💡 Accountant's Note
The agent bank earns a quarterly fee for administering the syndicated loan: collecting repayments from borrower, distributing to participants, managing information flow, and enforcing covenants. This is a continuous service (over-time recognition under IFRS 15).
Practitioner & Systems Framework
💻 ERP Architecture
Agency fees are managed separately from the agent bank's own participation in the loan. In Oracle FLEXCUBE SY (Syndications), agency fee billing is automated per the agency agreement. In SAP CML, a separate contract for the agency role is set up with its own fee billing schedule.
⚠️ Audit Flags
Auditors confirm the agency fee is recognized over the agency service period (quarterly or annually), not upfront. If the agency agreement terminates early, any unearned fee must be returned. The agent bank must also confirm it has no conflicts of interest (holding significant own participation alongside the agency role).
📄 Required Documentation
Agency agreement, quarterly fee billing advice, agency function activity report, and reconciliation of agency fee income to active syndicated facilities.
