verify or monitor closely


Explanation:
Here the idea is more than supervise which in Spanish is "supervisar". Fiscalizar has to do with a close monitoring to verify procedures, actions, usage of materials, finances etc.

control


Explanation:
In this context, fiscalizar means "to control," NOTHING ELSE!

So much so that this function includes the power to audit accounting records.

Del Glosario Internacional de Marina Orellana para el Traductor:
FISCALIZACIÓN: control, supervision, inspection; audit of accounts; monitoring; oversight; compliance-monitoring (regulatory agency).
FISCALIZACIÓN INTERNA: internal control

Now that I read this I would suggest that you translate "fiscalizar a los prestadores" as "monitoring lenders' regulatory compliance."

neutral  Henry Hinds: Lo siento, pero es un "amigo falso". Sólo un buen amigo te lo dice. En inglés "control" significa que los "mandan" como si fueran sus superiores jerárquicos y no es el caso. Los vigilan nada más, lo que significa en castellano.

  -> Gracias, mi buen amigo. Me parece rarísima tu opinión, porque aprendí esto trabajando en el sistema financiero chileno durante 8 años y te aseguro que tengo muchos clientes satisfechos con esta traducción de "fiscalizar/fiscalización". ¿Me explicas, pls?
