💡 Accountant's Note

On maturity, the accrued interest liability is settled by either crediting the customer's current account or paying cash. The principal is separately rolled over or returned. This entry clears only the interest portion.

Practitioner & Systems Framework

💻 ERP Architecture

In SAP FSCM, the TD maturity event triggers an automatic posting that settles accrued interest and either credits the linked CASA account or generates a new TD record for rollover. In Oracle FLEXCUBE, 'TDMAT' transaction type handles maturity settlement. WHT deduction (if applicable) is applied at this stage.

⚠️ Audit Flags

Audit checks confirm that WHT (5% in Jordan for individual depositors) was correctly deducted and remitted to ISTD. Any manual override of maturity processing requires dual authorization and is flagged in the exception report.

📄 Required Documentation

Maturity advice/confirmation, WHT deduction certificate issued to customer, ISTD WHT remittance schedule, and updated account statement.
