Imran-Rasool Khan

Fulbright-Scholar, MPA focused on Public Finance and Applied Economics (GPA 3.7/4.0). I combined microeconomics, econometrics, cost–benefit analysis and fiscal policy with hands-on projects. My capstone built a risk-based AML/CFT supervision model connecting sector risk scores to control design and estimating effects on deterrence and compliance costs. I produced policy memos and Excel/Python dashboards, presented to practitioner panels and wrote briefs on sanctions spillovers, correspondent-banking incentives and SDG-aligned domestic resource mobilisation.

Focus areas: corporate finance, public finance, tax policy and administration, indirect taxation (customs, sales tax, excise), financial reporting, managerial accounting, international trade/WTO. Projects: Built an Excel model to estimate revenue and consumer-price effects of tariff and sales-tax changes across HS categories. Designed a simple importer risk-scorecard from customs declaration data to prioritise post-clearance audits.
