💡 Accountant's Note
Jordanian labor law requires EOSB provisioning for all staff. For insurance companies, the EOSB is an operating expense allocated across underwriting and claims functions.
Practitioner & Systems Framework
💻 ERP Architecture
EOSB is calculated monthly per employee based on the last drawn salary and years of service (per the Jordanian Labor Law formula). The payroll system (SAP HR or equivalent) maintains individual employee EOSB accrual accounts. The monthly expense is posted to the GL and allocated to underwriting, claims, and other cost centres in proportion to the underlying salary allocation. For IAS 19 purposes, EOSB in Jordan is typically classified as a 'defined benefit obligation' — requiring actuarial measurement if material.
⚠️ Audit Flags
Auditors confirm that the EOSB provision is calculated per the Jordanian Labor Law requirements and that all eligible employees are included. For material EOSB liabilities, IAS 19 requires an actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method — auditors assess whether the company is correctly applying IAS 19 or treating EOSB as a simple accrual (which understates the liability for long-service employees). Confirm that EOSB payments made to departed employees are properly deducted from the provision.
