INTRODUCTION
Financial management focuses on ratios, equities and debts. It is useful for portfolio management,
distribution of dividend, capital raising, hedging and looking after fluctuations in foreign currency
and product cycles. Financial managers are the people who will do research and based on the
research, decide what sort of capital to obtain in order to fund the company's assets as well as
maximizing the value of the firm for all the stakeholders. It also refers to the efficient and effective
management of money (funds) in such a manner as to accomplish the objectives of the
organization. It is the specialized function directly associated with the top management. The
significance of this function is not seen in the 'Line' but also in the capacity of the 'Staff' in overall
of a company. It has been defined differently by different experts in the field.
The term typically applies to an organization or company's financial strategy, while personal
finance or financial life management refers to an individual's management strategy. It includes how
to raise the capital and how to allocate capital, i.e. capital budgeting. Not only for long term
budgeting, but also how to allocate the short term resources like current liabilities. It also deals
with the dividend policies of the share holders.
Personal finance is the financial management which an individual or a family unit performs
to budget, save, and spend monetary resources over time, taking into account various financial
risks and future life events.[1] When planning personal finances, the individual would consider the
suitability to his or her needs of a range of banking products (checking, savings accounts, credit
cards and consumer loans) or investment private equity, (stock market, bonds, mutual funds) and
insurance (life insurance, health insurance, disability insurance) products or participation and
monitoring of and- or employer-sponsored retirement plans, social security benefits, and income
tax management.

There are several options that one can use for managing their finances, this could be either
managing them on your own, hire a full time employee, hire a part time accountant or a third party
who manages all finance related activities for you, for example a Chartered Accountant.
Most often organizations have a dedicated department that looks after the financial matters of the
company. A finance manager is designated for handling finance and managing its resources within
an enterprise. All finance-related decisions are taken at this position. Depending on the company
profile the finance department can have several designations to cater to the various needs of the
company.
As a NGO you might be thinking your primary task is to work towards social service and not
financial management. But unless your finances and funds are sorted, you cannot achieve your
objectives. The primary significance of financial planning and management in NGOs lies in
achieving its overall goals and objectives. Here are some points indicating the importance of
financial management for an NGO.
Being accountable to the donors: Most NGOs rely completely on funding and therefore
having proper accounting systems in place becomes all the more important. As a NGO you
need to be accountable to the donor agencies and individuals who support your cause. With
proper systems in place you can keep track of your expenditures and submit timely reports
to them. This would lead to enhanced trust between you and the donor, thereby increasing
the chances of your NGO getting a continuous support from them. With limited funding it
is important for an NGO to manage all the funds in a careful manner. Furthermore, proper
finance systems will also help the NGO maintain financial reports and showcase their entire
spending to the regulatory bodies as per the agreed terms.
Securing future: The present financial condition of any organization determines its future.
In a similar manner, NGOs should also opt for sustainable use of finance. This simply
means that NGOs should spend in their present ventures, keeping in mind the future. After
all, it is quite important to have future plans and become well secured as well as future-
ready.
Eliminating fraud and theft: Malpractices and illegal deeds such as overuse of resources,
fraud and theft have become prevalent among NGOs. Firm checks are mandatory, for
minimizing such illicitness and preventing abuse of resources. With complete financial
planning, coordination and control, these issues can be easily addressed.
Making productive decisions: With sound financial management, NGOs can make more
productive decisions concerning resource allocation, fund raising, fund mobilizing and
other undertakings. Good decision making skill enables right amount of funds to be
invested at the right place. Funds are therefore efficiently and optimally utilized.
Achieving objectives: Every NGO is guided by certain policies and procedures, which are
related to its overall objectives. Each decision that is undertaken by the authority is driven
towards successful achievement of its set goals and objectives. Without organizing finance,
it will be difficult for the organization and its employees to reach its aim and fulfill purpose
of its existence.
Enhancing credibility: Managing finance is a matter of skills and tactics that ideally
changes from time to time. With excellent finance management, NGOs enhance their image
that enhances its value and making them more credible. By framing well defined financial
plans and policies NGOs also earn good reputation within its community. They can also
improve their current position and look forward to gain trust, faith and reliability.
Strengthening fundraising efforts: Most of the NGOs solely survive on its funds. Well
organized financial resources help in strengthening fundraising efforts by giving an overall
idea about available finance and the amount of finance that needs to be accumulated. Thus,
employees get a fair idea regarding the expected amount and plan their fundraising ventures
accordingly.

Developing a financial policy is a matter of time, effort and resources. Depending on the size of
your NGO, the time required for developing a policy may vary and may take anything between ten
days to few months. Once the first draft of the policy document is ready, it is it is reviewed and re-
assessed to make it relevant to NGOs overall mission and vision statement.
The policy is generally developed though a series of brainstorming sessions where board members,
senior team members discuss and formulate the policy.

Assessing the need: The very first step in making a policy is to understand its purpose.
NGOs need to address specific needs or objectives while making financial policies.
Identifying the purpose will give a strong foundation and base to overall policy
development. Therefore, it is the most significant stage in the policy making procedure.
Identifying key roles & responsibilities: Once you the purpose of the policy, it is time to
define important roles and responsibilities according to expertise. At this stage, key
members are designated in their respective positions. Responsibilities are delegated to
individuals, groups, sub-committees or working group, depending on organizational
structure and functioning. Disseminating key roles also help in identifying important
individuals/group, which shall be responsible for various aspects of financial management.
It also helps in categorizing scope of financial tasks and activities and the lead person
behind it.
Gathering Information: While developing the policy you will need information related to
financial resources, assets and other available sources of financial data. All such data
should be accumulated, analyzed and then be used for framing initial policy content. It is
best to gather whatever information is available from the market and then classify. By
doing so, it will give a reflection of environment, factors and other features which might
affect or help in making financial policy for a Non-Governmental Organization.
Drafting policy: While many NGOs do the initial draft in pen and papers, others prefer
doing in word doc. No matter which mode you opt, you need to be careful while choosing
the words, language, length, complexity, style and tone. Words must be simple, without any
jargons. Do not complicate the document that it is difficult to understand and implement its
clauses. For a policy to be fair, realistic and acceptable, it is important to have a structured
approach.
Consulting with appropriate stakeholders: Stakeholders play a major role in formulating
financial policies of NGOs. After the first draft has been prepared, it is best to involve the
stakeholders since they are the ones, mostly moved by policies. Stakeholders can be anyone
including individuals and organizations that might positively or negatively, directly or
indirectly affect or be affected by the activities stated in the policy package. In ideal
circumstances, stakeholders and policy-makers sit together and discuss about the potential
implications of the financial policy. Based on whether the NGO decides to develop its
internal governance or external policy positions, the appropriate stakeholders are consulted.
Implementing: Once steps have been taken the clauses of the policy are communicated
with the target audience. Proper training and guidance is provided to the staff and
volunteers to support and enhance the quality of policy execution. Multi-national NGOs
often conduct conference to spread awareness about their financial policy.
Monitoring & Reviewing: In order to ensure that policy gets implemented in the best
possible way, constant monitoring, reviewing and revision are done. It is seen that
monitoring systems and reporting modules are accessible and responsive. By establishing
suitable reviewing systems, policy heads can keep a firm check on overall execution of
policy and be sure about its proper functionality. In case it is seen that the policy has
loopholes in certain sections, the same is amended and fine-tuned for best results.
Monitoring and reviewing gives an overall assessment about the ultimate benefits of
framing the policy
Financial Management means planning, organizing, directing and controlling the financial activities
such as procurement and utilization of funds of the enterprise. It means applying general
management principles to financial resources of the enterprise.
Scope/Elements
Investment decisions includes investment in fixed assets (called as capital budgeting). Investment in
current assets are also a part of investment decisions called as working capital decisions.
Financial decisions - They relate to the raising of finance from various resources which will depend
upon decision on type of source, period of financing, cost of financing and the returns thereby.
Dividend decision - The finance manager has to take decision with regards to the net profit
distribution. Net profits are generally divided into two:
Retained profits- Amount of retained profits has to be finalized which will depend upon expansion
and diversification plans of the enterprise.
The financial management is generally concerned with procurement, allocation and control of
financial resources of a concern. The objectives can be-
Determination of capital composition: Once the estimation have been made, the capital structure
have to be decided. This involves short- term and long- term debt equity analysis. This will depend
upon the proportion of equity capital a company is possessing and additional funds which have to
be raised from outside parties.
Choice of sources of funds: For additional funds to be procured, a company has many choices like-
Retained profits - The volume has to be decided which will depend upon expansional, innovational,
diversification plans of the company.
Management of cash: Finance manager has to make decisions with regards to cash management.
Cash is required for many purposes like payment of wages and salaries, payment of electricity and
water bills, payment to creditors, meeting current liabilities, maintainance of enough stock,
purchase of raw materials, etc.
Financial controls: The finance manager has not only to plan, procure and utilize the funds but he
also has to exercise control over finances. This can be done through many techniques like ratio
analysis, financial forecasting, cost and profit control, etc.
INVENTORY
Inventory management is a component of supply chain management that involves supervising non-
capitalized assets, or inventory, and stock items. Specifically, “inventory management supervises
the flow of goods from manufacturers to warehouses and from these facilities to point of sale.”
Thus, inventory management hinges on detailed records of products or parts as they enter and leave
warehouses and points of sale.
Inventory management is critical to the bottom line because inventory is a major asset that remains
an investment until the products sell. Several costs are tied to inventory management because
businesses must store, track, and insure inventory. Overall, best practices in inventory management
involve sound purchasing plans to guarantee items are available when they are needed without
having too few or too many on hand and the necessary tools for tracking existing inventory.
Methods of Inventory Management
There are two common inventory management strategies: the just in time method and the materials
requirement planning method.
The just in time method (JIT) of inventory management involves companies planning to receive
items as they are needed instead of maintaining high levels of inventory. One benefit of this
inventory management method is that companies do not have a great deal of money tied up in
inventory levels; they reduce storage and insurance costs and the cost of liquidating unused
inventory. Another benefit of the just in time method is that companies reduce waste.
Challenges of the just in time method of inventory management come into play when
manufacturers and retailers have to work together to monitor the availability of manufacturing
resources and consumer demand. Just in time inventory management also is considered risky
because companies take a gamble with being unable to fill orders; being out of stock reduces
revenue and may harm customer relations.
The materials requirement planning method (MRP) of inventory management involves companies
scheduling material deliveries based on sales forecasts. Typically a computer-based inventory
management system, MRP breaks down inventory requirements into planning periods so that
production can be completed efficiently while keeping inventory levels and storage costs at a
minimum. Another benefit of MRP inventory management is that it aids production managers in
planning for capacity needs and allocating production time. One of the most significant
disadvantages of the MRP inventory management method is that the systems often are expensive
and involve a time-consuming implementation period. It also may be challenging for companies to
put quality information into the MRP system to gain accurate forecasts; to reap the full benefits of
MRP inventory management, organizations must be prepared to maintain current and accurate bills
of materials, part numbers, and inventory records.
Companies that continue to rely on manual inventory tracking with spreadsheets run the risk of
data entry errors, shipping mistakes, and lack of inventory knowledge. Thus,
implementing inventory management best practices is important for business success and the
bottom line:
Determine whether a continuous review system or periodic review system is the best type
of inventory management system for your business
Manage your inventory by knowing the inventory levels that are most beneficial to the flow
of your business; track data to make better inventory management decisions
Implement quality control procedures so that all employees can work toward the same
goals
Prepare for growth and implement inventory management best practices that will support
your business goals
Inventory management is critical to a company’s success and bottom line. Determining which
inventory management method is better suited to your business and following through with
inventory management best practices is key to successful inventory management for the long term.
Inventory management is the supervision of non-capitalized assets (inventory) and stock items.
A component of supply chain management, inventory management supervises the flow of goods
from manufacturers to warehouses and from these facilities to point of sale. A key function of
inventory management is to keep a detailed record of each new or returned product as it enters or
leaves a warehouse or point of sale.
Inventory management is a complex process, particularly for larger organizations, but the basics
are essentially the same regardless of the organization's size or type. In inventory management,
goods are delivered into the receiving area of a warehouse in the form of raw materials or
components and are put into stock areas or shelves.
Compared to larger organizations with more physical space, in smaller companies, the goods may
go directly to the stock area instead of a receiving location, and if the business is a wholesale
distributor, the goods may be finished products rather than raw materials or components. The
goods are then pulled from the stock areas and moved to production facilities where they are made
into finished goods. The finished goods may be returned to stock areas where they are held prior to
shipment, or they may be shipped directly to customers.
Inventory management uses a variety of data to keep track of the goods as they move through the
process, including lot numbers, serial numbers, cost of goods, quantity of goods and the dates
when they move through the process.Inventory management software systems
Inventory management software systems generally began as simple spreadsheets that tracked the
quantities of goods in a warehouse, but have become more complex. Inventory management
software can now go several layers deep and integrate with accounting and ERP systems. The
systems keep track of goods in inventory, sometimes across several warehouse locations. The
software also calculates the costs -- often in multiple currencies -- so that accounting systems
always have an accurate assessment of the value of the goods.
Inventory management
Some inventory management software systems are designed for large enterprises, and they may be
heavily customized for the particular requirements of those organizations. Large systems were
traditionally run on premises, but are now also deployed in public cloud, private cloud and hybrid
cloud environments. Small and midsize companies typically don't need such complex and costly
systems, and they often rely on stand-alone inventory management products, generally
through SaaS applications.
Inventory management uses several methodologies to keep the right amount of goods on hand to
fulfill customer demand and operate profitably. This task is particularly complex when
organizations need to deal with thousands of stockkeeping units (SKUs) that can span multiple
warehouses. The methodologies include:
What software systems does your company use for inventory management?
Stock review, which is the simplest inventory management methodology and is generally
more appealing to smaller businesses. Stock review involves a regular analysis of stock on
hand versus projected future needs. It primarily uses manual effort, although there can be
automated stock review to define a minimum stock level that then enables regular inventory
inspections and reordering of supplies to meet the minimum levels. Stock review can
provide a measure of control over the inventory management process, but it can be labor-
intensive and prone to errors.
ABC analysis methodology, which classifies inventory into three categories that represent
the inventory values and cost significance of the goods. Category A represents high-value
and low-quantity goods, category B represents moderate-value and moderate-quantity
goods, and category C represents low-value and high-quantity goods. Each category can be
managed separately by an inventory management system, and it's important to know which
items are the best sellers in order to keep quantities of buffer stock on hand. For example,
more expensive category A items may take longer to sell, but they may not need to be kept
in large quantities. One of the advantages of ABC analysis is that it provides better control
over high-value goods, but a disadvantage is that it can require a considerable amount of
resources to continually analyze the inventory levels of all the categories.
Inventory control is the area of inventory management that is concerned with minimizing the total
cost of inventory, while maximizing the ability to provide customers with products in a timely
manner. In some countries, the two terms are used as synonyms.

Its beginnings were humble. A leased office on Radha Bazar Lane, Kolkata, was the
centre of the Company's existence. The Company celebrated its 16th birthday on
August 24, 1926, by purchasing the plot of land situated at 37, Chowringhee, (now
renamed J.L. Nehru Road) Kolkata, for the sum of Rs 310,000. This decision of the
Company was historic in more ways than one. It was to mark the beginning of a long
and eventful journey into India's future. The Company's headquarter building, 'Virginia

FINANCE STRUCTURE RATIOS
Finance structure ratio indicates the relative mix or blending of owner’s fund and outsider’s
debt funds in the total capital employed in the business. It should be noted that equity funds are the
prime fund, which increases progressively through reinvestment of profits, while outside debt
funds are supplementary funds and are added at the discretion of the management. Management
prefers to choose debt only when it helps in enhancing the earning of equity. The debt funds are
used to generate ROI greater than interest costs on debts, the equity earning is enhanced, but if the
interest costs are higher than ROI, it adversely affects the earning of owner. This ratio is popularly
described as debt equity ratio. Higher debt ratio is (I) good if ROI is greater than interest on debts
and it is (II) bad if ROI is less than interest on debts. Thus, use of debts is considered as a “Double-
Edge” weapon. Some popular finance structure ratios are as under:
Equity Ratios
Where,
Particulars Year
Interpretation:
This ratio suggests the proportion of the Net Worth to total capital employed. Net Worth is
share plus reserves and surplus. The higher the ratio the higher the net worth in total capital
employed and vice versa.
The ratio decreases year by year because of the capital the total capital employed increased.
Particulars Year
Analysis:
This ratio suggests the proportion of long-term debt to Total Capital Employed. Long-
term debt is a debt, which is of more than five years and includes interest thereon. The
higher the long-term the higher the total capital employed and vice-versa.
The ratio has increased and then decreased. This is good for the company.
Debt Equity Ratio:
When debt funds are used to generate ROI greater than interest cost on debt, the equity
earning is enhanced, but if the interest cost is higher than the ROI, adversely affect the earning
owners. This ratio is popularly described as Debt-Equity Ratio. Higher debt – equity ratio is (1)
good if ROI is greater than interest on debt. Thus, use of debt (or leverage) is considered as a
“Double Aged” weapon.
Particulars Year
Interpretation:
Debt Equity Ratio is debt to Equity. Debt means long term fund having maturity of five
years or more including interest thereon.
Equity is paid up share capital plus free reserves. The higher the debt fund used in capital
structure, the greater is the financial risk. This is also known as leverage ratio.
It should be 2:1 but industry ratio is 0.8:1. Still it is higher than company’s ratio. So,
company should raise the debt.
Interest Coverage Ratios:
This Ratio indicates the use of interest becoming debt funds in generating higher operating profits
or EBIT. Higher is the Ratio better is the utilization of the debt funds. Higher interest coverage
ratio enhances the equity earning (i.e. EBIT – interest) is passed over to the equity finance of the
capitalization. It can be concluded as follow:
Particulars Year
Interpretation:
It is clearly indicates by the above calculation that interest expenses decreases and also
PBIT increase and so it implies that the debt of the company decreases.
Thus in general we can conclude that the growth of the company is very good
Valuation Ratios:
Valuation ratios are the result of the management of the above four categories of the functional
ratios. Valuation ratios are generally presented on a per share basis and thus are more useful to the
equity investor. The per share valuation are popularly presented as:
If the company has issued preference share capital then net profit for equity share = Net Profit -
Preference Dividend. In absence of the preference share capital net profit is taken in the numerator
of the below formula.
Particulars Year
Interpretation:
It decreased in the year 200-11 to 6.45 this is because of the no.of equity share
increased.
This provides company’s future prices. It is increases gradually and peaks in year
2013-14 at value 11.05 this is good for the company.
Dividend Pay Out Ratio:
This Ratio indicates the split of EPS between cash dividend and re-investment of profit. If the
company has profitable projects, then it will prefer to keep D/P Ratio lower, it will re- invest
higher proportion of the profit in the business.
Particulars Year
Interpretation:
This ratio indicates the splits of EPS between cash dividend and reinvest at profit.
If the company has profitable project then it will keep D/P ratio lower it will reinvest higher
proportion of project in business.
Here the company’s ratio is first increased but decreased in 2011-12 to 2013-14
continuously. That means company is reinvesting their money.
So it is good for the long term investor but not good for the short term investor. Company
may provide higher profits after long-term. It is good to invest for long term.
Dividend Yield Ratio:
The dividend yield represents the current cash return to shareholders. It is computed by
dividing the Dividend per Share by the current market price per share. The investors also earn a
return from a capital gain in shares.
Particulars Year
Interpretation:
The lowest ratio is 2% in the year 2009-10 and it is high in the year in the 2009-08 and the
value is 2.67%.
Higher ratio is good for the short term investor and lower ratio is good for the long term
investor. It is good in 2010-09 for long term investor.
P/E Ratios:
Particulars Year
Interpretation:
2. The composition of current assets is dominated by inventory and receivable in 2001-02 the

CONCLUSIONS
Trend analysis in a business enterprise is synonymous with the blood of the human
body. The importance of Trend analysis from liquidity and profitability point of view
can not be over emphasized. Both these significant aspects largely depends upon
efficient management of Trend analysis, (i.e.) management of inventory, receivable,
cash & bank balances and short term creditors & other short-term liabilities, liquidity
which refers to the ability of a firm to meet its current obligations encompasses
current assets and their structure. In recent times high importance is being given
corporate liquidity as it has direct impact on profitability as well as long term
survival of the firms. Maintaining sound liquidity and profitability position
ultimately depends upon efficient and smooth management of working .

financial analysis of ITC Ltd. , data and methodology of the study has been
discussed. In the second part the objectives of the study has clearly defined. In third

LIMITATIONS
It is not possible to remove the limitation of any investigators. So this project also has certain
limitation that is:
1) Information was gathered through the rating of the subject, thus biasness is possible.
2) As the sample size was small it is possible that it may not represent the precise picture.
4) The management did not agree to disclose all the confidential data.
From the Liquidity Ratio we can recommend that the Liquidity of the company is Very
Good.
The Current ratio increases every year. The Current Assets should be at least twice the
Current Liabilities for a comfortable liquid position. But here it more than 2 to 3 times,
which very good.
By the profitability ratio we can conclude that the profit of the company decreased and then
increased but it is slightly increment.
But the Operating profit of the company is decreasing, so company should try to reduce its
Operating Cost by controlling the expenses of Raw material consumption as well as the
selling, Distribution, and Administration and other expenses.
Here we can see that interest to be paid has been cut very well, which is good for the
company in the future.
Here from the analysis we can say that the company is not going to spread its business
because not considerable increase in the investment has been found
