its current liabilities from its current assets, while a value less than 1 means that the firm will be unable to pay its current liabilities completely by its current assets. A lower value means aggressive approach of the management toward business, but has opposite meaning for creditors, who don’t like aggressive approaches of the management. In MCB bank limited 2006s current ratio is strong than other four years. It shows that this year’s liabilities could be recovered with its assets. After 2006, a bank has maintained good current ratio in 2007 but 2003 and 2004 has weak current ratio because the difference between assets and liabilities decreased in these years. Current ratio does not show the true picture of the organization. Sometimes it shows that organization has ability to pay its obligations but its profitability ratio tells that it has not ability to pay its obligation. But still it is very useful for the analysts especially for the creditors. 2.

Quick ratios:

Quick ratio shows a firm’s ability to meets it current liabilities with its current assets excluding inventories and prepaid expenses, which are least liquid portion of the current assets. Since banks don’t have any sorts of inventories, therefore only prepaid expenses are subtracted from the current assets of the bank. This is an important planning tool, especially for businesses that can tie up a lot of assets in inventory. By tracking it monthly, management can keep an eye out for negative trends that could hamper their business' ability to meet its obligations. Quick ration can also use to evaluate the financial health of potential customers, since it also indicates whether a business can pay off its debts quickly. A firm with a low quick ratio may be more likely to delay payments because its assets are tied up elsewhere. Current assets - inventories divided by current liabilities

There is decrease in 2004 2005 and 2006 in the mark up/return/interest expense because return on deposits is very low due to the low rates on deposits. Return on subordinated loans is satisfied that was the reason of the reason of decline in the return on expense. Again increase in 2007 because rate on deposits increased in 2007.

SHORTFALLS/ WEAKNESSES IN THE ORGANIZATION

Following are the shortfall/ weakness in the organization as per my opinion:

Manual Book-Keeping: Although the bank has computerized accounting system but, still the bankers use to make their entries in the accounting register.

Low Job Satisfaction: Understanding and the effective management of the human resources is the most difficult challenge faced not only by the bank but by all the organizations. Even though the people have been sacrificed in the new organizational developments, it is becoming clear that the true lasting competitive advantage comes through human resources and how they are managed. MCB seems to not focusing on this highly critical issue as the job satisfaction level of the employees working at MCB, was quite low.

Lack Of Specialization: This famous and useful concept given by Adam Smith in 1776 seems to be missing in the bank. The employees are constantly rotated from one job to another job of totally different characteristic in the view of giving them the know-how of the working in all the departments. But I think this is not a very good tactics used by the management. Otherwise the situation might be like this ‘Jack of all and master of none.’

Centralization: There is a high degree of centralization in the bank. Almost all the decision-making is in the hands of the upper management. But centralization is effective up to a certain level otherwise it becomes inefficient and at times costly too. I personally

93

observed that delay occurred in the operations of the employees only due to the fact that they had not got any instructions from the head office.

Lack Of Training Facilities: Presently there is no specific training program arranged for the new recruiters. They have to learn based on their observations and also their mistakes. It takes a bit time for the fresh one to learn the banking the result is huge amount of blunders, mistakes etc. resulting in monetary and non-monetary losses for the bank. There is pressure not only on the new learner but also on the person placed upon with this responsibility.

High charges: The schedules of charges indicate that the fees charged by the bank on the various services it provides are extremely high. It may result in decrease in the number of its exiting customers. Further more, this could be very alarming situation for the bank in case some of the competitors grasped the opportunity and lowered its rates. The result would be either the lost of market share or decrease in the charges resulting in lowering the bank’s income.

Less attractive rate of return: Commercial banks face considerable competition in attracting deposits from individuals or small investors. In contrast, the Govt. of Pakistan national saving scheme offers attractive rates of return (approx. 16 to 18 percent annually) on 10-15 year fixed accounts, which banks find difficult to match.

Stiff Competition: MCB is currently facing strict competition from the foreign banks especially the American who banks enjoy a good market position. Collectively U.S. banks hold approximately 9 percent of all commercial banks' assets. At present, three American banks are operating in Pakistan: American Express Bank; Bank of America and Citibank.

94

Less Experienced Staff:

Owing to huge turnover of the employees, the no. of experienced and well trained staff is very low. Majority of the staff working in the bank branches is quite young and inexperienced. If the bank failed to bring down its high employees turnover, then it would be lacking the most important resources of any organization i.e. the experienced staff.

95

CONCLUSION The emerging banks of the private sector of Pakistan like MCB have proven to be helpful in improving the overall economy of Pakistan. MCB has been declared 07 times “Euromony award” and “Asia Money Award” for the last five years, which is a very big achievement for Pakistan. Muslim Commercial Bank is heading towards the right direction and it possesses the necessary potential to improve in all of its sectors. Thus Muslim Commercial Bank Limited is one of the best banks of Pakistan.

96

RECOMMENDATIONS First of all, the management needs to overlook the major problems that the organization is currently facing and then develop strategies to eradicate them. Some of the suggestions that I would like to give at the end are: 

MCB Bank can improve its Marketing strategies to acquire more promotion and mass media publicity by the use of effective channels of promotions like TV, Newspaper Advertisements. It can also improve its magazine publication that it releases each month.



In order to compete in the ever-expanding market both nationally and internationally, introducing new and efficient products is one of its major requirements.



Centralized Structure that enables employee involvement needs to be formed.



Better reward system is one of the most important requirements in order to reduce the problem of Employee retention and improve Employee motivation.



There is lack of proper and continuous training of employees that needs to be solved.



Creation of enhanced performance appraisal system.



Proper use of stationary.



Implementation of enhanced Marketing system.



Job rotation for employees.



There should be more parking place outside the branch for the convenience of clients.



There should be cold drinking water facility separately available at each section.



Common room for working ladies is very much essential in each floor so that they may offer prayers conveniently.



Canteen facility needs to be improved.
