This course introduces the concept of Documentation of Structure Rationale within the Commercial LAP (Loan Against Property) Credit framework. It focuses on ensuring that the reasoning behind key structuring decisions—such as loan-to-value (LTV), tenure, pricing, and repayment design—is clearly articulated, evidence-backed, and auditable.
Learners will explore key assessment dimensions such as identification of documentation gaps, alignment of exposure structure with borrower risk profile, and validation of assumptions supporting LTV, tenure, and pricing decisions, with an emphasis on independent validation and well-documented rationale. The course also distinguishes documentation of structure rationale from broader reporting and disclosure standards, highlighting its specific role in capturing decision logic at the exposure level rather than external or aggregate reporting.
By the end of the course, participants will understand how to document structuring rationale in practice, particularly within Exposure Structuring, LTV, and Tenure Design, including standards for clarity, traceability, exception justification, and escalation protocols aligned with credit manager review and credit committee oversight.
