The Company in its present shape was formed on March 30, 1989 following a series
of mergers of three pioneering companies, namely Sui Gas Transmission Company
Limited, Karachi Gas Company Limited and Indus Gas Company Limited.
Sui Gas Transmission Company Limited was formed in 1954 with the primary
responsibility of gas purification at the Sui field in Balochistan and its transmission to
the consumption centres at Karachi. Two distribution companies were established in
1955 and were responsible for the distribution of gas to consumers in Karachi and in
other towns along the route of the transmission pipeline between Sui and Karachi. In
1985, these two distribution companies were merged to form Southern Gas
Company Limited and later, in 1989, Southern Gas Company Limited and Sui Gas
Transmission Company Limited were merged to form the Sui Southern Gas
Company Limited.

the largest integrated natural gas transmission and distribution companies in
Pakistan, serving the entire Southern region of the country, comprising the provinces
of Sindh and Balochistan.3

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Methodology is a major component of any research report which enables to
choose the right techniques and tools for the collection of data and analysis of
data in order to get the accurate results. It is vital element for research and
provides in-depth details of chosen strategies and tools for gathering and
analysing data.
The aim of this topic is to emphasize and validate the methods and line of actions used in
conducting this report. The topic includes the explanation of various stages of data
collection methods used in obtaining primary and secondary data.
Data Collection Methods:
Data collection is the central part of any research, which requires an effective planning.
There are two generic classification of data on which research project design depends,
one is primary, and the next one is secondary, so I have chosen the strategy to gather data
from the previous work done (secondary data) and gathered (Primary) data myself, which
is beneficial for this project, and was not available.
Primary Data Collection
Primary data is that kind of data which is required to research purpose, but not collected
before, so that first-hand data which collected by self called primary data.
Primary data can be collected by one, or combination of more than one method, such as
observation, experimentation, interviews and questionnaires. Whereas choosing of
method to collect the primary data depend on the nature of research report. I chooses the
method of primary data collection for this report, are the combination of in-depth
interviews and questionnaire.

Secondary Data Collection
Secondary method of data collection includes the piece of work which is being already
used for some other purpose or work. In secondary data collection we have the facility to
use data which may be available on desk. Major sources of secondary data collection used
in this research report, collected through the internal sources of SSGC, which was in the
form of printed material, that includes reports of sale, price lists, consumption and market
share, segment wise data, operation and finance documents, and others which required
time to time, another sources for data collection was external sources, like public
information and governmental statistics figures, news, electronic media, and technology,
like search engines electronics journals, books, and websites.
Limitation of the Study
Following limitations hamper research report work:
Time constraints
Limited resources
Limited access of data, and instrument in SSGC House.
Confidential information (ambiguity of answers)
Language barriers
Inaccuracy in response

FIXED ASSETS & CAPITAL BUDGET PROCESS
FUNCTION
To maintain and control the fixed asset of the company
Working of Fixed Asset:
Budget Proposal
The budget section of finance department prepares capital expenditure budgets
annually for all the department of SSGCL. Whenever a budget is to be prepared for
any department, the budget section notifies the department to prepare list of assets
required by them & forward it to the budget section. On receiving the requirements,
the budget team examines it & discusses all particulars with the related head of
department & staff giving special consideration to the justification of fixed asset
requirement & funds available with the company.
At this stage, the budget team may reduce the requirements of fixed assets of the
department, which may be considered to be necessary as that may be defined to
latter period.
The budget [in the form of budget proposal] is now sent to GM & SGM for its
approval/changes which may be made by them & finally to the M.D for its approval
the case of transmission project which exceeds Rs.100 million approval is then
sought from the government by filing PC-1 form & after its approval , same
procedure is followed for others.
When the budgets for all the departments have been finalized and approved by MD,
then agenda is prepared by budget section, which is reviewed by finance committee,
the board of directors’ grants approval to the agenda and now the budgets are
authorized to be followed.
Each department is now intimated through inter departmental note (along with a

Fixed Asset purchasing process:
In order to purchase an asset, fixed asset requisition (FAR) is required to be filed
by concerned department, which should be approved by the head of that
department. FAR contains details of assets required by the department.
The FAR is now forwarded to Procurement department, where Deputy Manager
checks whether the FAR falls within the budget. The procurement department invites
quotations through tender (if not available in store) and on the basis of commercial
and technical evaluation and lowest bidders, a supplier is selected (all such
procedures documented in Evaluation Report) and then Purchase order (PO) is
prepared and sent to supplier.
All assets are received by the KT stores department, where quality inspection is
conducted (however not documented) and then a Material Receiving Statement
(MRS) is generated and a copy of which is forwarded to the finance department.
Following entry is generated:
Inventory receiving account xxx
AP accrual account xxx
On delivery of asset to the concern department, following entry is generated:

Depreciation and Adjustment Process
Once an asset has been capitalized, working for its depreciation starts. Full year
depreciation is charged for the first year regardless of its purchase data. The
company uses the straight line method of depreciating except for meter plant, where
reducing balance method is used. Depreciation rates differ for different assets. It
even differs for same assets in different cities.
In the certain situation we call for making adjustments e.g. transfer of an asset from
one unit to another, different between assets in books and its physical existence etc.
Retirement of the Asset
After the completion of life of asset which is fixed by company we retire it. 1st the
Assets Retirement Requisition (ARA) is prepared by the user department and it is
sent to the fixed asset section of finance to retire that asset. The company SSGC’s
follows certain policies for the retire of asset e.g. only those asset which have a zero
book value can be retired. After checking the book value the inspection team is to be
formulated. That inspection team inspects the asset, which is to be retired for
verification of the condition of the asset. After inspection the report sent to the fixed
asset section along with ARA. It is approved / disapproved on the basis of inspection
report by GM, DGM and MD. After approval the asset sent to store at Karachi
Terminal (KT) for disposal. In case an employee of the company buys it, it is sold on
written down value or at 7.5% of its cost, whichever is higher. And some old assets,
which are fully scraped and not present physically, are deleted from the books
through approval of the management.10

Store Dealings:
Store accounting is based on meaning average basis. Each item has been allotted
index number according to the description and specification of material. Store index
is based on seven digits having fields of 00/00/000. 1st 2 digits denote main section
to whom material is to be sent e.g. HO, Trans, MMP, etc. 2nd 2 digits denote sub
section e.g. Finance in HO etc. 3rd 3 digits denote serial no of item like as Printing
Paper, Pen, Pipes etc. Stores system is based on the following store documents:
1. Material Receiving Statement
Foreign Receiving Statement.
Local Receiving Statement
2. Material Requisition
3. Inter Store Stock Transfer
4. Material Return Voucher
5. Adjustment Memo
Store accounting is based on above store documents for generation of cost of

Purpose of Store Document:
1. Material Receiving Statement
When the material is received in the store department by the supplier or the
company the store department sends two receipts 1st for supplier or respected
department and 2nd for store section for maintaining the record and controls it.
That receipt is known as Material Receiving Statement. If the material is supplied
from abroad in that case the Foreign Receiving Statement is issued and in the
case of local supplier the Local Receiving Statement is issued. When the receipt
is received by the store section from the store department the store section check
R/S number, date of issue, delivery challan / invoice no: Supplier name and
address, index number, description, units, and quantity (ordered, received, and
balance) through ERP that the received material is present at store department or
not. After confirmation the receipt is put into records.

Budget Planning Process:
Cost &Budget is one of the hub section of finance department. This section is
indispensable because planning & cost both are the backbone of every successful
organization and this section is first and foremost responsible for the budget
planning. Budget planning begins before the distribution of budget for the new fiscal
year. The SSGC provide the authority to every department to make their budget like
wise, it means department wise and it is controlled and maintained by the cost and
budget section in finance department. The 1st step of budget scheduling is
“Proposal”. This section send proposal to every department of company in order to
know the requisite budget by the departments. Every department suggest their
required budget for the new fiscal year along with the details where they want to
spend budget and send the proposal back to cost & budget section. The section

Then this section brings together these proposals according to organizations wise
and sends these proposals to the board for the approval. The board makes
necessary changes and approves the compiled budget and report will send to every
department. And approved proposals are loaded in ERP system (Oracle Financial).
The budget is to be made according to year wise but it is issued quarter wise. After
that we are uploading the budget.
The process of uploading budget is shown below:
Uploading Budgets:
Usually budget is uploaded using Application Desktop Integrator (ADI). ADI allows
the user to create and modify budget in an Excel spreadsheet which can then be
uploaded to Oracle General Ledger.
For maintaining security, the people of the respective department are provided with
their own user ids and password. Access is allowed only to limited individuals
For uploading the budget we first need to select the journal type i.e. budgeted journal
and the numbers of Journal

Before any data can be uploaded, the sheet needs to be made unprotected first by
selecting the “Unprotect Sheet” option from the tools menu.
While viewing the budget worksheet that we want to upload, we have to choose
Upload to Interface from the Ledger icon in the ADI toolbar. After that decide whether
to upload All Rows or Flagged Rows (those marked with Y).

Start the budget upload process by selecting one of the following options
Start if no errors in upload
Start regardless of errors
Choose the ok icon to initiate the process When the process completes the system
will notify of the completion status.
After the uploading of budgets, these are checked to make sure that budgets are
correctly allocated in their accounts. After having complete satisfaction the cost &
budget section release or allocate the budgets in the accounts of every department.
Release of budgets completes the process of budget allocation. In the new fiscal
year the departments perform their activities and incur expenses. The expenses are
debited in the accounts causing the budget accounts credit.14

Additional Budget & Re-appropriation:
This Re-appropriation form will use due to shortfall in budget or the departments
spend their budget before the specified period or that project is not mentioned in
their budget for whom they are sending the requisition. In order to solve this problem
which are occurred due to shortfall in budget, 1st the required department sends the
appeal for Additional Budget or Re-appropriation to CFO for approval of required
material. After the approval from CFO they sent that request to cost and budget
section for further procedure.
The cost and budget section checks that from which department the required
department to take budget and also checks that is that department budget is
available or not and also check the required department is really needed for that
material or not.
After checking and confirmed these things the cost and budget section transfer the
budget from the required department is needed through ERP.
