| Nature of auditors opinion | Unmodified opinion |
| Auditors opinion | We have audited the financial statements of Arabian Shield Cooperative Insurance Company (the “Company), which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2021, the statements of income, comprehensive income, statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes from 1 to 38. In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other standards and pronouncements that are issued by Saudi Organization for Chartered and Professional Accountants (“SOCPA”). |
| Basis of opinion | We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the professional code of conduct that are endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with its requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
| Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for financial statements | The Directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other standards and pronouncements that are issued by Saudi Organization for Chartered and Professional Accountants (“SOCPA”), the applicable requirements of the Regulations for Companies and the Company’s Articles of Association / by-laws, and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. |
| Auditors responsibilities for audit of financial statements | Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. |

| Disclosure of new standards and amendments in standards [text block] | This standard was 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 and to all reinsurance contracts and to investment contracts with discretionary participating features provided the entity also issues insurance contracts.It requires separating the following components from insurance contracts:Embedded derivatives if they meet certain specified criteria; Distinct investment components; and Any promise to transfer distinct goods or non-insurance services.

Amendments to IAS 1, ‘Presentation of financial statements’ on classification of liabilities These narrow-scope amendments to IAS 1, ‘Presentation of financial statements’, clarify that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current, depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification is unaffected by the expectations of the entity or events after the reporting date. The amendment also clarifies what IAS 1 means when it refers to the ‘settlement’ of a liability. 2. Amendments to IFRS 3, IAS 16, IAS 37- IFRS 3, ‘Business combinations’ update a reference in IFRS 3 to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting without changing the accounting requirements for business combinations.- IAS 16, ‘Property, and equipment’ prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of property, and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognise such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss.- IAS 37, ‘Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets’ specify which costs a company includes when assessing whether a contract will be loss-making.3. Amendments to IAS 1, Practice statement 2 and IAS 8 The amendments aim to improve accounting policy disclosures and to help users of the financial statements to distinguish between changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies.4. Amendment to IAS 12 – deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction These amendments require companies to recognise deferred tax on transactions that, on initial recognition give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences. | 3c |

| Disclosure of zakat [text block] | Zakat and income tax have been provided for in accordance with regulations currently in force in Saudi Arabia. The temporary and permanent differences between financial and adjusted taxable results are mainly due to adjustments to depreciation, provisions and other items in accordance with the income tax regulations. Deferred tax arising out of these differences is not significant and accordingly was not provided for.Zakat is calculated on Saudi shareholders’ share of adjusted equity subject to a minimum base equal to the relevant share of adjusted net profit. Foreign shareholders are subject to income tax calculated on the relevant share of adjusted net profit. | 21 |
| Disclosure of statutory reserve [text block] | In compliance with the Cooperative Insurance Law, the Implementing Regulations and the By-Laws, 20% of shareholders’ net profit (as defined below) is transferred to statutory reserve at the end of each financial year until the statutory reserve amounts to 100% of the paid capital. In calculating Statutory Reserve, shareholders’ net profit is stated after deducting zakat and income tax charges and excludes other comprehensive income/(loss) items. The Statutory Reserve is not available for distribution but it may be converted to share capital in funding a bonus share issue. | 24 |
| Disclosure of earnings per share [text block] | Earnings per share is calculated by dividing shareholders’ net profit (as defined below) by the weighted average number of issued shares during the period. In calculating earnings per share, shareholders’ net profit is stated after deducting zakat and income tax charges and excludes unrealised investment gains. Earnings per share is calculated based on the revised number of shares in issue following the bonus share issue on 10 June 2021 and prior comparatives have been restated accordingly.As there are no dilutive effects, basic and diluted SAR earnings per share are the same. | 25 |

| Disclosure of risk management [abstract] | ||
| Disclosure of insurance/ takaful risk [text block] | Insurance risk is the risk that actual claims payable to contract holders in respect of insured events exceed the carrying amount of insurance liabilities. This could occur if the frequency, severity or absolute amounts of claims are more than expected. Insurance risk is monitored regularly by the Company to establish if the levels are within the projected frequency bands. The insurance risks arising from insurance contracts are concentrated in Saudi Arabia. Insurance risk is influenced by the frequency, severity and absolute amounts of claims. Careful evaluation of risks through implementation of underwriting strategy, together with the use of reinsurance, reduce risk. The Company underwrites mainly property, accident, motor, medical, marine and group protection and savings risks. These are regarded as short-term insurance contracts as claims are normally advised and settled within one year of the insured event taking place. This diversification and short term nature mitigates risk. | 30A |
| Disclosure of reinsurance/ retakaful risk [text block] | The Company effects reinsurance with other parties in the normal course of business in order to minimise its financial exposure to potential losses arising from large insurance claims. The reinsurance is affected under treaty, facultative and excess of loss reinsurance contracts.To minimise 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 parameters such as minimum acceptable credit rating, reputation and past performance. Local companies who do not carry a formal credit rating are accepted to a limited degree provided they are registered with and approved by local Regulators.Although the Company has reinsurance arrangements it is not relieved of its direct obligations to its policyholders in the event that a reinsurer failed to meet its obligations. | 30B |
| Disclosure of currency risk [text block] | Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company primarily transacts in Saudi Riyals and at any time balances held in other currencies are of immaterial amounts only and therefore the Company believes that there is minimal risk of significant losses due to exchange rate fluctuations. | 30D |
| Disclosure of credit risk [text block] | Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The maximum exposure of the Company to credit risk if a default was made by the counter party is equal to the carrying amount of these financial instruments.The Company seeks to limit credit risk with respect to customers by constant monitoring of outstanding receivables. The Company seeks to limit credit risk with respect to agents and brokers by, on a selective basis, setting credit limits, maintenance of cash deposits with the Company and monitoring of outstanding receivables.The Company seeks to limit credit risk with respect to bank time deposits by only dealing with reputable banks and by generally placing deposits for periods of not more than twelve months. To minimise its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies, the parties with whom reinsurance is effected are required to have a minimum acceptable security rating level affirming their financial strength. | 30C |
| Disclosure of liquidity risk [text block] | Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its commitments associated with financial liabilities when they fall due.Liquidity requirements are monitored on a monthly basis and the Company has ensured that sufficient liquid funds are available to meet any commitments as they arise. | 30F |
