4.4.1 Clearing
As part of their daily business activity, banks receive cheques and other financial instruments from their customers drawn on other banks, to be collected and credited to their accounts. Similarly, banks receive cheques/instruments from other banks, deposited by customers of the banks drawn on the customers of the drawee banks. Therefore, the banks act as Collecting Banks when they send cheques/instruments for collection and as paying Banks, when they receive cheques/instruments for collection from other banks. Since each bank receive and sends cheques/instruments for collection to and from a number of banks, the process of settlement would clearly be very cumbersome and time consuming if every cheques /instrument had to be sent by the collection bank to each of the drawee banks or branch upon which different collection items are drawn and to individually pay the proceeds to each of the bank sending cheques/instrument in for collection. Therefore, the banks have evolved what is called the Bankers Clearing arrangement. Working of the Clearing Process Under the clearing arrangements, the Central Bank or the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) in our country, offers a Clearing House. or a centralized exchange facility, which works on the following general lines: All the banks operating in a city who are members of the Clearing House maintain an account with the SBPs Clearing House. 1. Every day representatives of all the banks in every city meet the Clearing House, first meeting in the morning, at an appointed time, for the purpose of depositing their own customers , cheques/instruments to be collected from other banks and receiving cheques/instrument drawn on their account holders from the others banks. 2. At the Clearing House accounts of all the banks are debited by the total amount of cheques/instruments drawn on their customers accounts and credited with the amount of their customers cheques/instruments drawn another banks, as per the list of cheques submitted by each bank. 3. The cheques/instruments received, also called Inward Clearing, and are take back by each bank to its bank/branch. The amounts of each cheques /instrument is debited or recovered from each drawee customers account and credited to the Clearing House account. Similarly, against the amount credited by the Clearing House as Outward Clearing, the appropriate customers accounts are credited and clearing House account is debited.

In the contract of specific Mudaraba, the nature and extent of business activities to be undertaken are described in detail. The type of business and amount of investment is laid down. It also limits out the frequencies of business transaction in a given field of operation. 6.2.2. Musharaka
Musharaka is a word of Arabic origin which literally means sharing. In the context of business and trade it means a joint enterprise in which all the partners share the profit or loss of the joint venture. It is an ideal alternative for the interest-based financing with far reaching effects on both production and distribution. In the modern capitalist economy, interest is the sole instrument indiscriminately used in financing of every type. Since Islam has prohibited interest, this instrument cannot be used for providing funds of any kind. Therefore, 'Musharakah' can play a vital role in an economy based on Islamic principles.
37
6.2.3. Ijarah
"Ijarah" is a term of Islamic Fiqh. It means 'to give something on rent'. In the Islamic jurisprudence, the term 'Ijarah' is used for two different situations. In the first place, it means 'to employ the services of a person on wages given to him as a consideration for his hired services." The employer is called 'mustajir' while the employee is called 'ajir'. The second type of Ijarah relates to the use of assets and properties, and not to the services of human beings. 'Ijarah' in this sense means 'to transfer the use of a particular property to another person in exchange for a rent claimed from him.' In this case, the term 'Ijarah' is analogous to the English term 'leasing'. Here the lessor is called 'Mujir', the lessee is called 'mustajir' and the rent payable to the lessor is called 'ujrah'.

Ratios Analysis:
Financial ratios use to determine how well their firm is performing in order to evaluate where the firm can improve. Investors use financial ratios to see if the firm is a good investment. By comparing financial ratios between companies and between industries, investors can better determine the best investment. Shortly ratio analysis means to evaluate the business performance and position.
Analysis
Current ratio matches current assets with current liabilities and tells us whether the current assets are enough to settle current liabilities. Less than 1 current ratio show difficulty in
39
obligation and more than 2 show inefficiency. The current ratio of Khyber bank was 1.12 in 2009 and 1.17 in 2011 is good ratio. Current ratio is high due to payment of current liability and more investment in current asset.
Cash ratio shows the extent to which readily available funds can pay off current liabilities. Cash ratio of 1.0 and above means that the business will be able to pay all its current liabilities in immediate short term. But ratios that are too high may show poor asset utilization for a company holding large amounts of cash on its balance sheet. The bank ratio was 0.11 in 2009 and .15 in 2011.increase in ratio shows good asset utilization.
40
Debt-to-Equity ratio is the ratio of total liabilities of a business to its shareholders' equity. It is a leverage ratio and it measures the degree to which the assets of the business are financed by the debts and the shareholders' equity of a business. The above ratios show that bank is finance is less then it debt. As the bank is profitable organization which attract the investors to in invest their capital in business. The ratios are very high which is good for banking sector. 7.2.2 Debt to Total Asset Ratio Debt ratio= Total liabilities/ Total asset Year Total debt Total asset 2009 32,848,273 38,810,570 2010 41,393,930 50,794,303 2011 58,058,972 68,424,464 Analysis: The debt ratio measures the proportion of assets financed by the outsiders money. The higher the ratio the greater the amount of other peoples money being used to generate the revenue. The bank has almost same ratio in the two years that shows its assets are financed up to 84% by the credit money that is not a good sign because it reduces the confidence of investors and this is acceptable up to 60% only. This ratio shows that bank has taken so many loans to run its affair. Ratio 0.84 0.81 0.84
41
Asset turnover (total asset turnover) is a financial ratio that measures the efficiency of a company's use of its assets to product sales. There is no set number that represents a good total asset turnover value because every industry has varying business models. The bank ratio was 0.087 in 2009 and 0.1 in 2011 show increase in asset turnover ratio.
Analysis
This ratio measures the efficiency of firms operating. The ratio -0.23 was negative in 2009 but in 2011 which show 18% gross profit. The loss occurred due to more expanses and more investment Provision against non-performing advances. In 2011 decrease in Provision against non-performing advances show 18 %profit.
42
7.4.2 Net Profit Margin Net profit & loss after taxes / Mark up-returned revenue Year 2009 2010 2011
Analysis: Net profit margin (or profit margin, net margin, return on revenue) is a ratio of profitability calculated as after-tax net income (net profits) divided by sales (revenue).In 2009 -0.18 The loss occurred due to more expanses and more investment Provision against non-performing advances but in 2011 decrease in Provision against non-performing advances show 12%profit.
Analysis
Return in investment ratio showed in 2009 negative -0.01 because of Investment in low income project and 2011 ratio 0.012 show positive return because of less investment in in Provision against non-performing advances
43
Analysis:
The ratio was negative as -0.1 in 2009 because of increase Provision against non-performing loans and advances and decreased in Provision against non-performing Loans and advances in 2011show 0.08 return.
44
8.2 Weakness
1. Employees are lacking motivation. Bank is not limits and Thus reducing the efficiency. 2. Communication gap between different levels of management. 3. The lower level management lacks clear direction and is not having the managerial depth. 4. Lack of experienced commercial bankers in the top management positions 5. Lack of modern banking approaches like ATM and commerce on line banking. 6. Marketing skills of the bank are good but they have little presence at different media. 7. Low salary structure as compare to competitors. 8. Not in the position to compete with other banks.
45
8.3 Opportunities
1. Opportunity to open branches in northern areas specially Because there is 100% current deposit. 2. Extending banking hours and providing more branches facilities to customers. 3. All branches are computerized therefore no difficulty in thinking it into on line banking. 4. Bank should take interest in the new market segments like IT business, software business etc. 5. A new serves to its product line. 6. Increasing credit facilities to lower income groups, thus reducing the risk of loss and also improving the image of the bank. 7. To open a branch in Afghanistan.
8.4 Threats
1. Political, economical situation of the country. 2. Deteriorating confidence of people in bank uncertainties of the investors. 3. Modern technology used by other commercial banks. 4. Starting Islamic banking is threats for BoK because if it is flop it will be a big loss for BOK. 5. Increasing number of private/foreign banks in the country. 6. Reducing the rates of savings in different segments of people. 7. Bank Alfalah and other commercial banks is the biggest threat for BOK. 8. Qualified staff working in other banks.
46
For SWOT analysis we can conclude that the management of the bank should adopt systematic planning for the bank growth, talking with them all management levels of the banks, discover new segments of the customers, offering schemes for its customers. Similarly Bank of Khyber has to focus on potential customers and give proper attention to every customer and their need then it will become one of the leading and comprehensive bank. Emphasis on present customers by giving them personal Services and targeting the private potential customers instead of Government deposits at high interest rates. Creeping trend of non-performing loans.

9.2 RECOMMENDATION
The following findings and recommendations are based on personal observations and analysis. The given recommendations will help to cope the problems being faced by the bank and will enhance the efficiency and performance of the bank of Khyber.
1. Space Shortage:
During my internship in the ashraf road branch Peshawar I observed that there is shortage of space at branch. There is no proper and easy seating arrangement for the customers. To over come this problem, the bank either may hire the adjacent building or simply can shift to some other place.
2. Better Communication
49
The management of BoK should concentrate on improving upward communication so as to have better feedback system involvement in the bank operation.
3. Shortage Of Employees
Shortage of employees increases the workload on existing employees and ultimately reduces the output and motivation level of employees. To overcome this problem job description should be revised and grouped together in order to create new jobs. Recruitment should be done in order to fill up these new vacancies. In this way the workload on employees will be reduced, operations will be stream lined and employees will feel comfortable in performing their duties more effectively.
6. Professional Attitude: More professional attitude is required from the bankers. The management should curtail the unnecessary expenses to improve profitability. All loop holes must be closed that are used to incur expenses in respect of telephone, fuel, electricity, fringe benefits etc. the bank should analyze each activity on cost and benefit basis (cost benefit analysis). 7. Consumer Satisfaction: In todays world of competition only consumers satisfaction can reduce competitive advantage. As said in critical analysis there are some problems related to the dissatisfaction of consumers.
50
The Bank of Khyber has to improve services provided to the pensioners and also they have to adopt scientific methods of paying utility bills. Improving the quality of consumer service can do all these things. If the consumers are satisfied from the service he will expand his business with the bank. But if the level of services is not good then the bank will lose its customers. For this proper training has to be imparted to the employees. 8. International Banking
BOK should expand its branches, not only in Pakistan but also outside the country now.
