1. 1. 2: Origin of the Report

I have 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, ShaikhBorhanuddinPostGraduateCollege, 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. 1. 3: Objectives of the Report

The report purports to focus on two aspects:

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 researcher will try to identify corporate philosophy as well as customer opinion on what constitutes a better service. Lastly, an attempt will be made to find out various problems hindering the growth of the NBFI. The researcher will attempt to present an overview of Consumer  Divisions different operations. After analyzing analogous situation in other areas a steps will be suggested to overcome the barriers to progress.

1. 2. 2: Methodology

The paper will be written on the basis of information collected from primary and secondary sources. The primary information has been collected from the Institution and as well as some general clients of the Non Banking Financial Institution.

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.

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.

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.

Operational Risk

Operational risk is the potential loss arising from a break down in company’s system and producers, internal control, compliance requirements or corporate governance practices that results in human error, fraud, failure, damage of reputations, delay to perform or compromise of the company’s interests by employees.

5.2.1: Industry Analysis

Strategy analysis involves three types of analysis. These are: Industry analysis, competitive analysis and Corporate Strategy Analysis. The vast research reveals that the average profitability of an industry is influenced by the “Five Forces “which are as 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

A)  Intra industry rivalry:

  • Number of competitors: In banking and non banking financial institution industry, the number of firms is high. So, the intra-industry rivalry is high.
  • Industry growth: The industry is growing fast in Bangladesh. From this point of view, intra-industry rivalry is low.
  • Concentration and Balance of Competitors: As there are other dominant firms except IDLC finance ltd. in this type of industry, it cannot set and enforce the rules of competition, it can only cooperate with other players to avoid destructive competition.
  • 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.

(C)   Bargaining power of buyers:

  • Buying volume: For Some buyers who can invest in large volume have the bargaining power very high.
  • Product differentiation: Most of the products offered by different firms in the industry are virtually identical. So, here the bargaining power of buyer is high.
  • Production costs: As the buyers are aware of cost, the bargaining power of buyers is high.

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.
  • Percentage of suppliers’ business: As the big depositors are low in number, 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 mode of financing of SME Division of IDLC includes lease, term loans, short term financing through factoring, bill discounting, etc. During 2011 SME Division has disbursed BDT 2,712 million against BDT 1,820 million in 2010 showing a robust growth of 63%. As on December 31, 2011 the SME asset size of the Company stands at BDT 4,144 million compared to BDT 2,544 million at December 31, 2010.

Company’s Corporate Finance Division which provides mainly lease and term loans to large corporate houses has disbursed BDT 1,633 million during 2011 compared to BDT 1,929 million during 2010. The year end asset of the division stands at BDT 4,638 million. As the corporate financing continued to face stiff competition from commercial banks as regard to the pricing, they are focusing more on other financing where return is comparatively better to increase the overall value for shareholders. 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.

6.1.2: Real Estate Finance

Although the real estate and housing industry experienced a setback during 2011 with fall sales due to non-availability of electricity and gas connections as per government decision and hike in apartment price, IDLC’s housing finance operation witnessed a reasonable growth of 15%.
