These were for the expenses and liabilities to be recorded in the official login of the AM. I got familiar with the working environment on the official login of the organization and learned how it works to enable the smooth working of the organization. A ledger account contains a record of business transactions. It is a separate record within the general ledger that is assigned to a specific asset, liability, equity item, revenue type, or expense type. The specific expense and liabilities record to the appropriate ledger for better understanding and record handling. Scanning of Documents and Saving It to Specified Logins In the same week, I also learned by helping the personnel on the floor the scanning and printing of different documents. Nishat is turning to be a paperless organization so a systematic linkage has been established among systems and scanners have been attached to the floor that enables everyone to scan the papers and make a soft copy of each document they receive in hard form. This is aimed to be an environmentally friendly organization. Scanning the documents their reference number and the amount stated on the voucher with their respective bills. So that it can be easy to analyze and found the error for the error free accounting entries and records. 2nd Week Learned How to Use the Official Login and Emailing System In the second week it is the next step forward on the system. I also learnt how to use official logins and emailing. Because there is an official system working within the organization, they use oracle system every employee has different email and password and login details, which shows its separate identity. Every employee has limited access to the company’s data. 47 | P a g e Bank Payment Voucher Entry in the Official Account In the same week, the vouchers which company received from the bank. After scanning they make entries in their official accounts to maintain their proper record of the transaction. It is necessary to keep the up-to-date record for the better performance of the company operations. I started entering bank payment vouchers in the system with an official login of AM. Many bills were entered for payment that these entries were registered and payments were to be made by the finance team after checking and approval of Manager. Assessing the Sales Tax by Calculating It Manually Same week, Sales tax calculation and sales tax implications were learned under the guidance of AM. Sales tax according to the rates specified by PRA is deducted at source only on services received by the Mills. The same is repaid to PRA monthly basis. Income tax is deducted while making payments to the creditors based on the criterion specified by the FBR. It is calculated by the sales department it is again calculated to check to correct figures by the accounts department before recording it to the system. To calculate the sales tax that is included in a company's receipts, divide the total amount received (for the items that are subject to sales tax) by "1 + the sales tax rate". 3rd Week Calculating the Amount of Income Tax Manually on Individual Bills for Payments In the third week, subtract the deductions from your Gross Total Income. The result will be your total taxable income. After calculating your total taxable income, apply the tax rates relevant for the financial year for which the income has been calculated to compute your tax liability. AM doing it for the correcting of record and find out the exact income tax rate and figure. Income tax and Sales tax both were assessed by the manually calculating the amount from the bills.

So, it can be sent further to the other official use or may be to the higher management for the approval. There are many imports documents like Bill of Entry, Commercial Invoice, Bill of Lading / Airway bill, Import License, Insurance certificate, Purchase order/Letter of Credit, Technical write up, literature etc. the accounts officer arranges all the documents to maintain purchase records. 4th Week Ledger Checking from the System for the Payment Reconciliation In the fourth week I learned to check the ledgers of debtors and creditors of Nishat Mils. Every creditor and debtor have certain codes allotted to them that are entered in the system and the ledgers are opened in the system for reporting purposes. These are reconciled at the month end with the payments made and expenses recorded. Company's legal financial debts or obligations that arise during the course of business operations it is checked in ledger records for to find out the creditors to whom the company have to pay the liabilities to the pre decided date. After checking company paid their liabilities. Record Journal Entries in the System In the Same week, an accounting journal is a detailed record of the financial transactions of the business. The transactions are listed in chronological order. Depending on the size and complexity of your business, a reference number can be assigned to each transaction. An accounting journal page has columns for the date, the account, and the amount debited or credited. Entries from the journal are posted (entered in) to the ledger. The ledger shows which accounts are affected and how they are affected. Scanning and Printing of Vouchers for Making the Approval In the same week, For the purpose of approval of a journal voucher a complete set is formed comprising of certain documents that constitute a complete voucher to be completed and to be sent for approval to the Manager. What is shown by the FBR 49 | P a g e regarding the creditor or debtor, ledger of the creditor. Likewise, the sales tax voucher is accompanied by certain documents from the online FBR or PRA sites to get it approved from the AGM or Manager Accounts. I scanned and make sets of these vouchers that were to be sent for the approval. Scan the documents from one to other to check the correct figure recorded on the voucher because after scanning these documents it sends to the management for further approvals. Careful scanning is very important in record handling. Then I learn how to print the documents. Give the print command to the system CNTRL P then select the range either want to print all pages or some of the part and then ok for the final quarry. 5th Week Finding GRN of Each Import from the Oracle In the start of fifth week, I was a called for in the purchase department. It comprises of a team of assistant managers headed by the Manager Mr. Shahid Bashir. It deals with the imports of goods that are necessary for the production. As the foreign reserves are on the shorter side in Pakistan so State Bank of Pakistan does not allow importers to enter into purchase agreement of any import amounting more than $10,000 and for that too, as the goods imported are reached in the Mills go down, evidence of receiving of documents are sent to SBP at the allotted time given by the SBP. All the imports documents are to be sorted out in the serial arrangement to keep the serial wise arranged documents which helps to find the required document that is to be sent to SBP on or before the allowed date. I arranged all the documents of the year closed 2020-21 in serial wise. It took me two days to arrange these documents. Then I was to find the GRNs- goods received numbers using the system and then to find the related documents from the arranged documents. Then I scanned all these documents and got the prints of these documents. These documents include the invoice number and the carriage invoice of the respective carrier. It was a new experience and purchase process is worth knowing. GRN is a goods receivable note which shows how much goods we import and their quantity. Search it the system Oracle to make sure that which GRN is shows either we have that or not. 50 | P a g e 6th Week Learned Some on the Job Excel Skills Same week, Report is made in excel which purpose is to identify how much raw material is received by the production department the quantity of waste material and produced goods and the quantity of total dispatched goods. I learn how to use excel, learn some general rules and formulas because most of the working in accounts department is doing through excel. Excel skills are very essential in work place. They told me that the most important formula that they use in daily working is SUMIF and VLOOKUP. Fabric Reconciliation Report Same week, costing team was assigned the task of stock taking from the Dyeing unit #35. It was factory area where I visit and it took a detail check of units for the closing Stock of month. All sorts of inventory including, Greige fabric, raw material, work in process and finished goods data was taken with the counting of each segment of inventory. It was hectic and tiring job. It took two days of doing it. It is a necessary task that needs to be undertaken to have a completer check on the production process. There are teams working in the factory and jobs have been assigned on the skills bases. Most of the production is exported. I came to know that the most expensive dyed fabric is being produced in Nishat that have a luxurious touch and delicacy in it outlook and in making. Costing team is also responsible to submit the marketwise distribution lists to the marketing department. I also assisted the team in doing so. Lock the Documents in System In the end, Lock the specific documents data in the system so the other parties can never harm or change the data. In locking the data in the official site of the system so it will be more save and secure for future for the company. All in all, it is very high-yielding experience to be part of this esteemed institution that is contributing not only in the exports of the country by making quality products but is also having finest people on board on this journey of success. 51 | P a g e Recommendation Recommendations for Improvements are: At present facility of bonus is given only to production staff but such incentives should also be given to Head Office Staff. Special incentives should also be given to Head on Eid and on other special days should be given to the workers. Medical facilities are given in mill but such facilities should also be given to management. Different training courses should be arranged for the up lifting and improving the quality of work for employees. There is also a problem of work overload for the employees and it should be control properly so that the employees are motivated. Employees should be paid extra for the work which they done after working hour 52 | P a g e Skills & Qualification Acquired The development of interpersonal skills is vitally important and, in reality, can only be effectively acquired in a workplace environment. During the internship period, I have got the opportunity to communicate with peers and bosses and learned that when to take the lead and when to step back from saying something. Internship made me boosts my sense of self-esteem and self-worth, making me a more confident and well-rounded individual; this is an essential component of personal and professional growth. I have built the skills to support my arguments whilst maintaining a positive tone and compromising with my peers. Such negotiations skills will come in handy with real-life job, from having to negotiate a work scheduling, a contact, or a deadline with boss. Being able to successfully negotiate, create a mutual understanding and solve a problem can ultimately be highly beneficial for workplace success. My exposure to the ‘real world ‘was minimal. Working in a team where colleagues vary drastically in terms of age, experience and knowledge can significantly alter perceptions and allow to see things differently; this accelerated maturity will not only stand you in good stead for future employment but also greatly benefit your studies. By heaving a more balanced viewpoint and starting to see the word outside your own educational bubble, this maturity will surely help me in personal development. I have learned the art of time management by meeting the assigned job in my internship as well as by preparing the report within the specified time. It helps me to prioritize responsibilities and recognize when it’s appropriate to multitask of focus on one particular project at a time. 53 | P a g e Bibliographic Source Mr. Mohammad Ali Mansha (Accounts Officer) References Textile sector analysis http://jcrvis.com.pk/docs/Textile201611.pdf Annual Report of NML 2021 https://nishatmillsltd.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Nishat-AnnualReport-2021.pdf Annual Report of NML 2020 https://nishatmillsltd.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Annual-Report2020.pdf About https://nishatmillsltd.com/ 54 | P a g e
