care, handicraft and herbal health care. It is stressing in the children to join the main stream educational institution to ensurezero drop out.
Prevention Effort

In addition to this 24 hour helpline is provided for those in need of family counselling.
Innovation
BISWA has developed a number of new approaches in the area of education, self help and microenterprise. For exampleJhakarbahali and Hatibadi experiment are well recognised.
Nutrition
Proper nutrition improves children health and the quality of their life for years to come. Two billion people in developmentworld suffer from diet lacking essential vitamins and mineral. The most critical time for addressing childrens nutrition isconception through 24 month of age. We are working to improve the diet of people in the developing world and ensureproper nutrition for young children.
Maternal, Newborn and Child Health
Every year more than a half a million women die and many more suffer complication from child birth. Death and disabilityamong mother greatly effects the health well being of children. Nearly 10 million children die each year from related healthproblem. Many young children die from diarrhoea, pneumonia and malaria. Despite of the fact that we known how to preventor treat this condition. Poor nutrition is an underlying cause for many of this death. Women and children could be saved ifthey have access to existing treatment and prevention strategy. Our BISWA is working to improve access to prevention andcare that can save many of these lives.
HIV/AIDS
HIV/AIDS is a preventable, treatable disease and millions of people are living with it. Many countries have made progress inreducing the number of new HIV infection through comprehensive prevention efforts. A vaccine and other new prevention

option are urgently needed. Despite the proven effectiveness of existing prevention approach, they have limitation. Thedevelopment of vaccine and other new prevention is critical for successfully fighting the epidemic, especially in developingcountries.
HIV weakens the immune system leading not only to AIDS but also to deadly disease such as tuberculosis. Infectionwith HIV increases the chances of becoming infected with tuberculosis and chances that someone infected with TB willdevelop the active disease. In fact TB is now leading cause of death among people with HIV/AIDS. We cannot effectively fightAIDS without also fighting TB.

IMPACT ECONOMIC INTERVENTION
1. BISWA SHG earn profit from the construction work2. Selected SHG undergo mason training3. Subsidiary enterprises are created like the soap, phenyl and broom making units.
2. MICROFINANCE
Microfinance is a small finance ensuring financial services at affordable interest rates for the poor and the needy at their doorstep. Nearly 40% of India population lives in poverty. In India we find that many are poor because of one simple reason that islack of regular income. So for this 90% of rural poor are deep in debt. At last they turn to money lender who charges 60% to120% interest per annum or even more. In consequence they are pushed to extreme poverty, so microfinance is a burningillustration to make viable to the poor, resulting increasing household income and saving.
So our BISWA facilitates formation of SHG to save, share and built capacity. Small loans for the business are provided andcollected through individual member in SHG.
As a result of such economic development initiatives many small business expand and become viable. As a result,poor families have enough to feed their children and send them to school. The marginalised poor develop their business andmanage to live a decent life. This approach is very powerful in lifting communities from economic poverty, ultimately leadingthe community to be self-reliant and live with dignity.
BISWA APPROACH
Our organisation BISWA has already extended credit worth Rs.3, 92,612,829/- to 31180 SHGs with 499707 members up toSeptember 08.

3. MICROINSURANCE
Micro insurance is protection of poor people and their families against specific perils like death, illness, weather catastrophesetc. In principle micro insurance work like any typical insurance business. That it is a group insurance that can coverthousand of customer under one contract. Micro insurance require an intermediary between the customer and insurancecompany. Preferable this intermediary is a non government organisation (NGO) or microfinance institution. Poor people oftenlive in an area prone to flooding or work in factories under very hazardous condition. The fact that they have little money to
respond to those risks makes them even more vulnerable. For these poor micro insurance is a form of risk managementsaving and credit may help people cope with minor and foreseeable financial hardship, such as education cost. Microinsurance serves to cover expensive and infrequent risk such as hospitalisation, death or disability.
It is estimated that only eight million out of the world 2.5 billion poor are now covered by some form of microinsurance. Most remain without access to this critical financial service. In India and china where organisations are estimatedto serve nearly 30 million insurance clients each. The percentage of poor lives insured hovers below 3%. According to thestudy the rural poor not only want insurance to be affordable, but also to protect against high frequency risk such serious illhealth, accident, harvest failure and fire.
Micro insurance like regular insurance may be offered for a wide variety of risks. These includes both health risk (illness,injury or death) our property risk (damage or loss).A wide variety of micro insurance product exist to address these risksincluding crop insurance, livestock/cattle insurance, insurance for theft or fire, health insurance, term life insurance, deathinsurance, disability insurance, insurance for natural disaster etc.

9. DELINQUENCY MANAGEMENT
What is Delinquency?
The situation is that occurs when loan payment are past due. A loan in arrear is a loan which payment is past due. It is alsoreferred to arrear or late payment, measure the percentage of a loan portfolio at risk. Delinquent payment in arrear is loanpayment which is past due. Delinquency occurs when loan payment is one day late.
Reasons behind delinquency1. Lack of proper monitoring at partners level2. Credit policies at partner level not properly defined3. Loan diversion4. Tenure of loan at institutional level5. Partners not getting loan at the time of requirement6. Repeat loan is not on time7. Capacity building support should be provided8. Need assessment at the grass root level is not proper9. Proper utilisation of loan10.Poor loan appraisal11.Lack of good governance
12.Multiple loan at SHG level13.Low absorbing capacity of the client14.Overlapping of MFIs15.People lost business external factors16.Migration17.Govt. Policies

10.RATIO ANALYSIS
1. Current Ratio-Probably the best known liquidity ratio is the current ratio, the quotient of current assets and currentliabilities. Current assets and current liabilities are commonly defined as falling due within a year from the balancesheet date.
51 | P a g e
8/8/2019 New Study ,Material
52/112
Current Ratio= Current Asset/Current Liabilities
2. Capacity Ratio-The cash position indicators compare vault cash and demand deposit at other banks including thecentral bank to the total asset of the institution.
Capacity Ratio= Net Loans/Total Assets
3. Total Deposit Ratio-Such a large scale of retail deposits would be evidenced by high total deposit ratio.
Total Deposit Ratio= Total Customer Deposit/Total Assets
4. Purchased Fund Ratio-The purchased fund ratio measures the amount of commercial short-term funding relation to thetotal balance sheet volume. It is defined as:
Purchased Fund Ratio= (Short term Borrowing + Purchased Fund)/Total Assets
5. Core Deposit Ratio-As the last of many more conceivable ratios on the liability side, we will introduce a refinement tothe total deposit ratio above. The core deposit ratio eliminates the volatile portion of the deposit mass and emphasize
the stable which the institution can rely on, regardless of seasonal swings
Core Deposit Ratio= Core Deposit/Total Assets
6. Loan to Deposit Ratio-Many bank and bank analyst monitor loan to deposit ratio as a general measure of liquidity:
Loan Deposit Ratio= Net Loans/Total Deposits
7. Net Non-Core Funding Dependency- One of more sophisticated liquidity ratios commonly tracked by financialinstitutions is the net non-core funding dependence.
Net Non-Core Funding Dependency= (Non Core Liabilities Short Term Investment)/Net Loans
52 | P a g e
8/8/2019 New Study ,Material
53/112
8. Reserve Ratio-Although there is no shortage of different liquidity indicator in the commercial banking literate,surprisingly there is rarely mention of a ratio that compares cash assets to customer deposits. For MFIs however, this isoften the key question: how much cash should not hold against saving deposits? Many MFI such as Rural Bank ofPanabo (RBP) in the Philppines explicitly track this kind of reserve ratio and define liquidity rules on this basis. RBP, forexample, mandates a 20 % cash reserves on all customer deposits. A basic reserve ratio could be defined as:
Reserve Ratio= Cash Assets/Customer Deposits
Internal Control System to Minimize Fraud and Forgery
Designing Internal Control System For Mfis
1. INTRODUCTION
Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) are informal financial service providers and are not under any regulatoryframework like the formal sector. On the demand side the MFIs offer collateral-free loans. Social collateral replacesmaterial collateral through an intangible micro-network of mutual accountabilities. Again, from the supply side,distinct characteristics of MFIs in Bangladesh are not- for profit organizations. Board members are notshareholders, they do not have financial stakes. MFIs through microcredit programs (MCPs) mobilize poor anddistressed target people and extend collateral- free small loans to them with the objective of creating self-employment for poverty alleviation. The most important asset in MFIs is the portfolio, and the liability is thesavings deposit taken from the poor MCP members. Savings mobilization takes place as a source of funding for theRevolving Loan Fund (RLF). A distinct characteristic of MFIs is its informal, decentralized process of servicedelivery technology. Although they have a Central Head Office, the MCP is operated at the grass root level throughBranches. For better administration Branches are organized under Regions and if necessary, Regions underDivisions. Though the average individual loan size in the MCP is small, the number of transactions is high. At thefield level, the amount of cash handling is also high, which creates opportunities for fraud. MFIs can partially
53 | P a g e
8/8/2019 New Study ,Material
54/112
compensate for structural shortcomings by practicing self regulation through effective internal control systemlinked to sound risk management strategies. It will keep the MFIs on the track to achieve a sustainable MFIcorporate culture.
2.0 SELF-REGULATION
The basic concept of self-regulation is the internal good governance on the basis of: shared values andprinciples, shared standards among MFIs, local network as local value guardian for ensuring standard.1 Self-regulation is expected to be ingrained within the MFIs integrated management system to ensure sound andorganized growth on a sustainable basis. And, the dormant attribute is internal control to minimize riskmanagement. Broadly, Governance and Accountability are essential elements for self- regulated integrated
management system. Specific requirements are:
a) A strong and capable board of directors that establishes sound program interventions, financial and riskmanagement policies and ensures management accountability for effectively implementing these policies.
b) Developing standard accounting system that is transparent and acceptable universallyc) An intensive and extensive internal audit function to confirm that the approved policies are followed and
procedures are effective.d) Development of effective mechanism for savers protectione) Efficient management and an effective Management Information System (MIS).f) Development of effective financial and operational performance standard.g) High quality external auditing by competent auditors experienced in microcredit as an objective check on
internal control systems to protect against fraud and mismanagement.h) Strategic monitoring of financial performance standards, program performance and compliance of the code
of norms/conducts by competent management.

3.0 INTERNAL CONTROL
It is a set of integrated methods and procedures translated into regular and periodic activities that preservessafety of asset (e.g. loan portfolio, cash and other physical assets etc), improves client service, ensures reliabilityof financial information and staff adherence to management policies and guidelines. It ensures, (I) systems ofaccountability along with prevention of errors and irregularities, and (ii) systems of detecting errors andirregularities. Management must ensure that a proper internal control structure is instituted, reviewed, andupdated to keep it effective. It must satisfy three basic criteria:
They must be appropriate (that is, the right control in the right place and commensurate to the risk
They must function consistently as planned throughout the period (that is, be complied with carefully by allemployees involved and not bypassed when key personnel are away or the workload is heavy).
They must be cost effective (that is, the cost of implementing the control should not exceed the benefits
derived).
4.0 RISK MANAGEMENT FOR MFIs
Risk is intrinsic in MFIs mode of operation for providing financial services.To minimize the risk factorMFIs shouldlink internal control to risk management. Risk management is the process of assessment of relative risk andensuring that controls are present and effective. It covers prevention of potential problems and the early detectionof actual problems when they occur. Risk management of MFIs has different dimensions as follows:
1. Governance Risk2. Management Risk:
a) Operating Risk,b) Financial Risk:(i)Portfolio Risk,

Governance is a process by which Board Members, through management, guide an MFI in fulfilling its corporatemission while protecting the MFIs assets. As board members do not have a material stake, in competent,commitment, sincerity with good reputation should be the basis for selection of board members. Well defined,clear procedures and documentation of board meetings are essential.
4.2 Management Risk
Management plays a key role behind the success or failure of MFIs through a set of activities (including planningand decision making, organizing, leading, and controlling) directed at an MFI's resources (human, financial,physical, and information) for a cost-effective, self-reliant and sustainable organization. Clear and transparentoperational guidelines and policies, such as: organograms, functions of different sections, staff responsibilities,accounts-keeping formats etc., can help to develop a good system of internal control to mitigate management riskof MFIs. The entire operational system deserves surveillance by management to see if it is working as prescribedand if changes are warranted. In its broadest sense, internal control to management risks refers to bothadministrative control and accounting control. Management risk can be broadly divided into two categories as
follows:
4.2.1Operating Risk
Operating risk refers to the risk of losses or unexpected expenses associated with fraud, inefficiency, errors andunforeseen contingencies. Steps for reduction of operating risks are:
Reliable Personnel with Clear Responsibilities: Individuals must be given authority, responsibility, and duties
commensurate with their abilities, interests, experience, and reliability. Appropriate recruitment and reward-
punishment systems are of utmost importance in these regards. Responsibility means tracking actions as far down
in the organization as is feasible, so that results can be related to individuals. It means having field-
workers/supervisors sign MIS report, accountants initial cash book/general ledger, and field-workers sign
savings/loan pass books and group attendance-registers etc.

Communication : Regular co-ordination meetings to be held frequently at the central as well as at the field level
with a view to having a clear analysis of the problems that arise in the course of implementation of the programs.
Physical Safeguards: Access to resources and records is to be limited to authorized individuals who are
accountable for their custody or use. To ensure accountability, the resources are to be periodically compared with
the recorded amounts.
Losses of cash, inventories, and records are minimized by safes, locks, guards, and restricted access to assets. POsshould take special precaution for preserving cash in vaults. Documents should also be kept in lockers.
Rotation of Duties: To avoid risk key people handling cash or inventories should have job rotations.
Where most frauds and forgeries occur & its remedy:
1. Loan distributed by proxy-ADC must present at time of loan disbursement to avoid proxy.
2. Loan amount being shared between borrower and staff- Representative from Head Office mustpresent during disbursement of loan.
3. Loan amount collected from groups for personal use with the intent to pay them later- Oncecollection is not made during any month from any loanee group then ADC & AC are advised to visit the samegroup for collection.
4. New loan granted to hide arrears- Before Sitting of loan committee, DC must confirm the outstandingbalance, if there any in DC office & Head Office.
5. New loan taken to pay other loan- ADC are advised to make critical appraisal of loan application.
6. Create false group and misappropriate by employee- ADC are advised to maintain properly the groupdetail register.

7. Thefts of SHG saving by staff- ADC, DC & Staff from Head Office are advised to make visit to allgroups.
8. Multiple loans to the Individual group members- ADC are advised to make critical analysis of loanapplication.
4.2.2Financial Risk
Asset and liability management refers to the financial risk management of an MFI. Generally, any action toincrease the expected returns of an MFI will also increase its risk structure. The major categories of asset andliability management risk that an MFI needs to consider are:
4.2.2.1 Portfolio Risk
The primary revenue-earning asset of a micro credit organization is its portfolio, and portfolio risk management
guards against potential losses resulting from the poor quality of the organizations loan portfolio assets. Thefollowing factors are directly related to maintaining the desired quality of loan portfolio.1. Program placement2. Sanity management3. Loan disbursement and recovery system4. Skill of field workers (including Branch managers)5. Regular Internal supervision (degree of supervision on both field workers and samiti member borrowers).6. Incentive base for management staff and employees.7. Sound Governance8. Capability of Chief Executive9. Accuracy of MIS report10.Offsite monitoring tools for analyzing MIS reports with particular focus on loan portfolio quality.
4.2.2.2 Interest Rate Risk
59 | P a g e
8/8/2019 New Study ,Material
60/112
Interest rate risk arises when interest rates on assets and interest rates on liabilities (which fund the assets) are
mismatched. Interest rate risk is primarily of concern to MFIs that mobilize deposits, and / or have relatively long
term loans (of greater than one year). In MFIs assets are frequently short-term (loans, term deposits, and so on),
while liabilities are frequently long term (concessional loans). This results in a funds gap. Gap positions will have
to be managed effectively to maintain (or achieve) financial sustainability.
4.3 Liquidity Risk
Liquidity management and cash flow management are often used interchangeably. In fact, liquidity managementincludes the management of not only cash but also other short term assets and short term liabilities, bill payments,and debt repayment. An MFI is in a liquid position if it is able to meet its current obligations as they become due, ifdemands for funds are readily met while balancing the need to earn revenue. This can be avoided through abudgetary practice.
5.0 TOOLS FOR EFFECTIVE INTERNAL CONTROL
Internal control is a process. It is a means to an end, not an end in itself. Internal control systems are fundamentalto the success and survival of MFIs. It is a moving target. It must be monitored and adapted to fit thecircumstances. Internal control is geared to the achievement of objectives in one or more separate but overlappingcategories. Microfinance management may be defined as an operational system of microfinance services thatstarts from organizing groups, mobilizing savings, selecting borrowers, disbursing microcredit, collectingrepayment, recycling loan, preventing defaulters and defalcation as well keeping systematic records and reportstowards the end of poverty alleviation .In designing effective internal control system for MFIs the following criterianeeds attention:
5.1 Segregation of Duties
Key duties and responsibilities in authorizing, processing, recording, and reviewing transactions and events should
be separated among individuals. Internal control is affected by people. It is not merely producing and distributing
policy manuals and forms, it is monitoring people at every level of the organization. The separation of tasks not
60 | P a g e
8/8/2019 New Study ,Material
61/112
only helps ensure accurate compilation of data, but also limits the chances for fraud that would require the
collusion of two or more persons. This extremely important and often neglected element can be subdivided into
four parts:
Separation of operational responsibility from record keeping responsibility. The entire accountingfunction should be separated from operating departments so that objective, independent records may be kepteither by other operating people or by clerks. For example, cash and other ledgers should be kept by accountant,not by the cashier or field workers. The accountant/store clerk, not store keeper, should keep inventory records.Separation of the custody of assets from accounting: This practice reduces temptation and fraud. Forexample, the bookkeeper should not handle cash, and the cashier should not have access to ledger accounts suchas the individual records of micro-credit clientele.
In a computerized system, a person with custody of assets should not have access to programming or any inputrecords. Similarly, an individual who handles programming or input records should not have access to temptingassets.
Separation of the authorization of transactions from the custody of related assets: To the extent
feasible, persons who authorize transactions should not have control over the related asset. For instance, the
same individual should not authorize the payment of a suppliers invoice and also sign the check in payment of the
bill. Nor should an individual who handles cash receipts have the authority to indicate which accounts receivable
(e.g. loan outstanding) should be written off as uncorrectable.
Separation of duties within the accounting function: An employee should not be able to record a transaction
from its origin to its ultimate posting in a ledger. Independent performance of various phases will help ensure
control over errors.
5.2 Authorization and Execution of Transactions and Events
Transactions and significant events are to be authorized and executed only by persons acting within the scope oftheir authority. All transactions will require approval and authorization by a responsible official. The limits of
61 | P a g e
8/8/2019 New Study ,Material
62/112
delegation of approving authority and financial power limits should be clearly defined and who approves whatshould also be defined specifically. Authorization can be either general or specific.
General authorization must be given in written form. It often sets definite limits on loan ceiling, savings
instruments, rate of service charge, daily/travel allowance, and so forth. There may also be complete prohibitions
(against taking extra fees or any facility from microcredit borrowers, etc).
Specific authorization usually means that a superior manager must permit (typically in writing) any particulardeviations from the limits set by general authorization. For example, the chief executive, rather than the branchmanager, may have to approve any distress loan (i.e. interest free loan given from disaster management fund).Another example is the need for approval from the board of directors/executive committee regarding expendituresfor capital assets in excess of limits specified in the budget.5.3 Documentation
The internal control structure and all transactions and significant events are to be clearly documented, and the
documentation is to be readily available for examination. Transactions and significant events are to be promptly
recorded and properly classified e.g. loan proposals along with group resolutions and savings-loan collection-sheetto journals and ledgers. Immediate, complete, and tamper-proof recording is the aim. To this end pre-numbered
source documents andregisters should be in practice to ensure recording.
5.4 Monitoring and Supervision
Competent supervision is to be provided to ensure that internal control objectives are achieved. To be effective,
controls should fulfill their intended purpose in actual application. A set of controls designed to operate in a manual
environment may not be effective in an automated environment. Therefore, the controls selected should provide
the coverage they are supposed to provide and operate when intended. As for efficiency, controls should be
designed to derive maximum benefit with minimum effort. Controls tested for effectiveness and efficiency should
be those in actual operations and should be evaluated over time to ensure that they are continually used.

Operations staff / managers are to continually monitor their savings and loan operations through field visits and
take prompt, responsive action on all findings of irregular, uneconomical, inefficient, and ineffective operations. In
the supervision of MCPs aspects of considerations are:
Use of loan outside the proposed IGA/ unproductive activity
Hidden Overdue Violation of Traditional Micro Credit Culture False Vouching False Disbursement
Fictitious Cash in Hand Social motivation to recover the default loan Find out the causes of defalcation of loan SWOT analysis for default loan recovery Insufficient MIS, AIS and poor record keeping
5.5 Management Information System (MIS) and Accounting Information System (AIS)
The starting point in developing an MIS is to determine what information the MFI needs to perform well. Thatmeans defining the needs of different users of information. Good information provided in a useful form on a timelybasis empowers all the stakeholders in the institution- donors, investors, regulators, clients, other institutions,board members, executive management, the accounting department, the credit department, branch managers,field staff, and all other staff- to participate meaningfully in the institution. MIS is one of the most critical but leastunderstood elements of a successful MFI. The AIS is one of the two parts of an MFIs MIS. A good informationsystem can transform an organization. Aspects that need to be considered are:
Adequate MIS formats Correct and proper use of the MIS formats Hierarchy in Reporting System Ageing of delinquent loan Double Entry and Accrual Accounting System

Proper recording of default loan recovered
5.6 Internal audit
Internal auditing is an independent appraisal function established within MFIs which examines and evaluates its
activities as a service to the organization. Internal auditing is essential for ensuring the operation and
appropriateness of controls (therefore essential for good management), but frequently neglected for financial
reasons. It is unwise to be dogmatic about the detailed responsibilities of internal auditors, as these will vary a
great deal between MFIs and even through time for the same entities. Responsibilities might include:
Evaluating the effectiveness of internal controls Ensuring the reliability and integrity of financial management system of record keeping and reporting Ensuring safeguard of assets Promoting orderly, economical, efficient, and effective operations and quality products and servicesconsistent with the organization's mission; Ensuring adherence to laws, regulations, and management directives; and
5.7 The Management LetterExternal Auditing gives scope to evaluate internal controls system of MFIs which is reported through the
Management Letter. This is at times called theWeakness Letter. The objectives of this letter are :
To identify any weaknesses in the internal control.
To suggest adequate accounting control To suggest improvements in existing internal controls.
6.0 STEPS FOR DESIGNING INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM
64 | P a g e

65/112
Once an MFIs management identifies its sources of risk, it can design measures for an effective system of internal
controls. There are five basic steps in the design of an internal control system.
Step 1: Define and describe the objective of the internal control system in the operative context of the MFI by
using the performance standards benchmark.
Step 2: Describe the system: list services offered, include a flow chart of operations, detail organizationalstructure and procedures, provide a chart of accounts, and specify staff positions and responsibilities. Particular
attention should be paid to the guidelines for inspection and internal auditing.
Step 3: Determine tasks that need crosschecks or verifications to prevent error or fraud, and separate them, for
example, collections, payments and recording of such transactions.
Step 4: Create an annual work plan to implement the internal control system delegating assignments among staff.
Step 5: Organize the internal control system so that each step is linked with some detailed control documents that
are cross-checked by an assigned person or team.
