💡 Accountant's Note

Interbank placements are short-term financial assets. They carry credit risk from the counterparty bank and are subject to IFRS 9 ECL assessment (usually Stage 1 with a small provision given the short tenor and bank counterparty quality).

Practitioner & Systems Framework

💻 ERP Architecture

Managed in SAP TRM or Oracle FLEXCUBE MM module. The deal includes counterparty limit check, deal entry, SWIFT MT320 confirmation, and nostro settlement. CBJ interbank exposure reports require daily reporting of all placements above a threshold.

⚠️ Audit Flags

Auditors verify the counterparty is approved in the bank's interbank credit limit system and that the placed amount does not exceed the approved limit. CBJ large exposure rules (25% of capital) apply to interbank placements.
