An important requirement of this training program is to compile a report about the activities of that organization in which the student has done the internship. The internship provided me great opportunity to equip myself with knowledge, techniques, application and tools used in an organization.The purpose of this Internship Report is to share the process of learning and experience that I underwent during the course of my Internship with KSB Pumps Company Limited. My Internship was in the Projects Accounts & Finance Department at the Head Office of KSB Pumps Company Limited. Internship mainly consisted of work related to Projects Accounts & Finance. During the 6 weeks of internship I was able to grasp the procedures, processes and dynamic tasks of the Projects Accounts & Finance activities. My this experience in KSB Pumps will definitely help me a lot to make my foundation to enter into a professional field and where I can apply my this experience diligently. This period has a key importance in my career life because I gained a lot through this internship and I will try to apply it in my future job. In future correspondence, my internship period will guide me to choose my career path because it enables me to know the work nature of multinationals. I learnt practically a lot during this internship period which assists me to choose my practical field in future. I hope this report will help in understanding various aspects and features of KSB Pumps Company Limited and will be equally important for commerce students and persons making future careers in multinationals. 5 KSB Pumps Company Limited EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report is about my internship program with KSB Pumps Company Limited.

By meeting these expectations we cement confidence in our company and the KSB brand. At the same time, we maintain the values that have characterized KSB’s activity for decades. We are jointly responsible for our company’s reputation. Improper behavior by even one person can damage our reputation for a long time. That is why we need a binding concept of what defines our shared understanding of professional and honest business behavior. We have summarized the relevant guidelines and key rules in the following Code of Conduct. We will keep a close eye on future developments in the legal and business environment and adapt the Code as required. 10 KSB Pumps Company Limited The KSB Code of Conduct offers orientation and assistance but also contains the binding requirements our actions need to be based on. Fully committed to these rules, we expect consistent adherence to the following “core values” from our managers and employees at all levels and will monitor this in an appropriate manner. We are confident that you will all comply with the requirements laid down in this Code of Conduct. Dr. Wolfgang Schmitt Chairman of the Board of Management of KSB Aktiengesellschaft 1. Purpose and scope: It is basically a matter of course that companies, their representatives, managers and employees act in compliance with the applicable laws. Ensuring that this is the case is becoming ever more difficult due to the myriad of requirements and the increasing number of legal provisions and regulations. All activities that help to ensure behavior by a company and its employees that meets the regulations and laws in day-to-day practice and to prevent incorrect behavior are referred to as “compliance”. This also includes observing contractual agreements and voluntarily agreed commitments. The Code of Conduct constitutes the basis of compliance activities at KSB. It describes the key legal and business policy principles that we use in our relationships with customers, suppliers and other business partners as well as our internal cooperation. It also determines our conduct on financial markets and in the various countries in which we work. The Code aims to support employees in their day-to-day work. Proper conduct particularly involves acting with integrity, reliability and transparency. Your observance of these core values is as much a requirement for justifying the trust our business partners place in us and being a successful market player as is the high quality of our products and services. KSB’s reputation is more important than the individual success of any particular business transaction or person. 11 KSB Pumps Company Limited The Code of Conduct is compulsory for all employees at all levels. It covers all organizational units and Group companies where KSB Aktiengesellschaft directly or indirectly holds an interest of more than 50%. If the interest held is lower we will encourage the relevant company to adhere to similar standards. Some of the requirements listed in the KSB Code of Conduct are supplemented and set out in greater detail by Group Guidelines, e.g. for cartel law and preventing corruption. These documents are available both on the KSB intranet and with the Management of KSB Group companies; it is the responsibility of each employee to be familiar with the Group Guidelines relevant to his or her activity. In some countries business practices do not meet the requirements of this Code of Conduct. Nevertheless, we expect our employees to use these rules for guidance on the basis of the relevant applicable laws. Regional regulations shall have priority if and to the extent that they exceed these requirements; the relevant regional Management shall outline any variations. 2. Basic rules of conduct: 2.1 Working with each other; The relationships between managers, colleagues and employees in all corporate divisions and regions should be characterized by professionalism, mutual respect and fairness. In this we take account of cultural differences. It is our declared goal to not disadvantage anybody based on such individual characteristics as age, race, religion, skin color, gender, sexual orientation, disability, national origin, heritage or marital status. In the working environment we do not tolerate discrimination, harassment or reprisals. This also applies to our contacts with people outside KSB, for example job applicants. 12 KSB Pumps Company Limited 2.2 Acting as role models; The members of the Board of Management and Supervisory Board of KSB Aktiengesellschaft as well as the representatives of Group companies and others who exercise management responsibility shall act as role models for others. They are expected to observe the principles laid down in this Code of Conduct with special commitment, as well as provide support and ensure they are complied with in everyday work life. 2.3 Communication and Transparency; Reports and communication to those within the company, business partners, investors, the public, official organizations and authorities shall be understandable, truthful and submitted in good time; they must also be in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations. Our financial statements shall correctly document business transactions. In order to avoid a lack of clarity and/or misunderstandings, only expressly authorized people can provide company statements. This applies in particular to communication with the media, investors and analysts. We cooperate with official organizations and authorities and support their work – whilst maintaining our rights. As a matter of principle we do not provide information on customer relationships, matters relating to an individual employee, competitors or ongoing investigations; as a matter of principle we do not comment on rumors. 13 KSB Pumps Company Limited 2.4 Managing business; Law-abiding Behavior We operate our business in such a manner as to comply with the applicable laws, other binding regulations and obligations that we have entered voluntarily. It is in particular the responsibility of the relevant line manager to give employees all the necessary instructions and support, e.g. access to all internal guidelines, and if necessary to explain them. Preventive legal Advice In order to reduce risks employees should obtain advice from the relevant Legal Affairs department if there are legal issues in question. Use of Company Resources Each employee shall handle the company’s resources, such as machinery, fixtures and office materials, responsibly. Private use shall be prohibited as a matter of principle and shall require approval in each individual case. In particular, the Group’s guidelines governing the use of telecommunication resources and computers shall be complied with. Innovative products and solutions are of great importance for the development of the company. Inventions made by employees or third parties for the company must be legally protected by reasonable means. No employee may disclose information on the company’s know-how and expertise (e.g. design drawings) or business secrets to project partners or other third parties without being expressly authorized to do so. Corruption, Bribery When competing for orders KSB bases its decisions on objective economic criteria such as quality and price. 14 KSB Pumps Company Limited Our employees are not permitted to offer or give third parties direct or indirect advantages to exert an unfair influence on economic decisions, whether through financial payments or other means. No employee may use his or her employment to demand, accept or otherwise acquire unfair advantages. Employees who sign contracts with consultants, agents or similar third parties must ensure that the latter also comply with these rules. Gifts, favors, hospitality or other benefits may only be given or accepted if they do not infringe applicable laws or KSB guidelines and neither damage the public reputation of KSB nor the probity of the employee if they become known publicly. In cases of doubt, the matter must be discussed and agreed with the line manager or the relevant Compliance Officer. 2.5 Business Relationships: Awarding Contracts KSB maintains fair dealings with all business partners. Suppliers and service providers are selected using objective and traceable criteria as well as on the basis of comparing quotations. Business Incentives Commissions or benefits (e.g. discounts or price reductions) related to goods and services are permissible business incentives. Their use always requires – in addition to comprehensive documentation – great care and the observation of the relevant legal provisions and regulations. Payments Payment for goods and services received shall be made directly to the relevant contractual partner and in general in the country where it is based. Cash payments should not be made except in documented individual cases. Before agreeing on other 15 KSB Pumps Company Limited payment arrangements the relevant Legal Affairs department or company representatives (Advisory Board, Board of Management etc.) must be informed. 2.6 Conflicts of Interest: Secondary Employment Holding a second job that is not simply of marginal scope requires the prior consent of the relevant Human Resources department. Secondary employment with customers, suppliers or competitors always requires prior consent. Consent will not be given as a matter of principle if the secondary employment may adversely affect work performance, contradicts the employee’s duties or if there is a risk of a conflict of interests. Interests held in Competitor, Customer and Supplier Companies Material interests held by employees in a competitor, customer or supplier company of KSB require the consent of the Human Resources department Material interests held by close family members in a competitor, customer or supplier company must be notified to the responsible Compliance Officer if there is the possibility of a conflict of interests for the employee. Spouses, registered partners, children receiving support and other relatives with whom the employee has lived in the same household for at least a year at the time the stake is purchased are defined as close family members. A material interest is defined as 10% of the shares or more, for listed companies 1% or more. Transactions with Employees or Family Members There should be no KSB transactions with employees or their family members if they have not been agreed individually in advance by the employee’s line manager or the relevant Management of the company. It should be ensured that the employee concerned is not involved in making the decision. 16 KSB Pumps Company Limited Business Opportunities No employee may exploit KSB business opportunities to his or her own advantage or the advantage of third parties. 2.7 Insider Information: Insider information shall always be treated in strict confidence and relates to facts the knowledge of which could affect an investor’s decision about the purchase or sale of listed shares (or derivatives thereof). This applies, for example, to knowledge about material planned acquisitions or sell-offs, strategic alliances, major agreements or likely differences in corporate profits to those published. In line with the legal provisions and regulations applicable in this context, KSB employees must ensure that no insider information is used when trading shares or derivatives (including that relating to business partners) and that this information is not disclosed to third parties. 2.8 Confidentiality: Information that KSB has not made public (e.g. technical knowhow and expertise) shall be treated in strict confidence as a matter of principle. It must not be disclosed to unauthorized third parties (including family members and friends) during or after the end of the employment relationship. It is prohibited to use confidential business information during or after the end of the employment relationship for personal advantage, the advantage of third parties or the disadvantage of KSB. Each employee shall handle confidential data responsibly and with foresight, for example store it carefully rather than “leave it lying around”, in order to protect it from access by third parties. 17 KSB Pumps Company Limited 2.9 Social Commitment: KSB’s social commitment includes making donations, mainly for social or cultural purposes. Donations are made in a transparent manner and free of personal interests on the basis of traceable criteria and the corresponding internal guidelines. All donation processes are documented. As a matter of principle KSB does not get involved in party political activities. This includes financial support and benefits for parties, political organizations and their representatives as well as activities or events on behalf of or on the premises of KSB. However, our employees are always free to get involved appropriately in political activities as private individuals and citizens – outside working hours. 3. Special Issues: 3.1 Competition and Cartel Law; When dealing with competitors and business partners we follow the rules of fair competition. These are the basic requirement for performance-based market regulations. Any and all actions that aim to create an economic advantage in a manner that contravenes competition law or using cartel agreements are prohibited. This relates in particular to agreements among competitors to fix or control prices, boycott certain suppliers or customers, share customers or markets or restrict the production or sale of products. Infringing current competition law can result in substantial fines, risk of damages and loss of image that harm our company and its position in the marketplace. In addition, the affected employees themselves will have to expect legal consequences. 3.2 International Trade and Export control KSB observes applicable international trade provisions. These include customs regulations and trade and production controls. Each employee shall follow the internal rules on export control as well as the legal provisions and regulations. 18 KSB Pumps Company Limited Without approval by the relevant authorities, KSB does not export or import materials, products or technologies that are subject to statutory control and require import or export permits. 3.3 Tax Laws As an internationally operating Group, KSB observes all relevant tax law provisions. It does not support improper behavior by business partners. We set transfer prices using globally recognized principles and compare them with the terms and conditions of external third parties. Employees on international assignments are obliged to comply with the tax laws that apply to them personally in line with our deployment regulations. 3.4 Environmental Protection Compliance with high environmental standards is an important element of our corporate policy. With an effective environmental protection approach, KSB bears its corporate responsibility not only to secure the health of its employees but also the natural basis for life for everybody. 3.5 Occupational Health and Safety KSB is committed to providing a safe working environment for employees. The strict observance of the relevant regulations on occupational health and equipment safety is a basic prerequisite for responsible cooperation in the company. We also counteract risks by voluntary, preventive measures. 3.6 Safety and Quality of Products As a leading technology company, KSB provides customers with innovative solutions for their needs. We research, develop and work to benefit people who trust – and have every right to trust – in the perfect condition of our products and services. Meeting the high safety and quality requirements of our customers is one of the key corporate objectives. 19 KSB Pumps Company Limited 3.7 Data Privacy and Protection KSB respects the rights of employees and third parties relating to their personal data. The company takes the necessary precautions to ensure that personal data is only recorded, processed and used in strict compliance with the relevant applicable provisions. 3.8. IT Security As a result of the intensive use of IT systems, the business activity of KSB is heavily dependent on their operation and availability. In order to limit the resulting potential risks the applicable guidelines on IT security must be observed strictly. 4. Implementation: Each KSB employee consciously and actively contributes to implementing the principles of the Code of Conduct correctly in his or her area of work. The aim is to avoid problems as defined by the Code or to identify them early on and find a quick solution. Employees who have questions on specific situations can refer to the following at any time. Information and Control Duties by Line Managers Each line manager ensures that employees are informed about the content of the KSB Code of Conduct and comply with its stipulations. Employees can discuss any questions with their line manager or relevant Compliance Officer. Employee Duty of Notification if Variances Become Known If Group employees are or become aware of infringements of the KSB Code of Conduct, they are expected to inform their line manager or the relevant Compliance Officer. Group Compliance Officer The Group Compliance Officer, Dr. H. Stefan Wiss (Tel.: +49 6233 86-2266; hansstefan.wiss@ksb.com), supports the implementation of the Code of Conduct throughout the Group. In this function he reports directly to the Chairman of the Board of 20 KSB Pumps Company Limited Management but does not receive instructions from him. In addition, other Compliance Officers may be appointed, e.g. with specific technical or regional responsibilities. If the Group Compliance Officer determines that there is reasonable initial suspicion of an infringement of the provisions of the Code of Conduct he may request other Group departments to assist in clarifying the matter. Information on any incorrect behavior will be treated anonymously on request in order to avoid disadvantages for the person providing the information. Ombudsman If employees are or become aware of facts relating to criminal or cartel law, instead of the relevant Compliance Officer they may also inform the law firm commissioned for this purpose by KSB. The law firm will forward such information to the Group Compliance Officer but without naming the informant in order to ensure confidentiality in such cases (ombudsman system). Contact can be made from any country, either in German or English, and both by telephone and in writing. The contact is; Dr. André Grosze Vorholt Luther Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH Landshuter Allee 680637 Munich Germany Mobile +49 152 01624700 Fax +49 89 23714-110 E-mail: andre.groszevorholt@luther-lawfirm.com. Sanctions and Consequences Infringements of the KSB Code of Conduct may result in employment, civil or criminal law consequences for the employee concerned and will also be treated in line with the usual corporate practice. 21 KSB Pumps Company Limited Corporate Directive on Prevention of Corruption I. Purpose and Scope of Application of This Corporate Directive: 1. This Corporate Directive provides standards of behavior for all employees of the KSB Group for the avoidance of corruption. It is intended to help employees conduct themselves correctly in specific situations in order to avoid damage to themselves and the company. 2. In all their business activities and decisions, our employees shall at all times observe the applicable laws and regulations (including the relevant KSB regulations). 3. This Corporate Directive is based on German legislation, and is accordingly mandatory for all German employees of the Group and all Group employees working in Germany. 4. In addition, all other employees of the KSB Group shall also observe the stipulations of this Corporate Directive on the basis of the relevant applicable law, except where stricter provisions are applicable to the actions of the employees on account of their nationality or on account of the laws of the country in which they act. In such case, the stricter standards take precedence over this Corporate Directive. 22 KSB Pumps Company Limited II. What is corruption? 1. In general, the term corruption is understood to mean the acceptance or granting of advantages or benefits for the purpose of the unfair influencing of business or official decisions. 2. Corruption is a crime. Both the recipient and the grantor of the advantage or benefit make themselves criminally liable. 3. Particularly strict provisions apply in relation to dealings with public officials. Corruption is, however, also prohibited in private industry. 4. Corruption does not just begin with the acceptance or granting of benefits. Even the offer, promise, demand or acceptance of a promise already results in criminal liability and all the consequences associated therewith. 5. The prohibition of corruption applies worldwide. III. Consequences for employees and the company: Corruption may have far-reaching consequences for employees and the company: 1. Consequences for employees 1.1 A person who is guilty of corrupt behavior – whether through the granting or the acceptance of advantages – commits a crime. In the course of investigations, searches are frequently carried out of private homes and places of work, and interrogations conducted of work colleagues and supervisors. A person who is found guilty of corruption may be sentenced to several years of imprisonment or a high fine. 23 KSB Pumps Company Limited 1.2 Customers, contractors and competitors may suffer damage as a result of corruption. These parties may claim damages from the offenders personally. 1.3 Through corrupt behavior, employees breach their obligations as towards their employer. As a rule, corrupt behavior entitles the employer to dismiss the employee without notice. 2. Consequences for the company management 2.1 If employees are guilty of corrupt behavior which would have been prevented or made considerably more difficult through proper supervision on the part of the company management, the management may have an administrative fine imposed upon it, and in individual cases even be made criminally liable. 2.2 The company management is therefore obliged by law to counteract corrupt behavior, to carry out regular checks and controls, to investigate cases of suspicion and penalize breaches accordingly. 3. Consequences for the company 3.1 If employees are guilty of corrupt behavior, a high fine may be imposed on the company. This fine may, in certain circumstances, reach the amount of the sales revenue generated by the transaction affected. The company may also be excluded from public contracts. 3.2 If partners to a contract or any competitors have suffered damage by the corrupt action of an employee, the company may face a civil law claim for damages. 3.3 According to the credit terms of the credit insurance company Euler Hermes Kreditversicherung, the insurance cover lapses in relation to exports if the applicant has offered, promised or granted unlawful benefits in connection with the relevant contract. 24 KSB Pumps Company Limited The applicant is still charged with the insurance fees. In addition, it faces legal consequences on account of the attempt to obtain insurance cover by false pretences. IV. The Position of KSB 1. KSB is determined not to tolerate any corrupt practices, either through employees or business partners. Infringement of the provisions of this Corporate Directive will lead to the legal and employment consequences appropriate in the individual case. 2. KSB prohibits any and all participation in or tolerance of bribery or any other form of corruption. 3. KSB will continuously improve the controls for the avoidance and exposure of corruption in order to detect and eliminate possible weak points that promote corrupt behavior. 4. The basic principles addressed in the KSB Code of Conduct require that in each commercial activity even the appearance of corruption or corruptibility shall be avoided. 5. KSB expects all employees to regard it as their personal task to contribute to the avoidance and exposure of corruption in the KSB business environment, and thereby to strengthen KSB’s reputation. V. Standards of conduct for the prevention of corruption: The following rules of conduct are intended to serve the avoidance of even the appearance of corrupt behavior: 1.Dealings with customers and suppliers 1.1 Suppliers shall be selected exclusively according to principles of competition, i.e. in particular by reason of the price, the quality and suitability of their performance. 25 KSB Pumps Company Limited 1.2 KSB employees shall immediately reject any attempt on the part of suppliers to unfairly influence the placing of orders through the offer, promise or granting of personal advantages. 1.3 KSB maintains its market share exclusively through the high quality of its products and services, customer friendliness and an attractive price/performance ratio. 1.4 KSB employees are prohibited from making any attempt to unfairly influence customer decisions through the offer, promise or granting of personal advantages. 2. Presents and benefits to public officials 2.1 KSB employees are prohibited from offering, promising or granting monetary or material benefits of any kind whatever to public officials, however insignificant such benefits may be. The reason for this lies in the particularly strict rules which generally forbid the offering or granting of any benefits to a public official, regardless of their value. 2.2 The strict provisions relating to public officials and authorities apply first of all to all holders and institutions of public power, such as federal and state governments, district authorities, municipal authorities, facilities of the German Federal Armed Forces, courts, institutions, corporations and foundations established under public law, employees of the above-mentioned bodies, officials, soldiers and judges (the examples relate to Germany). 2.3 The strict provisions relating to public officials and authorities further apply to privately organized establishments with public tasks or state participation, such as public transport or utility companies, public hospitals or waste disposal companies, as well as to their employees. 2.4 The prohibition of the granting of benefits under 2.1 also applies to relatives of the public officials mentioned in 2.2 and 2.3, and all other persons who may be suspected of accepting a benefit on behalf of a public official. 2.5 Exceptions on an individual basis require the prior consent of the responsible Compliance Officer. 26 KSB Pumps Company Limited 3. Presents and benefits in other business dealings 3.1 Outside the scope of application of the foregoing clause V.2., business partners within the meaning of the following provisions are persons or businesses and their management executives, employees and representatives with whom KSB maintains, has maintained or might in future maintain business relations. 3.2 KSB employees shall not demand, either for themselves or third parties, any invitations to meals or events, any presents, other benefits, personal services or any other favors from business partners. 3.3 Neither KSB employees nor the immediate members of their families may receive any monetary presents – regardless of their amount – from business partners. Conversely, KSB employees shall not offer, promise or give any monetary presents to business partners. 3.4 Notwithstanding the above, KSB, within the scope of the applicable laws, takes into account the concept of social custom in the case of the acceptance and granting of presents or benefits. Each culture and society has traditional manners of behavior which are regarded as customary; the failure to observe the same would on occasion even be considered impolite, and convey a low estimation of the opposite party. Accordingly, as a rule of thumb, the following applies: The receipt or granting of presents or benefits is, as a rule, impermissible if the same no longer fall within the scope of what is socially customary, i.e. if the boundaries of business custom and also the personal status of the parties involved are exceeded – taking into account the respective level in the hierarchy and the reason for the present or benefit. The specific provisions to be observed at KSB in this connection are set out in the following sections. 27 KSB Pumps Company Limited 3.5 The acceptance, offer, promise or granting of any material benefits is only permissible where any possibility is excluded that business decisions might be influenced thereby. Nor may the impression be created that any influencing is intended or possible. Subject to these conditions, the acceptance and granting of material benefits is always permissible up to a value of 30 Euros; higher amounts so long as they remain within the customary social framework. Irrespective of this, the offer, promise or granting of material benefits is always impermissible if there is reason to assume that acceptance of the benefit by the recipient is prohibited by company regulations. 3.6 Provided any possibility is excluded that business decisions might thereby be influenced or a corresponding impression thereby be created, KSB employees may, on special business occasions, both participate in and issue business catering invitations within the customary social scope. 3.7 The participation in events and trips the costs of which are borne by third parties is permissible for KSB employees if: A business reason exists, and the participation coincides in the individual case with the interests of KSB, and The customary business framework is not exceeded, and Any possibility is excluded that business decisions might thereby be influenced or a corresponding impression be thereby created. The participation in such events and trips which exclusively or primarily pursue social purposes (of a cultural, sporting etc. nature) is permissible only following the prior consent of the respective superior. 3.8 Invitations to business partners by KSB to trips or events are permissible if the same remain within the customary social framework, and provided any possibility is excluded 28 KSB Pumps Company Limited that business decisions could thereby be influenced or a corresponding impression be thereby created. 3.9 In cases of doubt, the prior consent of the responsible Compliance Officer shall be obtained. 4. Involvement of agents and consultants Fees for agents and consultants are in practice frequently open to the suspicion that they serve to conceal corrupt benefits. In order to preclude even the appearance of unfair behavior, the following points in particular shall therefore be subjected to a critical examination when involving agents and consultants: 4.1 Seriousness of the agent / consultant: The basic principle reads: "(Better) know your consultant"! A critical examination of quality and reputation is always necessary. The location of the head office of a consulting firm in well known tax havens such as the Cayman Islands or the Channel Islands, but also Liechtenstein, Switzerland and Luxembourg, should arouse suspicion unless reasonable grounds for such location are evident. 4.2 Nature of the activity and documentation: The performances owed on the part of the agent / consultant shall be laid down in detail by contract (e.g. the negotiation on a case-by case basis of certain business transactions or certain financing). The KSB employee responsible shall record in writing the performances received, and confirm the same to the payee when remunerating the performance. Running activity reports or file notes may serve in this respect as documentary proofs. 4.3 Reasonableness of the consideration: The remuneration of the agent / consultant shall always be examined as to its reasonableness and conformity with market 29 KSB Pumps Company Limited conditions. The relevant industry, region and the nature of the performance may, inter alia, be used as criteria in this respect. In the case of a bank transfer of the remuneration, the agent / consultant shall always be indicated as contractually agreed recipient of the payment if the payment is not actually made direct to him - as will, however, normally be the case. 4.4 Through the use of compliance clauses it should be contractually agreed that agents / consultants shall not use the money received from KSB for corrupt behavior, and that KSB shall also not tolerate any other corrupt practices on the part of the agents / consultants. Corrupt behavior / practices shall - as far as possible – be subject to penalties and the right to extraordinary termination of the contract. 30 KSB Pumps Company Limited KSB Pumps Company Limited Pakistan History KSB Pakistan is an affiliate company of the world famous German KSB Group, which was founded in 1871.

Present an unbiased view on the audited functions with recommendations to the board audit committee. Scope: The audit reports as per the milestones defined in the audit plan Minimum significant NCR / observations in the external audit report Carrying out audit activities as defined in the audit plan Reducing observations in the external audit report Enterprise Risk Management We define risk as: “a potential damage-causing event” It is the policy of KSB to anticipate and avoid risk, wherever possible, rather than dealing with the consequences. Risk management policy is directed towards avoiding risk, as management understands that risks cannot be totally eliminated. Only decision taken in uncertainty (whether to do or not to do something) results in a risk. KSB risk management is a continuous process for identifying the financial, operational and general business risks. Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for the Company’s system of risk management and internal controls. The Directors have delegated to Executive 59 KSB Pumps Company Limited Management, the establishment and implementation of an internal control system. The controls reduce risks from unacceptable level, to a stage deemed acceptable by the Company. The system of internal controls provides reasonable but not absolute assurance that assets are safeguarded, transactions are authorized/recorded properly. Financial Risk Factor The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, other price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the financial performance. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk represents the risk that the Company will encounter difficulties in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. Due to the dynamic nature of the Company's business, the Company's Finance Department maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines. Management monitors the forecasts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flow. This is generally carried out in accordance with practice and limits set by the Company. These limits vary by location to take into account the liquidity of the market in which the entity operates. In addition, the Company's liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows in each quarter and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet its liabilities; monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements; and maintaining debt financing plans. 60 KSB Pumps Company Limited Corporate Social Responsibility KSB Care: Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Program works under the umbrella of KSB Care – APAC Program. It focused on providing a sustainable infrastructure and basic amenities to underprivileged students at schools in the rural areas of Pakistan, around our Production Facility in Hassanabdal. The activities under the KSB Care umbrella, ranged from provision of uniforms for students and making available comfortable classroom environments for effective learning to assist in strengthening the infrastructure. Our initiatives have received a very encouraging response from our beneficiaries. The enthusiasm and cooperation that they have shown has strengthened our belief in our efforts for raising the bar of education and helping the recipients of this act of goodwill even further. In 2009, KSB Pakistan introduced another angle, also related to education. We offered the opportunity for giving scholarships to students who were bright and good performers but poverty barred them from completing their education. The limitation of insufficient funds for finishing high school is a dilemma often leading to frustration in the youth. KSB Pakistan initiated to deal with it under the KSB Care program, in its own small way as a contribution towards a brilliant future of Pakistan. In a ceremony held in November 2009, 122 high achievers, who were unable to continue studies due to poverty, were awarded scholarships under the KSB Care program. This was a proud and encouraging moment for KSB Pakistan. It gave us the sense of contribution to the Country while touching the lives of many families in a manner that gave hope and security. Alongside this the assistance in strengthening of school infrastructures and provision of comfortable learning environments continued as an ongoing efforts. 61 KSB Pumps Company Limited RATIO ANALYSIS Ratio refers the one number in terms of another. The purpose of ratio analysis depends upon the event for which the analysis is made. Management likes to know about the operational efficiency and think of such ratios as return on investment, turnover of fixed assets, and net profit to sales etc. Creditors like to know the ability of the company to meet its current obligations and therefore, think of current and liquid ratios, turnover of receivables, and coverage of interest by the level of earnings. So ratio analysis is important from all perspective. Liquidity Ratios 1) Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities = 1,483,920,186 / 918,664,908 = 1.62(Times) Year Times 2006 2.11 2007 2.01 2008 1.97 2009 1.74 2.5 2 1.5 1 0.5 2010 1.62 0 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 Generally, the higher the current ratio, the more liquid the firm is considered to be. A current ratio of 2.0 is occasionally sited as acceptable, but a value’s acceptability 62 KSB Pumps Company Limited depends on the industry in which the firm operates. KSB is involved in different project businesses so the current ratio of 1.62 is almost acceptable. 2) Quick Ratio/Acid Test Ratio = (Current Assets - Inventory) / Current Liabilities = (1,483,920,186 – 504,449,000) / 918,665,000 = 1.07(Times) Year Times 2006 1.23 2007 1.38 2008 1.19 2009 1.20 2010 1.07 1.4 1.2 1 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 0 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 The quick ratio is similar to the current ratio except that it excludes inventory, which is generally the least liquid current asset. A quick ratio of 1.0 is occasionally recommended, but as with the current ratio, what value is acceptable depends on the industry. The quick ratio provides a better measure of all overall liquidity only when a firm’s inventory cannot be easily converted into cash. If inventory is liquid, the current ratio is a preferred measure of overall liquidity. 63 KSB Pumps Company Limited Activity Ratios 1) Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold / Inventory = 1564429000 / 504,449,000 = 3.10(Times) Year Times 2006 2.27 2007 2.92 3.5 3 2.5 2 2008 2.45 2009 2.45 2010 3.10 1.5 1 0.5 0 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 Inventory turnover commonly measure the activity or liquidity of a firm’s inventory.

The average collection period of KSB is 113 days; it means that on the average it takes 113 days to collect an account receivable. The average collection period is meaningful only in relation to the firm’s credit terms. The credit period offered by the KSB to customers is 30 days, average collection period of 113 days is quite acceptable. Comparing with last years the KSB is recovering its amounts not earlier from its customers. It increases the risk of bad debts. 65 KSB Pumps Company Limited Total Asset Turnover = Sales / Total Assets = 2047989000 / 1809108000 = 1.13 (Times) Year Times 2006 1.69 2007 1.54 2008 1.53 2009 1.27 2010 1.13 1.8 1.6 1.4 1.2 1 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 0 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 The total asset turnover indicates the efficiency with which the firm uses its assets to generate sales.

It is applicable to either corporate level or the business unit level and frequently appears in marketing plans. SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. As far the SWOT analysis of KSB Pumps is concerned, situation show the following facts: Strengths: Strong Brand Name Good reputation among customers Cost advantage from proprietary know-how Exclusive access to high grade natural resources Favorable access to distribution networks Resources, Assets and People Innovation Aspects Experience, Knowledge & Data Quality process and procedures KSB Pumps enjoys a good reputation not only in Pakistan but across the globe. Further it is a subsidiary of KSB AG by which is also Pumps and Valves leader in the world. So it strengthens the image of KSB Pumps Pakistan business also. Innovation and quality control also have been a success for the KSB Pumps. Business has a team of experience people and has a powerful distribution network across Pakistan. 80 KSB Pumps Company Limited Weaknesses: Timescale, Deadlines and pressure Reliability of Data, plan predictability Location of the business Along with the strengths, KSB Pumps also has some weaknesses. First one is the pressure and deadlines for the plant. Plant is operating at its full capacity and company cannot afford the breakdown or shutdown of the plant because demand is always on the higher end. Plant is in remote area, that’s why in case of any emergency, when expertise are not available in Hasanabdal, it takes time to repair any damage to the production. Further production at remote area, also increased transportation cost to the different areas of the country. Opportunities: Market Development An unfilled customer need Arrival of new technologies Loosening of regulations Removal of international trade barriers Information and Research Partnership, Agencies and Distribution Volume, Production and Economies 81 KSB Pumps Company Limited There are a lot of opportunities for the KSB for the Pumps Business. Due to high growth of industry in Pakistan, demand of the Pumps is increasing day by day as it is an important segment for different industries like power generation, textile, paper etc. Further economy of scale is also an important opportunity. There is only one competitor for the KSB in Pumps and KSB has hold on more than 70% of the market. New technologies are also helping in order to reduce cost of production. Threats: Emergence of new technological products Political Effects Recession conditions in the world market Loss of key staff Environmental Effects Competitors Intentions New regulations KSB Pumps is also facing some threats in process of conducting business. Pumps are mainly used in different industries. Due to growth of production and new technologies, it is possible to substitute some products from others. So business faces this threat that in future their products can be replace by some other low cost products. Due to situation if far area, many employees leave the job when they got an opportunity in some other sector in main city. Further competitors can also expand their capacity or adopt some better technique in order to produce more quality goods. That’s also another threat for the business. Environment effects are also important one. Awareness is also increasing day by day. Although business has adopted a strategy in order to the effects to the environment but it has to make it fast. 82 KSB Pumps Company Limited Further political situation effect the business a lot, especially the multinational one. Falling price of rupee against dollar, inflation, increase in raw material, shortage in electricity are also threats for the industries. MY WORKING AT KSB Pumps Working at KSB remained a very successful experience for me and it was great experience for me that I worked with such a dynamic firm. Mainly I worked in the Finance & Projects Account Department at head office of the KSB Pumps Lahore Pakistan, however I also visited other departments of the company and also interviewed different people. I think I remained successful in order to grasp the procedures and extract the valuable knowledge. I want to appreciate the efforts and their corporation of KSB staff for their advice and their assistance in helping me to avail this opportunity. I learned a lot from these people. They were much experienced and have a great command in their own work & on policy of KSB. Mainly I worked in the following tasks: 1. Preparation of Landed Cost for Imports The cost which is incurred on the imports of raw material from the premises of exporter up to the premises of KSB is called landed cost. During my internship in KSB I learned how to prepare landed cost for the import of Pumps (Raw Material). I prepared landed cost in excel sheet with the help of different documents as Purchase Order, GRN (Goods Receipt Note), Sales Invoice, LC (Letter of Credit) and Insurance Documents etc. I calculated taxes and excise duties with the help of their rates which were imposed during transit to find the landed cost. 83 KSB Pumps Company Limited 2. Vendor Clearance KSB Pumps purchases material from customers and make the payments at the end of the month. The process in which outstanding balances of the vendors are cleared is called vendor clearance. I worked on vendor clearance and calculated outstanding balances of vendors after deducting discounts and withholding taxes. 3. Import Cost Analysis My supervisor assigned me task to analyze the impost cost of different purchase orders. I analyzed these costs by making a comparison between the costs of different purchase orders of the last year with cost of the recent year. I identified differences between these costs and concluded that, exchange rates were the main reason for these differences. 4. Reconciliation of Bank Statement During my internship period I learned how to reconcile the bank statement with company records. Reconciliation was a lengthy and difficult process. I learned how to identify differences and how to resolve them. 5. Management of Sales Tax and WHT (With Holding Tax) During my internship at KSB Pumps, I learned how to calculate and check the sales tax and WHT (with holding tax) on different sales and purchase orders. Many times I identified errors which were found by me during the rechecking of calculation of sales tax and WHT. I conveyed these errors to my supervisor to rectify them. 6. Creation of Master Data for New Customers When a new customers enters in the organization, his master data is created in Comet for further usage. Master data contains the name, address, phone number, email, fax and NTN of the customer. It also contains the fixed foreign currency rates, sales tax rates on different items and tax exemptions on different items. I entered the master data of many new customers in Comet software. 84 KSB Pumps Company Limited 7. Updating Foreign Exchange Rates in Comet Many times I updated the exchange rates in comet. In KSB, foreign exchange rates were updated in system on daily basis so that the transactions which take place on a day can be settled on that specific day exchange rates. An email comes to all relevant persons who need exchange rates. The email contains the exchange rates of all foreign currencies in which KSB Pumps is dealing. 8. Process of Petty Payments During my internship period I learned how to make petty cash payments for small expenses such as, transportation, employee funeral expenses and cash withdrawal for cash office. I also learned how to make entries of these petty payments in comet software. Amounts mentioned on these bills were checked correctly and the vouchers which were prepared for these bills were checked and signed by three different persons. 9. Payments of Interest to Customers on Their Securities I learned that when a customer enters in KSB Pumps Business, he is asked to pay some amount of money in the shape of security deposit. The purpose of this security deposit is to reduce the fear of bad debts. If a customer purchases goods on credit basis and did not pay the cash on specified date, the losses which occurred can be recovered from his security deposit. KSB Pumps deposits these securities in bank in the shape of fixed deposits. KSB earns interest on these deposits and pays to customers. I calculated the interest for customers on their securities and adjusted their securities balances if they were increased or decreased during the period. 10. Purchase Process During my stay in KSB, I was briefed about the purchase process that is adopted by the KSB Pumps. I learned how a purchase order takes place and how KSB imports goods according to that specific purchase order. I practically examined the documents which were necessary for a purchase order. 85 KSB Pumps Company Limited 11. Management of Record In KSB I was given a task to check the files and arrange them according to purchase order number. I examined 32 files and arranged them according to LC number and purchase order number. I attached all the documents of a specific purchase order number at one place and arranged all the purchase orders. I prepared the stickers for those files which contains their PO numbers and LC numbers. I asked the binder to bind the files according to the stickers in a sequence. I identified many documents which were missing for many purchase orders and conveyed to my supervisor. 12. Preparation of Cheques I prepared cheques for salary of customers and for welfare program of customers. Skills Acquired by Me COMET Usage Skills During my internship period, many times I worked in Comet software. I updated the exchange rates in Comet, created master data for the customers. Some entries were made by me in comet. I have an overview of all the comet software. Excel Skills I acquired many excel skills during my internship. I prepared many excel sheets in Microsoft excel. I learnt many excel formulas which are frequently used in office work. Time Management I learned how to manage my time. I was explained how to manage the objectives with the help of important, unimportant, urgent and un urgent quadrant. I learned how to use my time in efficient manner. 86 KSB Pumps Company Limited Work Environment I observed the work environment of an organization. I observed how employees cooperate with each other in time of need. Confidentiality was an important factor; I observed how auditors were satisfied without losing the confidentiality of the company. Conclusion Overall, in recent past the company has steady growth over the years. There are enough skilled and qualified personnel to make sure that the company does not lag behind in any way. The products and services of the company have gained confidence of the customers as having brand investment of more than 50 years. The internal environment of the company is also quite work-friendly and there is a lot of cooperation among the employees. The departments work in close coordination with each other and thus have maintained the goodwill of the company. Employees and customers are the assets of any organization and KSB has maintained good and strong relations with them. Concluding the report, I would add that it was a great learning experience. The people I have worked with have made my first practical experience quite educating and informative. They happened to be quite professional and had great expertise at their jobs. They have made me comprehend things and analyze them in a better way. It has been a memorable working experience and KSB has let me learn a number of significant practical things. KSB provides a number of opportunities for those who are stepping into the practical life and I am glad to have been a part of it. 87 KSB Pumps Company Limited RECOMMENDATIONS Following recommendations are based on my observation during my internship at KSB Pumps and some have been given during formal and informal interview with the employees. Although KSB Pumps is offering a lot of incentives to its employees in case of salary and benefits. However there is a clear different in facilities of permanent and contract employees. For example in department I worked, finance officers were on contract basis and there was more burden of work on them while they were getting only the basis salary. Facilities like medical allowance, Pension, Gratuity; Provident Fund is not for the contract employees. This creates a lot of dissatisfaction among the employees. Pay increment of people should be according to the work and duties they perform. In some cases it does not happen and pay is not increased according to seniority and work base. For example, during my stay at KSB Pumps pay was increased and clerk handling the most work was awarded 20% increment while other was awarded 40% increment although his work was less and duties were easy one as compared to first one. Procurement department is very important department of any company and production depends a lot on purchased of timely raw material, plant equipment and other supplies. Sometimes the purchase staff make himself painful when the payments are not made on time. Consumer Services Department but couldn’t get what and where it is. Well the name suggests that it should be most visible and active department, I wonder if it is there. If it is there it should be organized at a larger scale and efforts should be made to interact more frequently and at a personal level with the consumers. 88 KSB Pumps Company Limited Though the company is on its good pace but there is always a room for improvement and high standard settings. In this short span of time I have seen good integration approach among all departments. However, more target orientation should be imparted in the employee as they being a strong and vital asset of the company. More focus should be given on employee satisfaction to help strengthen the value chain between customers and the company. Moreover the reporting system can be made more effective and efficient by deploying SAP into the organization followed by proper training of the employees. Last of all I must THANK KSB Pumps and HAILEY COLLEGE OF COMMERCE once again for providing me the golden opportunity of spending 6 weeks in such a wonderful place where most people can only dream of it.
