                                      Surmad Umar

Dedicated to my
Parents and teachers
Who always help me and care me.

   ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
 Person is not a perfect in all the contexts of his life. He has a limited mind and mind thinking approaches. It is the guidance from the almighty Allah that shows the man light in the darkness and the person finds his way in this light. Without this helping light, person is nothing but a helpless creation.
The teaching of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) were also the continuous source of guidance for us especially his order of getting knowledge and fulfilling once duty honestly was key motivation force for us.
           I am very grateful to Almighty Allah who permitted me to be trained in a real world organization, KAPCO, as well as to complete this report in a very limited time. I am also very grateful to every person of kapco staff. 
                                  PREFACE.
 It is difficult to understand fully the real-life applications and challenges solely through textbooks and lectures. The success of today’s professional life hinge on realizing the importance of a specific region’s demographic, cultural, organizational and political characteristics, knowledge that is best learned through experience and cultural immersion. D G khan campus Internship Program gave me the opportunity to study the bookish concepts in a very different type of classroom. In particular, the internship gave me the opportunity to explore my interest in researching the business activates of KOT ADDU Power Company. My six week internship taught me more about financial activities than I could have possibly ever learned in a traditional classroom. Things are really difficult in practical life and to meet the requirements of this practical aspect my internship will help me a lot.

 Introduction
KAPCO is the largest Independent Power Producer (IPP) having the largest Combined Cycle Power Plant in Pakistan with total capacity of 1600 MW.  The plant is located in KOT ADDU; district Muzaffargarh on 180 acres of land. A further 200 acres are covered by the residential colony which comprises of over 900 houses, a ten bed hospital, staff and officer’s recreational facilities, two shopping centers, a bachelor hostel, three guest houses, two schools with over 1,400 students and three mosques
History
KAPCO is the first industrial privatization in Pakistan and came into being on 27th of June 1996 under an agreement between the Government of Pakistan, National Power – the UK’s largest power company (Now called “International Power”) and the Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA). 
The company has the solid background of profits and efficiency catering to the 7 % energy requirements of the country with a share of 29 % in the total power generation of IPPs in Pakistan. In theory the tariff structure of every IPP is such that its shareholders are guaranteed a fixed return, assuming they meet certain conditions set in Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Wapda. KAPCO has a three way relation with WAPDA. All at the same time, Wapda is its customer, lender as well as shareholder.
Initial Public Offering (IPO):
Privatization Commission of Pakistan has offered 20 % shares to Resident / Non-resident Pakistani Investors and the transferred KAPCO employees
Location
The Power Plant is situated in District Muzaffargarh, Punjab, 90 K.M. north west of Multan on the left bank of the River Indus at a distance of 16 K.M. from Taunsa Barrage. The area is surrounded by agricultural land on the north and west side of Kot Addu.

On June 27, 1996, following international competitive bidding by the Privatization Commission Government of Pakistan (the "Privatization Commission"), the management of KAPCO was transferred to National Power (now International Power) of the United Kingdom, which acting through its subsidiary National Power (KOT ADDU) Limited ("NPKAL"), bought shares representing a 26% stake in KAPCO. Later, NPKAL bought a further 10% shareholding in KAPCO increasing its total shareholding to 36%The other majority shareholder in KAPCO is WAPDA with a present
shareholding of 46%...Following the successful completion of the Offer for Sale by the
Privatization Commission (on behalf of WAPDA) in February 2005, 18% of Mapco’s shareholding is now held by the General Public. On April 18, 2005 KAPCO was formally listed on all three Stock Exchanges of Pakistan.
MANAGEMENT FUNCATION




            Finance department

VOUCHING
Very first and an important function of finance department is recording the business transactions on vouchers. This is also called process of vouching. This is made for internal record keeping. Auditors specifically audit vouchers. Wrong vouching will lead to error in the system and ultimately create problems.
From vouchers information is recorded in daybook and cashbook. As each voucher along with its invoice, PO and other necessary documents are kept in the record room so daybook is one that can give information about parties DR and name of account CR along with amount.

LEDGER

In order to see accounts in condense form ledger is used. From daybook all the entries are posted in ledger. Ledger represents DR or CR balance of each party. So from ledger we can see amount that is to be paid to a party or the amount that is to be received and the balance at the end of the month.
TRIAL BALANCE

After this all the DR balances and CR balances of all the parties are posted in trial balance. The trial balance must be equal at both sides. Otherwise there is any error in recording the transactions.
Now trial balance becomes the source of profit and loss and balance sheet.

This department also designs the accounting policies. All the work in this department is being take place on accrual basis.
The department prepares trial balance at the end of every three months and Profit and loss accounts and balance sheet are prepared at the end of year. The financial year ends on june30 of each year. The financial statements are presented to shareholders.

                                            SWOT Analysis
Strengths

  • Kapco has the hardworking, cooperative and trained staff. As well as very friendly environment.
  • The turnover ratio is very low because it is offering best packages to its employees.
  • The HR dept is working for the increasing communication and computer skills of lower staff.
  • All manual procedures have been computerized.
  • Modern software’s are in use for quick and efficient system

  • The price of the share of the kapco is always high than the price of share issue 1st time.
  • It has the biggest store in Pakistan.
  • Easy access to the top management

§  Weaknesses
  • As the wapda is the only buyer of electricity so the company is bound to give supply according to the choice of wapda.
  • After 2006 it is paying taxes while the 1st ten years it was exempt from this.
  • During the last ten years no expansion has been made for power generation.
  • The fear of inquiries is always there as the new government has changed the some points of power purchase agreement.
  • Opportunities:
§  All the expansion programs of KAPCO is free of tax.
§  As the whole country is facing the problem of electricity the importance of this power plant has much increased and it is effecting its share price.
Threats:
  • As the wapda is the only buyer of the electricity in Pakistan and company is bound to sale electricity to wapda, so it is totally depending on wapda for payments.
  • The kapco has to import the machinery and spare parts as well as the services of experts from abroad so the security conditions in Pakistan is very important.
  • In Pakistan, Several other projects are coming up in power generation. So Kapco management will face numeral challenges in technical workforce, because new competitors will offer better packages.
