with the accounting and book keeping as the financial matters of the organization are discussed in the head office of the FFBL at Rawalpindi. Finance department in details is discussed in the 4th
chapter.
4 FINANCE DEPARTMENT
As we reached the finance department, we were received there by Mr. Hamid Tariq, with whom we had a very brief meeting, who told us about the different sections of finance at the plant site, which mainly covered the operation part, but the different sections are given as below:
1) Book Keeping Section
2) Budgeting Section
3) Disbursement Section
4) Sales and Distribution Section
After that, we were handed a book for code of conduct for procurement called Product Procurement Manual (PPM) and were sent to Book Keeping Section under the supervision of Mr. Jawed Khan.
4.1 BOOK KEEPING SECTION:
As I went to the Book Keeping section, Mr. Javed gave us time to thoroughly go through the Procurement Manual which they said had all the ingredients of their nature of transaction they make every day.
Procurement Manual:
PPM explains the procedure of procurement in a systematic and explicit way for procurement of all types of products and services acquired by FFBL. It is a complete code of conduct for Procurement at FFBL either at head office or Bin Qasim including giving descriptions for the functions of different departments in the procurement.
Manual includes:
i. Introduction.ii. Abbreviation.

19 | P a g eInternship Report by Khurrum Atta & Adil Ghouri
v. Purchase Requisition.
vi. Request for Quotations. vii. Purchase Order Contract.
viii. Low Value and Spot Purchase.The procurement manual though is an out-dated code of conduct for the organization
after the inception of SAP, but still the procedure of procurement explained in the document isn’t totally inappropriate. After going through the scripture in detail, I was able to understand and acknowledge many new aspect of procurement in a large business organization like FFBL.

The Book Keeping Section is itself bifurcated into four sections conducting three separate functions, they are as follows:
a) Invoicing section- This section is operated and monitored by Mr. Jawed Khan and Mr. Nauman Majeed in which they book and check the invoices against their purchase orders. This was purely a part of payable nature and we got to learn how to book invoices in SAP and post it for disbursement.
b) Banks reconciliation and petty cash account- This account is operated by Mr. Atique Ghanchi who reconcile bank statements with the accounting books for differential payments. He also looks after the petty cash account for everyday advances given to the employees for purchase of goods and services for their respective departments under an amount of Rs. 10000. Some other accounts such as earnest money, vendor registration fee, etc are also operated by Mr. Atique Ghanchi. He encouraged me to take full part in learning how they perform all these activities on SAP with abundance of new aspects of accounting explicitly explained by him.
c) Reconciliation for Vendors Account- This section is taken care of by Mr. Tanveer Ahmed whose main function is to equate the data of receipts of vendors from the accounting data in their company’s books against the payments made in advance to the vendors in the records of FFBL. Despite of their eventful time, He gave us full insight of his functions and description of his work procedures.
d) Sales Tax Returns- General Sales Tax returns, are worked out by Mr. Nasir. In this section we learned that FFBL gets a rebate for GST which they pay to their vendors for the purchases of material from Government of Pakistan. We also learned how to calculate GST which is different for different nature of products.
21 | P a g eInternship Report by Khurrum Atta & Adil Ghouri
4.2 SALES AND DISTRIBUTION SECTION:
In the sales and distribution section, we were entertained by Mr. Nadeem Akhtar and Mr. Hassan Mumtaz. At first, they explained us about the procedure of sales and the distribution channel practiced by FFBL. They told us that entire marketing for the SONA Granular Urea and SONA DAP is done by Fauji Fertilizer Limited Company and the Sales and Distribution Section of FFBL controls the Haulage Transportation service which delivers goods to different warehouses located in various cities and districts of Pakistan.
The SD section also, through the integrated information system of SAP, keeps complete information for the status of their distribution channel at all times and it is updated on day to day basis. This data covers the information of their products stocked at the various warehouses present anywhere in Pakistan. The data for sales is provided to them by FFC, as they do the sales and marketing for FFBL’s produced goods, and then the SD section updates their SAP database and equates it with the data provided to them by plant-site warehouse.
4.3 BUDGETING SECTION:
In the budgeting section we were entertained by Mr. Ghulam Jilani and Mr. Mohammad Shafiq. Budgeting is the most important part as it provides you the estimated future expense or cost of your company. It reviews and analyzes operations and capital expenditure budget and constantly monitors it through SAP reports on the monthly basis.
In this section, we were told that about its functions and significance. After the inception of SAP, the job of budgeting have become lesser in terms of paper work but still the budget monitoring and costing is very challenging. The major Functions of Budgeting Section are given below:
Review and analyze operations and Capital Expenditure Budget
Budget Monitoring
Preparation of Monthly MIS Report
Preparation of product Cost Sheet
Review of Product Requisitions of direct purchase for local and foreign material
Review Contracted Out Service
22 | P a g eInternship Report by Khurrum Atta & Adil Ghouri
Reviewing Operations and CAPEX Budget:
Budgets are made on annual basis by FFBL in such a way that every department send their budget inputs for the next fiscal year with comprehensive description to the budgeting department by 15th August of each year. These budget inputs are then compiled on SAP on the basis of different cost centers. These budgets are then reviewed on various levels from section head to department managers then to GMP and then to GMF & MD with meeting on each level. Then the budget is posted to HO which is further sent to the Board of Directors for final approval.
Budget Monitoring:
Monitoring of the budget is carried out on monthly basis in which variances for budgeted amount against the actual amount is calculated. These reports are then issued to the respected cost centers for reviews and discussions are carried out at the section head level to find out reasons for variances, if required. These Budget variance reports are then added to MIS report which is made on the monthly basis.
MIS Report:
MIS report is a comprehensive report made by the budgeting department on monthly basis which gives a complete picture for the current expenses of the company in different departments or in different particulars. MIS report is comprised of the following:
Budget Variance Report
Production Performance Report
Bulk Material Report
Feed & Fuel Gas Analysis
Overtime Statement
Medical Expenses
Training Plan
Recurring Contracts
Telephone & Fax Expenses
Company’s Vehicle Running Expenses
Contracted Out Services
23 | P a g eInternship Report by Khurrum Atta & Adil Ghouri
CAPEX overall Projects Summary
Projects in Progress
This MIS report is then dispatched to GMP and GMF FFBL.
Product Cost Sheet:
Another function for budgeting section is to generate a product cost sheet in which after calculating all the expenses for their production, they compute the variable cost for Ammonia, DAP and UREA per Metric Ton.
4.4 Disbursement Section:
The major function for the disbursement section was to make payments to the vendors or contractors. In the disbursement section, I learned about the how payments were made against the invoices, cheques are prepared and a journal voucher is finalized with copies of purchase requisition, purchase order, comparative statement, invoice and payee’s cheque attached to it.
24 | P a g eInternship Report by Khurrum Atta & Adil Ghouri
5 Conclusions And Suggestions
5.1 Conclusion:
Lack of awareness about the new technology,
Lack of knowledge about new implemented decisions ,
Lack of job satisfaction of employees,
Paper system is still present even after the inception of SAP in FFBL, and
Less concentration on the expansion of business.
5.2 Suggestions:
The company should have more on the job training programs,
New implemented decisions should be discussed from top to bottom,
There should be lectures for the job satisfaction of employees, and
The database should be managed within the SAP storage so the paper system be eliminated.
The management is not considering to expand FFBL, they are maintaining there pre-established venture.
