THE EARLY YEARS

Standard Chartered is named after two banks which merged in 1969. They were originally known as the

Standard Bank of British South Africa and the Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China. Of the two

Banks, the Chartered Bank of India is older having been founded in 1853 following the grant of a Royal

Charter from Queen Victoria. The moving force behind the grant Chartered Bank was a Scot, James

Wilson, who made his fortune in making hats. James Wilson went on to the start The Economic still

one of the worlds pre-eminent publications. Nine years later, in 1862, the Standard Bank was

founded by a group of businessmen led by another Scot, John Paterson, who had immigrated to the Cape

Province in the South Africa and had become a successful merchant. Both banks were keen to capitalize

on the huge expansion of the trade between Europe, Asia and Africa and to reap the handsome profits to

be made from financing that trade. The Chartered Bank opened its first branches in 1858 in Calcutta and

Mumbai. A branch opened in Shanghai that summer beginning Standard Chartereds unbroken presence

in China. The following year the Chartered Bank opened a branch in Hong Kong and an agency was

opened in Singapore. In 1861 the Singapore agency was upgraded an agency to a branch which helped

provide finance for the rapidly developing rubber and tin industries in Malaysia. In 1862 the CharteredBank was authorized to issue bank notes in Hong Kong. Subsequently it was also authorized to issue bank

notes in Singapore, a privilege it continued to exercise up until the end of the 19th century. Over

the following decades both the Standard bank and the Chartered bank printed bank notes in a variety of

countries including China, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Malaysia and even during the siege of Marketing in

CODE OF CONDUCT. The Group code of conduct is a practical working document that guides

employees through the many difficult issues they may run up against in their daily working lives.

vendors who carry on the job of delivery of cash to the branches and collection of excess cash from the

branches to be deposited in the centeral cash department. Whenever there is a request from the branches

regarding delivery cash to them, the cash supervisor collects the money from centeral cash and dispatches

them to respective branches of SCB. Again when branches require to deposit the excess cash, the cashsupervisor collects the excess cash from the branches and deposits them in the centeral cash. The

branches give an acknowledgement to the centeral cash confirming that they have given or received the

Dema t

Shares of companies, which are actively traded in the market, can be sold only in electronic mode. The

shares are similar to bank balances maintained with any bank. Only difference being, balances of various

customers are kept separately.

According to SEBI regulations, demat trading of all shares of most of the companies is mandatory. Tomake this possible, the depository ordinance was passed and NSDL (a

Depository set up by UTI, NSE and various other banks) was formed in 1996. Various entities (Banks,

custodians, clearing members) have signed up with NSDL as agents of the latter for offering depository

services to investors.

To convert the equity holding into electronic mode or purchase equity shares directly in demat mode, an

account is to be opened with a depository participant (DP), who on

clients behalf holds all shares in demat form in the DP account of the client. DP also keeps a track of the

holding of share by the client on a daily basis.

Investigations & Query Handling

Handling of Customer Complaints and Information to Regulatory Authorities:

Customer Complaints through Branches and Phone banking:

Internal services do the activity of investigation and resolution of customers complaints received from

various branches and phone banking. We here at SCB have a unique Command package for logging

customers queries which has inbuilt chain of escalation if a query remains unresponded within the time

specified in the query.

Business Financial Services

21


22/32

Over Draft

Suppose a person is opting for an O/D of 2500000 by pledging his FD, then the O/D will be equal to 90%

of the FD (limit). Now say the interest is 10% p.a. then interest of 10% will be charged on the amount,

which the customer has used up. Better interest rate is applicable on assured securities but higher interest

rate is applicable on unassured collaterals.

Term Loans

Term loans are basically taken for Business Expansion Purpose (e.g. infrastructure). The maximum time

period for loan is 5 years. They are repaid in EMIs. The minimum time period for term loan is 3 months.

In this case, the customer is supposed to make one shot payment (say after 6 months).

Letter Of Credit (LCS)

There are two types of letter of credit:

Inland letter of credit

Overseas letter of credit

Bank Guarantees

Bank Guarantees are generally issues when transaction takes place between two parties residing at the

same place. The purpose of issuing bank guarantees is more or less same as that of letter of credit.

Pre-shipment / Post-shipment Credit

Pre-shipment credit

Loan taken before the goods are dispatched. The loan is taken when the contract is signed & the loan is

taken for carrying out dispatch.

Post-shipment credit

Loans taken after the goods are dispatched to the respective place. Thevarious types of credits are given

on the basis of certain collaterals or securities like FDs etc.

BUDGETING -

22


23/32

An itemized forecast of an individual's or company's income and expenses expected for someperiod in

the future. It is actually an organizational plan stated in monetary terms. They serve as a plan of action for

managers as well as a point of comparison at the period's end.

It is an estimation of the revenue and expenses over a specified future period of time. A budget can be

made for a person, family, group of people, business, government, country, multinational organization or

just about anything else that makes and spends money. A budget is a microeconomic concept that shows

the tradeoff made when one good is exchanged for another. In summary, the purpose of budgeting is to:

1. Provide a forecast of revenues and expenditures i.e. construct a model of how a business mightperform financially speaking if certain strategies, events and plans are carried out.

2. Enable the actual financial operation of the business to be measured against the forecast.

3. Makes easier to monitor the businesses progress.

A surplus budget means profits are anticipated, while a balanced budget means that revenues are expectedto equal expenses. A deficit budget means expenses will exceed revenues. Budgets are usually compiledand re-evaluated on a periodic basis. Adjustments are made to budgets based on the goals of the

budgeting organization. In some cases, budget makers are happy to operate at a deficit, while in othercases, operating at a deficit is seen as financially irresponsible.

The budget process and its objectives -

Managers have a responsibility for achieving the objectives of the operation. Operational objectives areusually derived from the strategic plans, or more often in larger organisations the business plan.

The strategic plan of an organisation will set out the overall direction and goals of the business. Such aplan helps the organisation to define the type of business, or businesses, it is in and states the long termgoals of the organisation. Long term goals are usually no more than 3 years in the constantly changingmodern business environment. Once long term objectives are decided upon they are broken down intoone-year elements in order to provide a short-term, tactical framework for the organisation's overall oroperational budget(s).

The management team is usually responsible for the preparation of budgets and the responsibility forspecialist areas is delegated to the appropriate manager or specialist in that operational area or team.These areas may include sales, marketing, human resources, production and purchasing. In other words,any operational area that is seen as essential to achieving the organisational objectives will have a specificbudget. The number of budgets prepared within an organisation will depend on the type of industry, sizeof the business and the specific needs of management.

The accounting system of the operation provides information on what has happened in the past and helpsmangers to keep track of whether or not they are meeting their current budgets. Managers requireinformation not only from the past , however, they also need to use financial information to provideexpectations for the future. Budgets are therefore an expectation of what a manager agrees is achievable

within the immediate future and are mostly expressed in financial terms.The absence of a strategic plan or targets set by senior management often leads to more informal goal

setting by business owners or managers. These types of plans usually rely on the use of business history

and past performances to predict the future in a more ad hoc manner. The disadvantage of this method for

financial planning is that other people do not have a clear direction of where the organisation is heading

and what they are expected to do to meet the organisations objectives. This method also uses information

that is based more on intuition than hard data and may not lead to an accurate understanding of the

financial position of the organisation.

What to include in a annual plan-

The main aim of your annual business plan is to set out the strategy and action plan for your business.This should include a clear financial picture of where you stand - and expect to stand - over the comingyear.

An annual business plan should include:

an outline of changes that are required for a business

potential changes to market, customers and competition

objectives and goals for the year

key performance indicators

any issues or problems

any operational changes

information about management and people

financial performance and forecasts

details of investment in the business

A typical business planning cycle - s

1. Review current performance against last year/current year targets.

2. Work out opportunities and threats.

3. Analyse successes and failures during the previous year.

4. Look at key objectives for the coming year and change or re-establish longer-term planning.

5. Identify and refine the resource implications of your review and build a budget.

6. Define the new financial year's profit-and-loss and balance-sheet targets.7. Conclude the plan.

Review it regularly - for example, on a monthly basis - by monitoring performance, reviewing progress

and achieving objectives.

TYPES OF BUDGET

1. CAPITAL BUDGET

24


25/32

Capital budgeting (or investment appraisal) is the planning process used to determine whether a firm'slong term investments such as new machinery, replacement machinery, new plants, new products, andresearch and development projects are worth pursuing. It is aplan to finance long-term outlays, such asforfixed assets like facilities and equipment.

Many formal methods are used in capital budgeting, including the techniques such as

Net present value

Profitability index

Internal rate of return

Modified Internal Rate of Return , and

Equivalent annuity .

Net present valueEach potential project's value should be estimated using a discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation, to findits net present value (NPV). This valuation requires estimating the size and timing of all of theincremental cash flows from the project. These future cash flows are then discounted to determine theirpresent value. These present values are then summed, to get the NPV. The NPV decision rule is to acceptall positive NPV projects in an unconstrained environment, or if projects are mutually exclusive, acceptthe one with the highest NPV. The NPV is greatly affected by the discount rate, so selecting the properrate - sometimes called the hurdle rate - is critical to making the right decision. The hurdle rate is theminimum acceptable return on an investment. It should reflect the riskiness of the investment, typicallymeasured by the volatility of cash flows, and must take into account the financing mix. Managers may usemodels such as the CAPM or the APT to estimate a discount rate appropriate for each particular project,and use the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) to reflect the financing mix selected. A commonpractice in choosing a discount rate for a project is to apply a WACC that applies to the entire firm, but ahigher discount rate may be more appropriate when a project's risk is higher than the risk of the firm as awhole.

INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN

The internal rate of return (IRR) is defined as the discount rate that gives a net present value (NPV) ofzero. It is a commonly used measure of investment efficiency.

The IRR method will result in the same decision as the NPV method for independent (non-mutuallyexclusive) projects in an unconstrained environment, in the usual cases where a negative cash flow occursat the start of the project, followed by all positive cash flows. In most realistic cases, all independentprojects that have an IRR higher than the hurdle rate should be accepted. Nevertheless, for mutuallyexclusive projects, the decision rule of taking the project with the highest IRR - which is often used - mayselect a project with a lower NPV.

In some cases, several zero NPV discount rates may exist, so there is no unique IRR. The IRR exists andis unique if one or more years of net investment (negative cash flow) are followed by years of netrevenues. But if the signs of the cash flows change more than once, there may be several IRRs. The IRRequation generally cannot be solved analytically but only via iterations.

One shortcoming of the IRR method is that it is commonly misunderstood to convey the actual annualprofitability of an investment. However, this is not the case because intermediate cash flows are almostnever reinvested at the project's IRR; and, therefore, the actual rate of return is almost certainly going tobe lower. Accordingly, a measure called Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) is often used.

26/32

Despite a strong academic preference for NPV, surveys indicate that executives prefer IRR over NPV,

although they should be used in concert. In a budget-constrained environment, efficiency measures should

be used to maximize the overall NPV of the firm. Some managers find it intuitively more appealing to

evaluate investments in terms of percentage rates of return than dollars of NPV.

Equivalent annuity method

The equivalent annuity method expresses the NPV as an annualized cash flow by dividing it by thepresent value of the annuity factor. It is often used when assessing only the costs of specific projects thathave the same cash inflows. In this form it is known as the equivalent annual cost(EAC) method and isthe cost per year of owning and operating an asset over its entire lifespan.

It is often used when comparing investment projects of unequal lifespans. For example if project A has anexpected lifetime of 7 years, and project B has an expected lifetime of 11 years it would be improper tosimply compare the net present values (NPVs) of the two projects, unless the projects could not berepeated.

The use of the EAC method implies that the project will be replaced by an identical project.Alternatively the chain methodcan be used with theNPV method under the assumption that the projectswill be replaced with the same cash flows each time. To compare projects of unequal length, say 3 yearsand 4 years, the projects are chained together, i.e. four repetitions of the 3 year project are compare tothree repetitions of the 4 year project. The chain method and the EAC method give mathematicallyequivalent answers.

The assumption of the same cash flows for each link in the chain is essentially an assumption of zeroinflation, so a real interest rate rather than a nominal interest rate is commonly used in the calculations.

Real options

Real options analysis has become important since the 1970s as option pricing models have gotten more

sophisticated. The discounted cash flow methods essentially value projects as if they were risky bonds,

with the promised cash flows known. But managers will have many choices of how to increase future

cash inflows, or to decrease future cash outflows. In other words, managers get to manage the projects -

not simply accept or reject them. Real options analysis try to value the choices - the option value - that the

managers will have in the future and adds these values to theNPV.

2. CASH BUDGET

A forecast of estimated cash receipts and disbursements for a specifiedperiod oftime.

An estimation of the cash inflows and outflows for a business or individual for a specific period of time.Cash budgets are often used to assess whether the entity has sufficient cash to fulfill regular operationsand/or whether too much cash is being left in unproductive capacities.

27/32

A cash budget is extremely important, especially for small businesses, because it allows a company to

determine how much credit it can extend to customers before it begins to have liquidity problems.

For individuals, creating a cash budget is a good method for determining where their cash is regularly

being spent. This awareness can be beneficial because knowing the value of certain expenditures can

yield opportunities for additional savings by cutting unnecessary costs.

For example, without setting a cash budget, spending a dollar a day on a cup of coffee seems fairly

unimpressive. However, upon setting a cash budget to account for regular annual cash expenditures, this

seemingly small daily expenditure comes out to an annual total of $365, which may be better spent on

other things. If you frequently visit specialty coffee shops, your annual expenditure will be substantially

more.

3. OPERATING BUD GET

Operating budgets relate to the physical activities/operations of a firm such as sales , production,purchasing, debtors collection and creditors payment schedules.In specific terms, an operating budget hasthe following components:

1. Sales budget2. Production budget3. Purchase budget4. Direct labour budget5. Manufacturing expenses budget, and6. Administrative and selling expenses budget, and so on.

4. FIXED BUDGET

Budget which is made without regard to potential variations inbusiness activity. Suchbudgeting might

be effective forcompanies with low variable costs, but otherwise is likely to be inaccurate.

5. ZERO BASED BUDGET

Budgeting method for a corporation orgovernment in which all expenditures must be justified each year,

not just amounts in excess of the previous year.

6.FINANCIAL BUDGETS

Financial budgets are concerned with expected cash receipts/ disbursements, financial position and results

of operations. In other words ,a financial budget has the following components:

Flow Chart

1.Review last year s cost

Use last year's figures - as a guide

Collect historical information on volumes and costs if they are available - these could give a goodindication of likely volumes and costs. But it's also essential to consider what future plans are & howresources will be used and any changes in the competitive environment. Last year figures gives a generaland a rough idea about volumes and cost projections.

1. V olume trend forecast :

What are the projected volumes for the budget period. This includes:

an outline of changes that you want to make to your business

potential changes to your market, customers and competition

your objectives and goals for the year

your key performance indicators

any issues or problems

any operational changes

information about your management and people

your financial performance and forecasts

details of investment in the business.

For eg. In the figure shown below a graph has been drawn on the basis of current year volumetrend and then a forecast for the next year on the basis of same has been made which gives arough idea about what could be the volume trend next year and accordingly the budget isprepared.

2. Cost trend forecast:

Costs - typically, a business will have three kinds of costs:

1. Fixed costs - items such as rent, rates, salaries and financing costs

2. Variable costs - including raw materials and overtime

3. One-off capital costs - purchases of computer equipment or premises

First step is to break down the fixed costs and overheads by type, eg:

cost of premises, including rent, business rates and service charges

staff costs - e.g. wages, benefits, National Insurance

28


29/32

utilities - e.g. heating, lighting, telephone

printing, postage and stationery

vehicle expenses

equipment costs

advertising and promotion

travel and subsistence expenses

legal and professional costs, including insurance

How costs behave

Different kinds of costs are said to 'behave' in different ways.Fixed costs are, as the name suggests, fixedand will remain at the same level regardless of the number of units of output. For example, rent of abuilding doesn't change with a change in the number of units produced, but variable costs relate directly

to the units of output and are expressed as dollars per unit. Variable costs, such as the cost of rawmaterials, increase as the number of units of output increases and vice versa.

While there is a tendency for fixed costs to be indirect and variable costs to be direct this is not alwaystrue. The concepts of direct/indirect and fixed/variable are very different and many operations havevariable overheads (an indirect cost) or direct labour as a fixed cost, particularly over a short period oftime.

Adding together fixed costs and the variable costs gives the total cost. Also adding together direct costsand the indirect costs also gives the total cost. With a single product/service organisation simply add thefixed and variable costs and allocate the total across all units of output, but with a multi product/serviceorganisation allocation ofthe direct costs to the units of output and apportion the indirect costs 'fairly'across the units of output should be done.

Allocating Overheads

By looking at overhead costs (or indirect costs) as being incurred while providing a service to theprocessthat produces the output. In a business with a single line product or service all the overheads are incurredin providing a service to the output process. In a business with multi-product or service lines we mustdecide how much of the service provided by the overheads is used by each line of product or serviceoutput .After working out a split of the services provided by the overheads, apportion the cost.

So the problem is to find a basis or measure by which the amount of services provided by the overheads isused by each kind of output. This basis must be observable and in some way measurable. One way to dothis is to share out the overheads equally over the units of output, and this can be done if the outputs getthe identical benefit from the overheads.

In practice, a commonly used method is based on direct labour hours (DLH). The logic is that a productor service output that requires more direct labour hours is using more of the services from the overheads.Also many overheads relate to time. For example, the expenses related to rent, lighting, heating,manager's salaries and other overheads for a week will be close to half the amount for two weeks and soon. Direct labour hours are easily measured and can be related directly to each job. This information isalready collected to calculate the direct labour costfor each job.

There isn't a single 'correct' way to allocate overheads. By definition overheads don't relate directly to ajob, so the best can be done is find a basis that seems logical or fair. As we want to give usefulinformation to decision makers any method that gives 'acceptable' results is an acceptable method.

4.Macro level assumptions on future initiatives ,changes & business road map-

Identify and think through all the critical assumptions. Prepare outline projections to confirm their overalldirection, examine the critical elements in detail and consider strategic issues relating to volumes,profitability, funding etc.

- Some assumption variables used to produce projected P&Ls, cashflows and balance sheetsfor a business.

Tax ratesInterest ratesManagement & administrationGeneral overheadsChanges in loans/debtBad debt provisionsGeneral overheadsOperating leases & HPTarget finished stocksFixed asset valuesIntangible assets

Accumulated depreciationPrepayments/accrualsMaterial/WIP stocksCapital expenditureShare issuesDirect manpower levelsCapital & revenue grantsDividendsWage ratesFixed asset disposalsMaterial costs

It also includes defining the key objectives for the coming year and change or re-establishment of longer-term planning.

5.Discussion & approval from higher management on macro level-

Budgeting process starts initially at macro level. Initially it is allocated for organisation as a whole & then

divided accordingly for regions, units and sub units (eg. First it will be allocated for a organisation then

can be divided for regions which can be further subdivided area wise then comes into picture different

units and then different departments).This is done keeping in view the above mentioned guidelines i.e.volume& cost trend analysis and other market regulatory trends. Once higher management approves the

macro level budget then middle management and regional managers allocate their budget accordingly.

30


31/32

6.Feedback & inputs from middle management-

After approval at macro level budget is allocated by middle management and smaller units and sub units.

It is then combined and compared with macro level budget and differences are analyzed. Any increases or

dips in the budget should be explained fairly.

It's best to ask staff with to provide with estimates of figures for budgeting purpose. Its a very importantstep as by balancing their estimates against own, helps in achieving a more realistic budget. . This

involvement will also give them greater commitment to meeting the budget.

7.Micro level distribution of budget on basis of business volumes &business ar ea-
