A SHORT NOTE ON TRAINING
The University of Madras expects all the students who are studying B.Com Corporate
Secretaryship course to undergo training in a public limited Company. Therefore, I have
undergone training at Larsen & Toubro Limited at Chennai for a period of 45 days.
Institutional Training is a progress which enables the students to know about day-to-
day operation in the company. This training programme eliminates the gap between
theory and practical knowledge in the company. Training eliminates the fear of working
in a new environment and also enables the candidates to build up their communication
skills.
I am very grateful to the management for providing wonderful information required in
preparation of this project. This training session have taught me many useful things for
my future.
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE COMPANY
HISTORY
Larsen & Toubro Limited is the biggest legacy of two Danish engineers, who
built a world-class organization that is professionally managed and a leader in India’s
engineering and construction industry. It was the business of cement that brought the
young Mr. Henning Holck- Larsen and Mr. S.K. Toubro into India. They arrived on
Indian shores as representatives of the Danish engineering firm F L Smidth & Co in
connection with the merger of cement companies that later grouped into the Associated
Cement Companies.
Together, Mr. Holck-Larsen and Mr. Toubro founded the partnership firm of
L&T in 1938, which was converted into limited company on February 7, 1946. Today,
this was metamorphosed into one of India’s biggest success stories. The company has
grown from humble origins to a large conglomerate spanning engineering and
construction. ECC was conceived as Engineering Construction Corporation Limited in
April 1944 and incorporated as wholly owned subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro for ECC. It
has today emerged as India’s leading construction organization.
Larsen & Toubro Limited (L&T) is a technology, engineering, construction and
manufacturing company. It is one of the largest and most respected companies in India's
private sector.

ORGANISATION STRUCTURE
OFFICE LAYOUT
FUNCTIONS OF DEPARTMENTS
A company will comprises of many departments which includes Purchase
department, Production Department, Sales Department, Personnel Department, Finance
Department, Secretarial Department, Planning Department, Quality Department etc.,
Each Department will defer from the nature of the company. Some companies will
have Purchase department but will not have production works. Some companies will buy
finished goods from other companies and sell it to the customers.
The following are the departments which prevail in L&T.
1. Production Department
2. Personnel Department
3. Finance Department
4. Secretarial Department
5. R&D Department
1. PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT
Production is the functional area responsible for turning inputs into finished outputs
through a series of production processes. The Production Manager is responsible for
making sure that raw materials are provided and made into finished goods effectively. He
or she must make sure that work is carried out smoothly, and must supervise procedures
for making work more efficient and more enjoyable.
The index of Industrial Production for 2008-09 showed a growth of around 2.3% as
compared to the growth of 8.5% in the previous year.
Design and Engineering strengths in the sphere of manufacturing constitute a major
competitive advantage for L&T. It is these strengths that enable L&T to set new
benchmarks in terms of scale, sophistication and speed. The company has dedicated
engineering centres at each of the manufacturing locations of process plant equipment
and defence related equipment. Two technology Development Centres have been setup,
tasked with development of new products and of new manufacturing technologies. L&T
also has collaboration agreements with the India Space Research Organization as well as
other niche players to bolster its capabilities in the strategic sectors of aerospace, defence
and nuclear power.
L&T’s rich technology base secures widespread public recognition successfully
manufactures equipment that set bold new precedents. Recently, for instance, L&T
manufactured one of the world’s largest FCC regenerators, with an internal diameter of
16.3 metres and weight of over 1320 tonnes. Earlier, L&T engineers had also
manufactured the world’s largest reactors in the metal composition of chrome
Molybdenum Vanadium.
Manufacturing facilities of the company and its Groups are located at Ahmednagar,
Bangalore, Chennai, Coimbatore, Faridabad, Hazira (Surat), Kansbahal (Rourkela),

performance evaluation, reward and recognition systems
Identify training needs within the Organisation and design and implement those
need based training programmes resulting in continuous upgradation of
knowledge, skills and attitudes of the employees
3. FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT
FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANANLYSIS:
Financial statements are final result of accounting work done during the accounting
period. Financial statements normally include Trading, Profit and loss Account and
Balance sheet. The users of accounting information may not be able to get direct reply to
certain questions from the above statements. However, by expressing the items in the
financial statements, in relation to each other we can get meaningful information.
Analysis of financial statement has been defined as “a process of evaluating the
relationship between the component parts of the financial statements to obtain a better
understanding of a firm’s position and performance”.
Financial statement analysis is an important part of the overall financial assessment.
The different users look at the business concern from their respective view point and are
interested in knowing about its profitability and financial condition. A detailed cause and
effect study of the profitability and financial condition is the overall objectives of
financial statement analysis.
Significance of Financial Statement Analysis:
Judging the earning capacity or profitability of a business concern.
Analysing the short term and long term solvency of the business concern.
Helps in making comparative studies between various firms.
Assists in preparing budgets.
Limitations of Financial Statement Analysis:
Analysis of financial statements helps to ascertain the strength and weakness of
the business concern, but at the same time it suffers from the following
limitations.
It analyses what has happened till date and does not reflect the future.
It ignores price level changes.
Financial analysis takes into consideration only monetary matters,
qualitative aspects are ignored.
The conclusion of the analysis is based on the correctness of the financial
statements.
Analysis is a means to an end and not the end itself.
As there is variation in accounting practices followed by different firms a
valid comparison of their financial analysis is not possible.
RATIO ANALYSIS:
Ratio is an expression of one number in relation to another. Ratio analysis is the
process of determining and interpreting the numerical relationship between figures of
financial statements. A ratio is a mathematical relationship between two items expressed
in a quantitative form. An absolute figure does not convey much meaning. Generally,
with the help of other related information the significance of the absolute figure could be
understood better.
For example Nila earns Rs.50, 000 profits in her business while Nivedita earns Rs.40,
000 profits. Whose business is more profitable? Instantly we may say that as Nila earns
more profit, her business is more profitable. But in order to answer this question we must
know what was the sale made by both of them. Suppose Nila has made a sale of Rs.4,
00,000 and Nivedita Rs.3, 00,000. Now we can calculate the percentage of profit earned
on the sales to know whose business is more profitable.
Nila = 50,000/4, 00,000 *100 = 12.5%
Nivedita = 40,000/3, 00,000*100 = 13.33%
From the above calculations it is clear that the profitability of Nivedita is more than
Nila, because, she is getting 13.33% return and Nila is getting only 12.5%.
Thus, the above example explains that absolute figures by themselves may not
communicate meaningful information. Hence, business results are understood properly
only when the relevant figures are considered together.
Definition:
In the words of Kennedy and Mc Millan” the relationship of an item to another
expressed in simple mathematical form is known as ratio”.
OBJECTIVES:
The objectives of using ratios are to test the profitability, financial position and the
operating efficiency of a concern.
ADVANTAGES:
Ratio analysis is an important technique in financial analysis. It is a means for judging
soundness of the concern. The advantages of accounting ratios are as follows:
It is a useful device for analysing the financial statements.
It simplifies, summarizes the accounting figures to make it understandable.
It helps in financial forecasting.
It facilitates interfirm and intrafirm comparisons.
Ratio analysis is useful in finding the strength and weakness of a business concern.
After identifying the weakness, the ratios are also helpful in determining the causes of the
weakness.
CLASSIFICATION OF RATIOS:

Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities
Current assets are those assets which are easily convertible into cash within one
year. This includes cash in hand, cash at bank, sundry debtors, bills receivable, short term
investment or marketable securities, stock and prepaid expenses.
Current liabilities are those liabilities which are payable within one year. This
includes bank overdraft, sundry debtors, bills payable and outstanding expenses.

is more than the ideal ratio. This depicts that company’s liquidity position is sound. Its
current assets are more than its current liabilities
2. LIQUID RATIO:
This ratio is used to assess the firm’s short term liquidity. The relationship of
liquid assets to current liabilities is known as Liquid ratio. It is otherwise called
as Quick Ratio or Acid Test Ratio. The ratio is calculated as:
Liquid Ratio = Liquid Assets/Current liabilities
Liquid Assets means current assets less stock and prepaid expenses.

SOLVENCY RATIOS
Solvency refers to the firm’s ability to meet its long term indebtedness. Solvency ratio
studies the firm’s ability to meet its long term obligations. The following are the
important solvency ratios:
1. Debt-Equity Ratio
2. Proprietary Ratio
1. DEBT-EQUITY RATIO:
This ratio helps to ascertain the soundness of the long term financial position of the
concern. It indicates the proportion between total long term debt and shareholders’ funds.
This also indicates the extent which the firm depends upon outsiders for its existence.
The ratio calculated as:
Debt Equity Ratio = Total long term debt/shareholders funds
Total long term debt includes debentures, long term loans from banks and financial
institutions. Shareholders’ funds include Equity share capital, preference share capital,
Reserves and surplus.

PROFITABILITY RATIO
Efficiency of a business is measured by profitability. Profitability ratio measures the
profit earning capacity of the business concern. The important profitability ratios are
discussed below:
1. Gross profit Ratio
2. Net profit Ratio
3. Operating Profit Ratio
4. Operating Ratio
1. GROSS PROFIT RATIO:
This Ratio indicates the efficiency of trading activities. The relationship of
Gross profit to Sales is known as gross profit ratio. This ratio is calculated as:
Gross Profit Ratio = Gross Profit/Sales *100
Gross profit is taken from the Trading account of the business concern. Otherwise
Gross profit can be calculated by deducting cost of goods sold from
sales. Sales mean Net Sales.
Gross Profit = Sales – Cost of goods sold
Cost of Goods Sold = Opening Stock + Purchases - Closing Stock (or) Sales – Gross
Profit
