This paper purposes to explore the financial management practices of private commercial bank in Bangladesh based on the information provided in the financial statements. For this, Prime Bank Limited (PBL), a reputed private commercial bank operating in Bangladesh, has been studied for 2010-14. This study finds that major contributor of PBL’s operating revenue is funded income, major areas of fund employment are Secured overdraft / Quard against TDR, Cash credit / Murabaha, and Loans (General) while the major fund source is Term deposits / Mudaraba term deposits. PBL has always maintained higher return from credit than the cost of funds for deposit. However, the amount of unclassified loan is decreasing over the years while classifieds are increasing. The treasury income of PBL is increasing over the years and maximum portion of the income comes from interest income on Government Securities. In case of liquidity gap, overall positive gap is observed. The repricing gaps model for interest risk shows cumulative negative gap of PBL over the years while financing surpluses over the years are observed. Based on the analysis, this study calls for special focus of PBLs’ management in the areas of operating performance, credit risk management, and asset quality management.

The aim of this study was to determine the implications of financial management practices among micro enterprises for loan repayment. The study was confined to Solidarity Group Lending (SGL) customers of DCB Commercial Bank Plc (DCB). Specific objectives included: to identify common practices of managing finances among SGL customers; to determine the extent to which the commonly identified financial management practices influence loan repayment; and to find out challenges facing SGL customers during loan repayment in DCB. A case study research design and cluster sampling were used while data were collected using questionnaires from 80 respondents. Data were analyzed using multiple regressions, and simple descriptive statistics of frequencies, percentages, mean, and range. Results indicate that the common practices of managing finances among the respondents were cash holding 73.8% (n= 59) and short term investments 38.8% (n=31). Regression results revealed that about 70% of variations in ease of loan repayment is influenced by cash holding and short term investment techniques at p=0.000 level of significance (i.e. R = 0.841, R2 = 0.707 and p < 0.05). Key challenges of loan repayment among the respondents were: losses from business (82.6%), payment delays from debtors (67.5%), and difficulty in managing group members to attend their respective loan centers (72.6%). The study recommends that SGL customers need to be educated and sensitized on various financial management techniques and their implications so that they select appropriate techniques in managing profitability and liquidity in their businesses to enhance smooth loan repayment.

This paper reports on an investigation of financial management practices used by small, medium-sized and micro-enterprises (SMMEs) in South Africa. It was found that more than half the SMMEs examined use external accounting staff to prepare accounting reports and more than 60% rely on external accounting staff to interpret and use accounting information. A majority of the SMME owners were found to lack interpretation skills and an awareness of how to use information from financial statements. An implication of this study therefore is that policy makers, business support organizations, banks and academic institutions need to focus on educating SMMEs more effectively in financial management, thereby mitigating the risk of cash flow problems and business failure.

Financial information system is an information system that provides information to individuals or groups of people, both inside and outside the company that contains financial problems and information about the flow of money for users in the company. Financial information systems are used to solve financial problems in a company, by meeting three financial principles: fast, safe, and inexpensive.Quick principle, the intention is that financial information systems must be able to provide the required data on time and can meet the needs. The Safe Principle means that the financial information system must be prepared with consideration of internal controls so that company assets are maintained. The Principle of Inexpensive, the intention is that the cost of implementing a financial information system must be reduced so that it is relatively inexpensive.Therefore we need technology media that can solve financial problems, and produce financial information to related parties quickly, safely and cheaply. One example of developing information technology today is computer technology and internet. Starting from financial problems and technological advances, the authors make a website-based financial management application to facilitate the parties that perform financial management and supervision.Method of development application program is used Waterfall method, with the following stages: Software Requirement Analysis, Software Design, Program Code Making, Testing, Support, Maintenance.

We investigate into 3 SME cases by conducting the semi-structured interviews with the owner-managers and using direct observations to know the practices of financial management of SMEs. Through the research, we have found six propositions related to the practice of short-term financial management. They apply bootstraps to ensure availability of working capital. They set aside cash reserves from retained earnings and minimize loans from financial institutions. They have the computerized system to track receivables facilitating working capital needs.

The natural conditions, climate change and socio-economic challenges related to the transformation from a socialistic society towards a market-driven system make the implementation of sustainable land management practices in Mongolia especially complicated. Forests play an important role in land management. In addition to providing resources and ecosystem functions, Mongolian forests protect against land degradation.We conducted a literature review of the status of forest management in Mongolia and lessons learned, with special consideration to halting deforestation and degradation. We grouped our review into seven challenges relevant to developing regionally adapted forest management systems that both safeguard forest health and consider socio-economic needs. In our review, we found that current forest management in Mongolia is not always sustainable, and that some practices lack scientific grounding. An overwhelming number of sources noticed a decrease in forest area and quality during the last decades, although afforestation initiatives are reported to have increased. We found that they have had, with few exceptions, only limited success. During our review, however, we found a number of case studies that presented or proposed promising approaches to (re-)establishing and managing forests. These studies are further supported by a body of literature that examines how forest administration, and local participation can be modified to better support sustainable forestry. Based on our review, we conclude that it is necessary to integrate capacity development and forest research into holistic initiatives. A special focus should be given to the linkages between vegetation cover and the hydrological regime.
