Deferred Loan Origination FeeLiability/Contra-Asset (+)-200.00

💡 Accountant's Note

The loan is recorded at the full gross amount as a financial asset. The origination fee collected upfront is deferred and amortized over the loan life using the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method under IFRS 9, not recognized as immediate income.

Practitioner & Systems Framework

💻 ERP Architecture

In SAP Loans Management (CML or FS-CML), loan disbursement generates a contract with an amortization schedule. The EIR calculation must be configured in the product master. In Oracle FLEXCUBE, use the CL (Consumer Lending) module; the system auto-calculates EIR at disbursement and schedules fee amortization.

⚠️ Audit Flags

Auditors verify the EIR calculation includes all fees (origination, commitment) per IFRS 9. Credit approval documentation must precede disbursement date. CBJ consumer protection rules require the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) to be disclosed to the customer before disbursement.

📄 Required Documentation

Signed loan agreement with full amortization schedule, credit committee approval memo, customer income verification documents (salary certificate, bank statements), disbursement advice, and APR disclosure form signed by customer.
