EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
“Experience is not what happens to you, it is what you do with what happens to you.”-Aldous Huxley
I judge my time spent at City District Government Gujranwala (Finance Department) as being the
most productive and exhilarating experience of my corporate life. Few of the main highlights of
my work experience while at Finance Department were:
Good Leadership
Congenial Work Atmosphere
Challenging Tasks Assignment
Employee Empowerment
Proactive Problem Resolution
I am proud to have been associated but my true joy emanated from the fact that I had the unique
pleasure of working for CDG, an Organization where I have learnt much and had the chance to
implement my knowledge to solve real time problems. Three factors have been crucial to making
my internship experience a productive and a memorable one:
1. Mentors and Colleagues at Finance Department Gujranwala è I received very good
direction from my Department Lead, Mr. Sohail Ikram Butt and Office Assistant, Mr. Sohail
Rathore and enjoyed immense support from my colleagues. The confidence placed in me was
quite motivating and the lessons learned were rewarding indeed. People in other departments
also have been a big help. To add to this, I am thankful to all the folks I met daily who beamed me
bright smiles that brightened my day.
2. Excellent Tools è I was exposed to some of the cutting edge tools used in the IT
industry including SAP & Office 2007 Suite.
3. Pride è Potent mix of both the above reasons gave me a sense of accomplishment and
pride in my work. I came into the office with a smile, give my 200% and left with a smile. Yet, I
was in no way different than any other person at Finance Department. Employment
4
empowerment can do wonders to the employees and a happy workforce can do wonders to a
company’s bottom-line.
I have learnt a great deal at CDG’s Finance Department. My exposure to various leading
technological tools has enhanced my technical knowledge. My better understanding of corporate
protocols and working environment stems from the fact that I was allowed ample working space
and responsibilities to make my own judgments. Spending time on an internship is an excellent
way to get into gear for the corporate world after months of academics. It allows an individual to
apply new skill sets learned at school and warms up the mind for then coming years of career
ahead.
I would like to conclude by saying that even though every person will have a different
story to tell, the common factor that binds us all is the good work done by our predecessors in the
Virtual University. I have given more than 100% of my efforts to keep up that good work and I am
sure that my colleagues have done the same. I am hopeful that as we pass through the corridors
of this great institution into the real world, this legacy will be kept and upheld by the future
generation of Virtualians.

WHAT IS FINANCE?
Finance studies and addresses the ways in which individuals, businesses, and
organizations raise, allocate, and use monetary resources over time, taking into account
the risks entailed in their projects. The term "finance" may thus incorporate any of the
following:
The study of money and other assets;
The management and control of those assets;
Profiling and managing project risks;
The science of managing money;
As a verb, "to finance" is to provide funds for business or for an individual's large
purchases (car, home, etc.).
The activity of finance is the application of a set of techniques that individuals and
organizations (entities) use to manage their money, particularly the differences between
income and expenditure and the risks of their investments.
An entity whose income exceeds its expenditure can lend or invest the excess income. On
the other hand, an entity whose income is less than its expenditure can raise capital by
borrowing or selling equity claims, decreasing its expenses, or increasing its income. The
lender can find a borrower, a financial intermediary, such as a bank or buy notes or
bonds in the bond market. The lender receives interest, the borrower pays a higher
interest than the lender receives, and the financial intermediary pockets the difference.
21
LOCAL FINANCE
FISCAL DECENTRALIZATION
Under the previous financial system the identification, appraisal and approval of
development projects were centralized, leading to projects that had very little
relationship with the local priorities. The element of community participation was totally
missing. High technology projects were adopted where low-cost technology shall have
been used. The issue of sustainability was overlooked in most cases. Projects were
located where citizens did not want them with the result that they were not used.
The process of allocating funds was non-transparent and inequitable. The District did not
exist as a unit of action and analysis for development. The developmental projects were
undertaken with total disregard to recurring costs. One department would build
infrastructure that another department or level had no political will and/or financial
capacity to run. Infrastructure would be built and then not maintained or poorly
maintained. The system produced contracts, jobs, and money for the benefit of the few. It
did not produce development, no matter how many billions of rupees were spent.
The results are there for all to see. As very substantial percentages of project budgets
went to corruption, all that exists is shoddy infrastructure that is providing highly
deficient services. The economic and social impact of these malpractices is that the
country has some of the lowest economic and social indicators in the world, especially in
22
the areas of education, health and water supply.
This lamentable state of affairs had been due to the causes, which can be easily
identified. Centralization, top-down decision-making and the lack of participation,
transparency, accountability, checks and balances, and responsiveness to citizen’s
demands could be counted as the most glaring factors which contributed to the decline.
All of this could exist because of the concentration of power in the hands of the few
rather than the empowerment of many.
Transforming these deficiencies has provided the basis for the new local government
financial system. The core of the design is the empowerment of local governments and the
constitution of the District/Tehsil/Town and Unions as a unit of analysis and action for
development.
The transformation of the financial systems was envisaged to take place in
two phases. The interim financial system covered the period August 14, 2001 to
June 30, 2002. The final system was implemented from July 2002. The reason for
this was that the new financial system required further work and could not be
finalized by August 14, 2001.

25
Fiscal Transfers from the Provinces
From fiscal year 2002-2003 a transparent, formula-based system determines funds
transfers to local governments. For this purpose as required by the LGO 2001, a
Provincial Finance Commission (PFC) has been established by each Province.
The Finance Commission consists of ten members, including the Chairman as under:
Four ex-officio members , namely:
Provincial minister for Finance;
Secretary to Government, Local Government and Rural Development
Department;
Secretary to Government, Finance Department (as Member/Secretary of the
commission); and
Secretary to Government, Planning & Development Department;
One Zila Nazim, one Tehsil or Town Nazim and one Union Nazim.
Three professional members from the private sector.
A private sector person has been defined as a person, who is not in the service of
Pakistan or any statutory body or any other body, which is owned or controlled by the
Federal Government or the Provincial Government or a local government.
The functions, duties and powers of the Finance Commission are to make
recommendations to the Governor for:
26
a formula for distribution of resources including:
distribution between the Government and the local governments out of the
proceeds of the Provincial Consolidated Fund into a Provincial Retained Amount
and a Provincial Allocable Amount respectively
distribution of the Provincial Allocable Amount amongst the District
Governments, Tehsil and Town Municipal Administrations and the Union
Administrations as shares;
any other matter relating to finance for and of the local government referred to
the Finance Commission by the Governor, or the Government, or by a local
government.
The Order of the Governor based on the recommendations of the PFC remains in force
for a period of three years. The Provincial Allocable Amount and shares of the local
governments are determined on the basis of actual monthly receipts of the Government.
The Finance Commission in consultation with the Provincial Government also
determines the requirements for certification of fiscal transfers. The certification includes
the following:
provincial Allocable Amount and its calculation;
transfer of funds in accordance with determined shares to the District
Governments, Tehsil Municipal Administrations, Town Municipal Administrations
and the Union Administrations in the Province;
transfer of funds in accordance with the decisions of the Finance Commission on
references made to it from time to time; and
27
revenues and expenditures of the Government and local governments.
The Government or a local government may seek redressal of grievance relating to any
matter connected with fiscal transfers by the Government concerning itself or another
local government by making a reference to the Finance Commission along with the
grounds of such grievance
The Fiscal transfer mechanism considers various factors to come up with an equitable
distribution of funds. The main factors are population, under-development, fiscal effort,
area, revenue generation capacity, and expenditure requirement, besides others. The
objectives of fiscal transfers are to provide base line levels for essential services, to
encourage revenue generation efforts, to encourage spending in priority areas and to
promote efficient spending. The criteria mentioned are the design requirements for the
formula that will make the transfer system absolutely transparent and non-arbitrary.
Fiscal decentralization has brought into sharp focus the inequitable geographical
distribution of funds. The financial position of every District is now clearly indicated, and
this will allow the Nazims to politically defend the interests of their Districts at a time
when the Provincial Finance Commission determines allocations. This also makes
transparent the Provincial share of the total budget as compared to the Districts.
The transfers to local governments during FY 2001-2002 did not include establishment
charges, which were maintained at the Provincial level. Under the new Finance System
implemented from FY 2002-2003 the establishment charges are also to be transferred to
the local governments.
Each local government has a single fund. It includes the monies received from the
Provincial Government and the own source revenue of the local government. The law not
28
requires that the transfer of shares is to take place directly from the Provincial
Governments to the bank account of each local government. In lieu of OZT grant the
whole of the 2.5% of GST will now be added to the "Provincial Allocable Amount"
Monies credited to the Fund are kept in the bank specified by the Provincial Government.
All revenues received by a local government form part of the respective local government
fund including:
monies transferred by another local government under this Ordinance;
grants made to or monies received by a local government from the Government or
other sources;
the proceeds of taxes or charges levied by a local government under this
Ordinance;
rents and profits payable or accruing to a local government from immovable
property vested in or controlled or managed by it;
proceeds or any other profits howsoever known or called from bank accounts,
investments or commercial enterprises of a local government;
gifts, grants or contributions to a local government by individuals or institutions;
income accruing from markets or fairs regulated by a local government;
fines paid with respect to offences under this Ordinance or by-laws or under any
other law for the time being in force in which provision is made for the fines to be
credited to the Funds established under this Ordinance;
proceeds from other sources of income which are placed at the disposal of a local
government under directions of the Government; and
29
all monies transferred to a local government by the Government.
All other monies including receipts accruing from trusts administered or managed by a
local government, refundable deposits received by a local government; and deferred
liabilities are credited to the Public Account of the respective local government.
A local government can transfer approved budgeted amounts to any local government,
Village Council or Neighborhood Council or Citizen Community Board, within its local
area, for expenditure for carrying out a project service or activity transferred to, or
managed by, the recipient local government, Village Council Neighborhood Council or
Citizen Community Board
No local government is allowed to transfer monies to a higher level of government except
by way of repayment of debts contracted before the coming into force of this Ordinance.

d) Comments on the Organizational Structure.
The organization is very well structured because by this way the work burden
divided towards the different departments and the inspection of the head (D.C.O) makes
it more prominent to go with.
All the departments have their own sub offices handled by the District officers,
the files or the problems are divided to the concern person and very rare chances of lost
of data.

for its Fund, prepare in the prescribed manner, a budget for that year in conformity with
the provisions of section 119” substituted vide the Punjab Local Government (Eighth
Amendment) Ordinance, 2002.
Budgeting Process of Local Governments
Before the commencement of every financial year, a Nazim within the prescribed period
presents the budget for approval by the respective Council. The charged expenditure is
discussed but not voted upon by the Council. When a local government assumes office for
the first time, it may within ten weeks present to the concerned Council a revised budget
for the remaining part of the financial year for approval.
The budget is approved by a simple majority of the total membership of the respective
Council. No other business is taken up by a Council during the budget session. In case a
budget is not approved by a Council before the commencement of the financial year to
which it relates, the concerned local government spends money under various heads on
pro rata basis in accordance with the budgetary provisions of the preceding financial
37
year for a period not exceeding thirty days. In case the budget is not passed within the
extended period the budget is prepared, approved and authenticated by the Government
for the full year
At any time before the expiry of the financial year to which a budget relates, a revised
budget for the year can, if necessary, be prepared by the District Government,
Tehsil/Town Municipal Administration, and Union Administration and approved by the
respective Council.
A budget is not approved if the sums required to meet expenditures exceed the estimated
receipts.
Local government budgeting involves the preparation of the budget for the District/City
District Government, Tehsil/Town Municipal Administration and Union Administration.
The Executive District Officer (EDO), Finance and Planning is responsible for the
consolidation of the District Government budget. The Tehsil Officer Finance is
responsible for the Tehsil/Town Budget. At the Union level, the Union Nazim is to
prepare the budget with the assistance of the Union Secretaries.
The budget is classified into two areas. One part covers the non-development
expenditures while the other part includes the development expenditure.
The budget documents contain detailed information relating to the proposed expenditure
and the anticipated receipts. The basic publications are as follows:
Annual Budget Statement
Estimates of Receipts
Estimates of charged expenditure
38
Demands for grants
New expenditure
Development program
The documents mentioned above provide a complete picture of the budget of the local
government. The following information is included to assist in comparing the previous
and current position:
Budget estimates of the next financial year
Revised estimates of the current financial year
Budget estimates of the current financial year
Accounts of the financial year just closed

Development Planning through CCBs:
In every local area (defined as Union, Tehsil/Taluqa, Town, District and City District) a
group of non-elected citizens may, for energizing the community for development and
41
improvement in service delivery, set up a Citizen Community Board. The Citizen
Community Boards contribute in project design, implementation, management and
monitoring at grass root level with a view to improve services. Community Boards are
registered with the Community Development Group of Office of the respective district.
The decentralized framework makes all areas of development activities accessible to the
Citizens so that they can truly become masters of their own destiny. CCBs mobilize
communities and raise funds to solve local problems. The CCBs through voluntary,
proactive and self help initiatives take up:-
energizing the community for development and improvement in service delivery;
development and management of a new or existing public facility;
identification of development and municipal needs;
mobilization of stakeholders for community involvement in the improvement and
maintenance of facilities;
welfare of the handicapped, destitute, widows and families in extreme poverty;
establishment of farming, marketing and consumers cooperatives;
reinforcing the capacity of a special Monitoring Committee at the behest of the
concerned Council.
A Citizen Community Board is a non-profit organization and its income and are used
solely for the attainment of its objectives, and no portion of the income is to be paid by
way of salary, dividend, profit or bonus to any of its members or contributors. The
Citizen Community Board has a general body of its members who elect a Chairman,
Executive Committee and a Secretary of the Board for carrying out its functions. The
42
term of office of the Chairman, members of the Executive Committee and Secretary of the
Citizen Community Board is two year extendable through election for a similar term or
terms by the general body. The Chairman and Secretary are responsible for safe custody
and management of property and assets of the Citizen Community Board.
The CCBs submit their proposal on a standardized application form. The CCBs develop
proposals, which are in line with the functions and objectives defined in the Local
Government Ordinance. The maximum share of the local government cannot exceed
80%. The community share in cash must not be less than 20%.
Development Planning through Local Governments:
In addition to the bottom up planning mechanism the Ordinance also caters to
development activities through the regular local government system. Under this process
also, the public participation concept is adhered to. Schemes are identified at local level.
The community’s input is solicited at the planning and design stage. The schemes
identified by the Union Councils are forwarded to the Tehsil/Town Municipal
Administration and District Government. Similarly schemes identified by the Tehsil/Town
Council are forwarded to the District Government and Union Administration. District
Council may also recommend schemes to the Tehsil/Town Municipal Administration and
Union Administrations. No share from the public is required under this mechanism. All
schemes need to be approved by the respective Council.
Re-appropriations during the year:
Re-appropriation means the transfer of savings in the provision of expenditure made for
a particular unit of appropriation to meet the excess expenditure anticipated by another
43
unit. The Councils have powers under the law for re-appropriation of the budget at any
time during the year. There are no restrictions on the Council with regard to re-
appropriation.
44
3. Cash Flow Statement management & Reconciliation:
I was responsible to prepare and handle the cash flow statement of the
City District Government Gujranwala. A statement was received on daily bases in this
regard against the receiving and expenditure from State bank of Pakistan and on the other
hand the expenditure statements were received from District Account Office. There
reconciling and record maintaining was the most important opportunity for me, whom I
took exceptionally well and it learnt me a lot. Detail of my learning is given below
against local government’s Accounting system, expenditure system, taxation and auditing
system.
The reconciliation process is to check whether the withdrawal from the
state bank and Account office matches.
The process of Reconciliation and management is done on monthly bases
and I was responsible to receive and manage the record on daily bases and reconcile
monthly. In case of difference justification call from both offices was my responsibility.
Accounts:
(1) The accounts of the receipts and expenditure of District Government shall be kept in
such form and in accordance with such principles and methods as the Auditor General of
Pakistan may prescribe with the approval of the President.
(2) The accounts of receipts and expenditure of Tehsil Municipal Administration, Town
Municipal Administration and Union Administration shall be kept in the prescribed
manner.
(3) The following procedure for maintenance of accounts shall be followed, unless
changed by the Government through a notification:
(a) The District Accounts Officer or where District Accounts Office does not exist, a
Treasury Officer shall maintain the accounts of each District Government;
(b) The Tehsil Accounts Officer or Town Accounts Officer and Union Accountant shall
maintain the accounts of the Tehsil Municipal Administration or Town Municipal
Administration or the Union Administration, as the case may be;
45
(c) The District Accounts Officer shall perform pre-audit of all payments from the
District Fund before approving the disbursements of monies. In accordance with the pre-
audit checks prescribed by Auditor General of Pakistan from time to time; and
(d) The Tehsil Accounts Officer, Town Accounts Officer and Union Accountant shall
perform pre audit of all payments from the Tehsil Local Fund, Town Local Fund and the
Union Local Fund as the case may be, before approving the disbursement of monies in
the prescribed manner.
(4) A statement of monthly and annual Accounts and such other necessary statements
shall be placed at a conspicuous place by the Local Government concerned for public
inspection” substituted vide the Punjab Local Government (Eighth Amendment)
Ordinance, 2002.
Revenue Collection:
The collection of provincial taxes at the district level has been entrusted to the Revenue
Group of Office. This group includes two offices. The first one is Land Revenue and
Estate while the second is Excise and Taxation. The tax collection machinery has been
reorganized to make it more effective. A major function under the Land Revenue & Estate
is assessment and collection of land taxes. The Excise & Taxation office is also
responsible for the assessment and collection of taxes/duties and fees, which are in the
purview of the District Government. It is also responsible for the collection of Federal
and Provincial taxes when directed by the Provincial Government. The tax collection is
to be improved by increasing the tax base and bringing about an improvement in the
collection mechanism.
The taxes approved by the Zila Council are collected by the District Government through
the Revenue Group of Office. The District Government may adopt any mechanism for the
collection of these taxes, e.g., contracting or collection by its own staff. The amount
collected is deposited in the District Fund under their respective revenue heads.
46
The Tehsils/ Towns and Union Administration also have their own arrangements for tax
collection.
Expenditure Management:
The monies credited to a Fund are expended by local government in accordance with the
annual budget and Supplementary Budget approved by its Council. Once the Annual
Budget Statement has been approved by the Council, the local government Offices are in
a position to spend the budgeted funds. This process requires the following steps:
preparation of the Schedule of Authorized Expenditure for the year;
provision of the authenticated copy of the Schedule of Authorized Expenditure to
the District Accounts Officer; and
Communication of the sums authorized to the offices.
An important function of the local governments is procurement. The rules for the
delegation of Financial Powers have been issued to the local governments.
The focus of the devolution and fiscal decentralization efforts is to improve services. This
is to be achieved through a people-centered approach. To manage and control
expenditures, the Ordinance provides for a number of checks and balances. The
Monitoring Committees of the Councils plays an important role in ensuring that the
public funds are spent judiciously. The monitoring of the performance of the local
governments is a critical function and has been covered thoroughly in the Ordinance.
The Zila Nazim is required to present a report of the performance of the District
Government in person to the Zila Council at least twice a year. Likewise, the Tehsil/Town
Nazim has to present a similar report to his Council. The DCO has to prepare a report
on the implementation of development plans of the District Government for presentation
to the Zila Council in its annual budget session.
47
Taxation by Local Governments:
In addition to the fiscal transfers from the Province, the local governments have been
authorized to levy certain taxes. The Councils may increase, reduce, suspend, abolish or

District Government, Tehsil Administration or any statutory authority as

The procedure for levying new taxes has been made transparent. No tax can be levied
without inviting public objections.
Under the Local Government Ordinance, changes have been made in the tax structure.
The tax on transfer of immovable property and cattle markets are at the Tehsil/Town
level. The fees for licensing of professions and vocations have been provided to the Union
level. Two new sources, Health Tax and Education Tax have been given to the District
Government. The main objective in devolving taxes to the lower level is to bring about an
improvement in the collection efficiency and the tax base. An important change from the
previous system relates to the rating areas. Under the Local Government Ordinance the
entire Tehsil or Town is the a rating area.
52
If people visibly see the benefits of their tax money and if they know that the funds are
being used for productive purposes, their predisposition to pay taxes rises. When the
inverse is the case, everyone has a justification for avoiding taxes with little or no social
stigma attached to being a tax evader. In sum, every District, Tehsil/Town, and Union
now has the opportunity to mould its local tax culture through their actions in relation to
transparency, accountability, and service delivery.
Auditing of Local Governments:
The Local Government Ordinance provides a number of checks and balances for
ensuring that the expenditure is incurred judiciously and in accordance with the law,
rules and regulations. The Ordinance provides the institutional framework under which
the audit is to be conducted. The external audit is conducted by Auditor General of
Pakistan.
Under the LGO, 2001, the external audit of every District Government, Tehsil/Town
Municipal Administration and Union Administration is to be carried out once in a
financial year. The external audit report is to be placed before the Accounts Committee
of the respective Council. If required, a Nazim can request a special audit at any time
during the year. The Local Government Commission of a Province can also conduct a
special audit of the accounts of a local government.
The Auditor General in the case of District Government and Director Local Fund Audit
in the case of Tehsil/ Town and Union Administration, as the case may be, shall
ascertain whether the monies shown in the accounts as having been disbursed were
legally available for, and applicable to, the service or purpose to which they have
53
been applied or charged and whether the expenditure conforms to the authority
which governs it;
audit all transactions of a local government relating to Public Accounts;
audit all trading, manufacturing, profit and loss accounts of a local government; and
audit all receipts which are payable into a local government Fund and to satisfy
himself that all such receipts which are payable into a local government fund
have been properly and correctly deposited and rules and procedures relating to
such receipts have been fully observed.
The Auditor General in the case of District Government and Director Local Fund Audit
in the case of Tehsil/ Town and Union Administration, as the case may be, shall have the
authority to local government including treasuries, and such offices responsible for the
keeping of initial or subsidiary accounts;
documents which deal with, or form the basis of or otherwise relevant to the
transactions to which his duties in respect of audit extend, shall be sent to such
place as he may direct for his inspection; and consider necessary, and to call for
such information as he may require for the purpose of the audit;
In addition to the external audit Nazim of each District Government and each
Tehsil/Town Municipal Administration is to appoint an Internal Auditor. Internal audit is
an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and
improve a local government’s operations and will help the local government to
accomplish the objectives by bringing a systematic and disciplined approach to evaluate
and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes.
54
The Internal Auditor serves as a principal support person to respective Nazim of District
Government or Tehsil/Town Municipal Administration by providing information to him
on local government performance.

I was responsible to keep the record of all the interns working in the office
and maintaining the records of the interns. Their progress reports, evaluation, monthly
stipend matters were the biggest issues.
In accordance to this, all the matters related to District Account Office

Assistance of the dead persons who expires during their services. As cases receive, I was
responsible to check whether the file is complete from all aspects or not.
Secondly, making a note to the officers about the cases and informing them about
the current position of the case.
57
6. Budget Entry on SAP
SAP (Systematic Accounts Product), software especially designed for the
large scale Accounts problems and record keeping. Pakistan is the first country in Asia
using this software to control the Accounts on both the provincial and federal levels.
After preparation of Budget on MS Excel all the Finance Departments of
the Pakistan are responsible to upload or manually enter the data on that Software so that,
the budget could be check by the Accountant General and Finance Department.
Secondly, as the software is used to handle the accounts the District
Account Office is responsible to enter all the expenditures and re-appropriation of the
funds on this software.
Reports are automatically generated by the software and could easily print
out.

Important Note:
Whenever the release upload session is run and that session breaks due to any reason e.g electricity or problem in master data etc. Points to remember are that:
1. The system executes the data till the breakage of session. 2. When the session is again created from the beginning, it gives the error screen e.g FR33,
FR35 etc for the already created data. 3. Therefore you have to exclude the already created data/input (released) and then run the
session.
