Introduction:

The Internship program of Stamford UniversityBangladesh is an integral part of the BBA program for the BBA students of the faculty of Business studies. After completion of the program period of a student must submit the report on the assigned topic to the supervisor and the department. Three credit hours for this internship program out of 130 credit hours of the program. The program is of three months duration. I was assigned to  the City Bank Limited, Nikunja  Branch to complete the program. During this period I worked with the employees of the organization. In consulting with the supervisor of the program I have selected a tropic “Financial Statement Analysis of City Bank Limited.”

Origin of the Report:

Through the internship in Nikunja Branch of the City Bank Limited, I tried to abridge the gap between the theoretical knowledge and real life experience as part of Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) program. This internship report has been designed to have a practical experience through the theoretical understanding.

This internship is essential for every students of Business Administration which helps the students to know the real life situation of corporate life. That’s why; a student takes the internship program in the end of the BBA program as the requirement for bachelors’ degree.

In this regard I had been assigned in the City Bank Limited, Nikunja Branch immediately after completion of the course requirement of the program. I had been supervised there by the management of the Bank to gather information which is necessary to prepare my report.

Background of the study

With the pages of time it was felt that banks in the private sector were given the role of engine of development .For the first time seven bank were allowed in 1983 to operate in the private sector. In the 90s development efforts with in the private sector orientation got a boost and eight more banks are allowed in the private sector in1995. A number of banks (13) were also allowed branches in the country stands at around 6000.

The City Bank Limited pursues decentralized management policies and gives adequate work freedom to the employees.

      By paying specified registration fees to the CCI&E. the trader will get [RC/ERC (Import/Export Registration Certificate), to open L/C with bank, this IRC is must

Step 2 – Determination terms of credit

      The terms of the letter of credit are depending upon the contract between the Importer and exporter. The terms of the credit specify the amount of credit, name and address of the beneficiary and opener, tenor of the bill of exchange, period and mode of shipment and of destination, nature of credit, expiry date, name and number of sets of shipping documents etc

Step 3 – Proposal for Opening of L/C

To have an import L/C limit an importer submits an application to department to Shahjalal Islami Bank Ltd. The proposal contains the following particulars:

•       Full particulars of the bank account
•       Nature of business
•       Required amount of limit
•       Payment terms and conditions
•       Goods to be imported
•       Offered security
•       Repayment schedule

Step 4 – Application by importer to the banker to open letter of credit

Step 5 – Opening of L/C by the bank for the opener:

•       Taking filled up application form from the importer.
•       Collects credit report of exporter from exporter’s country through his foreign correspondence there.

Opening bank then issues credit by air mail/TEL EX/SWIFT followed by L/C advice as asked by the opener through his foreign correspondent or branch as the case may be, at the place of beneficiary. The advising bank advises the L/C to the beneficiary on his own form where it is addressed to him or merely hand over the original L/C to the beneficiary if it is so addressed.

Step 6 – Shipment of goods and lodgment of documents by exporter:

•       Then exporter ships the goods to the destination of the importer country.
•       Sends die documents to the L/C opening bank through his negotiating bank.

Generally the following documents are sent to the Opening Banker with L/C:

Step 7 – Lodgment of Documents by the opening Bank from the negotiating bank

After receiving the documents, the opening banker scrutinizes the documents. If any discrepancy found, it informs the importer, if importer accepts the fault, then opening bankers call importer retiring the document. At this time many thing can happen. These are indicated in the following:

• Discrepancy found but the importer accepts – no problem occurs in lodgment.

Discrepancy found and importer not agreed to accept – In this case, importer protest and send back all the documents to the exporter and request his to make in the specified manner. Here banker is not bound to pay because the documents send by exporter is not in accordance with the terms of L/C.

 Documents are OK but importer is willing to retire the documents – In this case bank is obligated to pay the price of exported goods. Since importer did not pay for bill of exchange, this payment by bank is one kind of credit to the importer and this credit in banking is known as PAD.

 Everything is O.K. but importer fails to clear goods from the port and request bank to clear – In this case banks clear the goods and takes delivery of the same by paying customs duty and sales tax etc. So, this expenditure is debited to the importer’s account and in banking it is called LIM.

Step 8 – Retirement

The importer receives the intimation and gives necessary instruction to the bank for retirement of the import bills or for the disposal of the shipping document to clear the imported goods from the customs authority. The importer may instruct the bank to retire the documents by debiting his account with the bank or may ask for LTR (Loan against Trust Receipt .When the officer thinks fit the application to open a L/C, giving the following entries creates the following charge.
