NBFC compliance review connects the entity’s category and activities with its regulatory returns, governance records and operating controls.
Understanding NBFC Compliance Audit
When to consider this service
Finance leaders, audit committees and process owners preparing a defined review of records and controls can use this service to clarify a particular issue. A useful starting question is: “Why does an NBFC’s regulatory category affect the review?” Begin with the facts behind that question rather than assuming that a standard package will resolve it.
Scope of work
The engagement can cover the following workstreams. The proposal specifies which apply to your matter and what evidence or specialist input is needed.
- Confirm regulatory category and applicable obligations.
- Review lending governance and reporting controls.
- Track exceptions and corrective responsibilities.
Documents and information to prepare
Start with the records below where available. They help establish the facts before a more specific checklist is agreed.
- Registration records.
- Policies.
- Regulatory returns.
- Loan data.
Provide the relevant entity, transaction or reporting period and any existing notice or deadline. Identify missing or inconsistent records so they can be addressed explicitly.
A key issue to resolve
Obligations vary with the NBFC’s category, scale and activity; a single checklist should not be applied indiscriminately.
How the engagement works
- Define the question: confirm regulatory category and applicable obligations, using the available registration records and the facts you provide.
- Examine the evidence: review lending governance and reporting controls. Record unresolved information and the assumptions that affect the analysis.
- Agree the action: track exceptions and corrective responsibilities. Set the required deliverables, responsible owners and any follow-up or external dependency.
Deliverables, fees and timing
The proposal for NBFC Compliance Audit sets out the analysis, documentation or coordination deliverables and the work you retain. The availability of registration records, policies, regulatory returns and loan data affects readiness and the amount of follow-up needed. Fees and the working schedule are agreed after that initial assessment. Any required independent report, legal representation or authority application is identified as a separate responsibility where relevant.
