1. 1. 2: Origin of the Report

I hae been assigned to do my Internship program in the IDLC Finance Limited, Consumer Division, in Mirpur as a partial requirement of the B.B.A Program. It is a three credit course to complete the B.B.A program of the Department of Accounting & Information System. I prepared this report on direction of my supervisor Prof. Dr. Md. Ashraf Ali Khan, Department of Accounting, Shaikh Borhanuddin Post Graduate College, on “Over All Non Banking Financial Activities & Performance of IDLC Finance Ltd.”. This report has been prepared on the basis of information that I have known from the secondary information and the information I have collected during my internship from IDLC Finance Ltd.

1. The organization and

2. The project;

1.1. 4: Objective of the organization

The purpose of the organizational part is to demonstrate the experience of the twelve week internship program and analyze the activities, performances and also to demonstrate their strength, weakness, opportunities, threats and other business affairs of IDLC Finance Ltd.

1.1.5: Objective of the project

This part of the report encompasses a brief rundown on the various functions and operations of the Consumer Division of IDLC. I was allowed to have a practical orientation in Credit and Collection Department of IDLC. Thus, all practical information used in this is more or less collected through the day to day orientation.

1. 2. 1: Scope

The report will attempt to present IDLC of Bangladesh Ltd. since its inception with a brief introduction of its sponsors. Apart from the internal practice and company philosophy, a brief introduction will be provided on the industry as a whole and the macro and micro economic variables shaping the industry.

The secondary information has been collected from the company’s annual report, corporate newsletter, branches manuals, and intranet of the company, different websites and various publications of the institution.

Some opinions and ideas have been incorporated in the paper through interactive sessions, interviews and informal discussion with the company officials. The officials interviewed included the HOCCD (Head of Credit and Control Division), Head of Liability Operations, different managers, executives and high officials.

1. 2. 3: Limitations

During my orientation I am able to learn a lot of things but still it was not enough. There are some limitations that I can’t ignore. The main limitations were:

§ The time span was not sufficient enough to learn all the activities of the organization properly. Therefore, it was very difficult to carry out the whole analysis.

  • Data unavailability was the constraint. Official documents on the detail activities of the department were not available.
  • For business secrecy confidential information, which could have enriched this report could not be given.
  • I was There Placed For Three month But In Working days I had to spend all days for organizing there customer undertaking so I couldn’t get enough time for collecting data for my internship report.
  • The organization is very conservative about there information, collecting primary data was very heard for me. So I have to prepare most of the part of my report based on secondary report.

non performing loan has been further reduced from 4.5% in 2009 and 3.62 % in 2010

to 3.07% in 2011, mainly through strengthening of the credit and collections teams

and relevant process.

IDLC has continued with its prudential policy of building adequate provision for doubtful accounts and future losses.

4.1.2: Market capitalization of idlc finance limited

Higher market capitalization means expansion of business and as result IDLC opened their twelve new branches in recent two years. The company had to relay mainly on profit retention to support enhanced capital requirements arising from asset growth, capital adequacy. The Bangladesh Bank adoption of Basel II accord for NBFI from January 01, 2012 is also likely to exert added pressure on companies capital adequacy.

4.2.4: Operating income

Above graph shows in Each year their operating income growth increased rapidly.

In 2011 operating revenue grew 58% to reach BDT 3027 million against the year

2011.

Though the amount of BDT million increase in 2011 but the growth shows that there is negative growth in percentage in 2010 to2011, here the growth is 58% but the previous year growth is 62% which indicated that the operating expenses also increased.

So the company should try to reduce their operating cost expenses.

IDLC consolidated asset at 2011 year end stood at BDT 26.9 billion a 19 % growth over 2010. An aggressive deposit program was initiated in the second half of 2011 and by year end. So from the above graph I can say they has a optimum level of asset.

reduced against 2007 to 2008. But from 2009 it is again with positive growth.

follows:

    1. Rivalry among the existing firms.
    2. Threats of new entrants.
    3. Threats of substitute products
    4. Bargaining power of buyers
    5. Bargaining power of suppliers

  • 5.2.2: Five forces analysis of the Banking and non Banking financial industry

· Degree of Differentiation and switching costs: For most of the category degree of differentiation and switching costs are low. Therefore, there exists price competition.

· Fixed rate: In this industry, large percentage of cost is fixed. So, the intra-industry rivalry is high.

· Exit barriers: Exit barrier is high in banking industry .So, the intra-industry rivalry is high.

By considering all the points, we found that the intra-industry rivalry in sector is high.

(B) Threat of new entrants:

· Economies of scale: This industry has high economies of scale. So, the threat of new entrants is low.

· First mover advantage: Banking industry has first mover advantage. So, early firms have absolute advantage over new firms. Thus, the threat of new entrant is low.

· Legal Barriers: The threat of new entrants is low because of high legal restrictions.

· Access to channels of distribution and relationships: Existing good relationships between companies and customers in Banking industry will make it difficult for new companies to enter in this industry.

Overall consideration shows that the average threat of new entrant in Banking industry is low.

By considering all the points, we found that the Bargaining power of buyers in banking and non banking financial institution industry is high.

(D) Bargaining power of suppliers:

· Level of concentration: As the suppliers are highly concentrated, the bargaining power of suppliers of this industry is high.

· Forward integrate: As the Suppliers can forward integrate, the bargaining power of suppliers is high.

· Product differentiation: Some of the products of suppliers are highly differentiated. So, in this case, the bargaining power of suppliers is high.

· Switching among suppliers: In this industry, switching between suppliers is not easy and costly. Thus, the bargaining power of suppliers is high.

By considering all the points, we found that the Bargaining power of supplier in Banking industry is high.

(E) Threat of substitutes:

· Whether industry-producing substitutes are profitable or not: In banking non banking financial institution industry, the substitute product can be profitable.

· Price/performance relationship of substitute products: In Banking non banking financial institution industry, substitute product or service is improving in its price /performance relationship.

By considering all the points, we found that the threat of substitute in banking non banking financial institution industry is high.

6.1.1: Operational Performance of IDLC During 2011

The Company’s diversified operations and subsidiary saw a handsome growth during the year 2011. SMEs in Bangladesh have been making a significant contribution to the country’s economy. However, there is large gap between their needs and access to reasonably priced fund. Under this backdrop, they have taken an initiative to aggressively increase investment in this segment, in a structured manner to cater to the financing needs to small and medium sized business enterprise. IDLC’s SME focused branches have strengthened its financing activities in this growing sector of the country.

As a part of business expansion, during 2011, they opened several branches across the country which, we believe, will contribute significantly to the management’s effort for increasing SME clients at that mobilization in that region to increase their business and provide better services to their SME clients at that region. They have also planned to set up more Branches in different locations of the country during the year 2011.

They believe that setting up of these branches will help us to generate business volumes from SME markets which are mostly untapped by us, establish their permanent presence in different areas, give faster service delivery and cross selling opportunities of all their other financial products and services. Setting up of these branches, they believe, will also broaden their deposit mobilization effort.

The Personal Finance Division of the Company deals mainly with real estate finance and also provides personal and car loans to some very selective clients. During 2011, this division disbursed BDT 2,439 million compared to BDT 2,066 million in 2010. The total asset portfolio of the division at the year end stands at BDT 6,611.

7.1.3: Recommendation:

The management of IDLC finance ltd should review their systems, policies, processes and product prices in line with the changing market reality. The institution should explore of high quality products and services to attract its potential market and diversity of products is important.

More trainingshould be conducted for the employee to improve their analytical ability and professional standard regarding the use of tools and techniques in selecting the borrowers and analyzing the loan proposals.

Authority should be delegated to the lower level with adequate measures for the necessary control and follow-up for making the lending decision and recovery. One proper standard procedure should be developed for all types of clients and no interpersonal relationship should be involved in approving a loan.

Interest income occupies the major part of the total earnings of a financial institution and the profitability mainly depends on interest earning capacity, so they should establish a research and development cell for the purpose of lending analysis and recovery of loans.

In reducing magnitude of classified loans, the system of credit appraisal needs to be strengthened through developing comprehensive borrower rating system.
