💡 Accountant's Note
Jordanian automotive dealerships (Ziad Mango Group, Al Mansour Automotive, NATCO) must accrue EOSB for all Jordanian employees under the Labour Law. For dealerships with long-serving sales managers, service advisors, and technicians, the EOSB liability can be significant. The EOSB is allocated between sales departments and fixed operations based on employee function.
Practitioner & Systems Framework
💻 ERP Architecture
EOSB is calculated monthly per employee from the HR/payroll system. For dealership staff, the allocation is: new vehicle sales team → new vehicle department; service technicians and advisors → service department; parts staff → parts department; administrative staff → overhead. For IAS 19 purposes, the EOSB obligation for senior long-service employees (general managers, senior technicians with 15+ years) can be material — actuarial valuation may be required. EOSB payments on departure are deducted from the provision.
⚠️ Audit Flags
Auditors confirm the EOSB allocation to cost centres matches the employee function classification in the HR system. Test the IAS 19 materiality threshold — for a large dealership group, the total EOSB liability for senior staff warrants actuarial valuation. Confirm EOSB for commissioned salespeople uses their total gross compensation (including commissions) in the calculation base, not just the base salary. Test the provision roll-forward and confirm departures are deducted correctly.
📄 Required Documentation
EOSB provision schedule per employee, cost centre allocation by function, IAS 19 materiality assessment, actuarial valuation (if required), EOSB payment records for departed staff, Jordanian Labour Law compliance, payroll rate confirmation including commissions, and provision balance reconciliation.
