1.1 Introduction

This internship is a part of the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) program that
provides an on-the-job experience to students. I was placed as a trainee at Four H group,
Munsurabad, Chittagong, which is also head office of Four H Group. This internship program
was my very first on-the-job exposure and provided me with learning experience and knowledge
in several areas. During my internship period, I was able to get accustomed to the working
environment of Four H Group. As the internship continued, I not only learned activities and
operations of the garments industry, but I also gathered some knowledge about basic business
activities of ready made garments. The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry occupies a
unique position in the Bangladesh economy. It is the largest exporting industry in Bangladesh,
which experienced phenomenal growth during the last 25 years. By taking advantage of an
insulated market under the provision of Multi Fiber Agreement (MFA) of GATT, it attained a
high profile in terms of foreign exchange earnings, exports, industrialization and contribution to
GDP within a short span of time. The industry plays a key role in employment generation and in
the provision of income to the poor. Nearly four million workers are directly and more than
twelve million inhabitants are indirectly associated with the industry. Over the past twenty-five
years, the number of manufacturing units has grown from 180 to over 4000. The sector has also
played a significant role in the socio-economic development of the country.

Garments industry is the largest export industry for our country and it contributes 75% of total
export. The industry is associated with its strength, weakness, threat and opportunity.

Four H Group pursues decentralized management policies and gives adequate work freedom to
the employees. This result in less pressure for the workers and acts as a motivational tool for
them, which gives them, increased encouragement and inspiration to move up the ladder of
success.

Over all I have experienced a very friendly and supporting environment at Four H group, which
gives me pleasure and satisfaction to be a part of them for a while. While working in different
departments of this company I have found each and every employee too friendly to me to
cooperate.

They have discussed in detail about their respective tasks. I have also participated with their
works.

JOB RESPONSIBILITY AND OBSERVATION

o Job Responsibility
o Job Observations
 3.1 Job Responsibility

I was assigned at the Four H Group, Munsurabad, Chittagong, to complete my internship

program. During my three (3) months internship program I enjoyed the work at the bank but
most importantly I learned how to work under pressure with great responsibilities. Throughout
this time I have got the opportunity to work with different department of Four H Group. There
are various departments in Four h group but I specifically worked on following sector:

 Cash
 Banking
 Billing
 Taxing


3.1.1 Cash Department

The first week I was in the Cash Department. Generally they don’t usually put interns in this
department but I was lucky to see firsthand what happens behind the counter. I did have much
responsibility in that department as I was not to mess with their hectic and hasty transactions, but
they eventually make me habited in cash. My responsibilities in this department were just to
assist them in any way possible. I learned the following from this department:

 Counting money in various ways

 Use the counting machine
 Input transaction in Tally software
  Counting the vouchers
 Maintain check register book in proper way

3.1.2 Banking Department

As Four H group is concern with a large scale of Ready Made Garments Products, It has a
banking department larger than I thought because most of the import and export related
transaction take place through bank. It is one of the most important departments I worked on. I
worked here more days than other departments and the major learning from this department:
 Entry monthly transaction through LC in excel sheet.
 Calculation of loss or gain from exchange of USD.
 Dissevers salary into respective accounts.
 Entry monthly transaction through LC in Tally software.

3.1.3 Bill Department

This department is a sensitive department as this department is responsible to pay the suppliers
through checking all the related documents attached with bill. I worked in this department more
than 15 days and I learned here:

 Checking bills in a proper way.

 Adjust the bill with inter suppliers.
 Making journal entry in tally software.
 Making payment through check to suppliers.

3.1.4 Tax department

Tax is a compulsory payment to government is thus important sector for any organization. A
export related organization must pay a certain amount of taxes to govt. and its need to be
calculated. Working for 15 days in this department I learned about:

 Source Tax.
 Taxation system for Ready Made Garments Industry.
 Deduction of tax from party payment.

3.2 Observation

Working at Four H Group was a great experience for me. I have learnt many things from them.
From my little knowledge what I have observed and some recommendations are as follows:
It was very interesting working at a Garments Industry. The people there are really nice and
talented. The things that I have noticed and observed are:

 Work environment is very friendly and employees are co-operative.

 Employees are active and sincere to their assigned job responsibilities.
 Work is never left pending for the next day unless it is absolutely necessary.
 The work process could be made faster with better computers and operating systems.
 There is always a rush of customers so there is no standard on what the employees do
throughout the day. The work activities of an employee are set, but what to do when
varies along the day.
 The work activities are always set and divided for each of the employees. This is the way
it should be, but when I saw it firsthand it was remarkable. Each and every employee has
a certain set of responsibilities. He/she carries out those responsibilities throughout the
day. It is also easy to assign duties that way. Even though this is the case, I often saw
other staff members helping each other out.
 There is less coordination between casual staffs like tea boy, peon and cleaner

Financial Analysis

4.0 Starting

The three main financial statements are the profit and loss statement (the income statement), the
balance sheet, and the cash flow statement. Each of the financial statements may show a different
perspective of the company, but each financial statement is designed to show you the money
where the money came from, where the money went, and where the money is right now.

Applying financial ratios and accounting formulas to the financial statements can provide
valuable insight into the company’s profitability, financial strength, and efficiency of operations.
Findings
 Recommendation

Garments sector plays a very important role to earn foreign exchange to our country. A large
number of foreign money comes Garments sector plays a very important role to earn foreign
exchange to our country. A large amount of foreign money comes from the exporting of
Garments. However a large number of workers maintain their live on this sector. Specially the
women. So, government should take special nursing in garments sector. That’s IT sportswear ltd
is one of the leading export oriented garment in the country though its overall performance is
well Some extra points are given to accelerate the present position :

 The authority should be positive about audit. They have to realize that audit gives them the
opportunity to justify their work.
 That’s It sportswear Ltd. should follow international standard to making financial position and
also analyzing the balance sheet through various ratios for determining efficiency, profit-earning
capacity, financial solvency etc.
 Cost control system must be implemented at every stage in the organization.

 They should determine yearly inventory cost like ordering cost, carrying cost acquisition cost
separately.

 They should determine optimum level of inventory.

 They should computerize their every level of inventory.

For purchasing raw materials, the company should follow acquisition procedure strictly.
 Inter project fund transfer should be kept by using proper accounting standard.
 Adequate training facilities provided for personnel for development .Should follow a specific
inventory costing method, in the context of rising trend in raw materials price.

 Sound communication should be established between managing directors to Head office

auditors. Steps to be taken to provide proper data & information.

 Most of the officer has to motive to teach every employees and researcher of their own
inspiration.

 A specific department for training and research, which will provide adequate training and
research facilities for personnel for development.

 Every department will communicate their problem with other department of the company

 Medical facilities should be improved.

 Effective personnel management should be set up.

 Proper steps should be taken to stop power failure.

 Various motivations will be provided to workers for sound production.

 Conclusion
