Financial performance analysis of GSK with a comparison to few of the leading pharmaceutical companies of Bangladesh

Abstract

The internship report is made on financial performance comparison among GSK, Square and Beximco. The report includes the process of reviewing and evaluating company’s financial statements, because without this the ratio analysis, vertical and horizontal analysis cannot be done. Ratio analysis mainly calculates the statistical relationships between data. The ratio analysis helps an organization to understand performance on the last fiscal year which further helps them to take decisions in future. I have selected this topic after consulting with my academic supervisor. The beginning part of my report contains the brief introduction of the selected company and the objectives, scope, methodology and limitations of the study. In the second part, I have covered the detailed background of the company such as the history, global network, mission & strategy, the organizational structure, market position and an overview of its operations. In the third part, I have shared my internship experience at Finance & Accounts Department of GlaxoSmithKline, Bangladesh Ltd. In this part, I have described my observation and understanding about the organization including my responsibilities and working experiences. Then starts the main analysis part of my report where I have done vertical, horizontal, comparative and ratio analysis of consecutive five years. Here, I have presented the result and according to the result, I have interpreted the financial condition of Square, Beximco and GSK Bangladesh Ltd. In the next part, I have discussed some recommendations that will help GSK to strengthen their financial base more. Lastly, I have come up with a brief conclusion and necessary references.
