💡 Accountant's Note

When the capital call proceeds are received from LPs, the subscription line is repaid in full including accrued interest. The interest cost is typically allocated to LP capital accounts as a fund expense. The net effect is that LPs fund the investment at a slight delay with a small interest cost, but the GP benefits from faster deal execution.

Practitioner & Systems Framework

💻 ERP Architecture

Track the interest accrual on the facility daily based on the outstanding balance and the credit agreement rate (typically SOFR + spread). Ensure the interest expense is included in the fund's expense ratio disclosure to LPs.

⚠️ Audit Flags

Auditors confirm the facility balance per the bank statement, recompute interest expense, and verify the facility is within the borrowing base limits (typically 25%–50% of unfunded LP commitments as collateral).

📄 Required Documentation

Bank credit agreement, borrowing base certificate, wire transfer for repayment, interest accrual calculation, LP capital call notice (matching repayment amount).
