Practitioner & Systems Framework
💻 ERP Architecture
The bank account receiving the funds must be tagged as restricted. Treasury modules will track the amortization of bond issuance costs.
⚠️ Audit Flags
Strict auditing of the 'Use of Proceeds'. If funds are used for non-green purposes, the company breaches the bond covenant, which could trigger immediate repayment and severe reputational damage.
📄 Required Documentation
Bond indenture, Green Bond Framework, Second Party Opinion (SPO) from an ESG rating agency, bank statements.
