Our NBFC Loan Portfolio Audit Services

Loan Book Review

IMC reviews the loan portfolio by borrower type, product category, geography, repayment status, exposure size, overdue ageing, and risk grade. This gives management a practical view of asset quality and shows where portfolio-level stress is building.

Loan File Audit

We check borrower files for KYC, loan application, sanction letter, credit appraisal note, repayment schedule, security documents, disbursement approvals, and post-disbursement records. Our loan file audit for NBFCs helps identify missing, incomplete, or inconsistent borrower records.

Loan Book Review for Better Credit Control and Compliance

An NBFC’s loan portfolio directly affects its asset quality, capital position, provisioning, investor confidence, and regulatory standing. A loan portfolio audit helps review the quality of advances, borrower documentation, repayment behaviour, collateral records, NPA classification, and internal credit controls.

IMC works with NBFCs, fintech lenders, microfinance entities, investors, and management teams for loan portfolio audit services in India. Our review helps identify documentation gaps, weak credit appraisal practices, overdue accounts, incorrect asset classification, provisioning gaps, and process-level risks before they affect reporting or regulatory review. The review also functions as a portfolio risk assessment exercise for management teams that need a clearer view of loan book exposure.
