BBA is a program In which we studied about business and finance. In Pakistan the
banking sector is at the maturity stage and banking sectors are the best institutes in
which we are easily understand the practical experience. BBA gives us an opportunity
to touch the practical experience about business and finance as the internship. The
internship program in an important part to give students an opportunity to have
experience of practical field. Unless and until the student experience the novelty of

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Office of the Accountant General NWFP was established on 1st April, 1929 as a
small Pay & Accounts Office and was responsible for Audit & Accounts of both
Federal and Provincial transactions in NWFP. Subsequently it was re-designated as
Comptroller, NWFP on 1st November 1931. It continued to function as such till July,
1973, when its status was raised to that of Accountant General because of the
tremendous increase in the scope of its activities and load of work.
Apart from NWFP and its adjacent Tribal Agencies, the audit jurisdiction of this
office also covered Northern Areas (Gilgit & Baltistan). The audit of Northern Areas
was, however, transferred in 1974 to the Accountant General, Pakistan Revenues
Islamabad. Similarly, in the case of Frontier Irregular Corps (Scouts & Militia), the
audit jurisdiction of this office extended to Baluchistan. But on the formation of
separate office of the Inspector General, Frontier Corps of Quetta in 1974, the audit of
the Units in Baluchistan was transferred to the Comptroller, Baluchistan.
On the formation of one Unit, the audit of two adjacent Districts in Punjab (Attock
and Mianwali) was transferred to this office from office of the Accountant General,
Punjab. Correspondingly, owing to centralization of works audit in office of the
Director, Works Audit, Lahore, the works portion was transferred from this office.
These arrangements were reversed in 1970, owing to dismemberment of One Unit.
During that period the audit of ex-States of Dir, Swat and Chitral was also taken over
by this office due to merger of these States.
The “District Accounts Office” scheme was introduced in NWFP in 1970. Initially it
was experimented in one District i.e Mardan. By now there are 24 Districts and 7
Agency Accounts Offices, in NWFP and FATA respectively.

2.6 Computerization
LEGACY SYSTEM (1983-APRIL-2003)
(PRE-SAP PHASE)
History of AG NWFP is replete with success stories and land mark achievements
especially regarding office automation. The first Computer Cell was established in
1983 with a purpose to computerize the salaries of the government servants. The cell
started functioning with “Detobe” as IT platform. The Computer Cell was manned by
a selected staff of six persons. The Computer Cell, using IBM data entry setup,
initially took over Federal Government Accounts for processing. The Computer
Center was located at PAF, Badaber as the processing activity had been out-sourced.
In the mean while the data base of the Provincial Government Accounts was also
placed at the service of the Computer Center for processing.
In 1985, the data processing activity was then shifted to Habib Bank Computer Centre
(IBM System-36) and their bureau services were utilized on payment.
In November 1985 Pay Roll computerization stared at AG NWFP (both Federal and
Provincial employees). All the Payroll data entry used to be done by Habib Bank
Limited staff on payment. The facility was later on extended first to DAO Mardan as
Pilot DAO.
In February 1994, the office become self sufficient in IT and the related human skills
and eventually the first in-house installation started with ICL as IT platform at AG
NWFP and DAO Abbotabad.
PIFRA
The land mark achievement took place in May 2003, when SAP/R03 was introduced
under the auspices of Project for Improvement in Financial Reporting and Auditing
18
(PIFRA) at AG NWFP and Abbotabad. After the initial efforts the salary for the
month of October 2003 was processed through SAP/R03.
The NWFP became the first Province to have online Accounting of all the 24 Districts
and AG, NWFP.
It progressed leaps and bounds due to the untiring and selfless efforts of officers, staff
and experts. Not only the accounts offices but the Finance Department, all the District
Finance and Planning Offices and a number of Principal Account Offices (Provincial
Departments) are interconnected.
The Departments can generate Financial and as well as employees related reports at
their own. The AG Office not only generate and compile Monthly Accounts from the
system but a number of other reports like IPSAS based Financial Statement,
Appropriation Accounts, Finance Accounts, Budget Execution Reports etc for the
benefit of the Government and the end users.
The AG Office can rightly claim to be the most modern, responsive, vibrant and
technically sound among the public sector organizations.

CHAPTER 3
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
38
DECREASE IN CASH 40998 (8275)
CASH AT THE END OF THE YEAR 55069 14071
Percentage Comparison
In the second method of horizontal analysis, percentage differences in certain items
are compared over a period of time. The absolute currency amounts are converted into
the percentages for the purpose of comparison.
From the above mentioned data which I use for horizontal analysis following are my
result about the account office for the year 2014 salary and employees benefits
increase Rs.83594 million on the other hand operating expenses also increases to
Rs.24817 million, grand and subsidiaries increases Rs.6485 million and other
transfer payment increase Rs.1673 million to improves employee satisfaction and
39
also to meeting the day to day operating expenses, physical assets increases Rs.2385
million, civil works decreases by Rs.4721,principal repayments of debt and increase
Rs.3299 million ,servicing of debt increases Rs.563 million, loan and advances

payments data is calculated. There are several reasons of increasing and decreasing
of receipt and payments accounts some are known and some are unknown primary
cause of increase and decrease is shifting of office building and record.
Horizontal analysis does not fully disclose the weaknesses or strengths of a company.
The following are the main purposes of horizontal analysis:
(1) To see the trend of various income statement and balance sheet figures of a
company.
(2) To evaluate whether the management is achieving its objectives or not.
(3) To investigate unexpected increases or decreases in financial statement items.
(4) To evaluate overall performance of the company
In a horizontal analysis the changes in income statement and balance sheet items are
computed (in dollars and percentage) and compared with the expected changes.

Interpretation of horizontal analysis
Horizontal analysis of financial statements involves comparison of a financial ratio, a
benchmark, or a line item over a number of accounting periods. This method of
analysis is also known as trend analysis. Horizontal analysis allows the assessment of
relative changes in different items over time. It also indicates the behaviour of
revenues, expenses, and other line items of financial statements over the course of
time.
Accounting periods can be two or more than two periods. Accounting period can be a
month, a quarter or a year. It will depend on the analyst’s discretion when choosing an
appropriate number of accounting periods. During the investment appraisal, the
number of accounting periods for analysis is based on the time horizon under
consideration.
Horizontal analysis of financial statements can be performed on any of the item in the
income statement, balance sheet and statement of cash flows.
Horizontal analysis can be performed in one of the following two different methods
i.e. absolute comparison or percentage comparison.
Absolute Comparison
One way of performing horizontal analysis is comparing the absolute currency
amounts of some items over the period of time.
Percentage Comparison
In the second method of horizontal analysis, percentage differences in certain items
are compared over a period of time. The absolute currency amounts are converted into
the percentages for the purpose of comparison.
42
From the above mentioned data which I use for horizontal analysis following are my
result about the account office for the year 2014 salary and employees benefits
increase Rs.83594 million on the other hand operating expenses also increases to
Rs.24817 million, grand and subsidiaries increases Rs.6485 million and other
transfer payment increase Rs.1673 million to improves employee satisfaction and
also to meeting the day to day operating expenses, physical assets increases Rs.2385
million, civil works decreases by Rs.4721,principal repayments of debt and increase
Rs.3299 million ,servicing of debt increases Rs.563 million, loan and advances
increases Rs 280 million, investments increases Rs.500 million and in the same way
payments data is calculated. There are several reasons of increasing and decreasing
of receipt and payments accounts some are known and some are unknown primary
cause of increase and decrease is shifting of office building and record.
Horizontal analysis does not fully disclose the weaknesses or strengths of a company.
The following are the main purposes of horizontal analysis:
(1) To see the trend of various income statement and balance sheet figures of a

This analysis is performed on the income statement as well as the balance sheet.
Balance Sheet
When applying this method on the balance sheet, all of the three major categories
accounts (i.e. assets, liabilities, and equity) are compared to the total assets. All of
the balance sheet items are presented as a proportion of the total assets. These
percentages are shown along with the absolute currency amounts.
Income Statement
And when applying this technique to the income statement, each of the expense is
compared to the total sales revenue. The expenses are presented as a proportion of
total sales revenue along with the absolute amounts.
Through percentage analysis following are my result about the account office salary
and employees benefits increase 146.70% while operating expenses increased
44.88% grand and subsidiaries increases 147.21% and other transfer payment
increase 25.70% to improves employee satisfaction physical assets increases
238.97%, civil works decreases by 14.23% ,principal repayments of debt and
increase24.16%,servicing of debt increases 9.89%,loan and advances increases
4.66%, investments increases 5.55% and in the same way payments data are
calculated. There are several reasons of increasing and decreasing of receipt and
payments accounts some are known and some are unknown primary cause of
increase and decrease is shifting of office building and record.
The central issue when creating a vertical analysis of a balance sheet is what to use
as the denominator in the percentage calculation. The usual denominator is the asset
total, but one can also use the total of all liabilities when calculating all liability line
45
item percentages, and the total of all equity accounts when calculating all equity line
item percentages.
SWOT ANALYSIS:
SWOT analysis is a strategic planning method used to evaluate the Strengths,
Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats involved in a project or in a business venture.
INTRODUCTION
To carryout the SWOT and financial analysis of the Account Office through the help
of calculating the horizontal analysis is a situational which includes
STRENGTHS
46
WEAKNESS
OPPORTUNITIES
THREATS
STRENGTHS:
OLDEST INSTITUTION
Alternative Duties
DAO Perform alternative duties at the time needed.
Employee Benefits
The employee of the AG. Are offered reasonable monetary benefits are given
i.e. EID-UL-FITAR AND EID-UL –AZAH.This serves as additional benefits and
competency for the source of motivation for the employee.
Broad network
It has broad bases network of branches throughout the province, also one
office in every district. The subscribers are provided services at their nearest possible
place to confirm subscriber’s satisfaction.
47
HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT
The working condition in AG office branch here is very conductive and
favorable for batter output.
RELATION BETWEEN STAFF AND EMPLOYEES
The office enjoys a good plus point when it come to the employee officer
relationship, the hearing as removing of discrepancies if any, between the employees
And between the officer and employee.
Weakness under Political Pressure
The strong political hold of some parties and Government and their
dominance is affecting the Account office in negative way They have to provide
loan under the pressure , which leads to uneven and adjusted feeling in the office
employee.
48
stress ,the employees have currently ,this would add to the strength if it were
powered by network of computers.
OPPORTUNITIES
In the organization where the weakness and also there the some opportunities
are exist. How the organization can achieve the opportunities? The opportunities are
necessary for the betterment of the organization.
Electronically work
The world today has become a global village because of advancement in the
technologies, especially in communication sectors .more emphasis is now given to
avail the modern technologies to work batter and improve their performances.
THREATS
In the organization where the opportunities are available and there also threats.
The threats can disturb the over all performance of the organization so that is the
quality of the organization how he can handle the threats of the organization and save
the goodwill of the organization. In the every organization threats are exist, the
organization faces the threats all the time.
There are fowling threats which is faces to the Accounts office
Political pressures by the elected Govt
Downsizing
49
Subscribers complaints
SUBSCRIBER’S SATISFACTION:
In district account office subscribers dealing is will, but during the rush hour
the subscribers has to wait for a long time for there turn, its quite hard for a new
subscribers or potential subscribers get the required information .
50
over all setup of the office and above all it results in dissatisfaction among subscribers
as well.
Delegation of Authority:
The District comptroller of accounts has a limited authority, he has
to take the approval from the AG Office.
ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYSIS
Job analysis is not effective
51
Only on the basis of job analysis it can be decided how a right person could be hired,
trained, compensated or promoted. It is very important for an organization that nature
of job is described and job specification is mentioned. Most of the employee simple
graduate and do not have proper background about their job.
This creates problems both for the organization and for the employees.
Lack Of Specialized Training
District accounts office does not provide adequate facility of
specialized training to their staff. Training is generalized rather than specialized. As
the worker finishes his training, he is induced into a specific field without having
great deal of knowledge about the field.
52
CHAPTER 4
FINDINGS & RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1 Findings
During the internship, I have observed that employees are not much empowered to
take many of the decisions. They have to take approval from higher authorities for
any kind of proceedings.
Office structure follows strict rules and regulations. They work upon set procedures
and can exercise the power only in their domain and that too even very little.
Employees only know their own seat work, they know least about what’s going on in
the other departments of the office. They are trained to their routine schedule and are
resistant to change their procedures and work environment.
Leg pulling is common in almost all the government offices. Everyone tries to
plagiaries the work performed by other person.
DAO staff lacks the professionalism. They lack the necessary training to do
the job efficiently and properly.
Although staff colleges are there in all major cities but they are not performing
well. For this purpose these staff colleges should be recognized and their
syllabus should be made in such a way to help to the employee to understand
the ever changing global economic scenario.
Employees of the DAO should be given a task and authority and they should
be asked for their responsibility.
53
Transfer is not properly carried out. Some employees are continually serving
at the same post. They are simply rotated at the same office. Therefore it is
recommended that evenly rotation of every employee should take place after
every three years in different district.
There should not be any abrupt policies by the upper management, as this
practice hurts the subscriber’s confidence in the Accounts Office.
I would like to suggest that at least all the Districts of the Accounts offices
should be fully computerized in order to expedite the dealing process among
the all ADO and their subscribers. Every DAO and ADAO and all the
employees must be familiar with the software being used in the office for the
accounting system.
Daily records should be entered directly into these computers. It will not only
reduce transaction time but will increase the accuracy and efficiency.
Moreover, it will be economical and will also reduce the extra burden of work
at the disposal of every employee. It will also help in reducing the use of
excessive paper work.
There are number of employees who are serving one seat for many years. It
can have a negative effect on the motivation of employees who are hard
working and intelligent.
54
There should be an information desk to provide the information and to receive
the complaints of the subscriber in the office. Moreover a website should be
maintained by the office through which it can handle the complaints as every
person can not go to the office. So it is suggested to management to install a
Complaint box and recruit a special person for that guidance of the subscriber
when they are unable mange some difficulties in office matter.
