1. Introduction of Pakistan Television

1.1 Introduction

Pakistan entered into Television Broadcasting era with a small pilot TV Station established at Lahore from where

transmission was first beamed in Black & White with consequence from 26 November 1964. Television centers were

established in Karachi and Rawalpindi/Islamabad in 1967 and in Peshawar and Quetta in 1974.

Page 2: PTV Report

While introducing the sophisticated branch of the electronic media in the country, the extensive viewpoint kept in

mind was to inform and educate the people through nutritious entertainment and to inculcate in them a greater

consciousness of their own history, tradition, recent harms and expansion as well as knowledge of the world at

large.

When PTV came into existence in 1964, there was a staff of 30 workers, which has now risen to more than 6000

persons at all Units of the Corporation. The employees of PTV are separated into 09 groups and every group has a

separate pay scale.

PTV, the national broadcasting corporation had been in horrible straits and constantly declining for many years.

Losses had been incurred, income from all spheres was restricted, viewer ship had reduced and the overall morale of

the institution was in shambles.

The conscientiousness of PTV and continued efforts has resulted in enhanced and imaginative programming with

significant changes in presentation style. The promotion of programmes has been totally been revamped in lieu of

improved re-packaging and tailor made programming along with thrilled marketing strategy.PTVs attempt for

initiative has surfaced with a number of milestones of particular significance. Deserving special mention here are

the daily programs of Tilawat & Tarjuma of the Holy Quran; programmes highlighting the cause of Kashmir.

Page 3: PTV Report

PTV World, a new satellite channel was launched in the face of tough international competition. The purpose of

providing a homely atmosphere to family viewers has been well achieved. The audience driven programmes have

given PTV a new look and dramatically changed the views about Ptv. PTV has surged ahead of its competitors and

as such PTV-2 has been turned into a viable project. Generation of more than Rs 56 million within a span of five

months of the implementation of the new idea speaks of this unparalleled achievement.

Technical improvement of PTV is evident from the change in screen presentation. The public has greatly appreciated

this cosmetic transformation not only in programmes but also in News & Current Affairs. Recent usage of Computer

Technology to facilitate the generation of virtual sets is a significant landmark in the history of PTV.

On the other hand active participatory programmers have supplemented the authenticity of Current Affairs

programmers and generated a lot of public interest. Live Open Forum;  PTV has taken a lead over its contemporaries

by introducing Audio-Text and Tele-text services in the region. The live cricket and hockey quizzes and the recently

held PTV Awards are few examples of mass public participation through Audio text. Availability of on-line Flight

Information, live surge and fall of

stock exchanges, news updates etc. on normal home TV sets are few references of Teletext application

6.1 Accounting System of Pakistan Television

6.1.1 Salient Features of Accounting System

Accounting system of PTV is very well managed and organized, keeping a strong internal control on each and every dealing

irrespective of fact whether is involved in it or not.

Like all other big organizations, PTV also uses “DOUBLE ENTRY SYSTEM” for keeping its books of accounts.

The accounting period starts from 1st July and ends on 30th June.

The accounting system is partially manual and computer based. The all-supporting documents relating to voucher and voucher

it is prepared manually, duly approved by the concerned authority manually, and rest of all system is computerized.

The main books of accounts such as bank book, trade debtors book, payable book, accrued and receivables books are

maintained on accounting software specially designed in accordance with increasing number of transactions.

Most of books of accounts kept on computerized system are managed through special programmers on C++ .

Page 39: PTV Report

Due to the fact very large number of accounts is daily affected by each transaction; ledgers are further divided in to subsidiary

legers also for the sake of convenience and proper check over the whole system.

Main ledgers and subsidiary ledgers assigned codes and sub codes respectively. These codes and sub codes, accordingly

entered in vouchers and other books affected by transaction involving these heads.

One of main legers and its sub-ledgers along with their coding scheme is as follows

Salary 1600

Bonuses 1601

Contribution to provident fund 1602

Contribution to pension 1603

Contribution to Govt fund 1604

Medical 1605

Accommodation 1606

Conveyance 1607

Education fee 1608

Page 40: PTV Report

Thus a special coded is assigned to the main head or ledger and sub ledger are therefore continued in systematic manner in accordance

with the original scheme of main code.

Each center submits its financial statements and progress reports monthly to the head quarter where it is consolidated to review

the over all performance.

Master trial balance is prepared on monthly basis, to check the arithmetical accuracy and consensus for each and every

account, before the preparation of final trial balance.

For every expense irrespective of its amount, budget is allocated for it in the beginning of each month in the light of past

experience for it.

6.2 Accounting System

The whole accounting system of PTV is constituted of following processes successfully carried out to operate the whole organization.

Page 41: PTV Report

6.3 Voucher

Written evidence of a financial transaction is called voucher” Basic idea for the voucher is that every transaction that will result in

cash payment or receipt must be verified, approved in writing and recorded before a cheque is issued.

Voucher for each and every transaction is prepared regardless of fact whether the transaction is for payment of an expense, purchase

of an asset, payment of a liability and receipt of revenue.

Different types of vouchers used in accounting system of PTV are,

Debit vouchers.

o Petty cash vouchers.

o Bank payment vouchers.

Credit vouchers.

Journal vouchers ( J V )

The most important feature of voucher is that it serves as a “JOURNAL ENTRY” for the initialization of accounting cycle.

Voucher credit or debit, as the case may be, represents an approved and authentic business transaction, itself containing the respective

debit and credit charge on ledgers and sub ledgers along with amounts, there on.

Page 42: PTV Report

6.3.1 Use of Different Vouchers

PTV has categorized each voucher, for different operations, based upon the receipt of cash whether inside or outside the organization,

and internal adjustments.

VOUCHER

Debit Voucher Credit Voucher

Bank Payment Voucher

Petty Cash Voucher

Journal Voucher

Page 43: PTV Report

Different vouchers are printed in different colors, to make dealing and categorization of them an easy process. For example,

6.3.2 Preparation of Vouchers

Vouchers are prepared as a first step towards making a financial transaction a part of books of accounts.

Preparation of voucher involves a series of approval from each level of designation, depending on nature and amount of transaction.

Vouchers are not acceptable at any stage unless and until all the concerned authorities and officers have given it approval.

Following are the limits for approval of voucher, depending on amount represented by it.

Below Rs10, 000 must be approved by Assistant Accounts Officer.

Page 44: PTV Report

6.3.3Process for Preparation of Debit Voucher

Debit vouchers are prepared for the transactions involving “outflow” of cash or in other words all transactions relating to the payment

of case are recorded in “debit voucher”.

Example

If the organization needs to purchase an asset, it is not simply recorded in relevant ledger as debit resulting credit of cash; rather it

involves the following systematic series of steps to bring the above changes.

Purchase Requisition: The concerned department or unit needing any kind of asset would submit “purchase requisition” to the

administration department.

Pre- Audit: P ersonnel in administration department after verifying the need of particular department would send it for pre-audit, to

confirm whether a budget for such purchase is sufficient or not.

6.3.5 Petty Cash and Preparation of Its Vouchers

Petty cash is the amount of cash kept on hand for the purpose of making small incidental expenditures for which issuing a cheque

would not be practical.

Writing and casting voucher payable to petty cash establish a petty cash fund.

The money is given to the designated custodian, who is responsible for making disbursements from the fund.

For each cash payment from the fund a petty cash voucher is prepared and placed in the fund. When the fund runs low, it is

replenished by a check for the amount of vouchers in the fund.

In PTV cooperation, petty cash in all departments are kept and recorded through “Imprest System”.

Voucher is prepared to record replenishing the fund includes “Dr” and various expense accounts for the amount indicated there on.

Different limits regarding the imprest money of various departments are,

7. Critical Analysis

Page 53: PTV Report

7.1 Swot Analysis

SWOT analysis is method that helps the management to identify their organization

Strengths (S)

Weaknesses (w)

Opportunities (O)

Threats (T)

In the light of our study the SWOT analysis of accounts and finance departments of PTV Corporation is as follows

7.1.1 Strengths

Accounts and finance department owns valuable assets of employees who are diligent and determined.

Although itself different department of PTV in Islamabad centre are not so good but the accounts and finance departments

is the only one to achieve its goals.

All the employees working are highly skilled, experienced and competitive, knowing and cooping with the all current

needs of 21st century

The coordination among different sections of finance departments is highly appreciated.

The innovation and novel ideas of employees has brought many positive changes in the current structure of the department

and they are still struggling for its improvement.

Page 54: PTV Report

The technology used for maintaining the books of accounts and the preparations of financial statements is updated

according to the ever changing needs of its operations.

The depreciation method used for depreciating the fixed assets is diminishing balance method which is the most

appropriate one not only involving less complexities but also much flexible then any other method.

The strong internal control system of accounts departments has made its operations considerably satisfactory

Proper check at each level of accounting system has minimized the chances of manipulation of accounts and embezzlement

of cash.

Apart from manual system which is applicable up to preparation of vouchers, the use of special computer programs has

made the accounting system less time consuming.

Teaming and coordination between different departments has made the wastage of resources very low.

Continuous audit has made successful moral check over the employees

7.1.2 Weaknesses:

Like all the other private channels where the accounts are kept on fully computerized system, the finance department of

this organization till yet has not made its whole accounting system fully computerized.

Page 55: PTV Report

The realization principle stated that “Revenue must be recorded in books of accounts for the period in which it is earned”,

but the license fee in this organization is recorded at the time when actual cash payment is received regardless of the fact to

which period it actually relates.

The communication gap between controller finance and other employees may be discouraging many ideas at initial level.

Apart from strong internal control manual dealing and preparation of voucher has increased the chances of fraud.

All the departments are not linked through the networking resulting in delayed decision which actually requires quick

actions.

No rewards and incentives are offered to the efficient employees for the encouragement.

The past accounting record has no proper backup and is now serving food for termites.

Due to lenient policies regarding payment of due amounts have now started increasing the amount of uncollectible.

7.1.3 Opportunities:

If PTV makes their accounting system fully computerized then they would be able to eliminate the flaws in the current

accounting system.

They can use simple method of depreciation in order to save time and effort.

The can increase sale through improved advertising.

Page 56: PTV Report

7.1.4 Threats:

Due to the manual dealing of voucher there is a threat of frauds.

As there is no backup of their past accounting records they are a threat that they might lose all of their data.

7.2 PEST ANALYSIS

7.2.1 Political

PTV is the semi-autonomous body and ministry of information has 100% share in it. Hence all the government policies are

implemented in his rules. PTV cannot engage best personnel including anchor persons available in the market who has

qualified from renowned educational institutions.

In Pakistan television due to the government structure and centralized structure employees are always misinterpreted by some

bedevil in government institution. Flow of information is not fast as the private organization has.

7.2.2 Economical

Pakistan with a population of about 17 million people has undergone a remarkable macro economic growth during last few

years, but the core problems of the economy are still unsolved. Inflation is one of these core problems.

Page 57: PTV Report

Pakistan has formulated sound macroeconomic policies that will help the Pakistani economy to grow stronger but the recent

political violence and uncertainties could slow down the growth.

PTV Home is one of the top powerful entertainment channels as per Gallup and people’s meter report and it has a big market

share

7.2.3Social

Society’s values are changing very fast and people want to get up-to-date knowledge about the current affairs and PTV is not

able to fulfill the demands of the people.

It shows adds free of cost regarding missing persons, blood donations etc which is one of the major responsibility undertaken

by PTV.

One of the major social advantages of PTV is that it promotes the true color of the Pakistani culture.

PTV is currently showing very traditional programs which are not liked by new generation. Instead other private channels are

trying to fulfill this gap.

7.2.4 Technological

Pakistan television is not going in a past as the other private channels are competing with each others in an Information

Technology. But now there are very keen about the Information Technology system and adopting the trend of today’s media.

Page 58: PTV Report

Information Ministry signed a contract with their long live friend China in which they provide new technical equipment and

machinery to Pakistan Television and give Technical assistant to the Pakistan Television.

Now PTV is providing most of its programs live to its viewers and trying to compete with other private channels.

7.3.3 Vertical and Horizontal Analysis

In addition to financial ratio analysis, it is often useful to express balance sheet and income statement items as percentage.

In vertical analysis, it is expressed the various components of a balance sheet as percentage of the total asset of the company and in

income statement all components as percentage of net sales. The expression of single item of financial statement as percentage of total

helps the analyst spot trends with respect to the relative importance of that item over time.

In horizontal analysis, all balance sheet or income statement items for a base year consider as 100% and subsequent financial

statement items are expressed as percentage of their values in the base year.

In summary, these two types of analysis are helpful in comprising companies whose data differ significantly in size and every item of

financial statements gets placed on as relative or standardized basis.

7.3.9Ratio Analysis

Ratio analysis is performed using financial ratios, where financial ratio is defined as an index that relates two accounting numbers and

is obtained by dividing one number by the other. It is the tools used to analyze financial condition and performance. Ratios are

calculated to get a comparison that may prove more useful than the raw numbers by themselves. Ratios can be divided into five basic

types; liquidity, activity or asset management, solvency or stability, profitability and market ratios.

Liquidity Ratios

These are the Ratios which measure the short term financial position of the firm and calculated to comment upon the short-term

paying capacity of a concern firm's ability to meet its current obligations. It includes; Current Ratio, Quick Ratio, Cash Ratio, etc.

Page 79: PTV Report

2007 2008 2009

Current Ratio 3.36 3.07 2.70

Quick Ratio 1.89 1.63 1.44

Cash Ratio 0.86 0.49 0.43

Current Ratio (Current Asset / Current Liabilities): It represent cushion available to the creditor or debt paying ability that the firm

has Rs: 3.36, 3.07 and 2.70 of current assets for every Re: 1 current debt in 2007, 2008 and 2009.

Quick Ratio (Liquid Asset / Current Liability): The Ratio is also termed as the asset test ratio or liquid ratio. The liquid asset

determine by deducting the inventories and prepayments from current assets. It measures the firm's capacity to pay off current

obligations immediately, so in 2009 it has Rs: 1.44 for every Re: 1 current debt.

Cash Ratio (Cash / Current Liability): It represent that firm has capacity to pay its current debt in cash, so in 2009 is available Rs:

0.43 for every Re: 1 of current debt.

These ratios show the better liquidity position of PTV, but there is declining trend in these ratios. All ratios higher in 2007 and lower

in 2009, it may be the cause that the increase in current, quick and cash assets is lower than the increase in current liabilities, but still

these ratios are in satisfactory condition.

Page 80: PTV Report

Stability or Solvency Ratios

These ratios measure the contribution of financing by owners as compared to financing by outsider, financing by owner or outsiders

compared with total assets, relation between assets and equity, and different relation among Total Capitalization to Assets, Total

Equity (inside and outside) to Assets, Total Debt (current and non-current) to Assets or Capitalization, for showing the company’s or

firm’s stability or solvency in long term basis. It includes following ratios:

Equity Multiplier (Assets / Equity) and Equity to Assets (Equity / Assets * 100): This ratio shows percentage of total investment in

assets that has been financed by the equity. Equity Multiplier represents that Assets is 4.78times greater than equity in 2009. And in

other words equity is 20.91 % of total assets. From 2007 to 2009 there is decreasing trend; it may be the cause of increasing in

company’s liabilities. (Asset = Liabilities + Equity).

Debt Related Ratios (Debt / Assets), (Debt / Equity),: Ratios shows the extent to which the firm is financed by debt, and represent the

relation among Debt to Asset, Equity and Capitalization etc. e.g. debt to asset ratio shows that the debt is 23.31% of total assets in

2009, and debt to equity ratio shows that if there is a Re: 1 equity then debt is Re: 0.23. All debt related ratios are increasing from

2007 to 2009, it may be the cause that debt is increasing more than other (denominator) factor, and the cause of increasing in debt is

the increase of Pension Payables in non-current liabilities and the increase of Gratuity Payables in current liabilities.

Activity or Asset Management Ratios

These set of ratios use for measuring the firm’s ability to utilize its assets effectively. It is been compare company’s revenues to its

different shapes of assets. In this category following ratios are calculated

Re: 1 of its total assets.

Fixed Asset Turnover (Revenue / Average Fixed Assets): It shows the relation between revenue and fixed assets. So, the firm earns

Rs: 2.44 in 2008 and Rs: 3 in 2009 for every Re: 1 of its fixed assets.

The decrease of in these ratios from 2008 to 2009 may be the result of decrease in revenue in 2009 compare with 2008 and increase in

assets.

Days Revenue Outstanding (Average Trade Debtors *360 / Revenue): This ratio represents that company’s ability to receive revenue

from its customers soon, means how much days take company receiving its outstanding revenue. So, the ratio shows 109 DRO in 2008

and 120.50 DRO in 2009. There is increase in days from 2008 to 2009; it is not a good sign while already company’s DRO is much

higher. The reason of increase may be the decrease in revenue from one year to other

8. Recommendations & Conclusion

Page 85: PTV Report

Recommendations

Authority must be delegated at the lower level through decentralization.

The people should be appointed according to merit rather than political appointees.

New technology should be used for producing and live coverage of different types of programs.

The information which is given on the Pakistan television should be accurate.

Political involvement should be reduced as low as possible.

Innovation and new ideas should always welcomed in the organization

Page 86: PTV Report

The self development plans should be financed; it will encourage the other employees as well as to go for higher studies and

specialists.

PTV corporate level has to think over its overall strategy and set objectives keeping in view the stiff competition of other

private channels.

PTV has to take help from the information technology to improve coordination among the various units/centers for better

output.

PTV should try to depend more on their own productions instead private productions in telecasting the programs.

PTV should also be proactive in making their plans and strategies and provide the environment of team work instead of

bureaucratic.

PTV has to find new areas of the world where its programs should be telecasted and enhance the market value of PTV.

Conclusion

PTV is big organization and it has different departments performing different functions so it is almost impossible to go through all

departments within just 8-weeks. Although my area of concentration was finance division only but this also requires a long period of

time to go through all sub-sections of finance but within this specified I tried to get as much as possible through discussion and doing

practical works.

Page 87: PTV Report

Although PTV is profitable organization but still there is a lot of room for improvement, by following the recommendations PTV can

make a great progress
