Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyze the effect of compliance issue of microfinance institution on the profitability analysis of Nepal. The descriptive statistics provide a foundational understanding of the distribution and variability of key variables, shedding light on the average performance level of MFIs in Nepal (MP) and the extent of variability within the sampled institutions. This insight suggests that while some MFIs may perform relatively well, there are others experiencing significant challenges or variations in performance, which could be attributed to a multitude of factors including operational inefficiencies, market dynamics, or regulatory constraints. Moreover, the correlation analysis reveals intriguing patterns of association between MFI performance and operational components such as loan lending systems, management practices, risk management effectiveness, and regulatory frameworks. The significant positive correlations with effective risk management and regulatory compliance underscore the pivotal role of these factors in driving MFI profitability. While these findings do not necessarily imply that these aspects are inconsequential, they do suggest potential areas for improvement or optimization. For instance, enhancing loan lending systems to streamline processes, improve access to credit, or mitigate default risks could yield tangible benefits for MFI profitability. Likewise, strengthening management practices, such as strategic planning, human resource management, and performance monitoring, could enhance operational efficiency and effectiveness, ultimately contributing to improved financial performance. Furthermore, By promoting responsible finance practices and embedding environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into their operations, MFIs can amplify their positive impact on society and contribute to the achievement of sustainable development objectives. In last, the journey towards addressing compliance issues within the microfinance sector is not merely a quest for regulatory adherence or financial performance but a transformative endeavor with profound socio-economic implications.
