This course introduces the concept of Product De-Activation Controls within the Consumer LAP (Loan Against Property) Credit framework. It focuses on understanding the intent, scope, and risk implications of controls governing the suspension, withdrawal, closure, or de-activation of lending products, portfolio segments, or exposure types within secured lending operations.
Learners will explore key assessment dimensions such as understanding policy intent and scope, interpreting governance expectations, and overseeing lifecycle management controls, with an emphasis on independent validation and well-documented rationale. The course highlights how product de-activation controls support orderly portfolio exit, risk containment, regulatory alignment, operational continuity, and sustainable lifecycle management. It also examines how ineffective de-activation governance can result in unmanaged residual risks, operational disruption, customer treatment concerns, policy inconsistencies, reputational exposure, and weakened portfolio oversight.
The course distinguishes product de-activation controls from broader compliance monitoring frameworks, emphasizing their role in exposure-level risk identification, structured breach response, controlled portfolio transition management, and lifecycle governance oversight, whereas compliance monitoring frameworks focus more broadly on ongoing adherence to regulatory obligations, governance standards, and control effectiveness assessments. Each requires distinct evidence standards, ownership, and approval authority.
By the end of the course, participants will understand how to design, assess, and implement product de-activation control frameworks in practice, particularly within Lifecycle Management, Exit, and Sustainability functions. The course also emphasizes the role of the senior credit leader in setting portfolio limits, governing exception criteria, and driving strategic alignment across the Consumer LAP Credit function, ensuring disciplined exit governance, sustainable portfolio management, and alignment with credit committee priorities.
