5.2 Horizontal analysis Methods of financial statement analysis generally involve comparing certain information. The horizontal analysis compares specific items over a number of accounting periods. For example, accounts payable may be compared over a period of months within a fiscal year, or revenue may be compared over a period of several years. It is a procedure in fundamental analysis in which an analyst compares ratios or line items in a company's financial statements over a certain period of time. The analyst will use his or her discretion when choosing a particular timeline; however, the decision is often based on the investing time horizon under consideration.

B) Vertical Analysis It is a method of financial statement analysis in which each entry for each of the three major categories of accounts (assets, liabilities and equities) in a balance sheet is represented as a proportion of the total account. The main advantages of analyzing a balance sheet in this manner are that the balance sheets of businesses of all sizes can easily be compared. It also makes it easy to see relative annual changes in one business. When using vertical analysis, the analyst calculates each item on a single financial statement as a percentage of a total. The term vertical analysis applies because each year's figures are listed vertically on a financial statement. The total used by the analyst on the income statement is net sales revenue, while on the balance sheet it is total assets. This approach to financial statement analysis, also known as component percentages, produces common-size financial statements. Common-size balance sheets and income statements can be more easily compared, whether across the years for a single company or across different companies.

Products are excellent Expansion is consistent Modernized banking (online + Internet) Fully computerized, each department has to own PC.
10.2 WEAKNESSES BCCI Image. Mixed Culture New Setup No ATM facility is provided
Page 61
No traveler cheques are issued. Tokens are not issued to customer so the chances of doubling are present. No credit card facility is available. Personal Lockers are not available. No internal audit is held. Staff is lesser.
10.3 OPPORTUNITIES 10.4 THREATS Competition Legal Reputation Information Technology. Credit Card Facility Internet Banking Establishing Foreign Branches Local Setup Expand
10.5 Recommendations Finally, We are giving some suggestions for Bank Alfalah Limited. These suggestions are based on our experience with bank. This is a routine practice that in order to give personalized services to the customer, bank staff tries to fill all the columns of AOE with their own handwriting, which is wrong. AOE must be filled in by the customers. Bankers should avoid to fill in the AOE because it can create problem if the address, title of account or any other information provided by the customer has not been written properly. Customer may be affected or he may claim that this information was not provided by him, but if AOE is filled by the customer then banker cannot be held responsible for any incorrect information provided by the customer. Under no circumstances chequebook should be given to the customer if the account formalities are incomplete.
Page 62
There are two officers involved in cash deposit process, which is time consuming. Cashier should be given certain powers to receive cash of US$, DM and L to provide prompt services. Similarly, there are two officers involved in cheque payment process, which is time consuming. Cashier should be given certain powers to pay cheques up to Rs. 25,000/- to provide prompt services. Cheques, which are drawn on Bank Alfalah Branch and returned unpaid in clearing, are not reflected in the Statement of Account of the customers. These cheques must be reflected in the accounts so that credibility of the customers may be assessed. Tokens should be issued to avoid doubling. Lockers, ATM, credit card, traveler cheques all these facilities should be provided to attract more customers. Audit should be held internally. Rather there should be an Audit Department in the branch to make audit on daily basis. This can become so helpful as different banks are having this department of their own.
Marketing Practices Adopted by Bank Nowadays marketing of products is of prime importance for any organization. In this dynamic environment, every organization has its own Marketing Department, which is responsible for creating the demand of its goods and services. Nowadays banks also have their marketing departments, which are responsible for creating demand of their products, i.e., their deposit schemes and increasing the deposit of the bank. Bank Alfalah has its own full marketing Department at the Head Office, Karachi. This department prepares different deposit schemes for its customers, time to time, in order to increase the business of the bank. At branch level, the Operations Department follows marketing practices. At each branch of bank, officers are available to provide marketing activities of their products. They make customer calls and personally visit the potential customer to convince them to invest in AFB. They make phone calls to customers and inform them about their schemes, profit rates.
