PREFACE
Internship is the integral and basic requirement of all business study programs.
Because it is the practical implication of theoretical knowledge which we have
been taught in our business subjects to gain further knowledge and experience
about professional business activities.
It equips us with the necessary knowledge, skills and values of business culture
which are basic requirement of the business professional and which also helps

My Internship report contains all the knowledge which I have learnt there.

Because the resolution regime grants the Bank powers to affect the property rights of
shareholders, creditors and counterparties, the Act sets out the objectives which the Bank must
have regard to when resolving a firm. These are to:
ensure the continuity of banking services in the United Kingdom and of critical functions;
protect and enhance the stability of the financial system of the United Kingdom;
protect and enhance public confidence in the stability of the financial system of the
United Kingdom;
The Bank must consider each of these objectives when choosing which tools to use and in
resolving a firm, but they are not ranked in any particular order.

Commercial banks have to make decisions about the amount of capital they need to hold
for three reasons. First, bank capital helps bank failure, a situation in which the bank
cannot satisfy its obligations to pay its depositors and other creditors and so goes out of
business. Second the amount of capital affects returns for the owners of the bank.. And
third, a minimum amount of bank capital(bank capital requirements)is required by
regulatory authorities.
2. Asset and liability Management:
Asset management involves a commercial bank in acquisition of assets that have a low
rate of default and diversification of asset holdings to increase profit. On the other hand,
liability management means acquisition of funds at low cost to increase profits. Prudent
management of funds has been the underlying principle of Bank Asias operations. This
bank is almost balanced in managing asset and liability portfolios. The bank has increased
its deposits to tk.18, 500 million in 2005 from tk.13,471 million in the previous year. The
Loans and advances during the period increased to tk.17,870 million in 2005 from
tk.11,861 in the previous year.
3. Liquidity Management:
A commercial bank makes decision to maintain sufficient liquid assets to meet the banks/
obligation to depositors. The Bank has an Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) which is
responsible for managing short-term and long-term liquidity and ensuring that the Bank
has adequate liquidity at all times at optimal funding cost. ALCO reviews liquidity
requirement of the Bank, the maturity of assets and liabilities, deposit and lending pricing
strategy and the liquidity contingency plan. The Asset Liability Committee also monitors
Balance Sheet risk. The Balance Sheet risk is defined as potential changes in earnings due
to change in rate of interest, exchange rates, which are not of trading nature.
4. Treasury Operations:
Bank of Bangladesh has been participating in the local money market as well as foreign
currency market in a prudent way. The Banks investment treasury bills and other
securities is tk.2257 million. An amount of tk.1104 million was placed at call and short
notice as of end 2005 against previous years 990 million.
5. Internal Control:
The internal control system of the bank is designed to ensure that all the units operate
within rules set by the regulatory authorities and Banks own policies and regulations.
Measures are taken to ensure that ethical standards are maintained, accounting rules and
procedures are observed, and efficiency in business process and safeguarding of assets are
ensured. the Stelar Banking Software sets the periphery within which department heads
and branch managers can operate. In line with our objective towards prevention of money
laundering all the relevant departments are instructed to be vigilant, to prevent such
activities, and regular workshops are held in this regard.
6. Risk management:
Bangladesh Bank believes that risk is an integral part of its business and the main role of
their risk management principle is to find the optimal balance between risk and return.
Bangladesh Bank has undertaken a project to install a Core Risk Management System in
every bank. They are in the process of installing the same in respect to Asset liability
Management, Credit Risk management, Foreign exchange risk management, internal
control and compliance and Anti money laundering. The Bank also controls asset
allocation through limiting exposure to industry sector and setting client limit. Maturity
grouping of asset and liability is also monitored to ensure that the banks portfolio remain
within acceptable risk. The business intelligence reports generated by Stelar Software
allow better and more effective monitoring of loan portfolio than before.
Types of risks associated with banking operations are shown below:
A) Credit Risk:
Credit risk is one of the major risks faced by the Bank. This can be described as potential
loss arising from the failure of a counter party to perform with agreed terms with the
Bank. To assess and to mitigate the credit risk, the management has implemented CRM
manual, which is considered an important tool for retaining the assets quality performing.
Therefore, Banks credit risk management functions have been designed to address all
these issues including risk arises from global changes. The Bank has segregated duties of
the officers/ executives engaged in the credit related activities. A separate department has
been formed at Corporate Office which is entrusted with the tasks of maintaining
effective relationship with the customers, marketing of credit products, exploring new
business opportunities, etc. Moreover, credit approval, administration, monitoring and
recovery functions have been segregated. For this purpose, three separate units have been
formed within the Credit Department. These are (i) Credit Risk Management Unit, (ii)
Credit Administration Unit and (iii) Credit Monitoring and Recovery Unit.
B) Foreign Exchange Risk:
Foreign exchange risk is defined as the potential change in earnings arising due to
unfavorable change in exchange rates. The foreign exchange risk of the Bank is minimal
as all the transactions are carried out on behalf of the customers against L/C commitments
and other remittance requirements. No speculative dealing on Banks account was
conducted during the year. Treasury front office conducts deal for commercial purpose
and back office of treasury keeps record and pass entries in books of account. The main
risks in treasury and foreign exchange are exchange rates risk, fund management and
liquidity risk. As per Bangladesh Banks guidelines, the Treasury Department was
operationally and physically divided into front office and back office to mitigate the risk.
Separate telephone and fax lines were installed at the dealing room to meet Bangladesh
Banks guidelines.
C) Money Laundering Risk:
Money laundering risk is defined as the loss of reputation and expenses incurred as
penalty for being negligent in prevention of money laundering. For mitigating the risks,
the Bank has nominated a Chief Compliance Officer at Corporate Office and Branch
Compliance Officers at branches, who independently review the transactions in the
accounts to verify suspicious transactions. Know Your Customer (KYC) policy and
Transaction Profile (TP) format has been introduced. The regulatory requirements are
being complied with and the guidelines in respect of KYC are followed for opening of
new accounts. Training has been providing continuously to all the category of officers and
executives for developing awareness and skill for identifying suspicious activities.
In addition, the President & Managing Director has provided a Message on Anti Money
Laundering (AML) policy. The management has circulated a Customer Acceptance Policy
to the members of the staff for guidance.
Internal Control and Compliance Risk:
Operational loss may arise from errors and omissions, fraud and forgeries due to lack of
proper internal control and compliance culture. Management through the Internal Control
and Compliance Department ensures controls in all operational areas of the Bank. Internal
Control and Compliance Department undertakes periodical and special audit and
inspection of the branches and departments at Corporate Office for identifying and
reviewing the operational lapses and compliance of statutory requirements as well as
Banks own guidelines. The Audit Committee of the Board also reviews the Audit and
Inspection reports of the Internal Control and Compliance Department. The Bank has
introduced Risk Based Internal Audit (RBIA) and audit rating over its branches from
2006 and prepared comprehensive audit manual which have been approved by the Board
of Directors.

import goods. 18.98 percent out of total import has been imported from China. Second
and third positions are India 13.85 percent and Malaysia 6.15 percent respectively.
Analyzing the category of imported goods, it is observed that, import payment of capital
machinery, industrial raw materials decreased by 38.75 percent, 35.52 percent
respectively and the major import payment of consumer goods decreased by 36.27
percent. The remittances played a vital role in expediting economic development of the
country including reducing unemployment problem, poverty alleviation, boosting up the
foreign currency reserve. The lion share of the foreign remittance comes from the
countries of Middle East. In this regard, Saudi Arabia has been in top position for the last
couple of years. Yet, recently, the inflow of remittance has increased from Malaysia,
Singapore, UK, and some other countries. To explore new manpower export markets, the
government has undertaken several steps through diplomatic initiatives alongside
establishing new labor wings in several countries. There is also an attempt to impart
training on various trades to create skilled labor force to meet the demand of labor
markets abroad.

Here total deposits are increasing from year to year. So I can say that overall function of
deposit collection is better. In the prevailing situation, mobilization of deposits became
highly competitive and hence cost of fund would increase compared to the previous year.
CHAPTER-5
AN FOCUS ON DIFFERENT KINDS OF FOREIGN EXCHANGE
OPERATIONS UNDERTAKEN BY AGRANI BANK LIMITED
Learnings through task:
During my three months period of internee I have learnt about different foreign exchange
operations which are carried out by ABL.A short focus area of my learning is highlighted
below:
5.1 Definition of Foreign Exchange:
Foreign exchange is a process which converts one national currency into another and
transfer money from one country to other countries. According to Mr. H. E. Evit,
Foreign exchange is that section of economic science which deals with the means and
method by which right to wealth in one countrys currency are converted into right to
wealth in term of another countrys currency. It involves the investigation of the method
by which the currency of one country is exchanged for that of another, the cause which
rented such exchange necessary.
I.FDBC: If the export document is not purchase by ABL, it is called foreign documentary
bill collection. At the maturation data of export bill, ABL collects the payment for party.
The collection process is same as LDBC. Only the postage charge is high. The postage
charge is Tk. 800 within SAARC countries within Asia Tk.1500 and outside Asia is Tk.
2000.
II. FDBP: If the exporter need money before that the maturation of export document. He/
She can sale it to ABL. It is called foreign documentary bill purchase.
A detail section of Foreign Exchange operations of agrani bank is provided in the later
part of the report.
reasonable care to ascertain whether they confirm with the terms of the credit, the bank
may negotiate and pay the value of export bill to the exporter.
profitable for a country to specialized in the production of that commodity in which the
producers has the greater comparative advantage and to allow the other country to
produce that commodity in which it has the lesser comparative advantage. In order to
conduct foreign exchange operation systematically and methodically the Foreign
Exchange Regulation (FER) Act, 1947 enacted on the 11th march 1947 for regulating
receipts and payments and dealings in the foreign exchange and securities. Basic
regulations for conducting foreign exchange operation are issued by the Government as
well as by the Bangladesh Bank.

CHAPTER-6
ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS
6.1. Analysis related with Foreign Exchange Operations of Agrani Bank:
Strengths
Weaknesses
Opportunities andThreats.
SWOT is an acronym for the internal strength and weakness of a firm and the
environmental Opportunities the firm is facing. So if we consider Agrani Bank as a
business firm and analyze its strength, weakness, opportunity and threat the scenario will
be as follows:
1. Strengths:
2. Weaknesses:
3. Opportunities:
4. Threats:
Upcoming Banks/Branches.
Different services of FCBS (Phone Banking/Home Banking).
Similar products are offered by other banks.
Default Loans.
Financial Crisis.
Existing card services of Standard Chartered Bank or other private Bank.
Daily basis interest on deposit offered by HSBC.
Entrance of new PCBs.
Government has been controlling industrial credit.
Recession of global economy.
Intensification of competition in the industry.
business units are growing rapidly, they do have the potential to turn into stars.
Companies are advised to invest in question marks if the product has potential for growth,
or to sell if it does not.
As BCG founder Bruce Henderson wrote in 1968, "all products eventually become either
cash cows or pets [dogs]. The value of a product is completely dependent upon obtaining
a leading share of its market before the growth slows."
Once a company plots out its matrix, it can begin to further analyze its products potential.
Understanding cash flow:
To understand the elements of the Agrani Bank Ltd., companies should be mindful of the
sources of cash flow. Henderson wrote that four rules are responsible for product cash
flow:
Margins and cash generated are a function of market share. High margins and high
market share go together.
Growth requires cash input to finance added assets. The added cash required to
hold share is a function of growth rates.
High market share must be earned or bought. Buying market share requires an
additional increment or investment.
No product market can grow indefinitely. The payoff from growth must come
when the growth slows, or it never will. The payoff is cash that cannot be
reinvested in that product.
Figure-1
Current Ratio:
The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures a company's ability to pay short-term
and long-term obligations. To gauge this ability, the current ratio considers the current
total assets of a company (both liquid and illiquid) relative to that companys current total
liabilities.
The formula for calculating a companys current ratio, then, is:
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
The current ratio is called current because, unlike some other liquidity ratios, it
incorporates all current assets and liabilities.
The current ratio is also known as the working capital ratio.
Interpretation:
Here current ratio is 0.11163 in 2009, 0.17023 in 2008, and 0.08942 in 2007.But the
Industry average is 4.1 x s. So it is the poor performance of Agrani Bank.
Figure-2
Fixed Asset Turnover:
The fixed-asset turnover ratio is, in general, used by analysts to measure operating
performance. It is a ratio of net sales to fixed assets. This ratio specifically measures how
able a company is to generate net sales from fixed-asset investments, namely property,
plant and equipment (PP&E), net of depreciation. In a general sense, a higher fixed-asset
turnover ratio indicates that a company has more effectively utilized investment in fixed
assets to generate revenue.
The fixed-asset turnover ratio is calculated as:
Interpretation:
Here fixed asset turnover ratio is 57.73 in 2009, 58.02 in 2008 and 54.68 in 2007. The
industry average is 4.0 xs so it is the high performance of agrani bank
Figure-3
Total Asset Turnover:
Total Asset turnover ratio is the ratio of the value of a companys sales or revenues
generated relative to the value of its assets. The Asset Turnover ratio can often be used as
an indicator of the efficiency with which a company is deploying its assets in generating
revenue. This Ratio is calculated byAsset Turnover = Sales or Revenues / Total Assets
Interpretation:
Here total asset turnover is 0.78 in 2009, 0.78 in 2008, and 0.72 in 2007.And the industry
average is 2.1 xs so the performance of this sector is low.
Figure-4
A financial ratio that measures the extent of a company or consumers leverage. The debt
ratio is defined as the ratio of total long-term and short-term debt to total assets,
expressed as a decimal or percentage. It can be interpreted as the proportion of a
companys assets that are financed by debt.
Interpretation:
Here Debt Ratio is 1.87 in 2009, 1.97 in 2008, and 1.80 in 2007. Here debt ratio is
decrease in 2009.And it under controlled. Because the industry average is 4.50 percent.
Figure-5
Times interest Earned
Times interest earned (TIE) is a metric used to measure a company's ability to meet its
debt obligations. The formula is calculated by taking a company's earnings before interest
and taxes (EBIT) and dividing it by the total interest payable on bonds and other
contractual debt. TIE indicates how many times a company can cover its interest charges
on a pretax earnings basis.
BREAKING DOWN 'Times Interest Earned - TIE'
Failing to meet these obligations could force a company into bankruptcy. TIE is also
referred to as the interest coverage ratio.
Figure-6
Profit Margin Ratio:
Profit margin is part of a category of profitability ratios calculated as net income divided
by revenue, or net profits divided by sales. Net income or net profit may be determined by
subtracting all of a companys expenses, including operating costs, material costs
(including raw materials) and tax costs, from its total revenue. Profit margins are
expressed as a percentage and, in effect, measure how much out of every dollar of sales a
company actually keeps in earnings. A 20% profit margin, then, means the company has a
net income of $0.20 for each dollar of total revenue earned. While there are a few
different kinds of profit margins, including gross profit margin, operating margin, (or
"operating profit margin") pretax profit margin and net margin (or "net profit
margin") the term profit margin is also often used simply to refer to net margin. The
method of calculating profit margin when the term is used in this way can be represented
with the following formula:
Interpretation:
In 2009 there profit margin was 3.57 percent, 4.31percent in 2008, and 3.86 percent in
2007.In three years their profit margin on deposits was higher in 2008 but the industry
average is 4.7 percent so here their performance is low.
Figure-7
Return on Assets:
Return on assets (ROA) is an indicator of how profitable a company is relative to its total
assets. ROA gives an idea as to how efficient management is at using its assets to
generate earnings. Calculated by dividing a company's annual earnings by its total assets,
ROA is displayed as a percentage. Sometimes this is referred to as "return on investment".
The formula for return on assets (ROA) is:
Interpretation:
Here Return on total asset for Agrani Bank was 3.04 percent in 2009, 3.37 percent
in2008, 2.82 percent in2007. So in 2008 there performance is high. The industry average
is 12.6%. The performance is ok. If their return on total asset is higher than 12.6% so
there performance is low.
Figure-8
MARKET/BOOK:
The book-to-market ratio is a ratio used to find the value of a company by comparing the
book value of a firm to its market value. Book value is calculated by looking at the firm's
historical cost, or accounting value. Market value is determined in the stock market
through its market capitalization.
Formula:
Interpretation:
Here a small different in 2009 and 2008. 2008 and 2007 was some ratio. Here the
industry average is 2.0xs. So in this section the performance of ABL was low. This ratio
is smaller than the industry average.

have online system. It is the poor management system of ABL. In IT section they have no
IT manager so IT performance is very poor, many employee have no skill about IT
section. So this is the reason that people cannot open account in ABL.
CHAPTER-7:
Recommendations and Conclusion:
7.1 Recommendation:
By identifying few of the previously mentioned problems during my internship, from the
SWOT analysis and Ratio analysis I would like to recommend some way to overcome
those problems. These are as follows:
7.1.1 On clearing & cleaning up the local remittance sections:
ABL should make a database to maintain their registry records in to the
Computer. So by only giving a search command they may find out their required
clearing information.
ABL should open their branches in the business area like near EPZ, port etc to
provide prompt services to importer and exporter.
Local L/C is not introduced in our society very much. ABL can give attention to
attract
local businessman for convincing them about local L/C.
Where computer leads every sphere of lives including banking activities most of
the
ABLs employees are still not expert on computer literacy. So for it, the
management
should give computer training to their employees.
They may make a database or search for other solution to prepare their debit and
credit voucher. As by adopting a better solution will make their work easier.
Prompt attention should be given to the FDR customers if the bank does not want
to lose new customers.
7.1.2
Agrani Bank should always monitor the performance of its competitors in the field of
foreign trade.
For customer's convenience in Foreign Exchange Department of Agrani Bank Ltd.
should provide more personnel to deliver faster services to their honorable customer.
To deliver quality service, top management should try to mitigate the gap between
customer's expectation and employee's perception.
The number of exporter and importer who operate through this bank is not enough to
achieve the goal. So ABL should offer more facilities to attract them to be their client.
Foreign exchange department should be fully computerized that the exchange process
would be convenient for both the bankers and the clients.
The Bank should give more concentration of foreign remittance to increase profit from
the remittance. Though the remittance performance of ABL for the last year (2012)
was very bad so the performance and profit should increase year by year.
Though the import and export business increased year by year, but the banks income
growth rate very much fluctuated during the last five years except year of 2012. So the
bank should try to sustain a constant growth rate.
The export business of the bank is on an increasing trend. So the bank should try to
keep the pace of growth.
Bank should try to increase earning from export. It should concentrate more effort to
improve export earnings and remittance earnings for our economy.
The import performance is little bit lower in the year of 2012 compared to others years,
so the bank should try to put more concentration for the amount of import.
The export earnings growth rate and import earning growth rate were very much
fluctuated during the last five years. So bank should try to keep a constant growth rate.
The number of human resources in the remittance department is really insufficient to
give services to huge volume of work. So, number of staff should be increased in this
department.
7.2 Conclusion:
Agrani Bank Limited is a leading Public bank in Bangladesh with superior customer
bases that are loyal, faithful, worthy towards the bank. The service provided by the young
energetic officials of the Agrani Bank Limited is very satisfactory. Form the learning and
experience point of view I can say that I really enjoyed my internship period in Agrani
Bank Ltd. at Jatiya Jadughar Branch from the very first day. I am confident that this 3
(three) months internship program will definitely help me to realize my further carrier in
the job market. During the course of my practical orientation, I have tried to learn the
practical banking to relate it with my theoretical knowledge, what I have gathered and
going to acquire from various courses.
Many new commercial banks have been established in the last few years and these banks
have made the banking sector very competitive. So, now the banks have to organize their
operation and do their operations according to the need of the market.
The major task for banks, to survive in this competitive environment is by managing its
assets and liabilities in an efficient way. As an internee student of Agrani Bank Ltd at
Hatkhola Branch, I have truly enjoyed my internship from the side of learning to the side
of experiences viewpoint. I am confident that three month internship program in Agrani
Bank Limited will definitely help me to realize career in the job market. But during my
intern period it was not much possible for me to go to the depth of branches sections
thoroughly because of the time limitations. Agrani Bank Limited (ABL) is one of the
widely expanded Banks in Bangladesh. Due to the threat of deposit shortage, this Bank
may minimize its different types of unnecessary expenditure and should maximize profit
through launching new schemes and obtain different peoples belief. I do also believe
that all of these will assist me further in my career build-up in the future.
ABL is committed to provide high quality financial service to contribute to the growth of
G.D.P. of the country through simulation trade and commerce, accelerating the pace of
industrialization, boosting up export, creating employment opportunity for the educated
youth, poverty alleviation, raising standard of living of limited income group and overall
sustainable socio-economic development of the country.
I also think that there is bright future waiting for the Agrani Bank Ltd. Near future ABL
will be a position to go as a catalyst for this development in the banking sector of
Bangladesh. Another thing I have to mention here that ABL is going through the path in
which they need to go as like today and it will bring more new and welfare oriented
activities in the banking sector in years to come.
Performance analysis of foreign exchange of a bank is not so sufficient to measure and
express perfectly within this short time of my internship period. But it is a great
opportunity for me to get used to with the operational environment of foreign exchange
business of ABL. I have tried by soul to incorporate the necessary relevant information in
my report.
At last I would like to conclude that as a student of BBA I had to undertake this training
program to fulfill the partial requirement of the BBA program. I have tried to the best of
my capacity to prepare and submit this report within a very short period of time. I am
highly pleased being able to make a report on this kind of program. If there is any kind of
error kind consideration is requested.
