💡 Accountant's Note

Home mortgages are secured by a first-charge mortgage over the property. The origination fee is deferred and amortized using EIR over the mortgage life. In Jordan, mortgage loans are typically funded by the Jordan Mortgage Refinance Company (JMRC) which has specific reporting requirements.

Practitioner & Systems Framework

💻 ERP Architecture

In SAP CML, mortgage loans are set up with a separate product type including collateral linkage to the registered property. In Oracle FLEXCUBE CL module, the collateral registry records the property details. JMRC-funded mortgages require specific reporting to JMRC on each disbursement.

⚠️ Audit Flags

Auditors verify the property mortgage/hipoteka is registered in the Land Registration Department before disbursement. Disbursements made before property registration are a major finding. CBJ consumer mortgage regulations cap the LTV (Loan-to-Value) ratio — typically 70-80% for residential properties.

📄 Required Documentation

Property valuation report (less than 3 months old), Land Registration Department mortgage certificate, credit approval, CBJ LTV calculation, life insurance assignment, customer disbursement request, and JMRC notification (if applicable).
