Role summary.
The Assistant Manager - Internal Audit will plan and execute risk-based audits across the education loans portfolio (school/student loans), covering end-to-end lifecycle: sourcing, underwriting, documentation, disbursement, servicing, collections, and regulatory reporting, with an emphasis on control design, operating effectiveness, and credit process adherence for small to large ticket loans.
Objectives.
- Evaluate the adequacy and effectiveness of internal controls across the retail lending value chain for education loans, including credit appraisal, KYC, documentation, and post-disbursement monitoring.
- Verify process compliance with internal policies, regulatory guidelines, and product notes; identify gaps, quantify risk impact, and recommend control improvements.
- Detects process lapses, misrepresentation, or fraud indicators using sampling, walkthroughs, and data testing; ensure timely remediation tracking and closure.
Key responsibilities.

- Perform credit file audits on disbursed loans to validate completeness and accuracy of applications, appraisal notes, sanction terms, and documentation (KYC, income, admission proof, margin money, collateral where applicable).
- Test critical checkpoints across the lifecycle: appraisal quality, sanction deviations, disbursement controls, post-disbursement utilization, EMI setup, NACH mandates, and early delinquency triggers.
- Validate loan disbursement controls: makerchecker approvals, voucher controls, segregation of duties, and documentary evidence (signatures, approvals, disbursement memos) as per policy/SOPs.
- Review system data integrity: loan terms, interest rates, moratorium handling, interest capitalization, and repayment schedules; reconcile MIS to portfolio reports and regulatory returns.
- Assess partner/DSA sourcing controls and branch adherence to KYC/AML norms and negative lists for student/guardian/co-borrower profiles.
- Evaluate collections controls: bounce handling, field visit documentation, restructuring/rescheduling approvals, and write-off authorization matrices.
- Identify fraud red flags (duplicate identities, proxy loans, forged documents) using sample checks and cross-validation; escalate as per fraud response protocol.
- Prepare clear audit reports with findings, risk ratings, root-cause analysis, and actionable recommendations; present to management and track action plans to closure within agreed timelines.
Skills and competencies.
- Strong understanding of retail lending processes, credit risk, secured/unsecured education loan products, and documentation norms across ticket sizes.
- Proficiency in risk-based auditing, sampling, data testing, and control evaluation; ability to design audit programs and working papers.
- Knowledge of KYC/AML controls and operational risk in retail assets; awareness of regulatory expectations impacting retail lending processes.
- Analytical mindset with attention to detail; ability to detect patterns indicating control failures or fraud.
- Clear business writing and stakeholder communication for reporting and follow-up.
Qualifications.

- 4-8 years of internal audit or credit audit experience in retail lending; exposure to school infrastructure / education loans preferred.
