| Disclosure of general information about reporting entity [text block] | 1. GENERALThe Company for Cooperative Insurance (the “Company”) is a Saudi joint stock Company established in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by Royal Decree Number M/5 and incorporated on January 18, 1986 corresponding to Jumada Al-Awal 8, 1406H under Commercial Registration No. 1010061695. The Company’s head office is located on Thumamah Road (At Takhassusi) ArRabi District, P.O. Box 86959, Riyadh 11632, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.The purpose of the Company is to transact cooperative insurance operations and all related activities including reinsurance and agency activities. Its principal lines of business include medical, motor, marine, fire, engineering, energy, aviation, takaful and casualty insurance.On July 31, 2003 corresponding to Jumada Thani 2, 1424H the Law on the Supervision of Cooperative Insurance Companies (“Insurance Law”) was promulgated by Royal Decree Number (M/32). On December 1, 2004 corresponding to Shawwal 18, 1425H, the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority (“SAMA”) as the principal authority responsible for the application and administration of the Insurance Law and its implementing regulations, granted the Company a license to transact insurance activities in Saudi Arabia.The Company conducts the business and advances funds to the insurance operations as required. On January 20, 2004 the Company amended its Articles of Association giving authority to the Board of Directors to determine the disposition of the surplus from insurance operations.On March 20, 2004, the Board of Directors approved the distribution of the surplus from insurance operations in accordance with the Implementing Regulations issued by SAMA, whereby the shareholders of the Company are to receive 90% of the annual surplus from insurance operations and the policyholders are to receive the remaining 10%. Any deficit arising on insurance operations is transferred to the shareholders’ operations in full. | 1 |
| Disclosure of statement of compliance [text block] | a) Statement of complianceThe financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with ‘International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other standards and pronouncements issued by the Saudi Organization for Certified Public Accountants (SOCPA) and in compliance with Regulations for Companies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and By-Laws of the Company.The financial statements of the Company as at and for the period and year ended 31 March 2019 and 31 December 2018, were prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as modified by SAMA for the accounting of zakat and income tax (relating to the application of IAS 12 – “Income Taxes” and IFRIC 21 – “Levies” so far as these relate to zakat and income tax) and the Regulations for Companies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.On 17 July 2019, SAMA instructed the insurance companies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to account for the zakat and income taxes in the statement of income. This aligns with the IFRS and its interpretations as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and with the other standards and pronouncements that are issued by the Saudi Organization for Certified Public Accountants (“SOCPA”) (collectively referred to as “IFRS as endorsed in KSA”).Accordingly the Company has changed its accounting treatment for zakat and income tax by retrospectively adjusting the impact in line with International Accounting Standard 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (as disclosed in note 3(b)) and the effects of this change are disclosed in note 19(d) to the financial statements). The Company has adopted IFRS 16 Leases from 1 January 2019. The change in accounting policies due to this new standard and treatment of Zakat & Tax are disclosed in note 3(b).The Company’s statement of financial position is not presented using a current/non-current classification. However, the following balances would generally be classified as non-current: statutory deposit, accrued income on statutory deposit, property and equipment, intangible assets, investment property, investments in associates, available for sale investments, reserve for discontinued operations, end-of-service indemnities and return payable on statutory deposit. All other financial statement line items would generally be classified as current.The Company presents its statement of financial position in order of liquidity. As required by the Saudi Arabian Insurance Regulations, the Company maintains separate books of accounts for Insurance Operations and Shareholders’ Operations and presents the financial statements accordingly (Note 30). Assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses clearly attributable to either activity are recorded in the respective accounts. The basis of allocation of expenses from joint operations is determined and approved by the management and the Board of Directors.The statement of financial position, statements of income, comprehensive income and cash flows of the insurance operations and shareholders operations which are presented in Note 30 of the financial statements have been provided as supplementary financial information to comply with the requirements of the guidelines issued by SAMA implementing regulations and is not required under IFRSs. SAMA implementing regulations requires the clear segregation of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the insurance operations and the shareholders operations. Accordingly, the statements of financial position, statements of income, comprehensive income and cash flows prepared for the insurance operations and shareholders operations as referred to above, reflect only the assets, liabilities, income, expenses and comprehensive income or losses of the respective operations.2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (Continued)In preparing the Company-level financial statements in compliance with IFRS, the balances and transactions of the insurance operations are amalgamated and combined with those of the shareholders’ operations. Inter-operation balances, transactions and unrealised gains or losses, if any, are eliminated in full during amalgamation. The accounting policies adopted for the insurance operations and shareholders operations are uniform for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. | 2 |
| Disclosure of new standards and amendments in standards [text block] | a) Standards adopted during the yearEffective from 1 January 2019 the Company has adopted one new accounting standard and the impact of the adoption is explained below:IFRS 16 LeasesBefore January 01, 2019, the Company followed accounting for leases in accordance with IAS 17:Where Company is the lessee leases that do not transfer to the Company substantially all of the risk and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Consequently, all of the leases entered into by the Company are all operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.The Company adopted IFRS 16 ‘Leases’, the standard replaces the existing guidance on leases, including IAS 17 ‘Leases”, IFRIC 4 ‘Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease”, SIC 15 “Operating Leases – Incentives” and SIC 27 “Evaluating the Substance of Transactions in the Legal Form of a Lease”. IFRS 16 was issued in January 2016 and is effective for annual periods commencing on or after 1 January 2019. IFRS 16 stipulates that all leases and the associated contractual rights and obligations should generally be recognize in the Company’s Financial Position, unless the term is 12 months or less or the lease for low value asset. Thus, the classification required under IAS 17 “Leases” into operating or finance leases is eliminated for Lessees. For each lease, the lessee recognizes a liability for the lease obligations incurred in the future. Correspondingly, a right to use the leased asset is capitalized, which is generally equivalent, at the commencement date, to the present value of the future lease payments plus directly attributable costs and which is amortized over the useful life. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)a) Standards adopted during the year (continued)The Company adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach. The Company elected to apply the standard to contracts that were previously identified as lease applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4. The Company therefore did not apply the standard to contracts that were not previously identified as containing a lease applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4. The Company elected to use the exemptions proposed by the standard on lease contracts for which the lease terms ends within 12 months as of the date of initial application, and lease contracts for which the underlying asset is of low value. During the year the Company has performed an assessment of IFRS 16 and resolved that impact of difference as compared to leases accounted for applying IAS 17 & IFRIC 4 is not material to the Company’s financial statements as a whole and accordingly, no adjustment has been made in these financial statements. | 3 |
| Disclosure of issued IFRS not yet adopted [text block] | c) Standards issued but not yet effectiveThe Company has chosen not to early adopt the following new standards which have been issued but not yet effective for the Company's accounting year beginning on 1 January 2019 and is currently assessing their impact:IFRS 17 – Insurance ContractsOverviewThis standard has been published in May, 2017. It establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts and supersedes IFRS 4 – Insurance contracts.The new standard applies to insurance contracts issued, to all reinsurance contracts and to investment contracts with discretionary participating features provided the entity also issues insurance contracts. It requires to separate the following components from insurance contracts: i. embedded derivatives, if they meet certain specified criteria; ii. distinct investment components; and iii. any promise to transfer distinct goods or non-insurance services.These components should be accounted for separately in accordance with the related standards (IFRS 9 and IFRS 15). MeasurementIn contrast to the requirements in IFRS 4, which permitted insurers to continue to use the accounting policies for measurement purposes that existed prior to January 2015, IFRS 17 provides the following different measurement models:The General Measurement Model (GMM) is based on the following “building blocks”:a) the fulfilment cash flows (FCF), which comprise: probability-weighted estimates of future cash flows, an adjustment to reflect the time value of money (i.e. discounting) and the financial risks associated with those future cash flows, and a risk adjustment for non-financial risk;b) the Contractual Service Margin (CSM). The CSM represents the unearned profit for a group of insurance contracts and will be recognized as the entity provides services in the future. The CSM cannot be negative at inception; any net negative amount of the fulfilment cash flows at inception will be recorded in profit or loss immediately. At the end of each subsequent reporting period the carrying amount of a group of insurance contracts is remeasured to be the sum of: the liability for remaining coverage, which comprises the FCF related to future services and the CSM of the group at that date; and the liability for incurred claims, which is measured as the FCF related to past services allocated to the group at that date.The CSM is adjusted subsequently for changes in cash flows related to future services. Since the CSM cannot be negative, changes in future cash flows that are greater than the remaining CSM are recognized in profit or loss. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)c) Standards issued not yet effective (Continued)The effect of changes in discount rates will be reported in either profit or loss or other comprehensive income, determined by an accounting policy choice.The Variable Fee Approach (VFA) is a mandatory model for measuring contracts with direct participation features (also referred to as ‘direct participating contracts’). This assessment of whether the contract meets these criteria is made at inception of the contract and not reassessed subsequently. For these contracts, in addition to the adjustment under GMM, the CSM is also adjusted for:i. the entity’s share of the changes in the fair value of underlying items, ii. the effect of changes in the time value of money and in financial risks not relating to the underlying items.In addition, a simplified Premium Allocation Approach (PAA) is permitted for the measurement of the liability for remaining coverage if it provides a measurement that is not materially different from the General Measurement Model or if the coverage period for each contract in the group is one year or less. With the PAA, the liability for remaining coverage corresponds to premiums received at initial recognition less insurance acquisition cash flows. The General Measurement Model remains applicable for the measurement of the liability for incurred claims. However, the entity is not required to adjust future cash flows for the time value of money and the effect of financial risk if those cash flows are expected to be paid/received in one year or less from the date the claims are incurred.Effective dateThe IASB issued an Exposure Draft Amendments to IFRS 17 during June 2019 and received comments from various stakeholders. The IASB is currently re-deliberating issues raised by stakeholders. For any proposed amendments to IFRS 17, the IASB will follow its normal due process for standard-setting. The effective date of IFRS 17 and the deferral of the IFRS 9 temporary exemption in IFRS 4, is currently January 1, 2021. Under the current exposure draft, it is proposed to amend the IFRS 17 effective date to reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. This is a deferral of 1 year compared to the previous date of January 1, 2021. Earlier application is permitted if both IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments have also been applied. The Company intends to apply the Standard on its effective date.TransitionRetrospective application is required. However, if full retrospective application for a group of insurance contracts is impracticable, then the entity is required to choose either a modified retrospective approach or a fair value approach.Presentation and DisclosuresThe Company expects that the new standard will result in a change to the accounting policies for insurance contracts together with amendments to presentation and disclosures. ImpactThe Company has performed an operational gap assessment which has focused on the impact of IFRS 17 across data, systems, processes and people. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the application and implementation of IFRS 17. As of the date of the publication of these financial statements, the financial impact of adopting the standard has yet to be fully assessed by the Company. The key areas identified to date are as follows: Impact Area Summary of ImpactFinancial Impact Based on the initial assessment, the majority of Company’s products (which provide cover for annual periods or less) are expected to be measured using the simplified approach (PAA) which requires less changes to the existing approach under IFRS4. As a result, the financial impact of measuring contracts under IFRS17 is not expected to be significant. Data Impact Where the GMM is applied to measure the Liability for Remaining Coverage, additional data to inform the assumptions made will be required to generate cash-flow models. Yield curves and other financial market information will also be required to determine suitable discount rates and the credit risk of reinsurers.IT Systems Cash-flow models will be required to cater for the calculation of the Liability for Remaining Coverage. In addition, model development will be required to allow for the calculation, updating and amortisation of the Contractual Service Margin.Amendments will also be required to the current chart of accounts and reporting disclosures. Process Impact A process will need to be established to assess the expected profitability of contracts issued, at the issuing date.Cost allocation processes will need refinement to ensure directly attributable costs are identified according to the requirements of IFRS17 and are then used as part of cash flow projections.The financial statement close process will also require changes to allow for more frequent interaction between the finance and actuarial teams. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)c) Standards issued not yet effective (Continued)Impact on RI Arrangements IFRS17 is not expected to significantly impact the structure of the reinsurance arrangements currently in place for Tawuniya. It is however expected that further insight into the expected (and subsequently actual) performance of reinsurance treaties will be derived under IFRS17. Impact on Policies & Control Frameworks Various decisions need to be made and policies drafted which cover the below (amongst other items): Allocating directly attributable expenses Onerous contract identification and measurement Risk adjustmentThe Company has started with a detailed data gap assessment as well as the development of an implementation plan which considers the key IFRS 17 design principles. In addition, the Company has set up an IFRS 17 Steering Committee.IFRS 9 - “Financial instruments”This standard was published on July 24, 2014 and has replaced IAS 39. The new standard addresses the following items related to financial instruments:i) Classification and measurement:IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income or at fair value through profit or loss. A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if both: the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding (“SPPI”).The financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and realized gains or losses are recycled through profit or loss upon sale, if both conditions are met: the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and for sale; and the contractual terms of cash flows are SPPI,Assets not meeting either of these categories are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Additionally, at initial recognition, an entity can use the option to designate a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch.For equity instruments that are not held for trading, an entity can also make an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value of the instruments (including realized gains and losses), dividends being recognized in profit or loss.Additionally, for financial liabilities that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss, the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is recognized in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss.ii) Impairment:The impairment model under IFRS 9 reflects expected credit losses, as opposed to incurred credit losses under IAS 39. Under the IFRS 9 approach, it is no longer necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognized. Instead, an entity always accounts for expected credit losses and changes in those expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.iii) Hedge accounting:IFRS 9 introduces new requirements for hedge accounting that align hedge accounting more closely with Risk Management. The requirements establish a more principles-based approach to the general hedge accounting model. The amendments apply to all hedge accounting with the exception of portfolio fair value hedges of interest rate risk (commonly referred to as “fair value macro hedges”). For these, an entity may continue to apply the hedge accounting requirements currently in IAS 39. This exception was granted largely because the IASB is addressing macro hedge accounting as a separate project. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)c) Standards issued not yet effective (Continued)iv) Effective dateThe published effective date of IFRS 9 was 1st January 2018. However, amendments to IFRS 4 – Insurance Contracts: Applying IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 – Insurance Contracts, published on 12th September 2016, changes the existing IFRS 4 to allow entities issuing insurance contracts within the scope of IFRS 4 to mitigate certain effects of applying IFRS 9 before the IASB’s new insurance contract standard (IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts) becomes effective. The amendments introduce two alternative options:- Apply a temporary exemption from implementing IFRS 9 until the earlier of: the effective date of a new insurance contract standard; or annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021. (The IASB is proposing to extend the effective date of IFRS 17 and the IFRS 9 temporary exemption in IFRS 4 to January 1, 2022). Additional disclosures related to financial assets are required during the deferral period. This option is only available to entities whose activities are predominately connected with insurance and have not applied IFRS 9 previously; or- Adopt IFRS 9 but, for designated financial assets, remove from profit or loss the effects of some of the accounting mismatches that may occur before the new insurance contract standard is implemented. During the interim period, additional disclosures are required.The Company has performed a detailed assessment beginning Jan 01, 2018: (1) The carrying amount of the Company’s liabilities arising from contracts within the scope of IFRS 4 (including deposit components or embedded derivatives unbundled from insurance contracts) were compared to the total carrying amount of all its liabilities; and (2) the total carrying amount of the company’s liabilities connected with insurance were compared to the total carrying amount of all its liabilities. Based on these assessments the Company determined that it is eligible for the temporary exemption. Consequently, the Company has decided to defer the implementation of IFRS 9 until the effective date of the new insurance contracts standard. Disclosures related to financial assets required during the deferral period are included in the Company’s financial statements.(v) Impact assessmentAs at December 31, 2019, the Company has total financial assets and insurance related assets amounting to SR 7,761 million (2018: SR 6,896 million) and SR 5,794 million (2018: SR 5,119 million), respectively. Currently, financial assets held at amortized cost consist of cash and cash equivalents and certain other receivables amounting to SR 4,979 million (2018: SR 3,966 million). Other financial assets consist of available for sale investments amounting to SR 2,746 million (2018: SR 2,905 million). The Company expect to use the FVOCI classification of financial assets based on the business model of the Company for debt securities and strategic nature of equity investments. However, the Company is yet to perform a detailed assessment to determine whether the debt securities meet the SPPI test as required by IFRS 9. Investment in funds and discretionary portfolio management – equity shares classified under available for sale investments amounting to SR 985 million (2018: SR 1,402) will be at FVSI under IFRS 9. As at December 31, 2019, debt securities are measured at fair value of SR 1,601 million (2018: 1,464 million) with changes in fair value during the year of SR 245 million (2018: SR (0.03) million). Credit risk exposure, concentration of credit risk and credit quality of these financial assets are mentioned in note 31(d). The Company financial assets have low credit risk as at December 31, 2019 and 2018. The above is based on high-level impact assessment of IFRS 9. This preliminary assessment is based on currently available information and may be subject to changes arising from further detailed analyses or additional reasonable and supportable information being made available to the Company in the future. Overall, the Company expects some effect of applying the impairment requirements of IFRS 9: However, the impact of the same is not expected to be significant. At present it is not possible to provide reasonable estimate of the effects of application of this new standard as the Company is yet to perform a detailed review. | 3 |
| Disclosure of critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions, general [text block] | e) Critical accounting judgments, estimates and assumptionsThe preparation of the financial statements requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Although these estimates and judgments are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimate and judgments used by management in the preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.Following are the accounting judgments and estimates that are critical in preparation of these financial statements:i) The ultimate liability arising from claims made under insurance contractsThe estimation of the ultimate liability arising from claims made under insurance contracts is the Company’s most critical accounting estimate. There are several sources of uncertainty that need to be considered in the estimate of the liability that the Company will ultimately pay for such claims. Estimates are made at the end of the reporting period both for the expected ultimate cost of claim reported and for the expected ultimate costs of claims incurred but not reported (“IBNR”). Liabilities for unpaid reported claims are estimated using the input of assessments for individual cases reported to the Company. At the end of each reporting period, prior year claims estimates are reassessed for adequacy and changes are made to the provision.The provision for claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) is an estimation of claims which are expected to be reported subsequent to the date of statement of financial position, for which the insured event has occurred prior to the date of statement of financial position. The primary technique adopted by management in estimating the cost of notified and IBNR claims, is that of using the past claims settlement trends to predict future claims settlement trends. A range of methods such as Chain Ladder Method, Bornhuetter-Ferguson Method and Expected Loss Ratio Method are used by the actuaries to determine these provisions. Actuary had also used a segmentation approach including analyzing cost per member per year for medical line of business. Underlying these methods are a number of explicit or implicit assumptions relating to the expected settlement amount and settlement patterns of claims.2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (Continued)e) Critical accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions (continued)ii) Impairment of available-for-sale financial assetsThe Company determines that available-for-sale financial assets are impaired when there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the available-for-sale financial assets below its cost. The determination of what is significant or prolonged requires judgment. For equity and mutual funds, a period of 12 months or longer is considered to be prolonged and a decline of 30% from original cost is considered significant as per Company policy. In making this judgment, the Company also evaluates among other factors, the normal volatility in share price, the financial health of the investee, industry and sector performance, changes in technology, and operational and financing cash flows. iii) Impairment of receivablesA provision for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganization, and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the receivable is impaired.iv) Fair value of financial instrumentsFair values of available-for-sale investments are based on quoted prices for marketable securities or estimated fair values based on the latest available net assets value of the mutual fund. For unquoted investments, fair value is determined by reference to the market value of a similar investment or where the fair values cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques. The input to these models is taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values.Please refer fair value of financial instruments disclosure in note 28. | 2 |
| Disclosure of basis of measurement [text block] | b) Basis of measurement These financial statements are prepared under the historical cost basis except for the measurement at fair value of available-for-sale investments, investment in associates which is accounted for under the equity method and end of service benefits based on actuarial valuation techniques. | 2 |

| Disclosure of summary of significant accounting policies [abstract] | | |
| Disclosure of summary of significant accounting policies, general comment [text block] | 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESThe significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the previous financial year, except for change in accounting policies as mentioned in 3(b) and the adoption of the new standards and other amendments to existing standards mentioned in 3(a) which have had no significant financial impact on the financial statements of the Company on the current year or prior year and is expected to have no significant effect in future years. | 3 |
| Description of changes in accounting policy [text block] | b) Change in accounting policyAs mentioned in note 2(a) above, the basis of preparation has been changed from the period ended 30 June 2019 as a result of the issuance of instructions from SAMA dated 17 July 2019. Previously, zakat and income tax were recognized in the statement of changes in equity as per the SAMA circular no 381000074519 dated 11 April 2017. With the latest instructions issued by SAMA dated 17 July 2019, the zakat and income tax shall be recognized in the statement of income. The Company has accounted for this change in the accounting for zakat and income tax retrospectively (see note 19(d)) and the effects of the above change are disclosed in note 19(d) to the financial statements. | 3 |
| Description of accounting policy for cash and cash equivalents [text block] | bb) Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and balances with banks including murabaha deposits with less than three months maturity from the date of acquisition. | 3 |
| Description of accounting policy for investment properties [text block] | t) Investment propertyInvestment property represents land that is held for capital appreciation purposes. Land is stated at cost less recognized impairment loss, if any. | 3 |
| Description of accounting policy for investment in associates and joint ventures [text block] | m) Investments in associatesAn associate is an entity in which the Company has significant influence (but not control), over financial and operating policies and which is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture. Investments in associates are carried in the statement of financial position at cost, plus post acquisition changes in the Company’s share of net assets of the associate, less any impairment in the value of individual investments.When the company’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Company does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.At each reporting date, the Company determines whether there is objective evidence that the investment in associate is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Company calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value, and then recognizes the loss in the statement of income, as the case may be. | 3 |
| Description of accounting policy for receivables [text block] | k) ReceivablesPremiums and reinsurance balances receivable are recognised when due and measured on initial recognition at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Premiums receivable are stated at gross written premiums receivable from insurance contracts, less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. The carrying value of receivable is reviewed for impairment and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, the impairment loss is recorded in “Other general and administrative expenses” in the statement of income. Receivable balances are derecognised when the Company no longer controls the contractual rights that comprise the receivable balance, which is normally the case when the receivable balance is sold, or all the cash flows attributable to the balance are passed through to an independent third party. Receivables disclosed in note 12 fall under the scope of IFRS 4 “Insurance contracts”. | 3 |
| Description of accounting policy for deferred policy acquisition costs [text block] | i) Deferred policy acquisition costsCommissions and other costs directly related to the acquisition and renewal of insurance contracts are deferred and amortized over the terms of the insurance contracts to which they relate, similar to premiums earned. All other acquisition costs are recognized as an expense when incurred. Amortization is recorded in the “Policy acquisition costs” in the statement of income.Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for by changing the amortization period and are treated as a change in accounting estimate.An impairment review is performed at each reporting date or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises. If the assumptions relating to future profitability of these policies are not realized, the amortization of these costs could be accelerated and this may also require additional impairment write-offs in the statement of income. Deferred policy acquisition costs are also considered in the liability adequacy test at each reporting date. | 3 |
| Description of accounting policy for intangible assets and goodwill [text block] | s) Intangible assets Separately acquired intangible assets are shown at historical cost. They have a finite useful life and are subsequent carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. The Company amortises intangible assets with a limited useful life using straight-line method over the following period: YearsSoftware licenses 4 | 3 |
| Description of accounting policy for property and equipment [text block] | r) Property and equipmentProperty and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of income during the financial period in which they are incurred. Land is not depreciated. The cost of other items of property and equipment is depreciated on the straight line method to allocate the cost over estimated useful lives, as follows: YearsBuildings 40-48Furniture and fixtures 10Computer equipment 4Vehicles 4The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate. The carrying values of these assets are reviewed for impairment when event or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets are written down to their recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are included in “Other income, net” in the statement of income. | 3 |
| Description of accounting policy for liability adequacy test [text block] | j) Liability adequacy testAt each statement of financial position date, liability adequacy tests are performed to ensure the adequacy of the insurance contracts liabilities net of related deferred policy acquisition costs. In performing these tests management uses current best estimates of future contractual cash flows and claims handling and administration expenses. Any deficiency in the carrying amounts is immediately charged to the statement of income by establishing a provision for losses arising from liability adequacy tests accordingly. | 3 |
| Description of accounting policy for provisions [text block] | y) Provisions, accrued expenses and other liabilitiesProvisions are recognised when the Company has an obligation (legal or constructive) arising from past events, and the costs to settle the obligation are both probable and may be measured reliably.

| Description of accounting policy for employees end of service benefits [text block] | x) Employees’ end-of-service benefitsThe Company operates an end of service benefit plan for its employees based on the prevailing Saudi Labor Laws. Accruals are made at the present value of expected future payments in respect of services provided by the employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period of high-quality corporate bonds with terms and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. The benefit payments obligation is discharged as and when it falls due. Remeasurements (actuarial gains/ losses) as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in statement of comprehensive income. | 3 |

| Description of accounting policy for impairment and uncollectibiity of financial assets [text block] | q) Impairment of financial assetsThe Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. An impairment exists if one or more events that has occurred since the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred ‘loss event’), has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include:- Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;- A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in payments;- It becoming probable that the issuer or debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;- The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties; or- Observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flow from a group of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial assets in the Company, including: adverse changes in the payment status of issuers or debtors in the Company; or national or local economic conditions at the country of the issuers that correlate with defaults on the assets.If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on a financial asset exists, the impairment is determined as follows:- For equities and fund carried at fair value, impairment is the significant or prolong decline in the fair value of the financial asset.- For debt securities and sukuks carried at amortized cost, impairment is based on estimated future cash flows that are discounted at the original effective commission rate.For available-for-sale financial assets, the Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that an investment or a group of investments is impaired.3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)q) Impairment of financials assets (Continued)In the case of debt instruments classified as available for sale, the Company assesses individually whether there is an objective evidence of impairment. Objective evidence may include indications that the borrower is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in special commission income or principal payments, the probability that it will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and where observable data indicates that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in economic conditions that correlate with defaults. However, the amount recorded for impairment is the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the amortized cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognized in the statement of income. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the increase can be objectively related to credit event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in the statement of income, the impairment loss is reversed through the statement of income.In making an assessment of whether an investment in debt instrument is impaired, the Company considers the factors such as market’s assessment of creditworthiness as reflected in the bond yields, rating agencies’ assessment of creditworthiness, country’s ability to access the capital markets for new debt issuance and probability of debt being restructured, resulting in holders suffering losses through voluntary or mandatory debt forgiveness. The amount recorded for impairment is the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the amortised cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognised in the statement of income.For equity investments held as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in fair value below its cost represents objective evidence of impairment. The impairment loss cannot be reversed through statement of income as long as the asset continues to be recognised i.e. any increase in fair value after impairment has been recorded can only be recognised in other comprehensive income. On derecognition, any cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is included in the statement of income for the year. The determination of what is ‘significant’ or ‘prolonged’ requires judgement. A period of 12 months or longer is considered to be prolonged and a decline of 30% from original cost is considered significant as per Company policy. In making this judgement, the Company evaluates, among other factors, the duration or extent to which the fair value of an investment is less than its cost. | 3 |
| Description of accounting policy for fair value measurement [text block] | hh) Fair valuesFair values of available-for-sale investments are based on quoted prices for marketable securities or estimated fair values based on the latest available net assets value of the mutual fund. The fair value of commission-bearing items is estimated based on discounted cash flows using commission for items with similar terms and risk characteristics. The Company also considers appropriate assumptions for credit spread.For unquoted investments, fair value is determined by reference to the market value of a similar investment or where the fair values cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques. The input to these models is taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. | 3 |
| Description of accounting policy for cash dividend and non-cash distribution to equity holders [text block] | aa) Dividend distributionDividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company’s shareholders. | 3 |
| Description of accounting policy for claims/ benefits [text block] | f) ClaimsClaims consist of amounts payable to policyholders and third parties and related loss adjustment expenses, net of salvage and other recoveries, and is charged to “Changes in outstanding claims and reserves” in the statement of income as incurred.Gross outstanding claims comprise the gross estimated cost of claims incurred but not settled at the statement of financial position date together with related claims handling costs, whether reported by the insured or not. Provisions for reported claims not paid as of the statement of financial position date are made on the basis of individual case estimates. In addition, a provision based on management’s judgment and the Company’s prior experience is maintained for the cost of settling claims incurred but not reported including related claims handling costs at the statement of financial position date. The outstanding claims are shown on a gross basis and the related share of the reinsurers is shown separately. Further, the Company does not discount its liability for unpaid claims as substantially all claims are expected to be paid within one year of the statement of financial position date. | 3 |
| Description of accounting policy for general insurance/ takaful contracts [text block] | e) Insurance contractsThe Company issues insurance contracts that transfer insurance risk. Insurance contracts are those contracts where the insurer accepts significant insurance risk from the policyholder by agreeing to compensate the policyholder if a specified uncertain future event adversely affects the policyholder. As a general guideline, the Company defines significant insurance risk as the possibility of having to pay benefits on the occurrence of an insured event that are at least 10% more than the benefits payable if the insured event did not occur. | 3 |
| Description of accounting policy for impairment of non-financial assets [text block] | w) Impairment of non-financial assetsAssets that have an indefinite useful life – for example, land – are not subject to depreciation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). | 3 |
| Description of accounting policy for other revenue recognition [text block] | d) Revenue RecognitionRecognition of premium and commission revenuePremiums and commission are recorded in the statement of income based on straight line method over the insurance policy coverage period except for long term polices (construction and engineering) and marine cargo. Unearned premiums are calculated on a straight line method over the insurance policy coverage except for: Last three months premium at a reporting date is considered as unearned in respect of marine cargo; Pre-defined calculation for Engineering class of business for risks undertaken that extend beyond a single year. In accordance with this calculation, lower premiums are earned in the first year which gradually increases towards the end of the tenure of the policy; andUnearned premiums represent the portion of premiums written relating to the unexpired period of coverage. The change in the provision for unearned premium is taken to the statement of income in the same order that revenue is recognised over the period of risk.Reinsurance commissions directly relates to the reinsurance contracts are deferred and earned to the statement of income in the same order that commission revenue is recognized over the period of risk.3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)d) Revenue recognition (Continued)Investment incomeInvestment income on debt instruments are accounted for on an effective interest basis. Dividend incomeDividend income on equity instruments classified under available-for-sale investments is recognized when the right to receive payment is established. | 3 |
| Description of accounting policy for segment reporting [text block] | ee) Operating segmentsA segment is a distinguishable component of the Company that is engaged in providing products or services (a business segment), which is subject to risk and rewards that are different from those of other segments. For management purposes, the Company is organized into business units based on their products and services and has four reportable segments as follows: Medical - coverage for health insurance. Motor insurance. Property and Casualty - coverage for property, engineering, marine, aviation, energy and general accidents insurance. Protection and saving Manafeth – third party liability insurance for foreign vehicles and the profit of this segment is shared with other insurance companies. Shareholders’ segment - reporting shareholder operations of the Company. Income earned from investments is the only revenue generating activity. Certain direct operating expenses and other overhead expenses are allocated to this segment on an appropriate basis. The surplus or loss from the insurance operations is allocated to this segment on an appropriate basis.Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the chief executive officer that makes strategic decisions. No inter-segment transactions occurred during the year. | 3 |
| Description of accounting policy for accounting of leases [text block] | v) LeasesPolicy before 1 January 2019Leases that do not transfer to the Company substantially all of the risk and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Consequently, all of the leases entered into by the Company are all operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the (consolidated) statement of income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.Policy after 1 January 2019Right of Use Asset / Lease LiabilitiesOn initial recognition, at inception of the contract, the Company shall assess whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control is identified if most of the benefits are flowing to the Company and the Company can direct the usage of such assets.At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Company has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.Right of Use AssetsCompany applies cost model, and measure right of use (RoU) asset at cost; less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses; and adjusted for any re-measurement of the lease liability for lease modificationsGenerally, RoU asset would be equal to the lease liability. However, if there are additional costs such as Site preparation, non-refundable deposits, application money, other expenses related to transaction etc. need to be added to the RoU asset value.The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipmentLease Liability On initial recognition, the lease liability is the present value of all remaining payments to the lessor, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. After the commencement date, Company measures the lease liability by: Increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability. Reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and;Re-measuring the carrying amount to reflect any re-assessment or lease modification. The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in statement of income if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)v) Leases (Continued)Short-term leases and leases of low-value assetsThe Company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets, including IT equipment. The Company recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. | 3 |
| Description of accounting policy for foreign currencies [text block] | dd) Foreign currenciesTransactions in foreign currencies are recorded in Saudi Riyals at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated to Saudi Riyals at the rate of exchange prevailing at the statement of financial position date. All differences are taken to the statements of income. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction and are not subsequently restated. Foreign exchange gains or losses on available-for-sale investments are recognized in “Other income, net” in the statement of income. As the Company’s foreign currency transactions are primarily in US dollars, foreign exchange gains and losses are not significant. | 3 |
| Description of accounting policy for derivative financial instruments and hedges [text block] | iii) Hedge accounting:IFRS 9 introduces new requirements for hedge accounting that align hedge accounting more closely with Risk Management. The requirements establish a more principles-based approach to the general hedge accounting model. The amendments apply to all hedge accounting with the exception of portfolio fair value hedges of interest rate risk (commonly referred to as “fair value macro hedges”). For these, an entity may continue to apply the hedge accounting requirements currently in IAS 39. This exception was granted largely because the IASB is addressing macro hedge accounting as a separate project. | 3 |
| Description of accounting policy for off setting financial assets and liabilities [text block] | o) OffsettingFinancial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position only when there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liability simultaneously. Income and expense is not offset unless required or permitted by any accounting standard or interpretation. | 3 |
| Description of other accounting policies relevant to understanding of financial statements [text block] | ff) Manafeth shared agreementAs described in note 22, the Manafeth shared agreement is an insurance pooling arrangement related to motor insurers in KSA. This is an arrangement between 26 insurance companies of KSA where the entity is the leader in providing Manafeth (Insurance coverage for motor vehicles entering in KSA). The entity does not act as an agent on behalf of the other insurers in agreement. Therefore the Company accounts for manafeth shared agreement by recording the premiums under the gross written premium and claims under gross claims paid. The relevant assets and liabilities are also recorded as a separate operating segment along with the assets and liabilities of other operating segments. The distribution of share of income to other participating insurance companies is recorded as an expense in “Manafeth insurance share distribution” in the statement of income. | 3 |

FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSFair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or the most advantageous) market between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. Determination of fair value and fair value hierarchyThe Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments: - Level 1: quoted market price: financial instruments with quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets. - Level 2: quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities or other valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are based on observable market data.- Level 3: valuation techniques for which any significant input is not based on observable market data. The following table shows the carrying amount and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy for financial instruments measured at fair value. It does not include fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation to fair value. 28.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIESa) As of December 31, 2019, outstanding letters of credit amounted to SAR 200 million (2018: SAR 143 million) in relation to performance bond obligation.b) The Company, in common with significant majority of insurers, is subject to litigation in the normal course of its business. The Company based on independent legal advice, does not believe that the outcome of these court cases will have a material impact on the Company's income or financial condition and has booked an appropriate provision. | 34 |
| Disclosure of risk management [abstract] | | |
| Disclosure of insurance/ takaful risk [text block] | (a) Insurance riskThe risk under an insurance contract is the risk that an insured event will occur including the uncertainty of the amount and timing of any resulting claim. The principal risk the Company faces under such contracts is that the actual claims and benefit payments exceed the carrying amount of insurance liabilities. This is influenced by the frequency of claims, severity of claims, actual benefits paid being greater than originally estimated and subsequent development of long-term claims.The variability of risks is improved by diversification of risk of loss to a large portfolio of insurance contracts as a more diversified portfolio is less likely to be affected across the board by change in any subset of the portfolio, as well as unexpected outcomes. The variability of risks is also improved by careful selection and implementation of underwriting strategy and guidelines as well as the use of reinsurance arrangements.Significant portion of reinsurance business ceded is placed on treaty and facultative basis with retention limits varying by product lines. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the assumptions used for ascertaining the underlying policy benefits and are presented in the statement of financial position as reinsurance assets.Although the Company has reinsurance arrangements, it is not relieved of its direct obligations to its policyholders and thus a credit exposure exists with respect to reinsurance ceded, to the extent that any reinsurer is unable to meet its obligations assumed under such reinsurance arrangements. | 31 |
| Disclosure of reinsurance/ retakaful risk [text block] | (b) Reinsurance riskIn order to minimize financial exposure arising from large claims, the Company, in the normal course of business, enters into agreements with other parties for reinsurance purposes.To minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies, the Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk arising from similar geographic regions, activities or economic characteristics of the reinsurers.Reinsurers are selected using the following parameters and guidelines set by the Company’s Board of Directors and Reinsurance Committee. The criteria may be summarized as follows:- Minimum acceptable credit rating by recognized rating agencies (e.g. S&P) that is not lower than BBB or equivalent- Reputation of particular reinsurance companies- Existing or past business relationship with the reinsurer.Furthermore, the financial strength and managerial and technical expertise as well as historical performance of the reinsurers, wherever applicable, are thoroughly reviewed by the Company and agreed to pre-set requirements of the Company’s Board of Directors and Reinsurance Committee before approving them for exchange of reinsurance business. As at December 31, 2019 and 2018, there is no significant concentration of reinsurance balances.Reinsurance ceded contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders and as a result the Company remains liable for the portion of outstanding claims reinsured to the extent that the reinsurer fails to meet the obligations under the reinsurance agreements. | 31 |
| Disclosure of currency risk [text block] | Currency RiskCurrency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.The currency exposures of available-for-sale investments are set out below:Insurance Operations 2019 2018 SAR’000Saudi Arabian Riyals and GCC currencies 1,747,078 226,013 US Dollars 1,342,358 2,396,394 3,089,436 2,622,407 Shareholders Operations 2019 2018 SAR’000Saudi Arabian Riyals and GCC currencies 2,289,492 305,652 US Dollars 907,196 2,216,196 3,196,688 2,521,848 The Company’s transactions are principally in Saudi Arabian Riyals and US Dollar. Majority of the reinsurance payables are in US Dollars. Management monitors the fluctuations in currency exchange rates and acts accordingly and believes that the foreign currency risk is not significant. | 31 |
| Disclosure of commission/ special commission rate risk [text block] | Commission Rate RiskThe Company invests in securities and has deposits that are subject to commission rate risk. Commission rate risk to the Company is the risk of changes in commission rates reducing the overall return on its fixed commission rate bearing securities. The Commission rate risk is limited by monitoring changes in commission rates and by investing in floating rate instruments. | 31 |
| Disclosure of market risk [text block] | (c) Market risk (continued)An increase or decrease of 100 basis points in interest yields would result in a change in the loss for the year of SAR 3.6 million (2018: SAR 3.8 million).The commission and non-commission bearing investments of the Company and their maturities as at December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows: Less than 1 year More than 1 year Non-commission bearing TotalInsurance Operations SAR’0002019 Mudaraba/ Murabaha deposits 1,577,912 - - 1,577,912Available for sale investments - 1,219,651 291,873 1,511,524Cash and cash equivalent - - 1,297,401 1,297,401Total 1,577,912 1,219,6511,589,2744,386,837 2018 Mudaraba/ Murabaha deposits 1,387,500 - - 1,387,500Available for sale investments - 1,015,444 219,463 1,234,907Cash and cash equivalent 210,000 - 907,258 1,117,258Total 1,597,500 1,015,444 1,126,721 3,739,665 Shareholders Operations 2019 Mudaraba/ Murabaha deposits 1,961,464 - - 1,961,464Available for sale investments - 388,344 846,880 1,235,224Cash and cash equivalent - - 9,149 9,149Total 1,961,464 388,344856,0293,205,837 2018 Mudaraba/ Murabaha deposits 851,625 - - 851,625Available for sale investments - 448,557 1,221,666 1,670,223Cash and cash equivalent 400,000 - 82,982 482,982Total 1,251,625448,5571,304,6483,004,830 Other Price RiskOther price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from commission rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. The Company's investments amounting SAR 332.9 million (2018: SAR nil) are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainty about the future value of invested securities. The Company limits this nature of market risk by diversifying its invested portfolio and by actively monitoring the developments in markets.The impact of hypothetical change of a 10% increase and 10% decrease in the market prices of investments on Company's profit would be as follows: Fair value change Effect on Company’s income SAR’000December 31, 2019 + / - 10% 33,297December 31, 2018 + / - 10% -The sensitivity analysis presented is based upon the portfolio position as at December 31, 2019 and 2018.
