Evaluation Of Liquidity Assets Management In First Bank Of Nigeria Plc

Evaluation Of Liquidity Assets Management In First Bank Of Nigeria Plc

Abstract

The language of business is money, and money is the business of financial institutions. No business be it large, medium or small – scale can survive without finance, therefore. Financial institutions should try as much as possible to develop their credit policies, as they are the target sources of finance available to the small – scale enterprises. For many years the importance of small scale industries Vis – a- vis their role in the economic development of Nigeria can never be overemphasized, so their need for long – term finance increase. Inspite of the government’s effort in assisting the development and strength of small-scale industries, the assistance given by the financial institution still remains inadequate.

The major problem confronting small scale industries is as a matter of fact constitute the second major sector in the Nigeria economy that bears most of the burnt of the existing gap in the Nigeria financial system. It is worth reiterating that one of the objectives of the federal and state government is to achieve socio – economic development of the goal cannot be achieve without the development of rural areas, the growth of small – scale industries in the rural areas serves as one of the main vehicle of transforming the nations and the subsequent enhancement of the socio economic growth of the state. Indeed, it has been noted that, usually in programmes of social and economic developments in the newly industrializing countries, small industries play a vital role. Small – scale industries assist the government in creation of employment opportunities, this reduces surplus labour. This tends to reduce urban influx of employment labour. This sector has facilitated rapid expansion and diversification in the industrial sector of the Nigeria economy. The sector is diversified in that not only large industries are relied upon but also small business and that the large industries fail.

The small ones could be made to produce and render the service required. It is worth nothing that though these small-scale enterprises are small in nature, they have a definite function to place in our economy. For the supply of raw materials and other inputs to the large industries, small and medium enterprises all need to be unturned in the hope that they can grow into large enterprises as new ones rise up to replace them and the old ones continued in the process of economic growth and development. For an objective analysis, interview and questionnaire have been used as research instruments. The interviews were administered to some selected small – scale industrialists. On the analysis it was found out that the role of financial institution to the development of Small – scale industries in Nigeria is inadequate. Consequently, the null hypothesis is accepted. Finally, some useful recommendation as to improving the assistance of financial institutions to small-scale businesses have been advanced.

1.0 Introduction

Banks have been accused of taking two much risk in unexpected new environments and lines of business. The advice being given is for the banks to avoid further in exposure by threatening to move tradition that will understand the activities banks, however are being charged by their shareholders to maximize holder’s wealth overtime. To achieve this goal, banks must search out for opportunity in the financial market and loan to manage risk by implementing more systematic system of risk control. At present it appears appropriate to develop specific management control mechanism for each new risk element.

The system being designed by bankers is in contrast one that allows each new form of risk to a new element in an overall analytic area of banks. This approach requires an informational environment that enables risk managers to analyze all of the risk inherent in a given transaction.

This why each and every paper in the bank is considered as money because it talks about it. One of the functions of banks is to grant loan to customer, so as to assist them to undertake various projects for the development of economic activities in the country. In this aspect both the customers and the bank have the same aim that is to make profit.

Summary, Conclusion and Recommendation

When banks first began, cash generated by shareholders (sales of equity shares) cash changes generally as business goes on the change comes from customer hand like purchases of stationeries, building and machinery are procured as well as other assets of the bank. When all these are done a portion of the cash is usually held in its original liquid form which will be used to generate profit.

2. There is also the need to expand operations and office space because the strength of customers are too much for such a small office to offer, the office is so compacted that some documents would not be found on time when they are needed.
3. The welfare of the staff in general should be looked into as to enable enjoy an attractive working conditions in their offices. The atmosphere of the branch is very rowdy and that can lead to loss of interest on the job, the central air condition systems should be placed with new ones because they are due for disposal refreshment should be given from the time to time and suggestions should be provided for the staff to express their views to guide the management team.
4. There is a need for more machines for posting ledgers and statements which will head to more accurate posting more staff should also be posted to machine department.
5. Customers should be served on the basis of first come first serve.
6. Customers should be given proper education on the activities of the bank
7. Regular meeting should be held between the management and significant number of customers so as to understand common problems encountered by them.
8. The profit of the bank is reflected by the level of operations, it performs in a year or given period cheques set for collection to other banks or branches often take long tine before payment is made it is important that the head office should be given priority to the cheques sent for collected or payment.

The liquidity management is aimed at satisfying the liquidity requirements of any satisfying the liquidity requirements of any establishment for its existence and also utilize liquid cash as an assets, it has been observe however that, first bank Nigerian Plc has an efficient liquid management system. The bank has been found to deviate far from the survey concerning management of its liquid resources. Returns are rendered as scheduled:

The goal of maximization of profit is fully pursued and efficiently achieved.

The auditors of a considerable amount of details checking limits investigation to test.

A management control means practically a continuous internal checking on the staff themselves by means of which the work of the individual is independently checked by other members for the staff. For instance, the bank check in charge of the ledger should not keep or be allowed to have any control over the ledger.
