Regulatory Solvency Margin — Capital Top-Up
Issuing new shares to maintain the minimum solvency margin required by the insurance regulator.
| Account Name | Type | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash in Bank (Capital Injection) | Asset (+) | 5,000,000.00 | - |
| Common Stock / Share Capital | Equity (+) | - | 500,000.00 |
| Share Premium (APIC) | Equity (+) | - | 4,500,000.00 |
💡 Accountant's Note
Insurers must maintain minimum solvency margins set by the Jordan Insurance Regulatory Commission (IRC). If capital falls below the minimum due to losses, a capital injection is required to continue operating.
Practitioner & Systems Framework
💻 ERP Architecture
Capital injections are recorded in the equity section of the GL, with the nominal value of shares issued posted to the share capital account and the excess over nominal value posted to the share premium (APIC) account. The transaction requires a board resolution, an extraordinary general assembly (EGA) approval for a share issuance, and registration with the Companies Controller at the Ministry of Industry and Trade. The capital increase must also be notified to and approved by the Jordan IRC before or immediately after issuance. The ERP equity module is updated to reflect the new share capital structure.
⚠️ Audit Flags
Auditors confirm the legal and regulatory sequence: Board resolution → EGA approval → Companies Controller registration → IRC notification. The share issuance must be for cash (not in-kind) unless the IRC approves otherwise. Verify that the proceeds were received in cash and deposited in the company's bank account before the share issuance is recorded. Confirm that the post-injection solvency margin calculation meets or exceeds the IRC minimum (typically 100% of the minimum capital requirement). Test that the share register has been updated and that new share certificates were issued.
