| Disclosure of statement of compliance [text block] | 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION(a) Statement of complianceThe interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the period ended September 30, 2021 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 - “Interim Financial Reporting” (“IAS 34”) as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other standards and pronouncements issued by the Saudi Organization for Chartered and Professional Accountants (“SOCPA”) and in compliance with Regulations for Companies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and By-Laws of the Company.The Group’s interim condensed consolidated 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 properties, investments in equity accounted investments, available for sale investments, defined benefits obligation and return payable on statutory deposit. All other financial statement line items would generally be classified as current.The Company presents its consolidated 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 interim condensed consolidated financial statements accordingly (Note 20). Assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses clearly attributable to either activities 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 interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position, interim condensed consolidated statement of income, interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income and interim condensed consolidated statement of cash flows of the insurance operations and shareholders operations which are presented in Note 20 of the interim condensed consolidated 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 interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position, interim condensed consolidated statements of income, interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, and interim condensed consolidated statement of 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.In preparing the Group-level interim condensed consolidated 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.The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in Saudi Arabian Riyals (SAR), which is also the functional currency of the Group. All financial information presented in Saudi Arabian Riyal has been rounded to the nearest thousands, except where otherwise indicated.The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the measurement at fair value of available-for-sale investments, investments in equity accounted investments which is accounted for under the equity method and defined benefits obligation based on actuarial valuation techniques. | 2 (a) |
| Disclosure of issued IFRS not yet adopted [text block] | 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION(d) 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 January 1, 2021 and is currently assessing their impact and undergoing implementation plans for them: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 issuers to separate the following components from insurance contracts:i) embedded derivatives, if they meet certain specified criteria;ii) distinct investment components; andiii) 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 2005, 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.Contractual Service Margin (CSM): The CSM represents the unearned profit for a group of insurance contracts and will be recognised 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 statement of income 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 recognised in statement of income.The effect of changes in discount rates will be reported in either statement of income or statement of 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; andii. 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 (GMM) 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 effective date of IFRS 17 is currently 1 January 2023 and will supersede IFRS 4 “Insurance Contracts”. Earlier adoption is permitted if both IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” have also been applied. The Company expects a material impact on measurement and disclosure of insurance and reinsurance that will affect both the consolidated statement of income and the consolidated statement of financial position. The Company has decided not to early adopt this new standard.TransitionRetrospective application is required. However, if full retrospective application for a group of insurance contracts is impractical, 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 and in the process of applying applicable requirements. As of the date of the publication of these interim condensed consolidated 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 IFRS 4. As a result, the financial impact of measuring contracts under IFRS 17 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 IFRS 17 and are then used as part of cash flow projections. The financial statement closing process will also require changes to allow for more frequent interaction between the finance and actuarial teams. Impact on RI Arrangements IFRS 17 is not expected to significantly impact the structure of the reinsurance arrangements currently in place for the Company. It is however expected that further insight into the expected (and subsequently actual) performance of reinsurance treaties will be derived under IFRS 17. 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 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 Company has submitted Phase 3 Implementation plan to SAMA.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 amortised cost, at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI), or at Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVPL). A financial asset is measured at amortised 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 FVOCI and realized gains or losses are recycled through profit or loss upon sale, if both of the following 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 FVPL. Additionally, at initial recognition, an entity can use the option to designate a financial asset at FVPL 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 recognised in profit or loss.Additionally, for financial liabilities that are designated as at FVPL, 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 recognised 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 recognised. 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 International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) is addressing macro hedge accounting as a separate project.iv) Effective dateThe published effective date of IFRS 9 was 1 January 2018. However, amendments to IFRS 4 – Insurance Contracts: Applying IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 – Insurance Contracts, published on 12 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, 2023. On March 17, 2020, IASB decided to extend the effective date of IFRS 17 and the IFRS 9 temporary exemption in IFRS 4 from January 1, 2021 to January 1, 2023. 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 January 1, 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. The Company’s total liabilities were SAR 10,543 million and liabilities connected with insurance in the statement of financial position primarily included the liabilities arising in the course of writing insurance business and were valued at SAR 9,723 million. 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 interim condensed consolidated financial statements.(v) Impact assessmentAs at June 30, 2021, the Company held financial assets at amortized cost consisting of cash and cash equivalents and certain other receivables amounting to SAR 4,260 million (2020: SAR 3,711 million). The Company held available-for-sale investments amounting to SAR 2,630 million (2020: SAR 3,018 million). The Company expect to use the FVOCI classification for 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 SAR 1,192 million (2020: SAR 1,413 million) will be at FVPL under IFRS 9. As at June 30, 2021, debt securities are measured at fair value of SAR 1,353 million (2020: SAR 1,596 million). The Company financial assets have low credit risk as at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. 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. | 2 (d) |
| Disclosure of critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions, general [text block] | (b) Critical accounting judgments, estimates and assumptionsThe preparation of the interim condensed consolidated 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 interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. 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.In preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the significant judgments made by the management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that were applied to the annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)(b) Critical accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions (continued)Following are the accounting judgments and estimates that are critical in preparation of these interim condensed consolidated 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 given the level of subjectivity inherent in estimating the impact of claim events that have occurred and incurred but not reported for which the ultimate outcome remains uncertain. 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.The Company has appointed a qualified actuary who supports in reviewing and providing recommendation with regards to the expected ultimate claims and the associated claims reserves. The Company booked reserves following the recommendation of the appointed actuary who is currently external and independent from the Company. A range of methods were used by the appointed actuary to determine these claims. 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. The actuary had also used a segmentation approach including analysing cost per member per year for the 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.Estimation of premium deficiency is highly sensitive to a number of assumptions as to the future events and conditions. It is based on an expected combined loss ratio for the unexpired portion of the risks for written policies. To arrive at the estimate of the expected combined loss ratio, the company’s external appointed actuary, consider the claims and premiums relationship which is expected to apply on the unearned portion of the written risks, and ascertain, at the end of the financial period, whether a premium deficiency reserve is required.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 the Company’s 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. The Company reviews its debt securities classified as available-for-sale at each reporting date to assess whether they are impaired.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. 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 fair value of financial instruments where no active market exists or where quoted prices are not otherwise available are determined by using valuation techniques. In these cases, the fair values are estimated from observable data in respect of similar financial instruments or using models. Where market observable inputs are not available, they are estimated based on appropriate assumptions. Where valuation techniques (for example, models) are used to determine fair values, they are validated and periodically reviewed. All models are calibrated to ensure that outputs reflect actual data and comparative market prices. To the extent practical, models use only observable data; however, areas such as credit risk (both own credit risk and counterparty risk), volatilities and correlations require management to make estimates. Refer fair value of financial instruments disclosure in note 16. 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)(b) Critical accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions (continued)v) Impact of Covid-19 and Council of Cooperative Heath Insurance (“CCHI”) on technical reserves On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared the Coronavirus (“Covid-19”) outbreak as a pandemic in recognition of its rapid spread across the globe. This outbreak had also affected the GCC region including the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Governments globally took steps to contain the spread of the virus. Saudi Arabia in particular had implemented closure of borders, released social distancing guidelines and enforced country wide lockdowns and curfews. The Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic continues to disrupt global markets as many geographies experienced multiple waves of infections despite having previously controlled the outbreak through aggressive precautionary measures such as imposing restrictions on travel, lockdowns and strict social distancing rules. The Government of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (“the Government”) however has managed to successfully control the outbreak to date. Moreover, beginning October 17, 2021, social distancing requirements have been relaxed. The major impact of Covid-19 pandemic was seen in medical and motor line of business as explained below. As with any estimate, the projections and likelihoods of occurrence are underpinned by significant judgment and rapidly evolving situation and uncertainties surrounding the duration and severity of the pandemic, and therefore, the actual outcomes may be different to those projected. The impact of such uncertain economic environment is judgmental, and the Company will continue to reassess its position and the related impact on a regular basis.Medical technical reservesBased on the management’s assessment, management believes that the Government’s decision to assume the medical treatment costs for both Saudi citizens and expatriates has helped in reducing any unfavourable impact. During the lockdown, the Company experienced a decline in medical reported claims (mainly elective and non-chronic treatment claims) which resulted in a drop in claims experience. However, subsequent to the lifting of lockdown since June 21, 2020, the Company experienced an increase in claims which was in line with the expectations of the Company’s management regarding delayed treatment.CCHI issued a Circular 895, dated December 17, 2020 regarding the procedures, protocols, and prices relating to the enforcement of Article 11. Following these procedures, Government facilities will be now able to bill insurance companies for the claims incurred for some elements of their insured population. As instructed by the CCHI, the new protocols and procedures will cover all new and renewing policies incepting from January 1, 2021. Moreover, this will also cover all emergency cases for all in-force policies as of January 1, 2021.Motor technical reservesIn response to the Covid-19 pandemic, SAMA issued a circular 189 (the “circular”) dated May 8, 2020 to all insurance companies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Amongst other things, the circular instructed insurance companies to extend the period of validity of all existing retail motor insurance policies by a further two months, as well as, providing a two-month additional coverage for all new retail motor policies written within one month of that circular.Management, in conjunction with its appointed actuary, deliberated on a variety of internal factors and concluded, that the Company considers the extension of two months in existing motor policies as new policies and record a premium deficiency reserve, if any, based on the expected claims for the extended two-months period. The Company’s actuary has performed a liability adequacy test using current estimates of future cash flows under its insurance contracts at a segmented level for motor line of business and no additional liability was recorded as premium deficiency reserve as of September 30, 2021.For new policies written as per the above circular, the premium is earned over the period of coverage i.e. 14 months as per the Company’s accounting policy. There is no significant impact of two-month extension in earned premium as of September 30, 2021.The extended policies have expired during the third quarter of 2021 and therefore there will be no subsequent impact of the two-month extension on the performance of the Motor line of business going forward.Other financial assetsTo cater for any potential impact the Covid-19 pandemic may have had on the financial assets, the Company has performed an assessment in accordance with its accounting policy, to determine whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets have been impaired. For debt financial assets, these include assessment factors such as, significant financial difficulties of issuers or debtors, default or delinquency in payments, probability that the issuer or debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization, etc. In case of equities classified as available-for-sale, the Company has performed an assessment to determine whether there is a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of financial assets below their cost basis.Based on these assessments, the Company’s management believes that the Covid-19 pandemic has had no material effects on Company’s reported results for the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2021. The Company’s management continues to monitor the situation closely | 2 (b) |

BASIS OF PREPARATION (e) Segmental reportingA 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 eight reportable segments as follows: Medical - coverage for health insurance. Medical Umrah - coverage for health insurance for pilgrims. Motor insurance - coverage for motor insurance and for Manafeth third party liability insurance for foreign vehicles. Property and Casualty - coverage for property, engineering, marine, aviation, energy and general accidents insurance. General accidents insurance - coverage for pilgrims. Travel and COVID-19 – coverage of compulsory travel insurance in addition to some coverages related to COVID-19 for citizens traveling abroad. Protection & Savings. Teejan Al- Khaleej segment - reporting Teejan Al- Khaleej operations of the Company subsidiary. Income earned from extending consulting services and facilities for insurance and healthcare business. 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 period. | 2 (e) |
