I have learned a lot from this organization. I have done my work of internship in
R & D Cell for first three weeks, one week in Membership department, one in

me, in order to collect important information required for this report. Whenever I go,
they received me with warm welcome and helped us in all matters. Their cooperation
provided me comfortable environment for data collection. I have conducted face to face
interviews with staff members. I have also observed the whole organizational
environment.
I have felt many discrepancies, like non segregation of duties, dose not have
required staff & faced many other challenges in the industrial sector due to energy
crisis, political & other challenges which become the grater hurdle in the way to promote
the industries smoothly. I concluded from my internship that GCCI is running as a good
organization and has solid records throughout its life period & providing many benefits
to its employees. To overcome the discrepancies, I recommended to the GCCI
management to segregate the duties, hire the required staff & introducing new
departments.

Financial AnalysisFinancial Analysis
Financial Analysis means Financial Statement Analysis. Financial statement
analysis is basically is the process of examining relationships among financial statement
elements and making comparisons with relevant information. It is a valuable tool used by
the users of Financial Statements like, investors and creditors, financial analysts, and
others in their decision-making processes related to stocks, bonds, and other financial
instruments. The goal in analyzing financial statements is to assess past performance &
current financial position and to make predictions about the future performance of a
company.
Different users like, Investors who buy stock are primarily interested in a
company's profitability and their prospects for earning a return on their investment by
receiving dividends and/or increasing the market value of their stock holdings. Creditors
and investors who buy debt securities, such as bonds, are more interested in liquidity and
solvency: the company's short-and long-run ability to pay its debts. Financial analysts,
who frequently specialize in following certain industries, routinely assess the
profitability, liquidity, and solvency of companies in order to make recommendations
about the purchase or sale of securities, such as stocks and bonds.
Analysts can obtain useful information by comparing a company's most recent
financial statements with its results in previous years and with the results of other
companies in the same industry.

as percentages of a common base figure like Sales in Income Statement & Total Assets
in Balance Sheet. All other accounts on the financial statement are
compared to it. In the balance sheet, for example, total assets equal
100%. Each asset is stated as a percentage of total assets. Similarly,
total liabilities and stockholders' equity are assigned 100% with a
given liability or equity account stated as a percentage of the total
liabilities and stockholders' equity. For the income statement, 100% is
assigned to net sales with all revenue and expense accounts related to
it. .
This is also called “Static Analysis”, as it based on data of one year only rather
than data from year to year. Under vertical analysis, the statements showing
the percentages are referred to as Common Size Financial Statements.

Interpretation Statement of Financial Positions:Interpretation Statement of Financial Positions:
The Vertical analysis of 2009, 2008 & 20007 is compared to the previous year’s
figures. As the total non current assets are significantly increase by 50.79% as compared
29.28%these are reduce in 2008 but now significantly increase show a good sign for
GCCI. But Cash & Bank balances of the GCCI are significantly decreased by 19.98% as
compared to 44.47% of the 20008 comparison & the current assets are decreased by
49.21% as compared to positive 70.71% which is increase from previous year but great
fall again. The overall total assets of the GCCI are also decreased in 2008-09 as
compared to previous year.
The Capital fund which is funds used for all the purposes of GCCI is also reduced
by 98.46% as compared to the previous year which is 99.05% positive. The Liabilities of
the GCCI is also increased significantly increased by 1.54% as compared to 0.94%. So,
the more significant fluctuations in 2009show that the performance of this is very poor as
compared to last year.

Interpretation Statement of Financial Performance:Interpretation Statement of Financial Performance:
The Vertical Analysis of the statement of finical performance of 2009, 2008 is
poor as compared to the figures of 2007. The administrative expense of GCCI is
significantly increase as compared to the year 2007 in 2009 & goes to 119.91% increase
from 87.46%. The total capital fund of GCCI is also decrease by 200.11% which is
213.82% in the last year & 214.85 in 2007. This is not a good sign the funds of the GCCI
is reduced, this can create a greater trouble for GCCI, if these are not increase in the next
year.
Ratio Analysis:Ratio Analysis:
Financial Ratios are like financial temperatures, which give the state of the health of
a business. This analysis technique is most widely used. It is the only mean of better
understanding of Financial Strength & Weakness. It can be divided in different
Categories like;
Liquidity Ratios
Activity Ratios
Debt Ratios
Profitability Ratios
Market Value Ratio
Liquidity Ratios:Liquidity Ratios:
Liquidity Ratios are used to measure a firm’s ability to meet short-term
obligations. They compare short-term obligations to short-term (or current) resources
available to meet these obligations. From these ratios, much insight can be obtained into
the present cash solvency of the firm and the firm’s ability to remain solvent in the event
of adversity.
Under this, I calculate following Ratios of Gujranwala Chamber of Commerce &
Industry;
Internship Report Page 55
Current Ratio:
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
For 2009 Current Ratio = 10,313,122.39 / 321,770.00 = 32.05
For 2008 Current Ratio = 16,211,416.43 / 216,424.00 = 74.91
For 2007Current Ratio = 15,244,888.10 / 261,228.00 = 58.36
Interpretation:
The rule of thumb is 2:1, as in 2009 company has Rs/32.05 to pay its Rs.1
liability however the company has Rs/74.91 & Rs/58.36 in 2008 & 2007. As it is reduce
as compared to previous years, it is unfavorable for GCCI.
Absolute Quick Ratio:
Absolute Quick Ratio = Absolute Liquid Assets / Current Liabilities
Absolute Liquid Assets = Cash & Bank Balances
For 2009 Absolute Quick Ratio = 9,685,505.10 / 321,770.00 = 11.71
For 2008 Absolute Quick Ratio = 10,195,760.82 / 216,424.00 =47.11
For 2007 Absolute Quick Ratio = 3,767,717.39 / 261,228.00 = 37.08
Interpretation:
The Absolute Quick Ratio of GCCI is 11.71 in 2009 which is significantly
decreased from the previous years, as in previous it is 47.11 & 37.08 in 2008 & 2007
respectively. It is also unfavorable of GCCI.
Activity Ratios:Activity Ratios:
Activity ratios are calculated to measure the efficiency with which the resources
of the firm have been employed. These ratios are also called “TUROVER RATIOS”
Internship Report Page 56
because these ratios indicate the speed with which assets are being turned over into sales.
Following ratios are calculated under this head of GCCI;
Debtor Turnover
Average Collection Period
Total Assets Turnover
Non Current Assets Turnover
Current Assets Turnover
Debtor Turnover:
Debtor Turnover = Sales or Income / Average Receivables
For 2009 Debtor Turnover Ratio = 10,311,977.68 / 1,771,603.00 = 5.82 times
For 2008Debtor Turnover Ratio = 10,620,421.88 /1,965,275.00 =5.40 times
For 2007 Debtor Turnover Ratio = 10,204,376.00 / 1,915,978.39 = 5.33 times
Interpretation:
The Debtor Turnover Ratio of GCCI is increased in 2009 which is 5.82 times as
compared to previous years, which are 5.40 times & 5.33 times in the 2008 &2007
respectively.
Average collection period:
Average collection period = No. of days in Year / Debtor Turnover
For 2009 Average collection period = 360 / 5.82 = 62 days
For 2008 Average collection period = 360 / 5.40 =67 days
For 2007 Average collection period = 360 / 5.33 = 68 days
Internship Report Page 57
Interpretation:
The average collection period shows after how many days the company accounts
receivables convert into cash. The current results shows that company has improved as in
current year average collection period is 62 days which are less then previous years
figures of 67 days in 2008 & 68 days in 2007.
Total asset turnover:
Total asset turnover = sales / total assets
For 2009 Total Assets Turnover Ratio = 10,311,977.68 / 20,956,963.62 = 0.49 times
For 2008 Total Assets Turnover Ratio = 10,620,421.88 /22,925,068.63 =0.46 times
For 2007 Total Assets Ratio = 10,204,376.00 / 22,185,633.32 = 0.46 times
Interpretation:
In 2009 the company has a healthy turnover of assets into sales, show the
management efficiency to convert its total assets into sales. In 2009 it is 0.49 times as
compared to 0.46 times of both 2008 & 2007.
Non Current asset turnover:
Non Current asset turnover = sales / non current assets
2009 Non Current asset Turnover Ratio = 10,311,977.68 / 10,643,841.23 = 0.97 times
2008 Non Current asset Turnover Ratio = 10,620,421.88 / 6,713,652.20 =1.58 times
2007 Non Current asset Turnover Ratio = 10,204,376.00 / 6,940,745.22 = 1.47times
Interpretation:
In 2009 the company has non current assets turnover of 0.97 times which as
lower than previous years of 2008 1.58 times & in 2007 1.47 times. This shows GCCI
has not efficiently utilized its non current assets in 2009.
Internship Report Page 58
Current Asset turnover = sales / current assets
For 2009 Current Turnover Ratio = 10,311,977.68 / 10,313,122.39 = 1.00 times
For 2008 Current r Turnover Ratio = 10,620,421.88 /16,211,416.43 = 0.66 times
For 2007 Current Turnover Ratio = 10,204,376.00 / 15,244,888.10 = 0.67 times
Interpretation:
In 2009 the company has current assets turnover of 1.00 times which as greater
than previous years of 2008 0.66 times & in 2007 0.67 times. This shows GCCI has
efficiently utilized its current assets in 2009.

SWOT AnalysisSWOT Analysis
The Strengths -Weaknesses Opportunities-Threats (SWOT) analysis
is also named as The Threats-Opportunities-Weaknesses-Strengths (TOWS)
analysis. A SWOT Analysis is a strategic planning tool used to assess the Threats,
Opportunities and Strengths, Weaknesses, involved in a business venture or in any other
situation requiring a decision. The most difficult part of SWOT Analysis is to match
internal and external factor. Once the objective has been identified, SWOT are
discovered and listed. SWOT analysis is defined precisely as follows:
Strengths & Weaknesses are linked with internal environment. Opportunities &
Threats are linked with internal environment.
Strengths and weaknesses are internal factors. The strength could
be your specialist marketing expertise. A weakness could be the lack of a new product in
the market.
Internship Report Page 60
SWOT
Internal Environment
Strengths
External Environment
Opportunities and threats are external factors. An opportunity could
be a developing distribution channel such as the Internet, or changing consumer lifestyles
that potentially increase demand for a company's products.
A threat could be a new competitor in an important existing market or a technological
change that makes existing products potentially obsolete.
It is significant of pointing out that SWOT analysis can be very subjective - two
people rarely come-up with the same description of a SWOT analysis even when given
the same information about the same business and its environment.
Being an internee at GCCI, I have observed the following Strengths, Weaknesses,
Opportunities, & Threats:
Strengths:Strengths:
These are attributes of the organization that are unique & are helpful to attain
the objective of the organization. Following are the elements;
GCCI Support & Promote Trade Activities:
Gujranwala Chamber of Commerce and Industry is efficiently or effectively
support, promote the trade & industry activities of Gujranwala District. GCCI can take
all the steps which are necessary for the promotion of trade, commerce & industry
through Seminars or exhibitions in the GCCI.
Top Management Commitment:
GCCI’s top management is the Executive Committee, who is the combination of both
experienced & young energetic professional which are proving to be the real strength of
GCCI. This top management also includes the Director General. The main motive of all
the members of Executive Committee & Direct General is towards the support & full
commitment of all the trading activities in Gujranwala.
Internship Report Page 61
Effective Communication at GCCI:
Gujranwala Chamber of Commerce and Industry has very good relation among
different departments, coworkers, colleagues and subordinates. This good relationship
can leads towards the effective communication between different departments,
coworkers, colleagues & subordinates.
Infrastructure of GCCI:
The infrastructure of the GCCI is very attractive, which creates a good image in the
mind of visitors or outsiders. The infrastructure of GCCI has improved very much over
the years & still all the President can spend many funds every year to improve it further.
Sign of Quality:
GCCI has implemented ISO 9000 standard, which is a sign of Quality at very level of
organization & clarity in its internal processes. This creates a great image as ISO
certified Company has a great influence on the outsiders or foreign countries. That’s way
GCCI has a strong trade and industry monitoring and controlling position in the market.
Maintenance of Vital Statistical Records:
Gujranwala Chamber of Commerce and Industry has a Library which has
maintained vital statistics records & this library is the main requirement in for every
Chamber. The different department of GCCI like Membership Department has also
maintained statistical records for long term in order to avoid any ineffective operations.
Weaknesses:Weaknesses:
These are attributes of the organization that are harmful to the achievement of its
objective. Following are some points which I have observed under this head;
Non Segregation of Duties:
In the Accounts department of GCCI which is a very crucial department. Only one
person an Accountant is done both jobs of “Cashier & Accountant”, this is very harmful
Internship Report Page 62
for a business that a single person can issue cash & also record that cash, so he can
record anything as there is no supervision or control over Accountant.
Planning of different Events of GCCI beyond its Control:
All the plans and their implementation made through Ministry of Commerce &
Federation of Chambers. The GCCI has a member is bound to follow all of their
requirements. Although these plans in his favor or not, the implementation of those is
compulsory on GCCI.
GCCI has not required Staff:
The GCCI has also facing Staff problems, in R & D cell only Director General of R
& D cell is work for this cell. He required a handsome staff in order to conduct research
projects, make making fortnightly bulletin in order to give proper guide & support to the
members of GCCI.
Opportunities:Opportunities:
These are external conditions or factors that are helpful to the achievement of its
objectives. Following are the Opportunities for GCCI;
Introduce new Departments:
GCCI has enough capacity or space as it own the whole Chamber Plaza, they
have just four departments, GCCI has a bigger opportunity to introduce or add or expand
its departments, like any one or two departments in to promote & effectively discharge
its services ,
1. Community Development and Communication
2. International Relation
3. Finance and Business Strategies
4. Industrial Development
Internship Report Page 63
5. Chamber Logistic Center
6. Health & Medical Science
7. Chamber Science and Technology Center
8. Islamic Medicine
9. Economic Development
10. Inter Industry Relations
11. Joint Ventures and Foreign Investment
12. Education and Training
13. Governmental Affairs
No Competitor:
Gujranwala Chamber of Commerce & Industry has greatest opportunity to
expand its operations as it has no Competitors in Gujranwala. It is the only company to
support the trade & business activities in Gujranwala. So, if the management of the
company can go towards its operations.
Innovations through Utilization of R & D Cell:
Gujranwala Chamber of Commerce & Industry create many facilities through
Research & Development & try to produce more innovative ideas or alternative of rare
or scarce resources in order to satisfy the existing members & also try to crate
opportunities in Gujranwala that more & more people can start works or start their
businesses or companies, & so, GCCI can increase its members through this.
Commencement of Mega Project for Infrastructure of District:
Gujranwala Chamber of Commerce & Industry has convenience the Government
to start different mega projects for the improvement of infrastructure of Gujranwala, as
in order to create different jobs to overcome the unemployment in the Gujranwala
through the “Capital Fund” of GCCI & Government Grant.
Internship Report Page 64
Threats:Threats:
These are external conditions that are harmful to the achievement of the objective. I
have observed the following threats;
Unstable Economic Conditions:
Gujranwala Chamber of Commerce & Industry has faced many threats from
unstable economic conditions in Pakistan, which is a big hurdle in the promotion of
trade & business activities in Gujranwala. As people are hesitate to invest. The
international trade of imports & exports are highly affected from these uncertain
conditions.
Uncertain Political Conditions:
Gujranwala Chamber of Commerce & Industry has very much effected due to
uncertain political environment in Pakistan, this will also heart the trade & business
activities in Gujranwala as the uncertain economic conditions in Pakistan.
Higher Cost of Capital:
Gujranwala Chamber of Commerce & Industry has threat of reducing its
members due to High Cost of Capital due to the following factors;
Inflation
Electricity crisis
Gas Load Shading
High Prices of Inputs
Many other factors
Internship Report Page 65
This is a big threat for GCCI has lost many of its members every year. If these
costs are not controlled no one can take initiate to start new business is also a threat
for GCCI, as having no more members.
Uncertain Economic Polices & Regulations of Government:
Gujranwala Chamber of Commerce & Industry is also badly affected due to
uncertain economic policies and regulations of government, like involvement of
Political Factors & change in Government can change the policies.
Internship Report Page 66
RecommendationsRecommendations
After conducting the SWOT analysis of GCCI, I am in a position to recommend the
factors, which are those if GCCI management can properly apply these factors, the
weakness & threats are converted into strengths & opportunities:
Segregation of Duties:
I recommend to GCCI management to segregate duties & only one person can do one
job & he has a superior or supervisor to inspect his work. In GCCI the accountant is not
fit for accountant as well as cashier. There should be separate person for each post in
order to prevent from frauds.
Hire the Required Staff:
I recommend to GCCI management the competent staff for R & D cell. If GCCI,
wants to promote the industry research work they have to hire the required staff. It is not
possible that only a single person Director General of R &D can handle or conduct the
work of research of different industries in Gujranwala. This job or work required a
handsome amount of employees who gather the data of different industries, identifying
the problems & try to solve those problems of the different industries through research.
GCCI Introduce New Departments:
I recommend to GCCI management to properly utilize his capacity by adding or
introducing new departments in order to promote the trade & industry from the capital
fund of GCCI. They have enough space; it should be very beneficial for the members of
GCCI, if GCCI can introduce new departments which are present in other districts or
cities of Pakistan.
New Industrial Zone:
I recommend to the GCCI management to connivance or approve a scheme of
new industrial zone to Ministry of Commerce, to provide facilities to start the new
Internship Report Page 67
business. This scheme can promote the industry of Gujranwala, & provide many job
opportunities to the graduates of the Gujranwala.
ConclusionConclusion
At the end, I conclude that the Gujranwala Chamber of Commerce & Industry is
engaged in the promotion of trade & industry is a good organization. During my
internship at GCCI, I have observed that, the company has providing facilities of
membership about 7000 business either sole proprietor, partnership or company or body
corporate. It provide numerous benefits to its members, but now it has faced many
challenges in the industrial sector due to energy crisis, political & other challenges which
become the grater hurdle in the way to promote the industries smoothly.
During internship I did the research work in R & D cell & make the Country
profile of five countries, I have highlight the economic conditions & trade or top ten
import &export from these countries in Pakistan. In R & D cell I have also assist the
Director General of R & D in making the news bulletin of GCCI. I have also spent some
time in other departments of GCCI gain the practical experience of those departments.
During work in membership department, membership officer has given me the
Memorandum of Analysis & Articles of Associations, through these documents; I have
understood all the working & their procedures.
I have learned a lot of practical experience during the internship. In this
report after the SWOT analysis of GCCI, I have recommended some factors; if GCCI
can implements those factors the weakness or threats of GCCI are converted into
Strengths or Opportunities.
