Introduction
Business records are those created through the operation of a business, company or
organisation, ranging from one or two people working from their home to large national
corporations employing hundreds or thousands of people. The contribution that recruiting and
retaining suitable staff can make to the organization's performance is examined. The importance of
managing the organization's physical and technological resources efficiently is also explored. In this
report Sainsbury has been chosen for the further discussion. For an organisation to survive its
finances need to be sound and secure. The second part of the unit explores the sources of financial
resources available to organisations. The level of an organisation’s performance can be seen in its
financial statements. The unit aims to develop knowledge and understanding of the financial
statements and it underpins other financial units in the qualification ( Busse, 2014).
TASK 1
P1- Describe the recruitment documentation used in a selected organisation
Job Advertisement – It is a notice that jobs put out for the public to see to inform them of a job
vacancy of Sainsbury PLC they have open. It includes the job title, requirements, what makes a
suitable candidate and responsibilities. The purpose of this is to promote the job vacancy they have
open and to inform people of what they need to have to be a suitable candidate and make sure
people who apply do actually fill the needs for the jobs ( Cassar, Ittner and Cavalluzzo, 2015).
Job Description – A job description explains what skills employees need to have to get a certain
job. It explains limitations and skills which are needed for the job and the duties and responsibilities
that the employee will have if they get the job. The purpose of this is to inform the candidate of
what they will be doing if they get the job and what they need to do the job.
Person Specification – This is an expansion of the job description. This outlines the training
requirements, grades and personal qualifications of the individual to actually be considered for the
job. This is all about skills and the purpose of this is to outline clearly to candidates what they must
have to get the job ( De Massis and Kotlar, 2015.).

P2- Describe the main employability, personal and communication skills required when
applying for a specific job role
Employ ability Skill: Employability skills are those skills necessary for getting, keeping and being
successful in a job. They are the skills and attitudes that enable employees to get along with their
colleagues, to make critical decisions, solve problems, develop respect and ultimately become
strong ambassadors for the organisation( Ehnert, Harry and Zink, eds., 2013.).
Communication skill: Employers look for people who communicate well both verbally and in
writing. The ability to Sainsbury PLC communicate both verbally and in writing with a wide variety
of people, maintain good eye contact, write clearly and succinctly, demonstrate a varied vocabulary
and tailor your language to your audience are all essential skills that employers seek out. Good
verbal and written communication means you can get your messages across with less chance of
misunderstanding.
Personal skill: Personal skills are things we are good at - our strengths, abilities, and attributes.
This lesson gives an in-depth definition and examples that will help you better understand your own
selling points( Fréry and et.al.,2015. ).
TASK 2
P3- Describe the main physical and technological resources required in the operation of a
selected organisation
Every business needs resources, whether Sainsbury PLC people, money, suppliers, or time.
The physical resources include tangible items that are necessary and available for a business to
function. These are items that take space, have a value, and are used in the operation of the
company. ( Karim and Capron, 2016. )
Physical resources are necessary for all types of business. Product-based businesses use
physical resources for providing the goods for sale and for the operation of the business. Service-
based businesses use physical resources to facilitate the delivery of the service, such as having a
space to work, tools that are needed for the service, and resources used to support the service.
Materials
Materials that are resources are raw goods that will be used in the production of other
products. For a kitchen supply factory, an example of a material is metal; something to shape and
mold into forks, knives, and spoons. The cutlery is then a product that is sold in retail stores. (
Mariotti and Glackin, 2014. )
Buildings and Facilities

The physical building you work in is a part of the physical resources of a company. Whether
the space is owned or rented, it is used for the purpose of operating your business. By having this
space available, you are able to complete your work. There are some occasions when the building
and facilities are the revenue generators of the business. ( Scholes, 2015. )
TASK 3
P4- Describe sources of internal and external finance for a selected business
Internal sources of finance
Retained profits:
Companies can increase funds by retaining profits and not distributing them as dividends.
The shareholders deprived of capital will expect retained profits to be invested to achieve a
competitive rate of return. Most big businesses retain 50% of profits to fund expansion.
Reduce inventories:
Purchase and storage costs use revenue that could otherwise be used to expand the business.
However, when reducing inventories enterprises should be careful to retain the capacity to meet
future demand. ( Sharda, Delen and Turban, 2013.)
External sources of finance
Ordinary shares:
Under this arrangement, Sainsbury PLC raise capital by selling stock in their business. This
entitles the purchaser to a voice in the decisions made by the firm. While ordinary shares do not
have a fixed rate of dividend (a share of company profits) from profits after current liabilities and
other investors are services, not paying them can diminish share value. A business will avoid this if
they hope to issue shares in the future. ( Zikmund and et.al., 2013. )
Preference shares
Preferential shareholders receive dividends before individuals with ordinary shares. Their
lower risk and lower levels of return mean that preference shares have a less volatile market price.
These have lost popularity since, while they are alike borrowings in many other aspects, dividend
payments are not tax deductible.
Term loan:
Financial institutions provide negotiable loans in which the rate of interest, repayment dates
and security for the capital offered must be agreed. Because they are commonplace, this option is

easy to set up and has a degree of flexibility. At the same time, borrowed capital often comes with
obligations and restrictions known as ‘loan covenants’.
TASK 4
P5- Interpret the contents of a trading and profit and loss account and balance sheet for a
selected company
Trading account is a part of final accounts prepared by a business firm which shows gross
profitability of business activities during a particular period. In other words, trading account shows
total sales, total purchases and all direct expenses relating to purchase and sales.
Contents of Trading Account:- A Trading Account shows the following details:-
Opening Stock of raw material, semi-finished goods and finished goods.
Closing Stock of raw material, semi-finished goods and finished goods.
Purchases of goods Less Purchase Returns
Sales of goods Less Sales Returns
All direct expenses which are directly related to purchases or sales or manufacturing of goods.
Profit & Loss Account is part of final accounts, prepared by a business firm to know the net
profit of the business activities during a particular period.
Contents of Profit and Loss Account:- A Profit and Loss Account shows the following details:-
Gross profit or gross loss brought forward from the Trading account.
All indirect incomes
All indirect expenditures
Net profit.
A balance sheet is a financial report that provides a summary of a business's position at a
given point in time, including its assets (economic resources), its liabilities (financial debts or
obligations), and its total or net worth ( Zolnowski, Weiß and Bohmann, 2014).
Contents of the balance sheet:-
Most of the contents of a business's balance sheet are classified under one of three
categories: assets, liabilities, and owner equity. Some balance sheets, though, also include a "notes"
section wherein relevant information that does not fit under any of the above accounting categories
is included. Information that might be included in the notes section would include mentions of
pending lawsuits that might impact future liabilities or changes in the business's accounting
practices.

P6 use of budgets as a means of exercising financial control of a selected company
Running a business often requires owners to carefully plan and review their finances. Most
companies use some form of accounting for identifying, measuring, analyzing and reporting their
financial information. Accounting tools may include budgeting, financial statements, forecasts and
other tools for managing financial information. Business budgets for maybe one of the most
important accounting tools of company may use in their business. ( Zolnowski, Weiß and
Bohmann, 2014).
There are many management uses for budgets. For example, budgets are used to:
Control income and expenditure (the traditional use)
Establish priorities and set targets in numerical terms
Provide direction and co-ordination, so that business objectives can be turned into practical
reality
Assign responsibilities to budget holders (managers) and allocate resources
Communicate targets from management to employees
Motivate staff
Improve efficiency
Monitor performance
P7 Financial state of a given business
Financial statements for businesses usually include income statements, balance
sheets, statements of retained earnings and cash flows.
