Internship is the only way of getting practical knowledge. In the competitive world there is prevailing cutthroat competition among the industries or institutions. Side by side industries or institutions are growing rapidly to the needs of the needs of the people. For this reason different industries or institutions are facing different problems. As a student of accounting we should be conversant with the problem and look for the actual situation of the problems. With this objective all universities have attracted the internship program in curriculum. The teachers of accounting department have included internship in the syllabus. During my internship I have collected information and other report from EXIM Bank Ltd. as per as possible.

Organizational development arose for needs. Conventional training methods
often had limited success for building better organizational behavior, so a
new approach was needed.
The general objective of organizational development is to change all
parts of the organization in order to make it more humanly responsive, more
effective and more capable of self- renewal.
The organizational development process does not preclude the use of
conventional training methods, which are useful for some purposes.
Coaching, lecture and discussion, films and the case method are appropriate
tools for providing and understanding of behavior or developing analytical
skills. Many employees need this type training.
The management of EXIM Bank is also concern about the training for
its development. They believe if the employees will be trained enough they
would contribute more for the development of the Banking business. For this
reason they send some employee for the training in every semester / base.

institution and they are working very smoothly. Usually they send the
employees in the following training institutes:

There may be situation where storage of collateral
in an independently controlled filled where house is
impractical and improper may require the goods for
further processing of for display the merchandise in

institution that has a great degree of trust in the importer
may be willing to release the negotiable bill of landing
and thereby also the good to the importer against the
signing of trust receipt. After the importer has made
his/her final sale and received the proceeds, he/her can
pay the financing institution that he/ she received as
advance.

as the imported goods come to the port the party may fall into financial crisis
and requests the Bank to clear the goods from the port making payment to
the exporter. In this case the party later may take the goods partly or fully
from the Bank by making require payment (if he/ she takes the goods time to
time payment will be adjusted simultaneously).

she needs fund for purchasing goods to be exported. He /she may also
depend upon the bank for arranging credit for the supply of goods.

5.3 Foreign remittance section
� Chapter Two
Asian University of Bangladesh.
Different funds are mobilized from foreign country to our through the
foreign remittance section. Purchase of foreign currencies institutes inward
foreign remittance and sale of foreign currencies constitutes outward foreign
remittance. EXIM Bank has a rich environment where funds flow from
different countries.
The transaction of the authorized dealer in foreign exchange involves
either inward or outward remittances of foreign exchange between the two
countries.
EXIM Bank has authorized dealership. Different branches of EXIM
Bank such as Motijheel branch, panthapat branch etc. are providing the
foreign remittance services to its customers. But EXIM Bank Gazipur
Chowrasta branch has no authorized dealership. For this reason this branch
can not provide the foreign remittance services to its customer. EXIM Banks
foreign remittance facilities include FBC, LFBC purchase and sale of FCY,
FTT, and traveler's cheque, FBP.
5.3.1 way of transferring the funds
� NOSTRO Account.
� VOSTRO Account.
� LORO Account.
Nostro Account An Account of the branch named which in a multinational Bank for
the transferring of the fund called NOSTRO Account.

Asian University of Bangladesh.
VOSTRO Account is the opposite of NOSTRO Account where a
multinational Bank maintains account in the local Bank to meet the
requirements of sending fund.
5.3.2 Remittance Procedure of Foreign Currency
There are two types of remittance:
� Inward remittance.
� Outward remittance.
Inward remittance Inward remittance can be divided into different types. These
remittance procedures are describe in the following:

the draft holder is to fill up from- C Where the draft holder is to fill up who
has send this draft, from where this draft has been sent etc. whether family
purpose then no VAT is required against the draft. For payment of draft of
concerned officer maintains a register which is called register for foreign
currency paid.

one country to another. The person who wants to send TT to the abroad at

Outward remittance Outward remittance includes sales of TC and FC notes etc.
Sales of TC and FC notes:

application form. Filling up the required column, which is formatted by the
Bank, is called T/M form. After checking up the from the desk officer passes

cases the Bank endorse total amount in customer's passport. The Bankers

10. What is your suggestion to improve the service quality of EXIM Bank of Bangladesh Ltd.
In order to improve the service quality customers
expressed different opinion in their point of view. I can
summarize their opinion, which is the gist of their
suggestions. They have of take some more steps to
improve the service quality. Each department of the
� Chapter Two
Asian University of Bangladesh.
Banks should computerized the cash transaction process
would be easier and very prompt that it would take a
very short time. More branches should be opened in
Dhaka City and other cities of he country. They will
have to customer credit scheme and other scheme that
will help the customer. It is badly needed to provide
modern Banking services such as Credit Card, ATM
card, Visa Card etc. EXIM Bank is providing better
service comparing to other private Banks. But there are
almost 52 Bank in our country. In the near future some
new Banks are going to be opened. So, in order to
compete in the market EXIM Bank should be berry
careful about their service. They should increase their
manpower and will have to improve their service quality
and provide more facilities.
6.1.2 Findings in different sections of the Bank:
I found that all the sections of the Bank are facing
lack of manpower as a general problem.
� Chapter Two
Asian University of Bangladesh.
General Banking department: � In general Banking department they follow the traditional banking
system. The entire general Banking procedure is not fully
computerized. As a result some processing for example collecting
money from the deposit take a long time to perform.
� The cash counter I thing is congested and the procedure is also
traditional.
� There is no computer in Accounts Opening Section and Remittance
section. That's why the service is not prompt as the customer's
demand.
� Lack of variety of services is also a drawback of the general Banking
area of the EXIM Bank of Bangladesh Ltd. The Bank provides only
some traditional limited services to its client. As result Bank is falling
behind in competition.
� They are not using database net working in Information Technology
(IT) department. So, they have to transfer date from branch to branch
to head officer by using floppy disk and sure it is not good system.
� In case of opening an account some big parties come to open accounts
in reference with the high officials of the Bank. They do not submit all
papers that required opening an account. I think in this case the
authority is violating the rules.
� According to some clients opinion introducer is one of the problems
to open an account. If a person who is new in the city wants to open
an account, it is a problem for him/ her to arrange an introducer of SB
or CD accounts holder.
� Chapter Two
Asian University of Bangladesh.
Loan and advances department:
� Political influence is one of the major problems in Bangladesh. Due to
political intervention the Bank becomes obliged to provide loans in
most of the cases, which are rarely recovered. Bank has to face this
inconvenience situation almost every year.
� The loans and advances department takers a long time to process a
loan because the process of sanctioning loan is done manually.
� Sometimes the securities taken against the loan are deliberately
overvalues by the employee to unlawfully help the client. As a result,
if the client fails to repay the Bank authority can't collect even the
principal money invested by the selling those assts. It is also a very
important factor that leads to loan default.
� CIB report is not readily available from Bangladesh bank.
Foreign exchange department: � In Foreign Exchange department it is required to communicate with
foreign Banks frequently and quickly. To make the process easily
modern communication media for example E-mail, Fax and win Fax,
Internet etc. should be used. But the Bank has not so much practices
using these media.
� Modern technical equi9pment such as computer is not sufficient in
foreign exchange department. As a result the exchange process make
delay and it is also complicated.
6.2 Recommendations:
� Chapter Two
Asian University of Bangladesh.
� Banking is a service-oriented marketing. Its business profit depends
on its service quality. That's why the authority always should be aware
about their service quality.
� To provide service to the customer it is necessary to have a trained
team of an organization of an institution. For this reason the Bank
should recruit more fresh, bright and energetic persons. In this case
the Bank can consider MB, BBA, MBM and etc.
� The Bank has a provision for internship program, but it is not well
organized. Although the officials are very careful and co-operative
with the interns, the authority should be more structured. If they can
properly make them trained it will be very fruitful to recruit them.
Because they learn overall Banking in the internship period, so in the
beginning of the job they can work as experienced persons. It is also
very important that they should give an honorarium to the intern.
� Bank should offer Bank is launching 'Customer Credit scheme' EXIM
Bank is failing to launch this kind of scheme. The management can
undertake such sort of schemes and earn more profit.
� As soon as possible the Bank should start more benches in Dhaka
City as well as the other cities of the country.
� Now a days world is going very fast. Now most of the Bank opens
online customer service system. So, in order to compete in the world
market they should adopt online Banking system.
� The Bank should attempt to enter into the share market by issuing
share to capitalize more money and invest thereafter by expanding the
number of barnacles around the city.
� One of the business strategies is promotion. Successful business
depends how they can promote their products of services to the
� Chapter Two
Asian University of Bangladesh.
customer. In this connection to improve the business bank should
introduce more promotional programs.
� The recruitment process of the Bank is very lengthy an expensive. The
bank should select the employee by reducing the lengthy process.
� In general Banking department it is necessary to implement modern
Banking process instead of traditional system. The department should
be more computerized.
� In addition with the present services they should include more
services. It is badly needed to provide more services to the customer
in order to compete in the market.
� Data base net working is the most modern technology to transfer data
from branch to branch or branch to head office and vice versa. So,
they must use this technology in Information Technology (IT)
department of the Bank.
� All the clients are not in favor of introducing system, if possible the
rule of introducing to pen an account should be changed. Because
many people face in problem to arrange an introducer in the time of
opening accounts.
� The loan sanction process should be easier that the clients can feel
convenient to take loan from the Bank.
� To make exchange process more prompt the authority should use
modern communication system such as E-mail, Fax, win Fax, Internet
etc.
� The branches of the Bank facing the problem of shortage of
manpower. So, the authority should take immediate action to solve the
problem.

���� Conclusion
� Chapter Two
Asian University of Bangladesh.
Conclusion: Export Import Bank of Bangladesh Limited is a third- generation private commercial bank in the country with commendable operating performance Directed by the mission to provide prompt and efficient services to clients, EXIM Bank has successfully celebrated its Ten years of operation. It provides a wide rage of commercial banking services EXIM Bank has a achieved success among its peer group within a short span of time with its professional and dedicated team of management having long experience, commendable knowledge and expertise in conversion with modern banking. With all its resources, the management of the Bank firmly believes that the bank would be able to encounter problem that may arise both at micro and macro economic levels. The Management of the Bank is maintaining an efficient portfolio in order to have a healthy growth and retain customer satisfaction. EXIM Bank is engaged in modern banking. It is expected that EXIM Bank by its efficient Asset and liability management will be able to maintain its trend of growth and thus overcome the threat. Neither EXIM Bank nor any other commercial bank can effectively combat risk. However, EXIM Bank having small and targeting niche markets, is likely to be less affected by restrictive monetary and/ or fiscal policy. The Management of the Bank is planning to meet the required capital adequacy withering the stipulated time frame, and a loan and advance policy that expected the loan loss provisioning in future will be within tolerable limit having little material impact on future profitability as well as net worth. A although EXIM Bank is yet to be fully automated the bank has a adequate modern technology to meet its present requirement and it proceeding aggressively to enhance its technology level. As EXIM Bank is performing good in traditional general banking and there is a good demand for Islamic Banking and the opinion of then (The management) that the performance of the Bank is getting much better than past. I wish and hope that in future EXIM Bank will be Number one commercial Bank in Bangladesh.
