To develop students' ability to assess and verify the proper utilisation of sanctioned loans by borrowers, ensuring compliance with loan agreements and regulatory standards.

To apply analytical and data validation skills by working with loan disbursement data, expense reports, and financial statements.

To enhance problem-solving and professional judgment by identifying discrepancies or deviations in fund utilisation and proposing corrective actions.

To cultivate effective communication skills through documentation and presentation of findings to multiple stakeholders, including credit officers and compliance teams.

To familiarize students with real-world financial compliance processes, loan monitoring frameworks, and risk mitigation practices used in banking and financial institutions.

To build teamwork and project management skills by simulating reporting cycles and coordinating data collection efforts across departments.

Analyze a provided dataset containing loan disbursement details, borrower expense reports, and related financial documents for a group of borrowers.

Verify whether the loan funds have been utilised as per the sanctioned terms, identifying any anomalies such as fund diversion, partial utilisation, or delayed expenditure.

Prepare detailed utilisation reports highlighting compliance status, variances, and potential risks associated with each borrower.

Recommend actionable steps or remedial measures for cases with irregular utilisation, factoring in regulatory requirements and institutional policies.

Design a monitoring checklist or dashboard prototype that can be used for ongoing loan utilisation tracking by credit monitoring teams.

Document the entire verification and reporting process, including data sources, analysis methods, findings, and recommendations.

Present the utilisation findings and improvement suggestions to a simulated panel of loan officers and compliance managers, demonstrating clear, professional communication skills and the ability to defend the analysis under questioning.
