Punctuality the first and foremost things which is essential for a professional at work i.e. punctuality and the very first thing I have learnt in SSGC i.e. previously I have heard that famous quotation which goes like that late comer must suffer I did not know in terms of what he may suffer. At SSGC I saw its practical exhibition in terms of not paying the attention of BOSS or he may not learn as he can for his slackness for being late, SSGC made me punctual and made me realized that TIME IS MONEY.
Leading & Becoming Effective Team Player:

In order to purchase an asset, fixed asset requisition (FAR) is required to be filed by concerned department, which should be approved by the head of that department. FAR contains details of assets required by the department. The FAR is then forwarded to Material Management department, where Deputy Manager checks whether the FAR falls within the budget or not. If the amount for the required asset is available in the budget then the Material Management department invites quotations through tender (if not available in store) and on the basis of commercial and technical evaluation and lowest bidders, a supplier is selected (all such procedures documented in Evaluation Report) and then Purchase order (PO) is prepared and sent to supplier.

In the certain situation we call for making adjustments e.g. transfer of an asset from one unit to another, different between assets in books and its physical existence etc.

Enter manual journal entries, including: Standard journal entries Foreign and dual currency journal entries Statistical journal entries Intercompany journal entries 3. Import journals from subledgers. If you encounter an error when trying to import a subledger journal, you can correct the import data and rerun journal import. 4. Define recurring journal formulas for transactions that have a common format or that you enter frequently. You can also create recurring journal formulas to create allocation entries. You can use recurring journals to create three types of journal entries: Skeleton entries affect the same accounts each period, but have different posting amounts. Standard recurring journal entries use the same accounts and amounts each period. Formula entries use formulas to calculate journal amounts that vary from period to period. 5. Define MassAllocation formulas to allocate a cost pool across a group of departments, companies, etc.
6. Generate recurring journal and MassAllocation journal batches based on formulas you defined. 7. Review the details of your unposted journal batches. To view and optionally change unposted journal batches online, use the Enter Journals window. To view unposted journal batch detail online, use the Journal Inquiry window. To print a report showing unposted batch detail, produce a Journals - General report (set the Posting Status parameter to unposted). 8. Edit unposted journals to change information about an unposted batch or its journal detail, including the batch period and the journal currency. 9. Post your journal batches manually or automatically. 10. Check for posting errors. General Ledger automatically produces a Posting Execution Report so you can check the results of your posting.

RECOMMENDATION & SUGGESTIONS

Page 24 of 95

SSGC is playing a leading role in the energy sector of Pakistan and is on its track of meeting its strategic goals and objectives. Over the past 50 years, the company has made momentous progress and has brought the fruits of clean, low cost and environment friendly natural gas within the reach of over 1.9 million domestic, commercial and industrial customers all over Sindh and Baluchistan. As a result, the company has emerged as a leading fully integrated utility company that continues to play a major role in fuelling national progress. Following are the recommendations: 1.
ment Issues:
Manage
During my internship, I observed that the contract employees are unfairly treated poorly motivated because of their dissatisfaction with pay and working conditions. The salaries of the contract employees are very low as compare to amount of work performed by them. Contract employees should given a chance to work on career basis.
Lack of Training:
There is lack of training in some departments which create problem for employees to work on the ERP system.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that training should be given to each employee periodically. Sufficient training of the human resource is very important, so they would become acquainted and proficient with the ERP system that is implemented. SSGC needs to address various kinds of issues like some employees are under-valued, some are under-trained, and some may be under utilized. Similarly some may be poorly motivated and consequently perform well below their true capability.
Delay in Bills Payment in Local Order Section:

2.
ISSUE:
It is observed that in Local Order (LO) Section payment of bills are delayed due to inefficiency of employees and no check and balance system is there. Some times Receiving Statement comes late from stores because of in efficiency of the stores departments. And sometimes some bills are processed first because of favoritism.
Recommendation:
The payment of invoices should be paid on first come, first out basis. Proper time frame should be followed for the payment of the bills i.e. 15 days after the delivery date of material to maintain the trust of suppliers on the company.
INTERNSHIP REPORT
Page 24 of 95
3.
hip Program:
Stipend issue:
Interns
Company policy for MBA/BBA internees is rather unfair. Some of the internees are paid stipend while some of them are not. This creates question in the mind of internees about company policy for internees. Company should have a same policy for all internees i.e. all internees should be paid stipend equitably.
Issue:
During my internship, I interact with many employees. Some of the employees of finance department of some sections are very cooperative while employees of some sections are non-cooperative like GL section.
Recommendation:
In my opinion the objective of any internship program should be to facilitate the learning of the internee, provide an environment where he/she could implement and observe the practicality of the theories learned. If proper documentations are maintained then it may help in the understanding of the internees of the business processes as well as decrease the amount of interaction with employee. Section incharge of each department should be directed to cooperate with internees.
