ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW
Bank system was practiced in Indian subcontinent by the Indian subcontinent merchants;
Goldsmith Moneylenders were the primary bankers. During the mughal period banking and
credit business was enchanted rapidly. In 1700 AD “Hindustan bank” was established as the
first joint stock bank. In 1784 “Bengal bank” and in 1786 “general bank of India “were
launched. Then both the banks absolved respectively in 1793 and 1832. During the early
period of nineteenth century the three banks “Bank of Bombay”, “Bank of Madras” and “Bank
of Bengal” merged to “Imperial bank of India”. In 1947 after the separation of Bengal, bank
business faced a severe disaster as non-Muslim bankers migrated to India. In order to rebuild
the bank business State bank of Pakistan was established as a central bank of Pakistan in 1948.
In 1971 Bangladesh became independent. After liberation „Bangladesh bank‟ was automated
with the assets and liabilities of former “State bank of Pakistan”. The rate of growth and
development of banking sector in the country was extremely slow until 1983 when the
government allowed to establish private banks and started denationalization process. Initially,
6
the Uttara Bank in the same year and thereafter, the Pubali Bank, and the Rupali Bank in
1986.There were no domestic private commercial banks in Bangladesh until 1982 when the
Arab- Bangladesh Banks (AB Bank) commenced private commercial banking in the country.
Five more commercial banks came up in 1983 and initiated a moderate growth in banking
financial institutions. The banking system is composed of four state-owned commercial
banks, five specialized development banks, thirty private commercial Banks and nine foreign
commercial banks.
Uttara Bank Limited was established in 1965 under the name “Eastern Banking Corporation
Limited” with the specific objective of accelerating trade and investment in the economically
depressed eastern wing of the than Pakistan.
After liberation of Bangladesh the Bank underwent a major change namely, it was
nationalized in March, 1972 and given the name “Uttara Bank”.
The Bank again in 1983 was denationalized and made a commercial bank in the private sector
under the name “Uttara Bank Limited”.
The Bank was incorporated as a banking company on June 29, 1983 and obtained business
commencement certificate on August 21, 1983.

computerized branches ensuring best possible and fastest services to its valued clients. The

ABOUT JOB:
The name of the organization where I have done my internship was Uttara Bank Limited. My
job was at Gulshan Branch of the bank which is situated at Landmark Shopping Centre( 1st
Floor) ,12-14, Gulshan North C/A Gulshan-2, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Job Description
As it's a bank, each and every activities must be recorded and every work must be perfectly
done. I had do everything very carefully because I was told that whatever I do, is related with
money. All the activities were associated me with area of the study.
During the internship period I have had some interesting observations. One of them is, before
and after doing each task every employee reports to the second officer(rank after the branch
manager) of the branch. Another observation is, the banks online facilities have just started
and they have lot of issues with this to be fixed.
15
PROJECT:
Summery:
It is very important to have a practical application of the knowledge acquired from any
academic course of the study. Because only a lot of theoretical knowledge will become
fruitless if is not applied in the practical life. So I need proper application of my knowledge to
get some benefit from my theoretical knowledge to make it more fruitful. Such an application
can be possible through internship.
My project was “An Analysis of Financial Performance e and General Banking Activities of
Uttara Bank Limited”, which was assigned by my internship supervisor Mr. Riyashad Ahmed,
Assistant Professor, BRAC Business School; BRAC University. I had chosen this topic A
company‟s financial statement analysis provides various financial information that investors
and creditors use to evaluate a company‟s financial performance.
16
Objective:
The writing of this report contains two objectives: General objective and Specific objective.
General Objective: The general objective of this report is to complete the internship program.
As per requirement of BBA program of BRAC University, a student need to work in a
business organization for three months to acquire practical knowledge about real business
operations of a company.
Specific objectives: The specific objectives of this report are to analyze the financial
performance as well as general banking activities of Uttara Bank Limited. To complete this
report requires the internee to understand the facts that a real organization faces in the
practical world. Thus, specific objectives also include relating the theoretical knowledge to the
practical field. A student should be able to extract the gist of any events that might relate to
his/her context. This ability helps the students to increase their quality and effectiveness. Thus,
as a final word, specific objectives of this report include how to collect, analyze and interpret
data and draw relevant recommendations about any event which will prove the eligibility of an
BBA student.
This report contains the analysis of financial performance along with general banking
activities of Uttara Bank Ltd. The time frame is set on the last five fiscal years. The analysis
includes the horizontal (trend) analysis and ratio analysis on its own performance. Findings
and relevant recommendations are made based on that analysis. For avoiding the complexity,
selected performance variables are taken into consideration while analyze the performance.
Sole performance analysis of the branch is avoided due to unavailability of data.
17
Methodology:
The study requires a systematic procedure from selection of the topic to preparation of the
final report. To perform the study, the data sources were to be identified and collected, to be
classified, analyzed, interpreted and presented in a systematic manner and key points were to
be found out. The overall process of methodology has been given as below.
Selection of the topic: The topic of the study was assigned by the honorable
supervisors. While assigning the topic necessary recommendations and suggestions
were provided by my honorable supervisor to make this internship report a well
organized and perfect one.
Identifying data sources: Essential data sources, both primary and secondary data
source, were identified that would be needed to carry on the study and complete
this report.
18
Information collected to furnish this report is both from primary and secondary sources. But
mainly I have focused on secondary data.
19
Data Collection: Primary data were collected through direct and face to face
interview of the different personnel of the Uttara Bank Limited, Gulshan Branch.
Findings of the study: The collected data were pointed out and shown as findings.
Few recommendations are also made for improvement of the current situation.
Limitations:
After completing the institutional experience, practical performance in real life becomes
difficult. So, my lack of experience greatly influenced in preparing this report.
Interns report is one kind of research work. Research work requires huge
time. I had to keep that and mind and limit my research to some extent.
The bank personnel and officials were sometimes very busy with their
occupational activities. Hence it was little bit difficult for them to help
within their high schedule.
Unwilling to provide data because of confidentially.
It is too much difficult to comment and suggest based on only the annual
report and information supplied by the organization.
20
Horizontal Analysis:
A company's financial statements for a single accounting period can reveal important
information about its performance and financial health. But comparing the financial statements
of more than one period can provide better context and help identify any changes that may
signal strengths or weaknesses. We can compare financial statements for more than one period
by using horizontal analysis. Horizontal analysis, also called "trend analysis," is used to
discover trends in the earnings, assets and liabilities of a company over the course of several
years. With horizontal analysis, we compare the amount changes and the percent change of
each item in a financial statement for two consecutive periods. A financial statement showing
horizontal analysis of two consecutive periods is called a comparative financial statement.

RATION ANALYSIS:
A bank‟s balance sheet and profit and loss account are valuable information sources for
identifying risk taking and assessing risk management effectiveness. Although the taka
amounts found on these statements provide valuable insights into the performance and
condition of a bank, financial analysts, bankers and bank supervisors typically use data from
them to develop financial ratios to evaluate bank performance. This is done to provide
perspective and facilitate making comparisons. There are literally hundreds useful financial
ratios we can use to evaluate bank performance. However, in most instances, directors only
need a few basic ratios to identify fundamental performance issues and help them formulate
questions regarding any underlying problems and asking management‟s plans for correcting
them. This section will discuss some selected ratios from various perspectives. From this
various perspective Ratio Analysis can be dividing into five categories. These five categories
are as follows:
1) Liquidity Ratio:
Current Ratio
Quick Ratio
Working Capital
Cash Conversion Cycle

4) Profitability Ratio:
Following the instructions of the supervisor, some important ratios are analyzed and showed
below:
Advances to Deposits:
Advance to Deposit (ATD) ratio is the most commonly used liquidity ratios of a bank. A low
ratio of ATD indicates excess liquidity, and potentially low profits, compared to other banks. A
high ATD ratio presents the risk that some loans may have to be sold at a loss to meet
depositors‟ claims. The ATD ratios of Uttara Bank Limited are given bellow:

The bank‟s ATD ratio increases from FY2010 to FY 2011 and in FY2012 and 2013 ATD ratio
slightly fall. The highest ATD ratio was in FY2011 which surely helps to higher risks of loan
losses but it also increases profits in that period.

RECOMMENDATIONS
There are few problems which need to be corrected by the management of the bank. Some
necessary steps are recommended below on the basis of collected data, observation, expert
officers‟ opinion and my knowledge and judgment.
Horizontal analysis of total operating expense was increasing from FY2009 to FY2013
which was bad sign for a bank. The management of UBL should focus on slow down the
increasing rate of total operating expense over the year by cutting down unnecessary
costs.
Horizontal analysis of total liabilities was increasing from FY2009 to FY2013 which was
not superior for a bank. The management of UBL should focus on slow down the
increasing rate of total liabilities.
UBL should pay attention to reduce their operating expense to operating income ratio.
This margin is categorized as unsatisfactory from FY2009 to FY2013. This ratio was
increasing year by year which is bad sign for a bank. The bank may decrease this ratio
either by increasing operating income by attracting more clients to invest or decreasing
operating expense by making an optimum portfolio of investment which will reduce the
overall expenses.
Return on Assets (ROA) of UBL was not superior. ROA ratio was decreasing FY2010 to
FY2013. UBL should pay attention to increase this ratio because higher ROA ratio
indicated bank is running well.
Introducing new marketing strategy to attract more clients, this will increase the total
export and import business.
Attractive incentive package for the exporter, this will help to increase the export and
accordingly it will diminish the balance of payment gap of UBL.
46
Effective training is very much essential for the foreign exchange officials so that they
can easily deal with their valuable customers.
Online Banking system is very important to maintain secure foreign exchange operation
for UBL.
Introduction of various incentives to increase remittance.
Foreign exchange operation is more dynamic, less time-consuming and challenging job
for a bank. Uttara Bank Ltd. should pay more attention to cope up with modern facility to
face the challenges.
In our country, financial problem is a great constraint to foreign trade and UBL is very
mush conservative to post shipment finance. If the Bank takes a bit liberal position the
exporter will easily come out from financial constraint.

CONCLUSION:
The finding in this report cannot be taken as a conclusion and it will be wrong to end here with
such results. Because this study actually gives a simple picture and leaves room for further study
in different areas of banking functions such as product of banks, productivity analysis, Data
Environment analysis and more.
Banking sector is the chief financial intermediary in a country. It is a very challenging institution
and in the age of globalization and free trade, the process and the system of running a Bank is
changing. UBL already managed itself with this changing environment. The company strategies
are clear and concise. The return is attractive for the bank. If the Bank goes this way, one can
expect that in near future Uttara Bank Limited may become one of the top performers.
From the discussion it can be concluded that Uttara Bank Limited playing an important role in
the economic development of the country and it has a prospect future to have a very good
position in the Banking sector. To do this it should increase promotional activities to reach to the
people easily as well as Uttara Bank Limited focus on major banking activities that may increase
the bank ranking and financial performance position comparing with other banks. Such
information assists the management of this bank in creating appropriate financial strategies for
attaining the required planned financial performance.
The study provides bank managers with understanding of activities that would improve their
bank‟s financial performance and foreign exchange operation. The results of this study imply
that it might be necessary for the management of Uttara Bank Limited to take all required
decisions by consistently observing key financial ratios, horizontal (trend) analysis among
various elements and foreign exchange operation to enhance their position in the banking
