PTCL REPORT

The development of skills to perform well in professional life has become a dire need of every Business Graduate. The very purpose, of research is to acquaint the business graduate with empirical business practices. As a compulsory requirement of Professional Degree in Business Administration, I opted to write a research report on Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited, to fulfill my degree requirement. My reason for choosing PTCL was to enhance my skills in Management Finance, so as to provide myself the opportunity to cope with real life situation. I pay my gratitude to all my teachers, senior staff members of IMS and all my colleagues. Deep gratitude is extended to Mr. Habib (Assistant Accounts Officer, PTCL Head Quarters). I am also thankful to other members of Corporate Tax System Systems Department (CTSS) who gave me guidance during my internship. I am indebted to Dr. Mohsin who proved to be more than a supervisor, whose guidance enabled me to write this report. His wisdom, kind considerations, and unique insights were invaluable and her real world experience added an extra advantage to my report.
