💡 Accountant's Note
Annual insurance premiums are prepaid assets, amortized at JOD 4,000/month. This matches the insurance benefit to the period it covers.
Practitioner & Systems Framework
💻 ERP Architecture
The annual medical insurance premium is paid upfront to the insurer and posted as a prepaid asset. A monthly amortisation journal releases 1/12th of the premium to medical insurance expense. The prepaid schedule is maintained in the GL prepayments module with the policy start date, end date, and monthly release amount. When new staff join or leave mid-year, the insurer typically adjusts the premium pro-rata — the adjustment is posted as an increase or decrease to the prepaid and expense.
⚠️ Audit Flags
Auditors confirm that the prepaid balance at year-end represents the unexpired portion of the premium (months remaining × monthly rate). Test the amortisation calculation against the policy period. Verify that mid-year additions and deletions have been correctly reflected in the premium and amortisation schedule. Confirm that the policy provides adequate coverage for all permanent staff and that no staff are excluded from the group policy without alternative cover.
📄 Required Documentation
Insurance policy certificate, premium invoice, amortisation schedule, mid-year endorsement adjustments (additions/deletions), staff coverage list, and prepaid balance reconciliation to policy months remaining.
