| Auditors report [line items] | |
| Disclosures of auditors report [text block] | We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed statement of financial position of Salama Cooperative Insurance Company (A Saudi Joint Stock Company) (the "Company") as at 31 March 2020, and the related interim condensed statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three month period then ended, and notes to the interim condensed financial statements. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these interim condensed financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 - "Interim Financial Reporting" (IAS 34) as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim condensed financial statements based on our review. |
| Contents of auditors report [abstract] | |
| Nature of auditors opinion | Unmodified opinion |
| Auditors opinion | Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. |
| Basis of opinion | We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A review of interim condensed financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. |
| Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for financial statements | Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these interim condensed financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 - "Interim Financial Reporting" (IAS 34) as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia |
| Auditors responsibilities for audit of financial statements | Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim condensed financial statements based on our review. |

Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these interim condensed financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 - "Interim Financial Reporting" (IAS 34) as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim condensed financial statements based on our review. | |
| Disclosure of general information about reporting entity [abstract] | ||
| Disclosure of general information about reporting entity [text block] | Salama Cooperative Insurance Company (“the Company”) is a Saudi Joint Stock Company incorporated in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as per the Ministry of Commerce and Industry’s Resolution number 1121K dated 29 Rabi Al-Thani 1428H (corresponding to 16 May 2007). The Company is registered in Jeddah under Commercial Registration No. 4030169661 dated 6 Jamad Al-Awwal I428H (corresponding to 23 May 2007). The Registered Office address of the Company is:Salama Tower;Al Madinah RoadP.O. Box 4020;Jeddah 21491;Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.The objective of the Company is to transact cooperative insurance operations and related activities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Company was listed on the Saudi Stock Exchange on 23 May 2007. The Company started its operations on 1 January 2008. The Company is fully owned by the general public and Saudi shareholders.The Company received the approval letters from the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority (SAMA) and Ministry of Commerce and Investment regarding the amendment of the Company’s by-laws to be in accordance with the new companies’ regulations. The Company’s general assembly was held on 11 Ramadan 1438H (corresponding to 6 June 2017) and accordingly the new by-laws was approved. | |
| Disclosure of basis of preparation of financial statements [text block] | The interim condensed financial statements of the Company as at and for the period ended 31 March 2020 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 Organisation for Certified Public Accountants (“SOCPA”).The financial statements of the Company for the three months period ended 31 March 2020 and 31 March December 2019, were prepared in compliance with the IAS 34 and the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) respectively, 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 Company’s By-laws and the Regulations for Companies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.During 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 as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other standards and pronouncements issued by the Saudi Organisation for Certified Public Accountants (“SOCPA”).Accordingly, the Company 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 (a) to the interim condensed financial statements)..The interim condensed financial information is prepared under the going concern basis of accounting and the historical cost convention, except for the measurement of investments (excluding held-to-maturity) at their fair value, and end of service indemnities which are assessed using projected unit credit method.The Company’s interim statement of financial position is presented in order of liquidity. Except for property and equipment, statutory deposit, employee benefits, outstanding claims, claims incurred but not reported, other technical reserves, all other assets and liabilities are of short-term nature, unless, stated otherwise.As required by the Saudi Arabian Insurance Regulations (the Implementation Regulations), the Company maintains separate books of accounts for “Insurance Operations” and “Shareholders’ Operations”. Accordingly, assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses clearly attributable to either operation, are recorded in the respective accounts.The interim condensed financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2019. The interim condensed financial statements may not be considered indicative of the expected results for the full year.These interim condensed financial statements are expressed in Saudi Arabian Riyals (SR) and are rounded off to the nearest thousands. | |
| Disclosure of accounting framework used in preparation of financial statements [text block] | The preparation of interim condensed financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.In preparing these interim condensed financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies, and the key sources of estimation uncertainty including the risk management policies, were the same as those that applied to the annual financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2019. However, the Company has reviewed the key sources of estimation uncertainties disclosed in the last annual financial statements against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic. Management is unable at this time to reasonably quantify the estimation uncertainties as disclosed in note 19 to these interim condensed financial statements. Management will continue to assess the situation, and reflect any required changes in future reporting periods. | |

New IFRS Standards, IFRIC interpretations and amendments thereof, adopted by the Company The following new standards, amendments and revisions to existing standards, which were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) have been effective from 1 January 2020 and accordingly adopted by the Company, as applicable: Standard/ Amendments DescriptionAmendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 Definition of MaterialAmendments to IFRS 3 Definition of a BusinessConceptual Framework Amendments to References to Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards The adoption of the amended standards and interpretations applicable to the Company did not have any significant impact on these interim condensed financial statementsStandards issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of the Company’s interim condensed financial statements are listed below. The Company intends to adopt these standards when they become effective.Standard/ Interpretation Description Effective from periods beginning on or after the following date IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts See note belowIFRS 9 Financial Instruments See note belowIFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts This standard has been published on 18 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; 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). | |
| Disclosure of issued IFRS not yet adopted [text block] | Standards issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of the Company’s interim condensed financial statements are listed below. The Company intends to adopt these standards when they become effective.Standard/ Interpretation Description Effective from periods beginning on or after the following date IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts See note belowIFRS 9 Financial Instruments See note belowIFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts This standard has been published on 18 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; 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). Measurement In 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 model 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 but the CSM cannot be negative, so changes in future cash flows that are greater than the remaining CSM are recognized in profit or loss. Interest is also accreted on the CSM at rates locked in at initial recognition of a contract (i.e. discount rate used at inception to determine the present value of the estimated cash flows). Moreover, the CSM will be released into profit or loss based on coverage units, reflecting the quantity of the benefits provided and the expected coverage duration of the remaining contracts in the group. 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, the CSM is also adjusted for in addition to adjustment under general model; i) changes in the entity’s share of the fair value of underlying items, ii) changes in the effect of the time value of money and 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 the remaining coverage if it provides a measurement that is not materially different from the general 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 model remains applicable for the measurement of 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 date The 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 1 January 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, 2023. This is a deferral of 1 year compared to the previous date of 1 January 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 intend to apply the standard on its effective date.Transition Retrospective 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 Disclosures The 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. | |

| Description of accounting policy for fair value measurement [text block] | Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction takes place either:- in the accessible principal market for the asset or liability, or- in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantages accessible market for the asset or liabilityThe fair values of on-balance sheet financial instruments are not significantly different from their carrying amounts included in the interim condensed financial information.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 prices in active markets for the same or identical instrument that an entity can access at the measurement date;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; andLevel 3: valuation techniques for which any significant input is not based on observable market data. |
