Building a Compliance Monitoring System for Regulated Microfinance Institutions with BI Tools
Authors(2) :-Okeoghene Elebe, Chikaome Chimara Imediegwu In the face of tightening regulatory frameworks and increasing demand for financial transparency, regulated Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) must adopt robust compliance monitoring systems to ensure adherence to statutory requirements and risk management protocols. This review paper explores how Business Intelligence (BI) tools can be harnessed to build effective, scalable, and real-time compliance monitoring systems tailored to the unique operational context of MFIs. Drawing from recent advancements in BI architectures, data integration strategies, and compliance analytics, the study synthesizes best practices in data governance, reporting automation, and regulatory signal detection. It also analyzes how BI-driven dashboards, audit trails, and exception reporting can enable proactive compliance and reduce the cost of regulatory oversight. By integrating literature across financial regulation, BI technologies, and microfinance operations, the paper proposes a conceptual framework that aligns technical implementation with regulatory objectives. The review highlights the critical roles of data interoperability, rule-based engines, and AI-enhanced alert mechanisms in building adaptive compliance ecosystems, particularly in underserved and digitally transforming economies. The study concludes with recommendations for institutional design, staff capacity development, and policy support necessary to drive BI-enabled compliance innovation in the microfinance sector.
