| Nature of auditors opinion | Unmodified opinion | ||||
| Auditors opinion | We have audited the financial statements of Al-Etihad Cooperative Insurance Company (formerly Trade Union Cooperative Insurance Company), (A Saudi Joint Stock Company) (the “Company”), which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2019, and the statements of income, other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended and the summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2019, and its financial performance 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 issued by Saudi Organization for Certified Public Accountants (“SOCPA”). | ||||
| Basis of opinion | We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (“ISAs”) as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the “Auditors’ 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 and ethics, as 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 these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. | ||||
| Key audit matters | Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For the matter below, a description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context: Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Valuation of ultimate claim liabilities arising from insurance contracts As at December 31, 2019, outstanding claims, claims incurred but not reported (IBNR), additional premium reserves and other technical reserves amounted to Saudi Riyals 185.35 million, Saudi Riyals 129.43 million, Saudi Riyals 22.76 million and Saudi Riyals 6.17 million respectively as reported in Note 9.1 to the financial statements. The estimation of ultimate insurance contract liabilities involves a significant degree of judgment. The liabilities are based on the best-estimate of ultimate cost of all claims incurred but not settled at a given date, whether reported or not, together with the related claims handling costs. In particular, estimates of IBNR and the use of actuarial and statistical projections involve significant judgment. A range of actuarial methods are used by the actuary to determine these technical reserves. Underlying these methods are a number of explicit or implicit assumptions relating to the expected settlement amount and settlement patterns of claims. We considered this as a key audit matter since use of management assumptions and judgements could result in material overstatement / understatement of the Company’s profitability. The Company’s disclosures about the significant accounting policies of the above mentioned key audit matter are included in Note 3 to the financial statements. We understood and evaluated key controls around the claims handling and technical reserve setting processes of the Company including completeness and accuracy of claims data used in the actuarial reserving process. We evaluated the competence, capabilities and objectivity of the management’s expert by examining their professional qualifications and experiences In obtaining sufficient audit evidence to assess the integrity of data used as inputs into the actuarial valuations, we tested on sample basis, the completeness and accuracy of underlying claims data utilized by the Company’s actuary in estimating the IBNR by comparing it to accounting records. In order to assess management’s methodologies and assumptions, we were assisted by our actuary specialist to understand and evaluate the Company’s actuarial practices and the technical reserves established. In order to obtain comfort over the Company’s actuarial report, our actuarial specialist performed the following: Evaluated whether the Company’s actuarial methodologies were consistent with those used in the industry and with prior periods. Assessed key actuarial assumptions including claims historical experience, ratios and expected frequency and severity of claims. We assessed these assumptions by comparing them with our expectations based on the Company’s current trends and our own industry knowledge. Reviewed the appropriateness of the calculation methods and approach along with the assumptions used and sensitivities to the key assumptions. | ||||
| Other matters | Management is responsible for the other information in the Company’s annual report. Other information consists of the information included in the Company’s 2019 annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon, which is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors’ report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance. | ||||
| Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for financial statements | Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS, as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other standards and pronouncements issued by SOCPA, the applicable requirements of the Regulations for Companies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Company’s by-laws, and for such internal control as management determines 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 Management is 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 the Management either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance (i.e. Board of Directors) are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process. | ||||
| 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 International Standards on Auditing “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. As part of an audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (“ISAs”) as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management. Conclude on the appropriateness of the Managements’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. | ||||

| Disclosure of general information about reporting entity [text block] | Al-Etihad Cooperative Insurance Company (formerly Trade Union Cooperative Insurance Company) (A Saudi Joint Stock Company incorporated in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia), “the Company”, was formed pursuant to Royal Decree No. M/25 dated 15 Rabea I 1428H corresponding to 3 April 2007. The Company operates under Commercial Registration no. 2051036304 dated 21 Muharram 1429H corresponding to 30 January 2008. The registered address of the Company's head office is as follows: Al-Etihad Cooperative Insurance Company (Formerly Trade Union Cooperative Insurance Company) Head Office King Fahad Road P.O. Box 1022 Khobar 31952, Saudi Arabia The purpose of the Company is to transact cooperative insurance operations and all related activities in accordance with the Law on Supervision of Cooperative Insurance Companies (the “Law”) and it’s implementing regulations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Its principal lines of business include medical, motor, property, engineering, general accident and others. On 31 July 2003, corresponding to 2 Jumada II 1424 H, the Law on the Supervision of Cooperative Insurance Companies (“Insurance Law”) was promulgated by Royal Decree Number (M/32). On 23 Rabea I 1429H, corresponding to 31 March 2008, 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 the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. On April 18, 2018 corresponding to 2 Sha’ban 1439, an Extraordinary General Assembly meeting was held to approve changing the name of the Company from “Trade Union Cooperative Insurance Company” to “Al-Etihad Cooperative Insurance Company”. SAMA’s approval on the change was obtained on November 5, 2017 corresponding to 16 Safar 1439H. During the year all legal requirements were completed. Al-Etihad Cooperative Insurance Company announced its receipt on Tuesday 30 Jamada Al Awal, 1440H corresponding to February 5, 2019 of the letter of the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency No. 34002/89 containing its decision to prevent the Company from accepting new subscribers in motor insurance as of the date of the letter due to the existence of a number of violations related to the settlement of motor claims and customer care.

| Disclosure of basis of preparation of financial statements [text block] | These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as endorsed in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other standards and pronouncements issued by the Saudi Organization for Certified Public Accountants (“SOCPA”). The financial statements of the company for the year ended December 31, 2018 were prepared in accordance with 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). On July 23, 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”). 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) and the effects of this change are disclosed in note 24 to the financial statements. The financial statement is prepared under the going concern basis and the historical cost convention, except for the measurement at fair value of investments in held for trading and investments available for sale and defined benefit obligation which is recognized at the present value of future obligation using the projected unit credit method. The Company’s statement of financial position is not presented using a current/non-current classification. Except for property and equipment, intangibles, statutory deposit, goodwill, end-of-service indemnities, accrued income on statutory deposit and engineering related unearned premiums, unearned reinsurance commission, deferred policy acquisition cost, outstanding claims, claims incurred but not reported and technical reserves, all other assets and liabilities are of short-term nature, unless, stated otherwise. 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 under note 35. 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 shareholder’s operations which are presented in note 35 of the financial statements have been provided as supplementary financial information and to comply with the requirements of the guidelines issued by SAMA implementing regulations. 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, other 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 gains or losses of the respective operations. In preparing the Company level financial statements in compliance with IFRS, the balances and transactions of the insurance operations are combined with those of the shareholders’ operations. Interoperation balances, transactions and unrealized gains or losses, if any, are eliminated in full. The accounting policies adopted for the insurance operations and shareholders’ operations are uniform for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. These financial statements have been presented in Saudi Arabian Riyals (SAR), which is also the functional currency of the Company. All financial information presented in Saudi Arabian Riyal has been rounded to the nearest Riyal, except where otherwise indicated. The Company follows a fiscal year ending December 31. | 2 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Disclosure of critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions, general [text block] | The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of judgments and estimates 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 judgments and estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates. Judgments and estimates 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. Following are the accounting judgments and estimates that are critical in preparation of these financial statements: Judgements In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements. Initial recognition of investments Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, available for sale financial assets, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. Impairment of equity investments The Company treats equity financial assets available for sale as impaired when there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost or where other objective evidence of impairment exists. The determination of what is "significant" or "prolonged" requires considerable judgment. A period of six months or longer is considered to be prolonged and a decline of 25% from original cost is considered significant as per Company policy. In making this judgment, the Company 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. Estimation and assumptions: The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the statement of financial position date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below: Fair value measurement of financial instruments Where the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded on the statement of financial position cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques that include the use of discounted cash flow models and/or mathematical models. The inputs to these models are derived from observable market data where possible, but where observable market data are not available, judgement is required to establish fair values. The judgements include considerations of liquidity risk, credit risk, and model inputs such as volatility for longer dated derivatives and discount rates, prepayment rates and default rate assumptions for asset backed securities. For discounted cash flow analysis, estimated future cash flows and discount rates are based on current market information and rates applicable to financial instruments with similar yields, credit quality and maturity characteristics. Estimated future cash flows are influenced by factors such as economic conditions (including country specific risks), concentrations in specific industries, types of instruments or currencies, market liquidity and financial conditions of counterparties. Discount rates are influenced by risk free interest rates and credit risk. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. Estimation and assumptions (Continued) Valuation of insurance contract liabilities Estimates have to be made both for the expected ultimate cost of claims reported at the reporting date and for the expected ultimate cost of claims incurred but not yet reported at the reporting date (IBNR). It can take a significant period of time before the ultimate claims cost can be established with certainty. For some types of policies, IBNR claims form the majority of the liability in the statement of financial position. The ultimate cost of outstanding claims is estimated by using a range of standard actuarial claims projection techniques. The main assumption underlying these techniques is the Company’s past claims settlement experience can be used to project future claims settlement and hence ultimate claims costs. As such, these methods extrapolate the settlement of paid and incurred losses, average costs per claim and claim numbers based on the observed settlement of earlier years and expected loss ratios. Historical claims settlement is mainly analysed by accident years, but can also be further analysed by geographical area, as well as by significant business lines and claim types. Large claims are usually separately addressed, either by being reserved at the face value of loss adjuster estimates or separately projected in order to reflect their future settlement. In most cases, no explicit assumptions are made regarding future rates of claims inflation or loss ratios. Instead, the assumptions used are those implicit in the historical claims settlement data on which the projections are based. Additional qualitative judgment is used to assess the extent to which past trends may not apply in future, (e.g. to reflect one-off occurrences, changes in external or market factors such as public attitudes to claiming, economic conditions, levels of claims inflation, judicial decisions and legislation, as well as internal factors such as portfolio mix, policy features and claims handling procedures) in order to arrive at the estimated ultimate cost of claims that present the likely outcome from the range of possible outcomes, taking account of all the uncertainties involved. Similar judgments, estimates and assumptions are employed in the assessment of adequacy of provisions for unearned premium. Judgment is also required in determining whether the pattern of insurance service provided by a contract requires amortisation of unearned premium on a basis other than time apportionment. Impairment losses on receivables The Company assesses receivables that are individually significant and receivables included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics for impairment. Receivables that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment. This assessment of impairment requires judgment. In making this judgment, the Company evaluates credit risk characteristics that consider past-due status being indicative of the ability to pay all amounts due as per contractual terms. The Company classifies balances as “past due but not impaired (note 8) on the basis of the guidelines given by SAMA. Deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”) Certain acquisition costs related to the sale of policies are recorded as DAC and are amortized in the statement of income over the related period of policy coverage. If the assumptions relating to future profitability of these policies are not realised, the amortisation of these costs could be accelerated and this may also require additional im.pairment/write-offs in the statement of income. Useful life of property and equipment The Company’s management determines the estimated useful lives of its property and equipment before calculating depreciation. These estimates are determined after considering the expected usage of the assets or physical wear and tear. Management reviews the residual values and useful lives annually and future depreciation charges would be adjusted where the management believes the useful lives differ from previous estimates. Goodwill impairment testing The Company determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill is allocated. Estimating the value in use requires the Company to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the cash-generating unit and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. | 4 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Disclosure of summary of significant accounting policies, general comment [text block] | The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements are summarized below. These policies have been consistently applied to each of the years presented except for adoption of the new standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards mentioned below, which are effective from period beginning on or after January 1, 2019 3.1 New IFRS, International Financial Reporting and Interpretations Committee’s interpretations (IFRIC) and amendments thereof, adopted by the Company The Company has applied, for the first time, IFRS 16 Leases that requires restatement of previous financial statements. As required, the nature and effect of these changes are disclosed below. Several other amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2019, however do not have an impact on the financial statement of the Company. 3.1.1 IFRS 16 – Leases The date of initial application of IFRS 16 for the Company is January 1, 2019. The Company has adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach, hence, restatement of the comparative information is not required. IFRS 16 – Leases, applicable for the period beginning on or after January 1, 2019 supersedes 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 Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. The standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model, except for short term leases and lease of low value asset. Impact of the new definition of a lease The Company adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective method of adoption with the date of initial application of January 1, 2019. Under this method, the standard is applied retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application. The Company elected to use the transition practical expedient allowing the standard to be applied only to contracts that were previously identified as leases applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 at the date of initial application. The Company also elected to use the recognition exemptions for lease contracts that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not contain a purchase option (‘short-term leases’), and lease contracts for which the underlying asset is of low value (‘low-value assets’). 3.1 New IFRS, International Financial Reporting and Interpretations Committee’s interpretations (IFRIC) and amendments thereof, adopted by the Company (Continued) 3.1.1 IFRS 16 – Leases (Continued) Impact of the new definition of a lease (Continued) The change in definition of a lease mainly relates to the concept of control. IFRS 16 determines whether a contract contains a lease on the basis of whether the customer has the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The effect of adoption IFRS 16 as at January 1, 2019 (increase/(decrease)) is as follows:
The application of IFRS 16 to leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17 resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets and leases liabilities. It resulted in a decrease in rent expense and an increase amortization expense and in interest expense. Nature of the effect of adoption of IFRS 16 The Company has lease contracts mainly for rented properties. Before the adoption of IFRS 16, the Company classified each of its leases (as lessee) at the inception date as either a finance lease or an operating lease. A lease was classified as a finance lease if it transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset to the Company, otherwise it was classified as an operating lease. In an operating lease, the leased property was not capitalized and the lease payments were recognized as rent expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Any prepaid rent and accrued rent were recognized under prepayments and accrued and other liabilities, respectively. Upon adoption of IFRS 16, the Company applied a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The standard provides specific transition requirements and practical expedients, which has been applied by the Company. In case of leases previously accounted for as operating leases, the Company recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for those leases previously classified as operating leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The right-of-use assets for most leases were recognized based on the carrying amount as if the standard had always been applied, apart from the use of incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application. The right-of-use assets were recognized based on the amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted for any related prepaid and accrued lease payments previously recognized. 3.1 New IFRS, International Financial Reporting and Interpretations Committee’s interpretations (IFRIC) and amendments thereof, adopted by the Company (Continued) 3.1.1 IFRS 16 – Leases (Continued) Nature of the effect of adoption of IFRS 16 (Continued) Lease liabilities were recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application. Set out below are the new accounting policies of the Company upon adoption of IFRS 16, which have been applied from the date of initial application: Right-of-use assets The Company recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any re-measurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received and restoration cost. Unless the Company is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the recognized right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term. If the company is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over underlying assets’ useful life. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment. Lease liabilities At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company and payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising the option to terminate. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expense in the period on which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. Incremental borrowing rate is the rate that the individual lessee would pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is premeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset. Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit and loss over the lease period so as to produce constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability of each year. 3.1 New IFRS, International Financial Reporting and Interpretations Committee’s interpretations (IFRIC) and amendments thereof, adopted by the Company (Continued) 3.1.1 IFRS 16 – Leases (Continued) Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption. Lease payments on short term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Significant judgement in determining the lease term of contracts with renewal options The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised. Amounts to be recognized in the statement of financial position and statement of income mainly relate to the carrying amounts of the Company’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities along with the related movements during the year ended December 31, 2019 are set out below:
3.1.1 Adoption of other New Standards, amendments and interpretations
The adoption of the relevant new and amended standards and interpretations applicable to the Company did not have any significant impact on these financial statements except for the application of IFRS 16 which is detailed above. 3.1 New Standards, amendments and interpretations not yet applied by the Company Standards issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of the Company’s financial statements are listed below. The listing is of standards and interpretations issued, which the Company reasonably expects to be applicable at a future date. The Company intends to adopt these standards when they become effective.
The Company does not expect any significant impact on the financial statements except for the application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 as mentioned below. IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts Overview This standard has been published on May 18, 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). 3.1 New Standards, amendments and interpretations not yet applied by the Company (Continued) IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts (Continued) 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 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, so changes in future cash flows that are greater than the remaining CSM are recognized in profit or loss. The effect of change in discount rates will be reported in either profit or loss or other comprehensive income, determined by any 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 under GMM, the CSM is also adjusted for: i. the entity’s share of the changes in 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. 3.2 New Standards, amendments and interpretations not yet applied by the Company (Continued) IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts (Continued) 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 Measurement Model for the group of contracts 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 date The IASB issued an Exposure Draft Amendments to IFRS 17 proposing certain 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. 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 and reinsurance, together with amendments to presentation and disclosures. 3.2 New Standards, amendments and interpretations not yet applied by the Company (Continued) IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts (Continued) Impact 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 Company has undertaken a Gap Analysis and the key areas of Gaps are as follows:
The Company has started with their implementation process and have set up a project team supervised by a steering committee. 3.2 New Standards, amendments and interpretations not yet applied by the Company (Continued) 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: a) 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: i. the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and ii. 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: i. 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 ii. 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. b) 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. 3.2 New Standards, amendments and interpretations not yet applied by the Company (Continued) IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments (Continued) c) 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. Effective date The published effective date of IFRS 9 was January 1, 2018. However, amendments to IFRS 4 – Insurance Contracts: Applying IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 – Insurance Contracts, published on September 12, 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: 1. apply a temporary exemption from implementing IFRS 9 until the earlier of a. the effective date of a new insurance contract standard; or b. 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 2. 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 01, 2017: (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. 3.2 New Standards, amendments and interpretations not yet applied by the Company (Continued) IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments (Continued) Impact assessment As at December 31, 2019, the Company has total financial assets and insurance related assets amounting to SR 1,329 million and SR 125 million, respectively. Currently, financial assets held at amortized cost consist of cash and cash equivalents and certain other receivables amounting to SR 1,204 million (2018: SR 1,253 million). The company does not have any unit linked investments held at fair value through statement of income as at December 31, 2019. Other financial assets consist of available for sale investments amounting to SR 125 million (2018: SR 113 million). The Company expect to use the FVOCI classification of these 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 classified under available for sale investments will be at FVSI under IFRS 9. Credit risk exposure, concentration of credit risk and credit quality of these financial assets are mentioned in note 32. 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. 3.3 Change in the accounting for zakat and income tax: As mentioned above, the basis of preparation has been changed for the year ended December 31, 2019 as a result of the issuance of latest instructions from SAMA in July 2019. Previously, zakat and income tax were recognized in the statement of changes in equity as per the SAMA circular no 381000074519 dated April 11, 2017. With the latest instructions issued by SAMA in 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 2) and the effects of the above change are disclosed in note 24 to the financial statements. The change has resulted in reduction of reported income of the Company for year ended December 31, 2018 by SR 18 million. The change has had no impact on the statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018. Accounting Policy: Income tax The income tax expense or credit for the year is the tax payable on the current year’s taxable income, based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the company operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions, where appropriate, on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Adjustments arising from the final income tax assessments are recorded in the period in which such assessments are made. The income tax expense or credit for the year is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate. IFRIC Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment The Interpretation addresses the accounting for income taxes when tax treatments involve uncertainty that affects the application of IAS 12 Income Taxes. It does not apply to taxes or levies outside the scope of IAS 12, nor does it specifically include requirements relating to interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax treatments. The Interpretation specifically addresses the following: Whether an entity considers uncertain tax treatments separately The assumptions an entity makes about the examination of tax treatments by taxation authorities How an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates How an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances An entity has to determine whether to consider each uncertain tax treatment separately or together with one or more other uncertain tax treatments. The approach that better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty needs to be followed. 3.3 Change in the accounting for zakat and income tax (Continued) IFRIC Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment (Continued) The Company applies significant judgement in identifying uncertainties over income tax treatments. Since the Company operates in a complex multinational environment, it assessed whether the Interpretation had an impact on its financial statements. Upon adoption of the Interpretation, the Company considered whether it has any uncertain tax positions, particularly those relating to transfer pricing. The Company include deductions related to transfer pricing and the taxation authorities may challenge those tax treatments. The Company determined, based on its tax compliance and transfer pricing study, that it is probable that its tax treatments will be accepted by the taxation authorities. The Interpretation did not have an impact on the financial statements of the Company. Zakat: The Company is subject to Zakat in accordance with the regulations of the General Authority of Zakat and Income Tax (“GAZT”). Zakat expense is charged to the statement of income. Zakat is not accounted for as income tax and as such no deferred tax is calculated relating to zakat. 3.4 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The significant accounting policies used in preparing these financial statements are set out below: Product classification Insurance contracts Insurance contracts are those contracts when the Company (“the insurer”) has accepted significant insurance risk from another party (“the policyholders”) by agreeing to compensate the policyholders if a specified uncertain future event (“the insured event”) adversely affects the policyholders. As a general guideline, the Company determines whether it has significant insurance risk, by comparing benefits payable after an insured event with benefits payable if the insured event did not occur. Insurance contracts can also transfer financial risk. Investment contracts Investment contracts are those contracts that transfer significant financial risk but not significant insurance risk. Financial risk is the risk of a possible future change in one or more of a specified interest rate, financial instrument price, commodity price, foreign exchange rate, index of price or rates, a credit rating or credit index or the other variables, provided in the case of a non-financial variable that the variable is not specific to a party to the contract. Once a contract has been classified as an insurance contract, it remains an insurance contract for the remainder of its lifetime, even if the insurance risk reduces significantly during this period, unless all rights and obligations are extinguished or expired. Investment contracts can, however be reclassified as insurance contracts after inception if insurance risk becomes significant. Goodwill Goodwill is initially measured at excess of the fair value of the consideration paid over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Company’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquire are assigned to those units. Where goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit (CGU) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in these circumstances is measured based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU (or group of CGUs) to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods. Property and equipment Property and equipment are initially recorded at cost and are carried subsequently at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. 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. Depreciation is charged to the statement of income on a straight-line basis based on the following estimated useful lives: Years Leasehold improvements 10 Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 4 - 10 The 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. The 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. Intangible assets Intangible assets are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. The intangible asset comprises of software and related implementation costs. All these costs relating to the software package are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over a period of five years. The amortization expense on intangible assets is recognised in the statement of income. Policy acquisition costs Commission paid to internal sales staff and incremental direct costs incurred in relation to the acquisition and renewal of insurance contracts are capitalised as an intangible asset. The deferred policy acquisition costs are subsequently amortised over the terms of the insurance contracts to which they relate as premiums are earned. The amortization is recorded in the “Policy Acquisition Cost” in the statement of income. Financial instruments Financial instruments is any contract gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial instruments comprise financial assets and financial liabilities. The Company’s financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, investments held for trading, investments available for sale, premiums and insurance balances receivable, reinsurer’s share of outstanding claims, amounts due from related parties, amounts due from shareholders and other assets. Its financial liabilities consist of gross outstanding claims, reinsurance balances payable, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties, amounts due to shareholder’s operations, statutory deposit commission income payable and other liabilities. Fair values measurement 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 to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either: - In the principal market for the asset or liability, or - In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Company. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole: - 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; and - Level 3 - valuation techniques for which any significant input is not based on observable market data. For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. Trade date accounting All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized /derecognized on the trade date (i.e. the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the assets). Regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are transactions that require settlement of assets within the time frame generally established by regulation or convention in the market place. Investments All investments, excluding those held for trading, are initially recognized at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given including transaction cost associated with the Investments. Investments held for trading Investments which are bought with the intention of resale in the short term are classified as trading investments. Such investments are measured and carried in the financial position at fair value. Unrealised gains and losses are included in the statement of income for the financial period. Investments available for sale These represent investments which are neither bought with the intention of being held to maturity nor for trading purposes. Such investments are stated at fair value. Changes in fair value are credited or charged to the statement of comprehensive income. Where there is objective evidence that investments may be impaired, the estimated recoverable amount of those investments is determined and any impairment loss for the difference between the recoverable amount and the carrying amount is recognized in the statement of income. Determination of fair values of investments For investment traded in active market, fair value is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices. For unquoted equity investments, fair value is determined by reference to the market value of similar investments or is based on the expected discounted cash flows and other relevant factors. Cost is considered to be the fair value where there is no reliable fair value information is available for such investments. Where partial holdings are sold, the related carrying values of such investments are accounted for on a weighted average basis. De-recognition Financial assets A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized (i.e., removed from the Company’s statement of financial position) when: - The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or - The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (a) The Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) The Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset. Financial liabilities A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same party on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of income. Impairment of financial assets Financial assets carried at amortized cost The Company assesses at each end of the reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that have occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed by adjusting the allowance account. The amount of the reversal is recognized in the statement of income. Available-for-sale investments The Company assesses at each date of the statement of financial position whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity investments classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is an objective evidence of impairment resulting in the recognition of an impairment loss. The cumulative loss, measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in profit or loss is removed from shareholders’ equity and recognized in the statement of income. If in a subsequent period the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available-for-sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, the impairment loss is reversed through the statement of income of income. Financial assets carried at cost Impairment is the difference between the cost and the present value of future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Impairment of non-financial assets The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators. The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Company’s CGU, to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations generally cover a period of five years. For longer periods, a long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of income. Goodwill Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units, to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units is less than their carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. The Company performs its annual impairment test of goodwill as at 31 December. The recoverable amount of the non-life insurance business CGU and investment management services business CGU have been determined based on a value in use calculation. The calculation requires the Company to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from each of the CGUs and discount these amounts using a suitable rate which reflects the risk of those cash flows in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. Previously recorded impairment losses for goodwill are not reversed in future periods. Premiums receivable and reinsurance receivable are recognized when due and measured on initial recognition at the fair value of the considerations received or receivable and are stated at gross less allowance for any uncollectable amount (allowance for doubtful debts) and any impairment in value. Bad debts are written off as incurred. The carrying value of premiums receivable and reinsurance receivable is reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, with the impairment loss recorded in the statement of income. Premiums receivable and reinsurance receivable are derecognized when the de-recognition criteria for financial assets have been met. Accounts payable and accruals Liabilities are recognized for amounts to be paid in the future for services received, whether or not billed to the Company. Revenue recognition Premium and reinsurance commissions Premiums and commission are recorded in the statement of income over the terms of the policies to which they relate on a pro-rata basis. The portion of premiums, reinsurance share of premiums and reinsurance commissions that will be earned in the future is reported as unearned premiums and unearned reinsurance commissions, respectively, and is deferred based on the following methods: - Premium written in last three months of the period 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 increase towards the end of the tenure of the policy; and - Actual number of days for other lines of business. Unearned 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. Interest income Interest income from time deposits is recognized on an accrual basis. Dividend income Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive a dividend is established. Claims Gross claims consist of benefits and claims paid to policyholders and third parties, and related loss adjustments expenses, net of salvage and other recoveries and are charged to the statement of income as incurred changes in the valuation of the liabilities arising on policyholders’ contracts and internal and external claims handling expenses. 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. Any difference between the provisions at the statement of financial position date and settlements and provisions in the following year is included in the statement of income of for that year. 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. Reinsurance claims Reinsurance claims are recognised when the related gross insurance claim is recognised according to the terms of the relevant contract. Reinsurance Contracts entered into by the Company with reinsurers under which the Company is compensated for losses on one or more contracts issued by the Company and that meet the classification requirements for insurance contracts are classified as reinsurance contracts. Contracts that do not meet these classification requirements are classified as financial assets. The Company’s reinsurance program is affected through proportional, non-proportional and facultative placements based on the Company’s net retention policy, treaty limits, nature and size of the risks. The Company cedes insurance risk in the normal course of business for all of its businesses. Reinsurance assets represent balances due from reinsurance companies. Recoverable amounts are estimated in a manner consistent with the outstanding claims provision and are in accordance with the reinsurance contract. An impairment review is performed at each statement of financial position date or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises during the reporting year. Impairment occurs when objective evidence exists that the Company may not recover outstanding amounts under the terms of the contract and when the impact on the amounts that the Company will receive from the reinsurer can be measured reliably. The impairment loss is recorded in the statement of income. Ceded reinsurance arrangements do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders. Premium and claims on assumed reinsurance are recognised as revenue and expenses in the same manner as they would be if the reinsurance were considered direct business, taking into account the product classification of the reinsured business. Reinsurance liabilities represent balances due to reinsurance companies. Amounts payable are estimated in a manner consistent with the associated reinsurance contract. Reinsurance assets or liabilities are derecognised when the contractual rights are extinguished or expire or when the contract is transferred to another party. Reinsurance (Continued) Premium and claims are presented on a gross basis. Claims recoveries receivable from the reinsurers are recognised as an asset at the same time as the claims which give rise to the right of recovery are also recognised as a liability and are measured at the amount expected to be recovered. Deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”) Those direct and indirect costs incurred during the financial period arising from the writing or renewing of insurance contracts are deferred to the extent that these costs are recoverable out of future premiums. All other acquisition costs are recognised as an expense when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition DAC is amortised over the period in which the related revenue is earned. The reinsurers’ share of deferred acquisition costs is amortised in the same manner as the underlying asset amortisation is recorded 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 amortisation period and are treated as a change in an accounting estimate. An impairment review is performed at each reporting date or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises. When the recoverable amount is less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognised in the statement of income. DAC is also considered in the liability adequacy test for each reporting period. DAC is derecognised when the related contracts are either settled or disposed of. Salvage and subrogation reimbursement Some insurance contracts permit the Company to sell (usually damaged) assets acquired in settling a claim. The Company may also have the right to pursue third parties for payment of some or all costs. Estimates of salvage recoveries are included as an allowance in the measurement of the outstanding claims liability. The allowance is the amount that can reasonably be recovered from the disposal of the asset. Subrogation reimbursements are also considered as an allowance in the measurement of the outstanding claims liability. The allowance is the assessment of the amount that can be recovered from the third party. Unearned reinsurance commission income Commissions receivable on outwards reinsurance contracts are deferred and amortised on a straight line basis over the term of the expected premiums payable. Amortisation is recorded in the statement of income. Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of income net of any reimbursement. Insurance contract liabilities Insurance contract liabilities include the outstanding claims provision, the provision for unearned premium and the provision for premium deficiency. The outstanding claims provision is based on the estimated ultimate cost of all claims incurred but not settled at the reporting date, whether reported or not, together with related claims handling costs and reduction for the expected value of salvage and other recoveries. Delays can be experienced in the notification and settlement of certain types of claims, therefore, the ultimate cost of these cannot be known with certainty at the reporting date. The liability is calculated at the reporting date using a range of standard actuarial claim projection techniques, based on empirical data and current assumptions. The liability is not discounted for the time value of money. The liabilities are derecognised when the obligation to pay a claim expires, is discharged or is cancelled. The provision for unearned premiums represents that portion of premiums received or receivable that relates to risks that have not yet expired at the reporting date. The provision is recognised when contracts are entered into and premiums are charged, and is brought to account as premium income over the term of the contract in accordance with the pattern of insurance service provided under the contract. At each reporting date, the Company reviews its unexpired risk and a liability adequacy test is performed to determine whether there is any overall excess of expected claims and deferred acquisition costs over unearned premiums. This calculation uses current estimates of future contractual cash flows after taking account of the investment return expected to arise on assets relating to the relevant insurance technical provisions. If these estimates show that the carrying amount of the unearned premiums (less related deferred acquisition costs) is inadequate, the deficiency is recognised in the statement of income by setting up a provision for premium deficiency. End-of-service indemnities A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company primarily has end of service indemnities, which qualify as defined benefit plans. Accruals to defined benefit plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the benefits. For defined benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses and the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling, is reflected immediately in the statement of financial position with a charge or credit recognised in other comprehensive income in statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognised in statement of comprehensive income is reflected as a reserve under net surplus from insurance operations after shareholders’ appropriation and will not be reclassified to statement of income. Past service cost is recognised in statement of income in the period of a plan amendment. Foreign currency translation Foreign currency transactions are translated into Saudi Riyals (“SR”) at the exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the statement of financial position date are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at that date. Gains and losses from settlement and translation of foreign currency transactions are included in statements of income and other comprehensive income. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash on hand, cash at banks and time deposits with original maturities of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
In accordance with the Law on Supervision of Cooperative Insurance Companies and the by-laws of the Company, the Company shall set aside 20% of shareholders’ net income in each year to the statutory reserve until it has built up a reserve equal to the share capital. This reserve is not available for dividend distribution. Zakat and income tax Zakat and income tax are provided for in accordance with Saudi Arabian fiscal regulation and are charged to the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. The zakat charge is computed on the Saudi shareholder’s share of the zakat base. Income tax is computed on the foreign shareholder’s share of adjusted net income. Additional amounts, if any, that may become due on finalization of an assessment are recorded in the year in which the assessment is finalised. Operating leases Leases are classified as capital leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the statement of income on a straight line basis over the term of the operating lease. Offsetting financial assets and liabilities Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position only when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. Income and expense are not offset in the statements of income and statement of other comprehensive income unless required or permitted by any accounting standard or interpretation. Segmental reporting An operating segment is a component of the Company that is engaged in business activities from which it earns revenue and incurs expenses and about which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. For management purposes, the Company is organised into business units based on their products and services and has six reportable operating segments as follows: - Medical insurance including corporate, individual and group business insurance. - Property insurance, which covers fire and allied perils, property all risks. - Engineering, which provides coverage against the Contractors’ All Risks (CAR), Erection All Risks (EAR), Machinery All Risks (MAR), etc. - Motor insurance, which provides coverage against losses and liability related to motor vehicles, excluding transport insurance. - General accident which provides coverage against the loss of money, personal accident, workmen’s compensation, travel, general third party liability and professional indemnity and - Others which mainly includes the marine cargo and marine hull insurance. Segments performance is evaluated based on profit or loss which in certain aspects is measured differently from profit and loss in the financial statements. Other classes, which covers any other classes of insurance not included above. Operating segments do not include shareholders’ operation of the Company. No inter-segment transactions occurred during the year. If any transaction were to occur, transfer prices between business segments are set on an arm's length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties. Shareholders income is a non-operating segment. Income earned from time deposits and investments is the only revenue generating activity. As the Company carries out its activities entirely in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, reporting is provided by business segment only. Liability adequacy test At 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. Dividend distribution Dividend 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 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The aging analysis of unimpaired premiums and insurance balances receivable at the year-end is set out below:
8. PREMIUMS AND REINSURANCE RECEIVABLES, NET (Continued) Premiums and reinsurance balances receivables comprise a large number of customers and related parties mainly within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as well as reinsurance companies. The Company’s terms of business generally require premiums to be settled within 90 days. Arrangements with reinsurers normally require settlement if the balance exceeds a certain agreed amount. No individual, company or broker, accounts for more than 11% of the premiums receivable as at December 31, 2019 (2018: 16.9%). In addition, the five largest receivables account for 33% of the premiums receivable as at December 31, 2019 (2018: 35.8%). Unimpaired premiums receivable, receivables from insurance and reinsurance companies are expected, on the basis of past experience, to be fully recoverable. It is not the practice of the Company to obtain collateral over receivables and the vast majority are, therefore, unsecured. | 8 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting year) has been applied as when calculating the end-of-service indemnities recognized within the statement of financial position. | 19 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Status of zakat and income tax certificate The Company has submitted its zakat and tax returns up to the year ended December 31, 2018. In 2014, the Company received zakat assessments for the years 2007 to 2012 from the General Authority of Zakat and Tax (GAZT) claiming zakat and income tax liability amounting to SR 30.9 million and SR 21.4 million for withholding tax. In addition, during 2017, GAZT issued an assessment for years 2013 and 2014 claiming an additional zakat differences amounting to SR 4.3 million and SR 4.8 million respectively. Later to that, GAZT issued another assessment for the years 2013-2015 claiming a total amount of SR 18.9 million consisting of SR 3.4 million for Zakat and income tax and SR 15.5 million for withholding tax. The Company had appealed against these assessments in prior years. However, the Company had paid an amount of SR 46.9 million, which represents the withholding tax differences amounting to SR 36.9 million and SR 10 million represented down payment on the account of penalties, to avoid the increase of delay penalties. In 2019, the Company received an approval on the settlement of pending appeals and assessments related to zakat, income taxes and withholding tax for the year from 2007 up to 2015 amounting to SR. 29.5 million. Additionally, the zakat assessments of Trade Union Insurance Company (B.S.C.) (closed) have been finalized by the GAZT for the years 2000 to 2008 claiming zakat and income tax liability amounting to SR 10.6 million and withholding tax dues amounting to SR 8.9 million. Management has filed an objection against these assessments and the primary objection committee concluded the same in favor of GAZT. However, the management filed an objection to the Appeal Committee of Zakat and Income Tax following the regulatory procedures. In 2015, the GAZT has issued an adjusted assessment for the same years 2000-2008 claiming the same amount as per the Preliminary Committee’s decision. The Company has appealed against these assessments and management expects to receive a favorable ruling. Subsequently, the Company paid an additional amount of SR 8.8 million and the case is still under discussion of the Appellate Committee. The Company has submitted its zakat and tax returns up to the year ended December 31, 2018 assessments of the years 2016 to 2018 is under review of GAZT. Payment has been made with the provision of continuation of the appeals, keeping the right to refund or reconcile the excess payment when the company receives a favorable ruling for the cases. 24.

| Disclosure of claims/ benefits development table [text block] | The following tables show the estimates of cumulative incurred claims, including both claims notified and IBNR for each successive accident year at each reporting date, together with cumulative payments to date. The development of insurance liabilities provides a measure of the Company's ability to estimate the ultimate value of the claims. The cumulative claims estimate and cumulative payments are in Saudi Riyal. As required by IFRS, in setting claims provisions the Company gives consideration to the probability and magnitude of future experience being more adverse than assumed and exercises a degree of caution in setting reserves where there is considerable uncertainty. In general, the uncertainty associated with the ultimate claims experience in an accident year is greatest when the accident year is at an early stage of development and the margin necessary to provide the necessary confidence in the provisions adequacy is relatively at its highest. As claims develop, and the ultimate cost of claims becomes more certain, the relative level of margin maintained should decrease. However, due to the uncertainty inherited in the estimation process, the actual overall claim provision may not always be in surplus. a) Claims development table gross of reinsurance:

| Disclosure of Goodwill | The Company commenced its insurance operations on January 1, 2009. The Company’s shareholders approved the transfer of insurance portfolio and net assets of Trade Union Insurance Company B.S.C. (closed) to the Company effective January 1, 2009 upon approval from the respective authorities. Such transfer resulted in goodwill of SR 4.5 million. As at the reporting date, impairment testing, based on expected discounted cash flows was performed. The assumptions used involve a considerable degree of estimation on the part of management. Actual conditions may differ from assumptions and thus actual cash flows may be different to those expected with a potential material effect on the recoverability of amounts. The most significant assumptions used in the determination of expected discounted cash flows for the next 5 years are: Weighted average cost of capital of 10%; and Average expected growth rate of 8% on earned premium. Although management believes that the assumptions used to evaluate potential impairment are reasonable, with a significant portion based on the actual performance achieved in the past, such assumptions are inherently subjective. Based on the assumptions made, the expected discounted future cash flows exceeded the carrying amount of goodwill and accordingly no impairment has been recognized. A sensitivity analysis has been performed and an increase of 1% of the weighted average cost of capital and a decrease of 0.5% of the average expected growth rate on earned premium have no impact on the result of impairment tests. | 14 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Disclosure of operational/ process risk [text block] | Risk governance The Company’s risk governance is manifested in a set of established policies, procedures and controls which uses the existing organisational structure to meet strategic targets. The Company’s philosophy revolves on willing and knowledgeable risk acceptance commensurate with the risk appetite and strategic plan approved by the Board of Directors (“BOD”). The Company is exposed to insurance, reinsurance, regulatory framework, credit, liquidity, foreign currency, commission rate, and market risks. Risk management structure A cohesive organisational structure is established within the Company in order to identify, assess, monitor and control risks. Board of Directors The apex of risk governance is the centralised oversight of BOD providing direction and the necessary approvals of strategies and policies in order to achieve defined corporate goals. Risk Management Committee The Company has a Risk Management Committee in place. The Committee meets to review the reports of the Risk Manager to give advice and make recommendations on Company’s enterprise-wide risk management to the BOD. The risks of each area are managed by the respective Line Managers and Departmental Heads. The Company continues to develop its risk management capability to ensure that an effective framework exists to support the management of all types of risk both currently and in future under SAMA’s implementing rules and regulations. Elements of this framework include the regular identification and assessment of the key risks and controls as well as clearly defined ownership of both the risks and controls. 32. RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued) Senior management Senior management is responsible for the day to day operations towards achieving the strategic goals within the Company’s pre-defined risk appetite. Audit Committee and Internal Audit Department Risk management processes throughout the Company are audited annually by the Internal Audit Department which examines both the adequacy of the procedures and the Company’s compliance with such procedures. The Internal Audit Department discusses the results of all assessments with senior management, and reports its findings and recommendations directly to the Audit Committee. The primary objective of the Company’s risk and financial management framework is to protect the Company from events that hinder the sustainable achievement of financial performance objectives, including failing to exploit opportunities. The risks faced by the Company and the manner in which these risks are mitigated by management are summarized below: Insurance and reinsurance risk management The risk under an insurance contract is the possibility that the insured event occurs and the uncertainty of the amount of the resulting claim. By the very nature of an insurance contract, this risk is random and therefore unpredictable. The principal risk that the Company faces under such contracts is the occurrence of the insured events and the severity of reported claims. The Company’s risk profile is improved by diversification of these risks of losses to a large portfolio of contracts as a diversified portfolio is less likely to be affected by an unexpected event in a single subset. Underwriting and retention policies, procedures and limits and clear underwriting authorities precisely regulate who is authorized and accountable for concluding insurance and reinsurance contracts and at what conditions. Compliance with these guidelines is regularly checked and developments in the global, regional and local markets are closely observed, reacting where necessary with appropriate measures that are translated without delay into underwriting guidelines if required. The primary risk control measure in respect of the insurance risk is the transfer of risks to third parties via reinsurance. The reinsurance business ceded is placed on a proportional and non-proportional basis with retention limits varying by lines of business. The placements of reinsurance contracts are diversified so that the Company is not dependent on a single reinsurer or a reinsurance contract. Reinsurance is used to manage insurance risk. Although the Company has reinsurance arrangements, it does not, however, discharge the Company’s liability as primary insurer and thus a credit risk exposure remains with respect to reinsurance ceded to the extent that any reinsurer may be unable to meet its obligations under such reinsurance arrangements. The Company minimizes such credit risk by entering into reinsurance arrangements with reinsurers having good credit ratings, which are reviewed on a regular basis. The creditworthiness of reinsurers is considered on an annual basis by reviewing their financial strength prior to finalization of any contract. Reserve risks are controlled by constantly monitoring the provisions for insurance claims that have been submitted but not yet settled and by amending the provisions, if deemed necessary. 32. RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued) Frequency and severity of claims The frequency and severity of claims can be affected by several factors. The Company underwrites mainly property, engineering, motor, casualty, and marine classes. These classes of insurance except for long tale engineering policies are generally regarded as annual insurance contracts where claims are normally intimated and settled within a short time span. This helps to mitigate insurance risk. (i) Property Property insurance contracts, with the main peril being fire, accidental damage and other allied perils resulting therefrom, are underwritten either on a replacement value or an indemnity basis with appropriate values for the interest insured. The cost of rebuilding or repairing the damaged properties and the time taken to reinstate the operations to its pre-loss position in the case of business interruption are the main factors that influence the level of claims. In respect of accumulation of the retentions under the property business, this is covered by proportional as well as non-proportional treaties. (ii) Engineering The engineering business includes long tail Erection All Risks (“EAR”) and Contractor All Risk (“CAR”) policies and annual policies for Machinery Break Down (“MBD”), Machinery All Risk, Electronic Data Processing, Deterioration of Stock and Business Interruption in conjunction with MBD. The long tail EAR/CAR policies cover various projects for the whole project period. Selection of the risks and proper underwriting are the criteria for this profitable line of business. These are amply covered under the engineering proportional and non-proportional treaties. (iii) Motor For motor insurance contracts, the main elements of risk are claims arising out of insured vehicles as well as damage to third parties’ properties. Further, death claims compensation has been made in accordance with the laws as applicable in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This risk is covered by per occurrence excess of loss treaties that also covers involvement of more than one vehicle in an accident. (iv) Casualty For casualty class of insurance such as loss of money, personal accident, workmen’s compensation, travel, general third party liability and professional indemnity are underwritten. The extent of loss or damage is the main factor that influences the level of claims. (v) Marine In marine insurance, the main risk elements are loss or damage to insured cargo and hull due to various mishaps resulting in total or partial loss claims. The extent of the loss or damage is the main factor that influences the level of claims. Reinsurance arrangements have been made with reinsurers through proportional treaties as well as non-proportional treaties. 32. RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued) Sources of uncertainty in estimation of future claim payments The key source of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date relates to valuation of outstanding claims, whether reported or not, and includes expected claims settlement costs. Considerable judgment by management is required in the estimation of amounts due to policyholders arising from claims made under insurance contracts. Such estimates are necessarily based on assumptions about several factors involving varying degrees of judgment and uncertainty. Actual results may differ from management's estimates resulting in future changes in estimated liabilities. Qualitative judgments are used to assess the extent to which past trends may not apply in the future, for example one-off occurrence, changes in market factors such as public attitude to claiming and economic conditions. Judgment is further used to assess the extent to which external factors affect the estimates. In particular, estimates have to be made both for the expected ultimate cost of claims reported at the statement of financial position date and for the expected ultimate cost of IBNR at the statement of financial position date. The details of estimation of outstanding claims including IBNR are given under Notes 3 and 4. Process used to determine assumptions The process used to determine the assumptions for calculating the outstanding claim reserve is intended to result in neutral estimates of the most likely or expected outcome. The nature of the business makes it very difficult to predict with certainty the likely outcome of any particular claim and the ultimate cost of notified claims. Each notified claim is assessed on a separate, case by case basis with due regard to claim circumstances, information available from surveyors and historical evidence of the size of similar claims. Case estimates are reviewed regularly and are updated as and when new information is available. The estimation of IBNR is generally subject to a greater degree of uncertainty than the estimation of the cost of settling claims already notified to the Company, in which case information about the claim event is available. IBNR provisions are initially estimated at a gross level and a separate calculation is carried out to estimate the size of the reinsurance recoveries. The estimation process takes into account the past claims reporting pattern and details of reinsurance programs. Concentration of insurance risk The Company, with the introduction of any one risk definition andstrictly following it in the underwriting process, eliminates concentration of risks. Elimination of location limit under the marine proportional treaty and having a third excess of losses (“XOL”) layer to protect accumulation on the net retention amply to take care of concentration. On the casualty side, concentration of risk is very minimal and XOL treaty takes care of it amply. The Company does not have any material claims where the amount and timing of payment is not resolved within one year of the statement of financial position date. Reinsurance risk Reinsurance is used to manage insurance risk. Although the Company has reinsurance arrangements, it does not, however, discharge the Company’s liability as primary insurer and thus a credit risk exposure remains with respect to reinsurance ceded to the extent that any reinsurer may be unable to meet its obligations under such reinsurance arrangements. The Company minimizes such credit risk by entering into reinsurance arrangements with reinsurers having good credit ratings, which are reviewed on a regular basis. The creditworthiness of reinsurers is considered on an annual basis by reviewing their financial strength prior to finalization of any contract. Reserve risks are controlled by constantly monitoring the provisions for insurance claims that have been submitted but not yet settled and by amending the provisions, if deemed necessary. 32. RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued) Regulatory framework risk The operations of the Company are subject to local regulatory requirements in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Such regulations not only prescribe approval and monitoring of activities but also impose certain restrictive provisions e.g. capital adequacy to minimize the risk of default and insolvency on the part of the insurance companies and to enable them to meet unforeseen liabilities as these arise. Credit risk 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. For all classes of financial assets held by the Company, the maximum exposure to credit risk of the Company is the carrying value as disclosed in the statement of financial position. The following policies and procedures are in place to mitigate the Company’s exposure to credit risk: The Company only enters into insurance and reinsurance contracts with recognised credit worthy third parties. It is the Company’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivables from insurance and reinsurance contracts are monitored on an ongoing basis in order to reduce the Company’s exposure to bad debts. The Company seeks to limit credit risk with respect to agents and brokers by setting credit limits for individual agents and brokers and monitoring outstanding receivables. The Company’s investment portfolio is managed by the investment committee in accordance with the investment policy established by the investment committee. The Company, with respect to credit risk arising from other financial assets, is restricted to commercial banks having strong financial positions and credit ratings. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Company. 32. RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued) Credit risk (Continued) The table below shows the maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the statement of financial position:
The above financial assets include insurance related assets amounting to SR 79.71 million (2018: SR 114.42 million). Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial liabilities. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at an amount close to its fair value. Liquidity requirements are monitored on a monthly basis and management ensures that sufficient liquid funds are available to meet any commitments as they arise. A significant amount of funds invested in time deposits, available for sale and held to maturity. Maturity profiles The table below summarises the maturity profile of the financial assets and financial liabilities of the Company based on remaining expected undiscounted contractual obligations:

32. RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued) Maturity profiles (Continued)
Liquidity profile All of the financial liabilities in the statement of financial position are valued at amortized cost. Currency risk Currency risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates in the normal course of its business. The Company did not undertake significant transactions in currencies other than Saudi Riyals and US Dollars, during the year. As the Saudi Riyal is pegged to the US Dollar, balances in US Dollars are not considered to represent significant currency risk. 32. RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued) Commission rate risk Commission rate risk is the risk that the value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market commission rates. Floating rate instruments expose the Company to cash flow commission risk, whereas fixed commission rate instruments expose the Company to fair value interest risk. The Company is exposed to commission rate risk on certain of its time deposits, term deposits, money market fund and investments available for sale. The Company limits commission rate risk by monitoring changes in commission rates. The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of statement of shareholder’s comprehensive income to reasonably possible changes in commission rates, with all other variables held constant. The sensitivity of the statement of shareholder’s comprehensive income is the effect of the assumed changes in commission rates on the Company’s income for the year, based on the floating rate financial assets and financial liabilities held as at December 31:
Market price risk Market price risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument 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 limits market risk by maintaining a diversified portfolio and by monitoring developments in equity market. The Company does not have significant market risk. Equity price risk Equity price risk arises from changes in the fair values of equity investments. Equity price risk is managed by the investment department of the Company. The unquoted equity price risk exposure arises from the Company’s investment portfolio. 32. RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued) Market price risk (Continued) The effect on net surplus in the statement of income and effect on total comprehensive income for the year in the statement of comprehensive income as a result of a change in the fair value of the available for sale investments at December 31, 2019 due to a reasonable possible change in the equity prices, with all other variables held as constant is as follows:
Capital management Capital requirements are set and regulated by SAMA. These requirements are put in place to ensure sufficient solvency margins. Further objectives are set by the Company to maintain healthy capital ratios in order to support its business objectives and maximise shareholders' value. The Company manages its capital requirements by assessing shortfalls between reported and required capital levels on a regular basis. Adjustments to current capital levels are made in light of changes in market conditions and risk characteristics of the Company’s activities. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders or issue shares. In the opinion of the Board of Directors, the Company has fully complied with the externally imposed capital requirements during the reported financial period. Operational Risk Operational risk is the risk of direct or indirect loss arising from a wide variety of causes associated with the processes, technology and infrastructure supporting the Company’s operations either internally within the Company or externally at the Company’s service providers, and from external factors other than credit, market and liquidity risks such as those arising from legal and regulatory requirements and generally accepted standards of investment management behaviour. Operational risks arise from all of the Company’s activities. The Company’s objective is to manage operational risk so as to balance limiting of financial losses and damage to its reputation with achieving its investment objective of generating returns for investors. The primary responsibility for the development and implementation of controls over operational risk rests with the Board of Directors. This responsibility encompasses the controls in the following areas: - Requirements for appropriate segregation of duties between various functions, roles and responsibilities; - Requirements for the reconciliation and monitoring of transactions; - Compliance with regulatory and other legal requirements; - Documentation of controls and procedures; - Requirements for the periodic assessment of operational risks faced, and the adequacy of controls and procedures to address the risks identified; - Ethical and business standards; and - Risk mitigation policies and procedures. | 32 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Disclosure of fair value of financial assets and liabilities [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 liability The management assessed that fair value of cash, bank balances and short-term deposits, receivables from related parties, accounts payable, reinsurance balances payable, and other financial liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Determination of fair value and fair value hierarchy The 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; and ‑ Level 3 – valuation techniques for which any significant input is not based on observable market data. The following table shows an analysis of financial instruments recorded at fair value by level of the fair value hierarchy: December 31, 2019
December 31, 2018
During the year, there has been no transfer between level 1, level 2 and level 3. | 31 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Disclosure of Subsequent Events | The existence of novel coronavirus (Covid-19) was confirmed in early 2020 and has spread across mainland China and beyond, causing disruptions to businesses, economic activity and increase in insurance claims mainly relating to the medical line of business in those jurisdictions.
