...Limited, One Bank Limited and Mutual Trust Bank Limited. The study specifically focused on the extent to which companies practicing CSR complied with basic legal labor standards involving their employees and my marking 0 and 1 (0 for Null for practicing CSR,1 for CSR Practice). The study involved identification of companies providing CSR, obtaining information about the details of the CSR practices adopted at these companies (though looking at their website and interviews few of employees) and an assessment of how well these companies complied with basic CSR standards. The research found that most CSR practicing companies practiced CSR in their own specific way. It was often unclear how much money companies spend on CSR and it also found that many of these companies, whilst providing CSR, did not comply with the law in providing basic labor standards to their employees. The study also showed the comparison among these three banks with graph where graphical technique is informative in the field of statistics used to visualize quantitative data.

...Foundations for Financial Success Volume 1, Issue 1, March 3, 2011 TABLE CONTENTS OF What is financial literacy and why is it important? Financial literacy is the ability to use knowledge and skills to manage financial resources effectively for a lifetime of financial well-being. More specifically, it refers to the set of skills and knowledge that allow an individual to make informed and effective decisions through their understanding of finances. Financial literacy involves a number of different areas of understanding. Learning about money and how it works is an important aspect, as well as understanding products like credit, loans, and investments. Competency in managing money appears to be a skill that doesn’t come naturally to everyone. Unless a person is exposed to the practice of money management, he/she is less likely to understand how it works and it long-term benefits. Without a financial education, it is easy to develop poor spending and financial habits resulting in significant negative consequences such as a poor credit rating, denial of credit, rejection for a checking account and bankruptcy, to name a few. Early financial literacy is the best way to prevent such consequences. In essence, personal financial literacy is much more than managing and investing money. It also includes making all the pieces of your financial life fit together. Achieving Financial Success you must understand and determine where your money goes. Here’s how you can start: Analyzing...

...How faith integration manifests itself within the practice of corporate finance can only be understood when studying God's Word and practicing its teachings. One important aspect of integrating one’s faith within the context of finance is through stewardship. Stewardship is defined as;"1. the position and duties of a steward, a person who acts as the surrogate of another or others, especially by managing property, financial affairs, an estate, etc. 2. the responsible overseeing and protection of something considered worth caring for and preserving" (Dictionary.com, 2012). Stewardship in the context of faith integration is the act caring for and protecting the resources that God has entrusted us with and using them in a way that will bring Him glory and help to build up God’s kingdom (Porter, 2006, p. 817). This has an immediate inference to financial interactions. Luke 12:42(NKJV) states; “And the Lord said, “Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?” This passage of scripture continues in verses 43 and 44 to discuss how blessed that servant will be and how he will be made ruler over all that the possessions the master has. The individuals working in the field of finance who do their job well, will also be rewarded and/or compensated. When examining the goals and governance of the corporation, as well as, the financial markets and institutions, there are a number of individuals...

...Final Project Managerial Finance July 1, 2012 ABSTRACT This essay will provide a scriptural key to understanding the topics of finance in a Christian worldview perspective. The illustrations will be reflected through the events found in God’s word, providing a greater understanding into the relevance of the Bible in today’s economic world. It will show the importance of the integration of faith, as God has provided his wisdom for today in the illustrations of the Holy Word. Refer to II Timothy 3: 16 – 17; “All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work” (NIV, 2005), to understand that God’s word continues to apply today as it has maintained strength and reference to aspects of life and development. The topic of finance is addressed throughout the scriptures with suggestions for the proper practice. It is clear in the study of his word that finance is a part of the structural design that is to provide for the development of humankind and the world. INTRODUCTION TO FINANCE Stewardship How faith integration manifest itself within the practice of corporate finance can only be found when studying God's word within the Holy Bible and practicing its teachings. One important aspect of integrating ones faith within the context of finance is through stewardship. Stewardship...

...Financial Understanding FIN 100 Professor Murphy August 26, 2012 Financial Understanding As a business owner, financial understanding is a must. Small businesses typically finance their operations differently than large corporations. Many small businesses must rely on the personal resources and credit history of the firm’s owners to access money needed to be a success. Whether it is a small business or a corporation, success depends on having the ability to earn more than what is being paid out. Financial ratios help do just that. The main three ratios that are used in the business world are the current ratio, total debt ratio, and profit margin. Current ratio measures whether or not the business has enough resources to pay its bills over the next 12 months. This ratio can be determined by dividing the current assets by the current liabilities found on the company’s balance sheet. Total debt ratio is exactly what it says, a measure of the company’s debt. The total debt ratio is total debt divided by total assets. Profit margin is simply how much profit is made. Net income divided by sales shows profits. Each of these can be used for any size business (Ward, n.d.). If current ratio was to show an inability to cover the costs, debt financing may be a solution. As with all financial options, there are advantages and disadvantages. One advantage of debt financing is that it allows the founders of the company to maintain control...
