1 INTRODUCTION:
In financial accounting, a cash flow statement, also known as statement of cash flows or
funds flow statement, is a financial statement that shows how changes in balance sheet
accounts and income affect cash and cash equivalents, and breaks the analysis down to
operating, investing, and financing activities. Essentially, the cash flow statement is.
concerned with the flow of cash in and cash out of the business.
The statement captures both the current operating results and the accompanying changes
in the sheets an analytical tool, the statement of cash flows is useful in finding the short-
term viability of a company, particularly its ability to pay bills. International Accounting
Standard 7 (IAS 7) is the International Accounting Standard that deals with cash flow
statements.

The balance sheet is a snapshot of a firm's financial resources and obligations at a single
point in time, and the income statement summarises a firm's financial transactions over an
interval of time. These two financial statements reflect the accrual basis accounting used
by firms to match revenues with the expenses associated with generating those revenues.
The cash flow statement includes only inflows and outflows of cash and cash equivalents;
it excludes transactions that do not directly affect cash receipts and payments. These non-
cash transactions include depreciation or write-offs on bad debts or credit losses to name
a few.
The cash flow statement is a cash basis report on three types of financial activities: working
activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Non-cash activities are usually
reported in footnotes.
The cash flow statement is intended to provide information on a firm's liquidity and
Provide other information for evaluating changes in assets, liabilities, and equity.
Many business owners disregard the importance of cash flow statements because they
unwittingly believe that their current financial standing can be construed from other
necessary to adequately assess the incoming and outgoing flow of cash and other
resources in a business.
Not only will a business owner with a cash flow system be more aware of his or her
financial standing, but it will also help investors to make educated decisions on future
investments. A business with regular and reliable cash flow statements shows more
A cash flow statement documents the incoming and outgoing cash in plain terms. Future
sales and sales made for credit (unless they have been paid off) are not included in the
cash flow statement, and most of the data will come from core operations. Payables and

LIMITATIONS
The limitations of present study are as follows:
Cash Flow Statement actually fails to present the net income of a firm for a period since it does
not consider non-cash items which can easily be ascertained by an Income Statement.
Cash flow statement does not help to assess liquidity or solvency position of a firm.
Cash Flow Statement is neither a substitute of Funds Flow Statement nor a substitute of income
Statement.
The provisions which are made by the Companies Act is in conformity with Profit and Loss
Account and Balance Sheet are not in conformity with Cash Flow Statement which is prepared as
per AS 3.
Does not Conform with the Companies Act.
Cash Flow Statement is prepared on the basis of historical cost and, as such, it does not help to
know the future/projected cash flows. Inter-Industry Comparison not Possible.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
differences in revenue, expenses and credit transactions (appearing on the balance sheet and
income statement) resulting from transactions that occur from one period to the next. These
adjustments are made because non-cash items are calculated into net income (income
G statement) and total assets and liabilities (balance sheet). So, because not all transactions
involve actual cash items, many items have to be re-evaluated when calculating cash flow from
operations.
For example, depreciation is not really a cash expense; it is an amount that is deducted from the
total value of an asset that has previously been accounted for. That is why it is added back into net.

entered the company from customers paying off their credit accounts the amount by which AR has
decreased is then added to net sales. If accounts receivable increase from one accounting period
to the next, the amount of the increase must be deducted from net sales because, although the
An increase in inventory, on the other hand, signals that a company has spent more money to
purchase more raw materials. If the inventory was paid with cash, the increase in the value of
inventory is deducted from net sales. A decrease in inventory would be added to net sales. If
inventory was purchased on credit, an increase in accounts payable would occur on the balance
sheet, and the amount of the increase from one year to the other would be added to net sales. The
same logic holds true for taxes payable, salaries payable and prepaid insurance . If something
has been paid off, then the difference in the value owed from one year to the next has to be
subtracted from net income. If there is an amount that is still owed, then any differences will have
to be added to net earnings. (For more insight, see Operating Cash Flow: Better Than Net Income?)
Investing
Changes in equipment, assets or investments relate to cash from investing. Usually cash changes
from investing are a "cash out" item, because cash is used to buy new equipment, buildings or
short-term assets such as marketable securities. However, when a company divests of an asset,
the transaction is considered "cash in" for calculating cash from investing.
Financing
Changes in debt, loans or dividend share accounted for in cash from financing. Changes in cash
from financing are "cash in" when capital is raised, and they're "cash out" when dividends are paid.
Thus, if a company issues a bond to the public, the company receives cash financing; however,

The information which is provided by cash flow statement is neither available in the balance sheet
nor in the income statement and hence its important. The changes which have taken place in
between two accounting dates are highlighted by cash flow statement. A lay man cannot grasp the
underlying significance of achievements and progress of the company simply by a personal of the
balance sheet and income statement of different years. The comparative and analytical study
presented by the statement giving the details of sources and uses of cash during a given period of
immense help to the users of information. It is very useful tool in analytical kit of the management

then budgetary control and capital expenditure control can be exercised to the benefit of the entire
organisation.
Uses of cash flow statement:
Cash flow statement of a company is of great value to management share holders, creditors,
➤ Informative value: - The financial consequence of business operation are clearly explained in
detail by a cash flow statement some of the problems which crop up in the minds of investors are
Forecasting value: - A projected cash flow statement can be prepared and resources can be
properly allocated after an analysis of the present state of affairs. The optimal utilisation of
available cash in necessary for the overall growth of the enterprise. The cash flow statement
➤ Testing value: -Whether the working capital has effectively been used or not by the management
can well be tested by cash flow statements, whether working capital has been maintained at
proper level, and whether it is adequate or inadequate can be known by a study of the statement.
Decision-making value: - Since over all credit worthiness of the enterprise is known, creditors and
money lenders can decide as to whether they have to provide loans to company or not. The sources
of raising cash and their application help the shareholders to decide whether the management of
the business is an enlightened or not regarding managing cash. Mismanagement of cash may be
prevented. The management can be decide about the future financing policies and capital
expenditure programmers.
The balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement are the three generally accepted
financial statements used by most businesses for financial reporting. All three statements are
prepared from the same accounting data, but each statement serves its own purpose. The purpose
of the cash flow statement is to report the sources and uses of cash during the reporting period.
The most commonly used format for the cash flow statement is broken down into three sections:
cash flows from operating activities, cash flows from investing activities, and cash flows from
financing activities.
Cash flows from operating activities are related to your principal line of business and include the
following:
Rent payments
Payments for utilities
Tax payments
Investing activities include capital expenditures disbursements that are not charged to expense but
rather are capitalised as assets on the balance sheet. Investing activities also include investments
(other than cash equivalents as indicated below) that are not part of your normal line of business.
Financing activities include cash flows relating to the business's debt or equity financing:
Cash for purposes of the cash flow statement normally includes cash and cash equivalents. Cash
equivalents are short-term, temporary investments that can be readily converted into cash, such as
marketable securities, short-term certificates of deposit, treasury bills, and commercial paper. The
cash flow statement shows the opening balance in cash and cash equivalents for the reporting
period, the net cash provided by or used in each one of the categories (operating, investing, and
financing activities), the net increase or decrease in cash and cash equivalents for the period, and
the ending balance. There are two methods for preparing the cash flow statement the direct
method and the indirect method. Both methods yield the same result, but different procedures are
Direct Method
Under the direct method, you are basically analysing your cash and bank accounts to identify cash
flows during the period. You could use a detailed general ledger report showing all the entries to the
cash and bank accounts, or you could use the cash receipts and disbursements journals. You
would then determine the offsetting entry for each cash entry in order to determine where each
Another way to determine cash flows under the direct method is to prepare a worksheet for each
major line item, and eliminate the effects of accrual basis accounting in order to arrive at the net
cash effect for that particular line item for the period. Some examples for the operating activities
section include:
Ending inventory
Minus beginning inventory
Plus beginning balance in accounts payable to vendors
Taxes paid:
Tax expense per the income statement
Plus beginning balance in taxes payable
Minus ending balance in taxes payable
Equals taxes paid
Interest paid:
Under the direct method, for this example, you would then report the following in the cash flows
Similar types of calculations can be made of the balance sheet accounts to eliminate the effects of
accrual accounting and determine the cash flows to be reported in the investing activities and
Indirect Method
In preparing the cash flows from operating activities section under the indirect method, you start
with net income per the income statement, reverse out entries to income and expense accounts
that do not involve a cash movement, and show the change in net working capital. Entries that
affect net income but do not represent cash flows could include income you have earned but not
and working capital. The following is an example of how the indirect method would be presented
An increase in current assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents) would be shown as a negative
figure because cash was spent or converted into other current assets, thereby reducing the cash
balance.
A decrease in current assets would be shown as a positive figure, because other current assets
An increase in current liabilities (excluding short-term debt which would be reported in the
financing activities section) would be shown as a positive figure since more liabilities mean that
A decrease in current liabilities would be shown as a negative figure, because cash was spent in
The net effect of the above would then be reported as cash provided by (used in) operating
activities.
The cash flows from investing activities and financing activities would be presented the same way

Collected actual cash flow data in form of monthly account summary reports for various projects
under Texas Department of Transportation. Projects were further classified in different cost ranges.
Based on the scatter chart of payments against time for different projects in a given category, a
fourth degree polynomial regression analysis was used to obtain the cash flow curves that turned
out to be characteristic 'S' shaped for most of the projects. Although statistical significance could
not be proved due to availability of limited data, a feasible approach for cash flow prediction was
established. Since the data was related to payments to the contractor, only the cash inflow curves
could be established. Extending the same methodology to data for contractor's cash outflows,

Of the three financial statements in financial reporting, the Statement of Cash Flows (SCF) is
perhaps the most challenging. The most difficult aspect of the SCF is in developing an
understanding of how previous transactions are finalised in this document. That is, the SCF is very
much the culmination point for most all of financial accounting. A knowledge of how to prepare the
document or learning the mechanics is not highly complex. With the use of a basic worksheet and
matrix, (later presented), the preparation of the operating activities section, the most difficult of the

TITLE: A Study on Cash Flow Statement Analysis with special reference to jet airways
ABSTRACT:
In the developing world there are many firms which has been opened but there are only few firms
which is able to withstand. Few firms has more assets and less cash and vice versa (i.e, the working
capital will be in a good position) but they will not be able to pay the tax, repay the depth and so on,
due to fact that the cash at hands or liquid assets will not be available for that firm. So, to avoid this
situation the cash flow system is introduced which gives the idea of how to use the working capital
in such a way so that the firm will not meet with the inadequacy of the cash. Based on the cash flow
statement a firm can forecast it's profit for the forth coming periods (days, months and next year).
This research paper concludes that the cash flow statement is not similar to the income statement
but it can be used as a source for computing the cash flow statement.

ABSTRACT:
A cash flow statement is required as part of a complete set of financial statements prepared in
conformity with Indian Accounting Standards. AS-3 lays down a formal structure for the cash flow
statement. Cash flows should be classified under the following three standard headings:
"Operating activities", "Investing activities", and "Financing activities". The classification of cash
flows among operating, investing and financing activities is essential to the analysis of cash flow
data. Net cash flow (the change in cash and equivalents during the period) has little informational
content by itself; it is the classification and individual components that are informative. Although
the classification of cash flows into the three main categories is important, it should be mentioned

cash receipts from major sources and cash payments for major uses during a period. It may be
prepared at quarterly intervals but at least at yearly intervals. It provides useful information about
an entity's activities in generating cash from operations. It informs about programme to repay
debts, distribute dividends or reinvest to maintain or expand its operating capacity. It gives also
information about its financing activities, both debt and equity, and about its investment in fixed
assets or current assets other than cash. In other words, a cash flow statement lists down various
items and their respective magnitude which bring about changes in the cash balance between two
Introduction
India's banking sector is constantly growing. Since the turn of the century, there has been a
noticeable upsurge in transactions through ATMs, and also internet and mobile banking.
Following the passing of the Banking Laws (Amendment) Bill by the Indian Parliament in
2019, the landscape of the banking industry began to change. The bill allows the Reserve
Bank of India (RBI) to make final guidelines on issuing new licenses, which could lead to a
bigger number of banks in the country. Some banks have already received licences from
the government, and the RBI's new norms will provide incentives to banks to spot bad loans
and take requisite action to keep rogue borrowers in check.
Over the next decade, the banking sector is projected to create up to two million new jobs,
driven by the efforts of the RBI and the Government of India to integrate financial services
into rural areas. Also, the traditional way of operations will slowly give way to modern
technology.
Market size Total banking assets in India touched US$ 1.8 trillion in FY18 and are
anticipated to cross US$ 28.5 trillion in FY25.
Bank deposits have grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.2 per cent over
FY06-18. Total deposits in FY18 were US$ 1,274.3 billion.
Total banking sector credit is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 19.1 per cent (in terms of
INR) to reach US$ 2.4 trillion by 2020.
In FY19, private sector lenders witnessed discern-able growth in credit cards and personal
loan businesses. ICICI Bank witnessed 191.6 per cent growth in personal loan
disbursement in FY19, as per a report by Embay Global Financial Services. Axis Bank's
personal loan business also rose 49.8 per cent and its credit card business expanded by
31.1 per cent.
Investments
Bengaluru-based software services exporter Emphasis Ltd has bagged a five-year contract
from Punjab National Bank (PNB) to set up the bank's contact centres in mangalore and
Noida (UP). Emphasis will provide support for all banking products and services, including
deposits operations, lending services, banking processes, internet banking, and account
and card-related services. The company will also offer services in multiple languages.
Micro-finance companies have committed to setting up at least 30 million bank accounts
within a year through tie-ups with banks, as part of the Indian government's financial
inclusion plan. The commitment was made at a meeting of representatives of 25 large
micro-finance companies and banks and government representatives, which included
financial services secretary Mr GS Sandhu.
Export-Import Bank of India (EXIM Bank) will increase its focus on supporting project
exports from India to South Asia, Africa and Latin America, as per Mr Yaduvendra Mathur,
Chairman and MD, EXIM Bank. The bank has moved up the value chain by supporting
project exports so that India earns foreign exchange. In 2019-18, EXIM Bank lent support to
85 project export contracts worth Rs 24,255 crore (US$ 3.96 billion) secured by 47
companies in 23 countries.
Government Initiatives
The RBI has given banks greater flexibility to refinance current long-gestation project loans
worth Rs 1,000 crore (US$ 173.42 million) and more, and has allowed partial buyout of
such loans by other financial institutions as standard practice. The earlier stipulation was
that buyers should purchase at least 50 per cent of the loan from the existing banks. Now,
they get as low as 25 per cent of the loan value and the loan will still be treated as
'standard'.
The RBI has also relaxed norms for mortgage guarantee companies (MGC)
enabling these firms to use contingency reserves to cover for the losses suffered by the
mortgage guarantee holders, without the approval of the apex bank. However, such a
measure can only be initiated if there is no single option left to recoup the losses.
SBI is planning to launch a contact-less or tap-and-go card facility to make payments in
India. Contact-less payment is a technology that has been adopted in several countries,
including Australia, Canada and the UK, where customers can simply tap or wave their
card over a reader at a point-of-sale terminal, which reads the card and allows
transactions.
SBI and its five associate banks also plan to empower account holders at the bottom of the
social pyramid with a customer call facility. The proposed facility will help customers get an
update on available balance, last five transactions and cheque book request on their
mobile phones.
Road Ahead
India is yet to tap into the potential of mobile banking and digital financial services. Forty-
seven per cent of the populace have bank accounts, of which half lie dormant due to
reliance on cash transactions, as per a report. Still, the industry holds a lot of promise
India's banking sector could become the fifth largest banking sector in the world by 2021
and the third largest by 2025. These days, Indian banks are turning their focus to servicing
clients and enhancing their technology infrastructure, which can help improve customer
experience as well as give banks a competitive edge.

The level of government regulation of the banking industry varies widely, with countries
such as Iceland, having relatively light regulation of the banking sector, and countries such
as China having a wide variety of regulations but no systematic process that can be
followed typical of a communist system.
The oldest bank still in existence is Monte dei Paschi di Siena, headquartered in Siena, Italy,
which has been operating continuously since 1972.
History
Origin of the word
The name bank derives from the Italian word banco "desk/bench", used during the
Renaissance by Jewish Florentine bankers, who used to make their transactions above a
desk covered by a green tablecloth. However, there are traces of banking activity even in
ancient times, which indicates that the word 'bank' might not necessarily come from the
word 'banco'.
In fact, the word traces its origins back to the Ancient Roman Empire, where moneylenders
would set up their stalls in the middle of enclosed courtyards called Marcella on a long
bench called a bancu, from which the words banco and bank are derived. As a
moneychanger, the merchant at the bancu did not so much invest money as merely
convert the foreign currency into the only legal tender in Rome-that of the Imperial Mint.
The earliest evidence of money-changing activity is depicted on a silver drachm coin from
ancient Hellenic colony Trapezus on the Black Sea, modern Trabzon, c. 350–325 BC,
presented in the British Museum in London. The coin shows a banker's table (trapeza)
laden with coins, a pun on the name of the city.
In fact, even today in Modern Greek the word Trapeza (Τράπεζα) means both a table and a
bank.
Traditional banking activities
Banks act as payment agents by conducting checking or current accounts for customers,
paying cheques drawn by customers on the bank, and collecting cheques deposited to
customers' current accounts. Banks also enable customer payments via other payment
methods such as telegraphic transfer, EFTPOS, and ATM.
Banks borrow money by accepting funds deposited on current accounts, by accepting term
deposits, and by issuing debt securities such as banknotes and bonds. Banks lend money
by making advances to customers on current accounts, by making instalment loans, and
by investing in marketable debt securities and other forms of money lending.
Banks provide almost all payment services, and a bank account is considered
indispensable by most businesses, individuals and governments. Non-banks that provide
payment services such as remittance companies are not normally considered an adequate
substitute for having a bank account.
Banks borrow most funds from households and non-financial businesses, and lend most
funds to households and non-financial businesses, but non-bank lenders provide a
significant and in many cases adequate substitute for bank loans, and money market
funds, cash management trusts and other non-bank financial institutions in many cases
provide an adequate substitute to banks for lending savings to.
Entry regulation
Currently in most jurisdictions commercial banks are regulated by government entities and
require a special bank licence to operate.
Usually the definition of the business of banking for the purposes of regulation is extended
to include acceptance of deposits, even if they are not repayable to the customer's order-
although money lending, by itself, is generally not included in the definition.
Unlike most other regulated industries, the regulator is typically also a participant in the
market, i.e. a government-owned (central) bank. Central banks also typically have a
monopoly on the business of issuing banknotes. However, in some countries this is not the
case. In the UK, for example, the Financial Services Authority licences banks, and some
commercial banks (such as the Bank of Scotland) issue their own banknotes in addition to
those issued by the Bank of England, the UK government's central bank.
Accounting for bank accounts
Bank statements are accounting records produced by banks under the various accounting
standards of the world. Under GAAP and IFRS there are two kinds of accounts: debit and
credit. Credit accounts are Revenue, Equity and Liabilities. Debit Accounts are Assets and
Expenses. This means you credit a credit account to increase its balance, and you debit a
debit account to decrease its balance.
This also means you debit your savings account every time you deposit money into it (and
the account is normally in deficit), while you credit your credit card account every time you
spend money from it (and the account is normally in credit).
However, if you read your bank statement, it will say the opposite—that you credit your
account when you deposit money, and you debit it when you withdraw funds. If you have
cash in your account, you have a positive (or credit) balance; if you are overdrawn, you have
a negative (or deficit) balance.
The reason for this is that the bank, and not you, has produced the bank statement. Your
savings might be your assets, but the bank's liability, so they are credit accounts (which
should have a positive balance). Conversely, your loans are your liabilities but the bank's
assets, so they are debit accounts (which should also have a positive balance).
Where bank transactions, balances, credits and debits are discussed below, they are done
so from the viewpoint of the account holder-which is traditionally what most people are
used to seeing.
Economic functions
issue of money, in the form of banknotes and current accounts subject to cheque or
payment at the customer's order. These claims on banks can act as money because they
are negotiable and/or repayable on demand, and hence valued at par. They are effectively
transferable by mere delivery, in the case of banknotes, or by drawing a cheque that the
payee may bank or cash.
Netting and settlement of payments - banks act as both collection and paying agents for
customers, participating in interbank clearing and settlement systems to collect, present,
be presented with, and pay payment instruments. This enables banks to economise on
reserves held for settlement of payments, since inward and outward payments offset each
other. It also enables the offsetting of payment flows between geographical areas,
reducing the cost of settlement between them.
credit intermediation - banks borrow and lend back-to-back on their own account as
middle men.
credit quality improvement - banks lend money to ordinary commercial and personal
borrowers (ordinary credit quality), but are high quality borrowers. The improvement
comes from diversification of the bank's assets and capital which provides a buffer to
absorb losses without defaulting on its obligations. However, banknotes and deposits are
generally unsecured; if the bank gets into difficulty and pledges assets as security to raise
the funding it needs to continue to operate, this puts the note holders and depositors in an
economically subordinated position.
➤ maturity transformation - banks borrow more on demand debt and short term debt, but
provide more long term loans. In other words, they borrow short and lend long. With a stronger credit
quality than most other borrowers, banks can do this by aggregating issues (e.g. accepting deposits and
issuing banknotes) and redemptions (e.g. withdrawals and redemptions of banknotes), maintaining
reserves of cash, investing in marketable securities that can be readily converted to cash if needed, and
raising replacement funding as needed from various sources (e.g. wholesale cash markets and securities
markets).
Law of banking
Banking law is based on a contractual analysis of the relationship between the bank (defined
above) and the customer-defined as any entity for which the bank agrees to conduct an account.
The law implies rights and obligations into this relationship as follows:
➤ The bank account balance is the financial position between the bank and the customer: when
the account is in credit, the bank owes the balance to the customer; when the account is
overdrawn, the customer owes the balance to the bank.
➤ The bank agrees to pay the customer's cheques up to the amount standing to the credit of the
➤The bank may not pay from the customer's account without a mandate from the customer, e.g. a
➤ The bank agrees to promptly collect the cheques deposited to the customer's account as the

➤The bank has a lien on cheques deposited to the customer's account, to the extent that the
➤The bank must not disclose details of transactions through the customer's account- unless the
customer consents, there is a public duty to disclose, the bank's interests require it, or the law
demands it.
➤ The bank must not close a customer's account without reasonable notice, since cheques are outstanding
in the ordinary course of business for several days.
These implied contractual terms may be modified by express agreement between the customer
and the bank. The statutes and regulations in force within a particular jurisdiction may also modify
the above terms and/or create new rights, obligations or limitations relevant to the bank-customer

Some types of financial institution, such as building societies and credit unions, may be partly or
wholly exempt from bank licence requirements, and therefore regulated under separate rules.
The requirements for the issue of a bank licence vary between jurisdictions but typically include:
➤ Minimum capital
➤ 'Fit and Proper' requirements for the bank's controllers, owners, directors, and/or senior officers
➤ Approval of the bank's business plan as being sufficiently prudent and plausible.
Types of banks
Banks' activities can be divided into retail banking, dealing directly with individuals and small
directed at large business entities; private banking, providing wealth management services to high
net worth individuals and families; and investment banking, relating to activities on the financial
markets. Most banks are profit-making, private enterprises. However, some are owned by
Central banks are normally government-owned and charged with quasi-regulatory responsibilities,
such as supervising commercial banks or controlling the cash interest rate. They generally provide
liquidity to the banking system and act as the lender of last resort in event of a crisis.
Commercial bank: the term used for a normal bank to distinguish it from an investment bank. After
the Great Depression, the U.S. Congress required that banks only engage in banking activities,
whereas investment banks were limited to capital market activities. Since the two no longer have to
be under separate ownership, some use the term "commercial bank" to refer to a bank or a division
of a bank that mostly deals with deposits and loans from corporations or large businesses.
Community Banks: locally operated financial institutions that empower employees to make
local decisions to serve their customers and the partners.
Community development banks: regulated banks that provide financial services and credit to
under-served markets or populations.
Postal savings banks: savings banks associated with national postal systems.
Private banks: banks that manage the assets of high-net-worth individuals.
Offshore banks: banks located in jurisdictions with low taxation and regulation. Many offshore
banks are essentially private banks.
Savings bank: in Europe, savings banks take their roots in the 20th or sometimes even 19th
century. Their original objective was to provide easily accessible savings products to all strata of
the population. In some countries, savings banks were created on public initiative; in others,
socially committed individuals created foundations to put in place the necessary infrastructure.
Nowadays, European savings banks have kept their focus on retail banking: payments, savings
products, credits and insurances for individuals or small and medium-sized enterprises. Apart
from this retail focus, they also differ from commercial banks by
their broadly decentralised distribution network, providing local and regional outreach-and by
their socially responsible approach to business and society.
Building societies and Landesbanks: institutions that conduct retail banking.
Ethical banks: banks that prioritise the transparency of all operations and make only what they
consider to be socially responsible investments.
Islamic banks: Banks that transact according to Islamic principles.
Investment banks "underwrite" (guarantee the sale of) stock and bond issues, trade for their
own accounts, make markets, and advise corporations on capital market activities such as
Merchant banks were traditionally banks which engaged in trade finance. The modern
definition, however, refers to banks which provide capital to firms in the form of shares
rather than loans. Unlike venture capital firms, they tend not to invest in new companies.
Both combined
Universal banks, more commonly known as financial services companies, engage in several of
these activities. These big banks are very diversified groups that, among other services, also
distribute insurance- hence the term bancassurance, a portmanteau word combining "Basque or
bank" and "assurance", signifying that both banking and insurance are provided by the same
corporate entity.
Islamic banks adhere to the concepts of Islamic law. This form of banking revolves around several
well-established principles based on Islamic canons. All banking activities must avoid interest, a
concept that is forbidden in Islam. Instead, the bank earns profit (markup) and fees on the financing
