Objectives

- 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.

- Clear business writing and stakeholder communication for reporting and follow-up.
