💡 Accountant's Note

The arrangement fee is deferred under IFRS 9 EIR method and amortized over the loan term. The gross loan is the financial asset. Corporate loans often have conditions precedent (CPs) that must be satisfied before drawdown.

Practitioner & Systems Framework

💻 ERP Architecture

In SAP CML (Commercial Mortgage Lending) or FS-CML, the loan contract is linked to a credit facility limit. Drawdown triggers a posting against the facility. In Oracle FLEXCUBE CL module, conditions precedent are tracked as checklist items that must be cleared before the system allows disbursement.

⚠️ Audit Flags

Auditors verify all conditions precedent (CPs) were satisfied and documented before disbursement date. Relationship Manager sign-off, Credit Committee or Board Credit Committee approval (depending on amount), and legal documentation (signed facility letter, security documents) must all predate the disbursement entry.

📄 Required Documentation

Signed facility letter, board resolution from borrower, security perfection certificates (mortgage, pledge), conditions precedent checklist sign-off, drawdown request from borrower, and SWIFT payment confirmation.
