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.

- 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.
