Suggestions on MBA Finance Project Report:

From the above my Management of Working Capital & Expense Analysis and interpretation the liquidity position of the company is satisfactory.  But the following suggestions are born as per my perception and my internal faculty guidance and company middle level authority do so, are as follows,

• Regarding the cash and bank balances of the current assets, it is observed that an optimum level of cash was not maintained in the company. The company should maintained always minimum levels of cash balances in future for meeting the working capital requirements.
• The company should take steps to reduce the debt equity ratio as per the requirements.
• The company should maintain high proprietary ratio as higher the ratio or the share of the shareholders in the total capital of the company better is the long-term solvency position of the company.
• The company’s gross profit position is increasing year by year. It should increased some more by increasing sales and reducing cost.
• The company is maintaining same levels of inventory for the period under study.
