💡 Accountant's Note
Sukuk are Shariah-compliant securities representing ownership in an underlying asset or pool of assets. IFRS 9 classification (FVOCI or amortized cost) depends on the business model and whether cash flows pass the SPPI test. CBJ government Sukuk are typically HQLA-eligible.
Practitioner & Systems Framework
💻 ERP Architecture
Sukuk are managed in the bank's securities investment system (Oracle FLEXCUBE SM or SAP Bank Analyzer). For government Sukuk, the CBJ/CSD (Jordan Securities Depository) is the custodian. SPPI test must be documented at purchase for IFRS 9 classification. Unlike bonds, Sukuk represent ownership, not debt — the SPPI analysis may be more complex.
⚠️ Audit Flags
Auditors perform the SPPI test documentation review for each Sukuk. Sukuk with complex underlying structures (equity-based) may fail the SPPI test and require FVTPL classification. CBJ Sukuk used in repo transactions (as collateral) must be tracked as encumbered in the HQLA buffer.
📄 Required Documentation
Sukuk prospectus/issuance documents, SPPI test documentation, business model assessment, purchase settlement confirmation (CSD), Bloomberg pricing at purchase, and custodian holding confirmation.
