💡 Accountant's Note
Jordanian Labour Law requires EOSB of one month's salary per year for all eligible employees. Banks typically have large, long-tenured staff creating significant EOSB obligations. The provision is accrued monthly and measured under IAS 19 (Employee Benefits) for large banks.
Practitioner & Systems Framework
💻 ERP Architecture
Large banks may apply IAS 19 actuarial measurement for EOSB (using projected benefit obligation, discount rate, and salary escalation assumptions). Smaller banks may use a simplified calculation. In SAP HCM, EOSB accrual is calculated per employee and posted monthly. An actuarial valuation is commissioned annually by most CBJ-regulated banks.
⚠️ Audit Flags
External auditors review the IAS 19 actuarial report for reasonableness of assumptions (discount rate, salary escalation, employee turnover). CBJ inspection teams test EOSB liability adequacy as part of liquidity and liability assessments. Under-provisioned EOSB is a finding affecting the bank's true net equity.
📄 Required Documentation
Annual actuarial report (IAS 19), monthly EOSB accrual calculation, employee service length records, assumptions documentation, and reconciliation of EOSB liability balance.
