History of cluster
Sialkot is famous for the production of leather products. Leather cluster Sialkot
developed in its current shape as export started here in mid 80’s. In 1978 to 1980 First
Leather Production was established in Sialkot, juki machines were imported in 80’s. 6
juki machines were imported at that time. Master Bashir was pioneer in manufacturing;
he was the first, who started his own Manufacturing. His shop was in Purannagar Street
no 1. He used to produce both local and international standard products.
London was the hub for exports at that time, where Brick lane was the market. Exporters
got orders from there till 1995. Five English persons, Two Indians and four British origin
Pakistanis place orders to Pakistan and other countries like Scandinavia, Germany were
the main market at that time for exporters. The peak period of leather Industry exports
was from 1985 to 2000.
Sialkot leather cluster was the only to manufacture motorbike suits. No other city could
produce motorbike suits at that time and till Date 90% motorbike suits are manufactured
in Sialkot cluster. Then Pakistan started export of finish leather to other countries that
caused prices growth of leather.
Pakistan also exported leather to China till year 2000. Then they stopped importing
leather because it cost them very expensive and became out of reach, that’s why they
stopped importing from Pakistan. But prices never came down and they are still very high
although there is no shortage of leather at current.
Once at that period when Pakistan exported finished leather to other countries 10000
Vendors became jobless and they protested against government. At that time they made
8
their own R&D to make new designs and patterns and remained successful in shape of
obtaining good orders of export.
Most of the firms were established in late 80’s and 90’s and so on. Mostly these firms are
situated on Daska Road, Pasrur road, Factory area, Bonkan Pura, Wazirabad Road, and
Head Marala Road. Majority of labour come from Fatehgarh Agency, surrounding areas
of Doburji, Nollmor, Gondal, Godhpur, Marakiwaal, and Siadpur etc.

data to perform the financial analysis of the Organization. Therefore finance department
fully supported me.
Introduction of Departments
Nat East Enterprises is a manufacturer firm they produce the goods which are required all
processing units to convert it into finished goods for customer. In the Department section
30
here we described the main department function and working under their managers and
supervisors how they coordinate and manage their work.
My mostly work spend on the production department because they are mainly linked with
the finance department. Because how could you asses the cost if you don’t know form
beginning. Accounts relating to this involved the cost activity Like Absorption, marginal
costing, activity based costing, EOQ are the mainly portion to manage it. But here our
prospect is to financial department to made reliable information for the external user. All
other department where I spend the time is also described under this section.
They keep checking all record through their computerized system. Like the visitor first
come to the gate verify their identification and then moved to the forward step in the
organization.
In this department there are three major Sections in this deartment.Number of employee

Business department mainly made their document be collecting all information to the
other department and outsider resource.

Production department
Production is the functional area responsible for turning inputs into finished outputs
through a series of production processes. The Production Manager is responsible for
making sure that raw materials are provided and made into finished goods effectively.
Mr. Ajmal are the manager and Handle all Production Department to make sure that
work is carried out smoothly, and must supervise procedures for making work more
efficient and more enjoyable.
Production department in the NatEast enterprises also done their production from
outsource facility due to un availability of some machinery.
Mr. Ajmal supervises four employees which are performing their duty under their
instruction. About 70 workers are to be engaging in this department which performs
cutting, stiching, embroidery etc.
34
In a Nat East Enterprises the production function split into five sub-functions:
1. The production and planning department will set standards and targets for each
section of the production process. The quantity and quality of products coming off a
production line will be closely monitored. In businesses focusing on lean production,
quality will be monitored by all employees at every stage of production, rather than at the
end as is the case for businesses using a quality control approach.
3. The stores department will be responsible for stocking all the necessary tools, spares,
raw materials and equipment required to service the manufacturing process. Where
sourcing is unreliable, buffer stocks will need to be kept and the use of computerized
stock control systems helps keep stocks at a minimal but necessary level for production to
continue unhindered.
4. The design and technical support department will be responsible for researching new
products or modifications to existing ones, estimating costs for producing in different
quantities and by using different methods. It will also be responsible for the design and
testing of new product processes and product types, together with the development of
prototypes through to the final product. The technical support department may also be
responsible for work study and suggestions as to how working practices can be improved.
5. The works department will be concerned with the manufacture of products. This will
include the maintenance of the production line and other necessary repairs. The works
department may also have responsibility for quality control and inspection.
35
A key aspect of modern production is ensuring quality. There fore Mr. Ajmal ensure that
all Function performed consistently to achieve the desire out put. The emphasis on the
Quality therefore the term quality means fitness for purpose i.e. a product, process or
service should do exactly what is expected of it.
Leather Jacket plants in Nat East build quality into every stage of the production process.
Every employee is expected to take responsibility for managing quality issues in order to
make sure that waste is minimized and quality maximized. This is often referred to as
total quality management and is part of the lean production methods used in modern
industry.
For that purpose the internal and External Quality Control system must established to
achieved the desire Consumer demand Output.
Nat East enterprises adopted the internal Quality system to ensure production department
effectiveness. Internal quality system is a group of interrelated parts that make up a
whole. A quality system therefore consists of parts (such as policies and processes)
designed to ensure quality.
A variety of organizations work with BSI to create standards for QMS. The standard
specifies requirements for a QMS where an organization:
36
needs to show that it can consistently provide products that:
ISO 9001 sets out eight quality management principles. These include:
customer focus
leadership - a commitment to quality by the leaders of the organization
Involvement of people - everyone in the organization having a part to play
Making sure that those processes which create quality are identified
Continual improvement of the system.
37
Internal systems are ones that are built inside an organization. However, in addition,
modern businesses need to build external systems. External systems are those that
involve people outside the organization - e.g. suppliers.
Nat East enterprises have long supply chains in which they source materials, parts and
finished goods from across the Different area in Pakistan and also form the Korea and
china...
Take, for example, a Leather Jacket. Some of the components may come from Qasoor,
others from Korea, Like Inner Cotton, Knitted cotton, Woven. These separate
components will then be assembled into a sub-assembly i.e. part of the finished Jacket.
This sub-assembly may take place in other unit, whilst a number of parts may then be
transported and delivered to a final assembly plant. Some Production parts are
outsourced.
This has led to a change in attitude. Instead of an Organization having a 'them' and 'us'
attitude where 'them' are the suppliers, it now makes sense to see the process as a shared
one in which everyone relies on each other. This is known as interdependence.
Operating activities (or operations) are the ongoing activities that a business is involved
in - e.g. processing a customers order in an Main unit, producing a Leather belt or Track
suit in a Pasrur as out sourced because in Sialkot the many outsourced production units
are available at cheap cost and faster production process. It is important that these
operations are controlled effectively to make sure that managers achieve desired
38
objectives.
If it is noticed that there is a defect to a single Piece it is essential to put into effect
control procedures so that the line can be put right immediately.
Production variety is inevitable and this can lead to organizational problems. For
example, an increase in the number of component types will require more space in the
stores. Control of variety is essential in reducing storage space, the number of production
runs, types of machines, production aids and in making production control easier. As
firms move towards specialization, opportunities increase for mass production. Mass
production is the production of goods on a large scale.
Typically the greater the volume of mass production, the greater the benefits of
economies of scale as the firm moves towards its lowest unit cost size. It is often assumed
that mass production will affect quality.
However, this is rarely the case. With mass production, quality will be more uniform and
will not depend upon the scale of production but upon the skill of managers.
Automation and robotics have enabled managers to gain far more control over operating
systems. Computer Aided Design (CAD) enables high levels of efficiency in the design
of products. Computer Aided Manufacturing enables high levels of control and
standardization in manufacturing processes.
39
Methods of production
Two major processes should come together in the preparation of a product or service for
market:
1. Market research to find out what people want to buy, and how they want it
Job production
Involves the production of single, individual items. Nat East used it when Customer
demand are unique are the Goods are out of routine work like HIGHLY Embroidery Item
Fashion Jackets Trouser etc.
Firms might specialize in producing one-off jobs such as customized motor bikes.
The production process is concerned with transforming a range of inputs into those
outputs that are required by the market.
This involves two main sets of resources - the transforming resources, and the
transformed resources.
The transforming resources include the buildings, machinery, computers, and people that
carry out the transforming processes. The transformed resources are the raw materials and
components that are transformed into end products.
40
Any production process involves a series of links in a production chain. At each stage
value is added in the course of production. Adding value involves making a product more
desirable to a consumer so that they will pay more for it. Adding value therefore is not
just about manufacturing, but relates to all processes e.g. advertising, promotion,
distribution, etc that make the final product more desirable.
It is very important for businesses to identify the processes that add value, so that they
can enhance these processes to the ongoing benefit of the business.
There are three main types of process: job, batch and flow production.
Job production
Job or 'make complete' production is the creation of single items by either one operative
or a team of operative's e.g. the Humber Bridge or a frigate for the navy.
Batch production
The term batch refers to a specific group of components, which go through a production
process together. As one batch finishes, the next one starts.
For example on Monday, Machine A produces a type 1 Track suit part, on Tuesday it
produces a type 2 Track suit, on Wednesday a type 3 and so on. All Track suit will then
go forward to the final assembly of different categories of suits.
41
Batches are continually processed through each machine before moving on to the next
operation. This method is sometimes referred to as 'intermittent' production as different
job types are held as work-in-progress between the various stages of production.
Flow production
Units are worked upon in each operation and then passed straight on to the next work
stage without waiting for the batch to be completed. To make sure that the production line
can work smoothly each operation must be of standard lengths and there should be no
movements or leakages from the line, i.e. hold-ups to work-in-progress.
For flow production to be successful there needs to be a continuity of demand. If demand
varied, this could lead to a constant overstocking of finished goods.
Like the Gloves, Working Gloves unit mostly adopt this type of process in the Nat east
enterprises.
Stock control
Stock control is play a massive role in the Nat east enterprises because they hold the
stock to accomplish the orders at that limit where the quantity can be utilized at effective
cost no extra cost will be bear on extra unit take.
42
Businesses hold stocks in a variety of forms:
• raw materials
• work-in-progress
• finished goods
• consumables
The aim of stock control is to make sure that a business always has sufficient stocks to
meet its own needs and those of consumers. However, it needs to keep the minimum
amount of stock that it can so as to avoid damage and waste, and to minimize the cost of
holding stock.
Having too high or too low a stock is harmful. High stocks represent money lying idle
when it could be put to better use, whereas low stocks could result in not being able to
take on and meet orders. The table illustrates the disadvantages of having the 'wrong'
stock levels:
43
Analysis of Business Operation
Business operation carries the all production material which is required to complete the
production unit. Therefore their source, quantity utilization is essential for the production
department. In the Nat east enterprises following material are to be used and the source of
material can be described in this phase.
Raw Material
Raw Leather in Pakistan comes from slaughterhouses from different regions. Leather of
every region has its own characteristics and qualities. Raw leather is brought to Karachi,
Kasur, Lahore, Multan, and Sialkot, for further processing so it can be used for export
purposes.
Threads
Different sorts of threads are used in manufacturing of leather items, among which cotton
and nylon threads are very common and those are easily available in local market.
44
Button
Buttons are also easily available in local market both best and low quality
Zips
All kinds of zips used in manufacturing are imported from China, Korea, Japan, and
Taiwan.

Nat East Enterprises also try to focus their business upon this segment because the
buyers are more in this segment and quality required is in middle class range.
• Low or very low price segment covers 10% share of the market. In this
segment no brands survive with lower quality of products. The products are
of standard formats and no extra worries involve in this segmentation. But
quantities required are very cheap which helps only in improving turnover
instead of increasing profit margin.
62
• The Organization has more potential for improvement and business gain. But
due to more competitors within the countrywide market and from India,
Taiwan, china etc., the Organization is facing a swear competition and
because of this the export management is keenly in touch with their strategies.
• The management is always committed to attract the old and existing
customers. For this purpose it is offering 5% to 7% extra goods on each and
every order. It is also offering promotional items to retain the customer.
• The management is also committed and working to attract new customers
with competitive price offer strategy and new + innovative designs of
products. It is always committed to satisfy the customers through quality
improvement and for this purpose Organization adopts ISO Certification in
2001-2002.
• The management ;s also working as a trader through which it can easy and
better facilitate their customers and also increase the annual turnover of the
Organization.
the market or some similar to the brands. The Organization also engaged venders to
comply with these different product orders, which is the cause of no more
63
Pricing Strategy:
As the Organization is export oriented and due to this it always considered about
competition within the market where it is going to export or offer prices.
In pricing strategy the Organization's first focus is upon:-
• To achieve a target return
• To maximize profit
• To increase sales volume
• To maintain and increase market share...
It also consider about market situation and country's economic situation. All the other
factors for pricing like different costs and profit margins will come later in its pricing
strategy.
Near about 50% business of the Organization is on advance basis, which covers the
commercial risk and lot of problems to manage resources for orders and all of
This is due to good reputation of the Organization, which created creditability
among
All the buyers. 30% of the business in EU is on L.C. at sight or C.A.D. basis, which
is also very secure for the Organization and management to handle orders. Only
20% business of the total export is on 30 to 60 days credit basis.
As I observed by myself the executives always reduce and increase their different
markets or for different customers. Some times in few competitive products it also
offer profit margin from 7% to 40% after calculation of fixed & variable costs for
Prices lower than its cost for just to retain the customers.
That's why customers considered Nat East Enterprises as a trust worthy firm.
Distribution Strategy:
The opportunities for Nat east enterprises to chose its distribution channel depends
on external factors (demand and requirements of importers/buyers) and internal
factors. In Europe the main distribution channels are as under:
64
,

Source: CBI market information database URL: www.cbi.nl/disciaimer.
Wholesalers:
By buying on his own account, the importer/wholesaler takes title to the goods and
is responsible for its further sale and distribution in-his country. He is familiar with
local markets and can supply considerable information and guidance to the exporter
regard to appropriate designs for the market, new trends, use of materials and
quality requirements.
Retail organizations:
Buyers at clothing multiples, Horne shopping companies and variety stores, which
have mainly or exclusively private labels in their assortment, divide their budgets
between the purchase of finished products via direct imports (sourcing ready-
made products) from low-wage countries and sourcing from own design. Home
shopping companies are keener than other retail distributors about reorder facility.
They want to start with small orders to test the market and make a firm, but not
final, bulk commitment a few months later. If an item sells like a hot cake, they
commission from the former. Capital requirements are limited because this
65
cooperation is based upon commission. However, agents mainly work with brand
names and are therefore less interested for most exporters in developing countries.
Wholesalers and Retailer organization in their distribution strategy with the help
Promotional Strategy
As personal contacts always work best in any sector, the Organization is investing
time and money to visit different buyers and firms. Representative spends additional
weeks after a trade fair to follow up on contacts and to make appointments with the
most promising trade partners.
Organization stationary:
In order to build the right image for Organization, the management uses printed
stationary in shape of order book, Letter pad, Fax message, Invoice and Packing
List.
66
New Year & X-MAS Card:
Organization also sends New Year and Christmas card to customers for building
profitable business and personal relations.
Promotion:
This applies to the use of e-mail and website. Organization has 2 different websites:
- www.Nateast.com.pk
Export department has engaged in sending e-mails to Potential Importers about
Organization and its products.
Sampling:
Sampling is a very important tool to increase sales of Sports Goods & Sports Wear.
Before placing the order, every customer wants to see original product and with
required logo so that samples are playing good role in sales promotion.
Organization send samples to customer free of cost through DHL, TCS or TNT
couriers.
Human resources are the people that work for an organization, and Human Resource
Management is concerned with how these people are managed. Nat east enterprises
Human Resource Management (HRM) has come to mean more than this because people
are different from different Location and the other resources that work for an
organization. People have thoughts and feelings, aspirations and needs.HRM has thus
come to refer to an approach, which takes into account both:
67
Primary Responsibilities
In the Nat east enterprises Different individuals have their own needs and aspirations.
HRM therefore involves finding out about the needs and aspirations of individual
employees, through the appraisal process and then creating the opportunities within
68
the organization (e.g. through job enlargement) and outside the organization (e.g.
through taking up Training opportunities) for employees to improve themselves.
HRM therefore relates to every aspect of the way in which the organization interacts
with its people, e.g. by providing training and development opportunities, appraisal to
find out about individual needs, training and development needs analysis, etc.
HRM Department comprises of the HR Manger, Two Assistant Manger and a payroll
assistant. Mainly there are 5 people which deal with the HR department. Each person
performing their duty according to their responsibility.
HR Department run different programmed to trained the employee and for the new
worker which is helpful to retain the worker.
During the duration of my training following main functions are to be analyzed deeply
How they performed and managed and the HR Management.
An analysis of the opportunities and experiences that is required for individuals to train
and develop in order to meet organizational and personal objectives. A training and
development plan can run under the Hr manger which is assist by the assistant. Then
created set out how these needs can be addressed in practical steps.
In the Cutting Department new worker can’t manage their functions for that purpose the
four day programmed introduced by the Nat east enterprises to train the new worker. The
training and development programmed designed for technicians at the Organization.
Technicians are appraised by their line managers to identify their personal training and
development needs. They then work with a professional consultant on development
69
training activities as well as attending relevant courses either at the training centre or on
external courses.
Employer/Employee relations
Discussions between employers and employees typically cover the following areas:
• pay
• bonuses
• disputes
• work schedules
• grievances
• hours of work
• Production targets.
70
Successful employer/employee relations involve striking a balance of interests. From the
employer's point of view, industrial relations is about having the right to manage - the
ability to plan for the future so that a Nat east enterprises can continue success, to make
profits for its Partners and to keep its employees motivated. From the employee's point of
view, it is all about securing the best possible conditions and living standards for
employees.
High labour turnover
Where employees are not happy with working conditions this frequently leads to high
labour turnover, bad timekeeping, and high levels of absenteeism. It may also occur in the
form of slackness by individuals, poor working, and deliberate time wasting and similar
practices. Other evidence of discontent will be revealed in complaints, friction, ignoring
rules and apathy.
• withdrawal of goodwill
• a go slow
• working strictly to the rules set out in work rulebooks and sticking rigidly to only
doing tasks set out clearly in a job description
• Going on strike.
71
• they reduce Organization profitability, and its' ability to fulfill orders
Nat east enterprises accommodate other Healthy facility to manage theses discrepancies
which enhance the employee working condition. Thus it is very important to create
harmonious workplaces for the benefit of all concerned. The work of HR Department in
the enterprises is primarily concerned with outlining good practice and models of
harmonious working practice.

Daily Journal Vouchers
I learned here how to fill the Daily voucher as in first we have to recognize the type of
transaction. Lets say 1 of our debtor asked to take money from 1 of our creditor and our
creditor is willing on this then we are going to pass a journal entry in which we will debit
our creditor and credit our debtor so the entry will be
Creditor-------------xxxxxxxx
Debtor---------------xxxxxxx
For entering this transaction we first write the date at the top right corner of the voucher.
Then we write the names of creditor debtor in particular column we have to write the
name of debtor which is being credited with a bit space as mentioned above. After that
we write the amount of money in specific columns then at the end of these columns we
write the total amount of money being transacted in this transaction. If there are more
then 2 accounts involved then the total amount will be different from at least 1 individual
account. At the end we write the money in words and signature there.
74
Cash Payment Vouchers
Cash payment voucher is prepared for keeping record of Cash’s payment which includes
payment to creditors and payment for daily cash expenses. In this kind of vouchers only
Cash account is credited and other accounts like daily expenses accounts and creditors’
accounts are debited. Daily expense accounts consists a lot of expense which are used in
Organization, it depends on type of Organization and resources used in Organization.
Such as if we are giving cash for stationary or cash for Mobil oil for Vehicle used for
transport of employees.
For writing this kind of voucher first and important thing is to recognize the type of
expense such as to which account a particular expense belongs say. For example if there
is a bill of fuel then we have to recognize where is it used, there is 2 usages of fuel one
for vehicle for transport of employees and other is used for generator, so we have to
check where it is used and then particular account should be debited.
Creditor’s name------xxxxx
Cash--------xxxxxx
Here cash will be sum of both the Admin & Selling expense and creditor. After filling the
voucher the entire supporting are attached along with voucher.
Cash Receipt voucher keeps record of all the payments received by any source of income.
It might be against advance given to employees or cash received from debtors. In this
kind of vouchers cash is debited and debtor or other accounts against which cash is being
received is credited. For example if we received cash from our debtor then the entry will
be
75
Cash ----------- xxxxx
Debtor--------xxxxx
After filling the date we write the cash a/c and debtor in particular and their amount in
specific columns, then total amount at the end and amount in words. A cash receipt slip is
also filled by accountant whose one copy is given to debtors and other copy is attached
with the voucher.
Banking related issue is also handled by Accounts office. Nat East Enterprises is doing
business with 2 bank located in Sialkot. Standard Chartered Bank and Muslim
Commercial Bank. When payment is received by any debtor or Organization it submits
some money in bank account then Bank Receipt Voucher is filled to keep the information
about the bank account and transaction. In this case Bank account is debited and other
account will be credited which might be debtor or cash.
Bank Name/Account--------xxxx
Cash------------------------------xxxx
Debtor----------------------------xxxx
Banking related issue is also handled by Accounts office. When payment is made by bank
to some particular account such as creditors or when Organization withdraws payment for
office used then Bank Payment Voucher is filled. In Bank Payment Voucher Bank is
always credited against some particular account which might be a creditor or drawing for
office or owners’ personal drawing. In this case the transaction being posted in Voucher
will be
76
Drawing ---------xxxx
Creditor----------xxxx
Bank Name/Account--------xxxx
After filling the vouchers these are checked by accountant and the manager then these are
these are given to subordinate for posting one person post them on hard copy and other
one on computer. Cash payment voucher are first posted on Cash book which is daily
maintained and shows cash flow of NatEast Enterprises, then these are posted on ledger.
In first we write the date on cash book and then we write Cash in hand on the left side of
cash book then we write amount in particular column ahead of description column.
Then we write the cash Receipt voucher’s Voucher no. at the left hand of page then
description such as against which account cash has been received then after write the
amount in amount column we write the total amount of cash in last column. After that we
write the total amount at the bottom on the page.
Then we go to right hand page where we post all the cash payments made. We have to
keep track of voucher number so we write the first voucher first after sorting the entire
cash payment voucher. We write the voucher number in first then description of voucher
in which we write the all the account names against which cash has been paid then we
write the amount in the right column. After that total cash payment is written at the right
most columns.
At the end we write the cash in hand which is subtraction of total cash amount at the left
side and all the expenses made to date. For convenience we write the Total amount at the
bottom of right page then we subtract the expenses and write it on the row before the total
amount.
Then Cash payment and Cash Receipt voucher are posted in general ledger. I first find the
account’s page from index of accounts then open that page and write the voucher number
and description, in description if there is any supporting with voucher then particular
77
reason or some other detail from supporting is written on description cell then amount is
written in right side.
Bank book is also prepared in the same way we write the bank payment and bank receipt
voucher number then we write the cheque number and the name of person to whom or by
whom the amount is being given or received. Then we write the particular amount in
Debit or Credit side. If we are receiving money then we write it in Debit column and if
we are Giving or drawing money then we write in credit column. At the end of we write
the total amount which is always Debit amount and can’t be credit.
When I finished my posting in general ledger, cash and bank book I was sent on
computer to post the vouchers on computer. It was much easier then posting in hard copy.
There were different links for pages where we can post all the entries. For example for
posting cash voucher there was different link which opens a new window and we write
the voucher number and description and amount. Not like the paper cash book there was
only one column for amount which was for cash payment or cash Receipt, it depends on
the page opened. And all the same things happen with other vouchers, bank payment and
bank receipt had different links.
I was told about the software that it safes all the data in MDB format which is used for
Microsoft access database and it can be easily converted to excel format.
It was a bit difficult for me to use Microsoft access database and retrieve data from there
and convert them into excel format.
After posting the vouchers it was checked by accountant either it is correctly posted or
not.
Sales and Purchase Vouchers keep information about the transactions of Sale of products
and Purchase of goods or raw material, which might be against cash or credit. Sales and
Purchase departments fills and post these vouchers on computer which directly saves in
Organization’s main computer where database is located. Then these vouchers are sent to
accounts office to post them on hard paper, general ledger. Posting the voucher of sales
78
and purchase is same as above mentioned vouchers. Their voucher no. and description
then amount and total amount is posted in general ledger. We have to note their credit and
debit balance either an account is being debited or credited.
Taking Vouchers from Sales and Purchase office and posting them on hard copy Registers
of Accounts. Generating Report of Cash flow, Income statement and Balance sheet.
Sales Office
Sales office takes the Order from Customers and inquires about the availability of the
product. Store In charge gives them the quantity available of a particular product. Then
Sales department send the invoice to customer by fax or mail. Before the departure of
explosives Van Gate keeper issue a Road Permit and Outward Gate pass to van driver. On
copy of Road Permit and outward gate pass is given to driver and 2nd copy is sent to sales
office and one is kept by gate keeper.
Then sales office prepares the sales voucher. After filling the voucher that is posted in
computer which is stored in main computer.
Sales Voucher
Sales Office take the Road Permit and Gate outward pass from Gate In charge. If both
tally with the information of the order issued to store department then sales voucher is
prepared. We write the date then description of the transaction and amount in Debit or
Credit column the total amount and amount in words.
Purchase Office
Purchase officer keeps track of purchase of inventory for the Organization. It takes
information about the requirement of the production by store in charge then inquires
about the rates of inventory form our sellers and purchase goods by issuing purchase
order. When goods are reached at factory then first their Gate inward are issued by Gate
keepers. When these goods are reached to store then store in charge issue a Goods
79
Receipt Note. One copy of all the things GRN, Inward and Purchase Order and with any
supporting or bills provided by seller is sent to Purchase officer then they fill the voucher
and post them into computer.
Purchase Voucher
Filling the purchase voucher is not much different then filling and posting sales voucher.
In first we check all the supporting and tally all the invoices then we fill the voucher and
debit the goods and credit our seller.
NatEast Enterprises is following the Double Entry system for accounting. Double entry
system help full for accounts department because they have dual affect and the error can
be tracked easily. Convenience and easiness for the Accounts department is keeping
record of their accounts both manually on Hard copies like Voucher, ledger, and control
accounts in the register and on soft copy on computer. Accounts department also include
the record of following department like Debtors, creditors, Sales and purchase fill the
voucher and keep them in files after checking by authorized person then they submit the
transactions on computer which is saved into their main server. For 1 or 2 days Sales and
purchase department sends their voucher to Accounting department to keep their hard
copy registers up to date so that manual accounting system should be maintained.
Nat east Enterprises using the periodic inventory system. They are annually mange their
inventory account. The depreciation method is on the straight line bases. The Mostly
Asset relates to short term basis and their market value can be easily availing. Like
stitching machinery, leather cutting equipment.
Nat east has a Limited network of computers which are not linked to outer world
(Internet). Network of computers are spread in the office department which are not linked
80
to the other factory department. All the IT related issues are also handled by IT
Department in the main office department.
Finance department in the NatEast is done their function on the limited basis because the
finance matter are mostly discuss and decided by the three partners and then given to the
accounts manager for the approval and adjustment. Nat east enterprises are partnership
firm therefore the finance department taken keen interest about the finance. Therefore
each and every rupee can be reported to the three partners. Finance department mostly
check the customer payment period which authenticate their behavior for the future
dealing in the current orders.
The Debtor management is done through the finance because the bettor delay occur and
cash utilization is decreased which disturb the over all operating cycle period.
Creditor confidence hold is also the responsibility of this department. Maximize the
creditor period to utilize the cash but also ensure not to loose the supplier.
Other funding is also managed under this department like before issuing the payment
cheque verification and the person identity can be enter in the data base.
Day to day expenditure also managed through this department. Due to the growing nature
NatEast also need to some rebursment procedure by the excusive usage of fund among
the partners.
All this function managed by IT department. It department is not too vast but growing as
business growth. They are using a custom build accounting software which is used to
record the transactions and they use MS Excel for report generation.
Each transaction is authorized by head accountant and manager.
Another challenge of creating and maintaining useful financial organizing systems knows
which papers and files to keep and which to toss. Though there's no master list of records
retention guidelines that will work for everyone. NatEast Enterprises have established
guidelines for what financial papers to keep and how long to keep them and how to sort
they and they keep the supporting of vouchers and other papers for long term and other
81
are shredded immediately. Neatest store things like tax returns in a sturdy file box
separate from other current files with a label on it. It leaves them with more room to work
with and makes it easier to find what they need without having to wade through papers
from past years.
Electronic data play important role in the decision making of NatEast Enterprises. Data
can be gathered quickly for the management and transformed into information as they
required. Data files can be created which separate the manual work time which the
accountant utilize to manage other work.
Spreadsheet work can be done in the NatEast which gives a good and quick presentation
about the reporting and monthly budgeting for the management.
During my work I attend to how the debtors can be processed by the Using Information
system and their Balance. first of all their due balance can be verified easily and quickly
by their unique id and Customer name then the request for the material issued to the
management gives exact values and figures which top level management required.
Because of electronic data they came across to know those minute things which impact a
lot on final place. Through this they can measure exact bad Debts Figure and help out to
mange the debtor accounts.
Assets and liabilities up to a maximum and minimum level can be managed through it.
Electronic data can be interconnected in the finance department therefore the Cost
Department also managed under same department.
82
• valuation of work in progress and finished goods
• Cost of labor
• Cost of other expenses in the period
• Labor in and out
