💡 Accountant's Note
Bullet loans repay the entire principal at maturity. This creates refinancing/concentration risk. Under IFRS 9, the bank must assess whether Stage 2/3 migration is needed in the period leading up to maturity if there are signs the borrower may not be able to refinance.
Practitioner & Systems Framework
💻 ERP Architecture
Bullet maturity events are tracked in the loan management system's maturity report. A reminder workflow should trigger 90-180 days before maturity to assess refinancing risk. In Oracle FLEXCUBE, the 'LIQD' event handles bullet loan liquidation. Any remaining accrued interest must be collected simultaneously.
⚠️ Audit Flags
Auditors check that bullet loans approaching maturity are in the credit monitoring watch list if refinancing risk is elevated. Loans that were repeatedly rolled at maturity without formal renewal are classified as evergreening — a CBJ prohibited practice.
📄 Required Documentation
Maturity notice to borrower, receipt confirmation, loan contract closure, reconciliation of all fees and accrued interest to zero, and credit monitoring sign-off.
