| Disclosure of general information about reporting entity [text block] | Bupa Arabia for Cooperative Insurance Company (the “Company”) is a Saudi Joint Stock Company incorporated in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as per the Ministry of Commerce and Investment’s Resolution number 138/K dated 24 Rabi Thani 1429H (corresponding to 1 May 2008). The Commercial Registration number of the Company is 4030178881 dated 5 Jumad Awwal 1429H (corresponding to 11 May 2008). The Registered Office of the Company is situated at:Al-Khalediyah District, Prince Saud Al Faisal Street,Front of Saudi Airlines Cargo Building,P.O. Box 23807, Jeddah 21436, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.The Company is licensed to conduct insurance business in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia under cooperative principles in accordance with Royal Decree No. M/74 dated 29 Shabaan 1428H (corresponding to 11 September 2007) pursuant to the Council of Ministers’ Resolution No 279 dated 28 Shabaan 1428H (corresponding to 10 September 2007).The objective of the Company is to transact cooperative insurance operations and related activities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in accordance with its articles of association, and applicable regulations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Company underwrites medical insurance only. The Board of Directors approves the distribution of the surplus from insurance operations in accordance with the Implementing Regulations issued by the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority (“SAMA”), whereby the shareholders of the Company are to receive 90% of the annual surplus from insurance operations and the policyholders are to receive the remaining 10%. Any deficit arising on insurance operations is transferred to the shareholders’ operations in full. | 1 |
| Disclosure of basis of preparation of financial statements [text block] | These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) that are endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), and other standards and pronouncements that are endorsed by Saudi organization for Certified Public Accountants (‘SOCPA”) (referred to as “IFRS as endorsed in KSA”). The financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 31 December 2019 were prepared in compliance with IFRS as endorsed in KSA.The Company has updated its accounting policy to account for zakat and income taxes in the statement of income based on the instructions issued by SAMA on 23 July 2019 to insurance companies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This aligns with the IFRS as endorsed in KSA. 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. | 2.a |
| Disclosure of accounting framework used in preparation of financial statements [text block] | As required by the Saudi Arabian Insurance Regulations “the Implementation Regulations”, the Company maintains separate books of accounts for “Insurance Operations” and “Shareholders’ Operations”. Accordingly, assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses attributable to either operation are recorded in the respective accounts. Note 37 to these annual financial statements provides the statement of financial position, statements of income, comprehensive income and cash flows of the insurance operations and shareholders operations, separately.During 2018, SAMA issued illustrative financial statements for the insurance sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In preparing the Company level financial statements in compliance with IFRS as modified by SAMA, the balances and transactions of insurance operations are combined with those of shareholders’ operations. Inter-operation balances and transactions, if any, are eliminated in full. The accounting policies adopted for the insurance and shareholders’ operations are uniform for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. | 2.a |
| Disclosure of new standards and amendments in standards [text block] | b)New IFRS Standards, IFRIC interpretations and amendments thereof, adopted by the Company The following new standards, amendments and revisions to existing standards, which were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) have been effective from 1 January 2019 and accordingly adopted by the Company, as applicable:Standard / AmendmentsDescriptionIFRS 16Leases (see below)IFRIC 23Uncertainty over Income Tax TreatmentsIAS 28Long term interests in associates and joint ventures IAS 19Plan amendments, curtailments or settlements IFRS 3,11 and IAS 12, 23Annual Improvements to IFRS 2015 - 2017 cycle.The adoption of the amended standards and interpretations applicable to the Company except for adoption of IFRS 16 did not have any significant impact on these annual financial statements.IFRS 16 – Leases IFRS 16 supersedes IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 “Determining Whether an Agreement 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 most leases under a single on-balance sheet model. Lessor accounting under IFRS 16 is substantially unchanged from IAS 17. Lessors will continue to classify leases as either operating or finance leases using similar principles as in IAS 17. Therefore, IFRS 16 did not have an impact for leases where the Company is the lessor.The Company adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective method of adoption with the date of initial application of 1 January 2019. In accordance with the modified retrospective method of adoption, the Company applied IFRS 16 at the date of initial application with transition impact recognised in the retained earnings. Accordingly, the comparative information in these annual financial statements has not been restated. 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’). Upon adoption of IFRS 16, the Company recognised lease liabilities to make lease payments and Right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.The effect of adopting IFRS 16 as at 1 January 2019 (increase/(decrease)) is as follows: 2019SAR ‘000Assets Right-of-use assets103,196Liabilities Lease liabilities 112,096EquityRetained earnings(8,900)The Company has lease contracts for its office premises. Before the adoption of IFRS 16, the Company classified each of its leases (as lessee) at the inception date as an operating lease. Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Any prepaid rent and accrued rent were recognised under prepaid expenses and other assets and accrued and other liabilities, respectively.The lease liabilities as at 1 January 2019 can be reconciled to the operating lease commitments as of 31 December 2018 as follows:2019SAR ‘000Operating leases commitments as of 31 December 2018 150,363Adjustment to the operating lease commitments(24,150)Total Commitments126,213Weighted average incremental borrowing rate as at 1 January 2019 5% Discounted operating lease commitments at 1 January 2019 112,096Set out below are the new accounting policies of the Company upon adoption of IFRS 16:Right-of-use assets The Company recognises 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 recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Unless the Company is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the recognised Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment. Lease liabilities At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises 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 recognised 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 internal cost of funds as the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. 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 remeasured 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 liabilities are included within the accrued and other liabilities.Where the Company is lessee All leases entered into by the Company are operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the annual statement of income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, any payment required to be made to the lessor by way of penalty, net of anticipated rental income (if any), is recognised as an expense in the period in which termination takes place.Significant judgement in determining the lease term of contracts with renewal optionsThe 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 recognised in the statements of financial position and statement of income Set out below, are the movement and carrying amounts of the Company’s Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Company presents Right-of-use assets under Fixtures, Furniture and Right-of-use assets in the annual statement of financial position.

| Disclosure of issued IFRS not yet adopted [text block] | c)Standards issued but not yet effective Standards issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of the Company’s annual financial statements are listed below. The Company intends to adopt these standards when they become effective.Standard/InterpretationDescriptionEffective from periods beginning on or after the following dateIFRS 9Financial InstrumentsSee note belowAmendments to IFRS 3Definition of business1 January 2020Amendments to IAS 1 & IAS 8Definition of material 1 January 2020IFRS 17Insurance Contracts 1 January 2022IFRS 17 – Insurance ContractsOverviewThis 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; andiii) any promise to transfer distinct goods or non-insurance services.These components should be accounted for separately in accordance with the related standards (IFRS 9 and IFRS 15).MeasurementIn contrast to the requirements in IFRS 4, which permitted insurers to continue to use the accounting policies for measurement purposes that existed prior to January 2015, IFRS 17 provides the following different measurement models:The General model is based on the following “building blocks”:a) the fulfilment cash flows (FCF), which comprise: probability-weighted estimates of future cash flows, an adjustment to reflect the time value of money (i.e. discounting) and the financial risks associated with those future cash flows, and a risk adjustment for non-financial risk;b) the Contractual Service Margin (CSM). The CSM represents the unearned profit for a group of insurance contracts and will be recognized as the entity provides services in the future. The CSM cannot be negative at inception; any net negative amount of the fulfilment cash flows at inception will be recorded in profit or loss immediately. At the end of each subsequent reporting period the carrying amount of a group of insurance contracts is remeasured to be the sum of: the liability for remaining coverage, which comprises the FCF related to future services and the CSM of the group at that date; and the liability for incurred claims, which is measured as the FCF related to past services allocated to the group at that date.The CSM is adjusted subsequently for changes in cash flows related to future services but the CSM cannot be negative, so changes in future cash flows that are greater than the remaining CSM are recognized in profit or loss. Interest is also accreted on the CSM at rates locked in at initial recognition of a contract (i.e. discount rate used at inception to determine the present value of the estimated cash flows). Moreover, the CSM will be released into profit or loss based on coverage units, reflecting the quantity of the benefits provided and the expected coverage duration of the remaining contracts in the group.The Variable Fee Approach (VFA) is a mandatory model for measuring contracts with direct participation features (also referred to as ‘direct participating contracts’). This assessment of whether the contract meets these criteria is made at inception of the contract and not reassessed subsequently. For these contracts, the CSM is also adjusted for in addition to adjustment under general model;i) changes in the entity’s share of the fair value of underlying items,ii) changes in the effect of the time value of money and financial risks not relating to the underlying items.In addition, a simplified Premium Allocation Approach (PAA) is permitted for the measurement of the liability for the remaining coverage if it provides a measurement that is not materially different from the general model or if the coverage period for each contract in the group is one year or less. With the PAA, the liability for remaining coverage corresponds to premiums received at initial recognition less insurance acquisition cash flows. The general model remains applicable for the measurement of incurred claims. However, the entity is not required to adjust future cash flows for the time value of money and the effect of financial risk if those cash flows are expected to be paid/received in one year or less from the date the claims are incurred.Effective dateThe IASB issued an Exposure Draft Amendments to IFRS 17 during June 2019 and received comments from various stakeholders. The IASB is currently re-deliberating issues raised by stakeholders. For any proposed amendments to IFRS 17, the IASB will follow its normal due process for standard-setting. The effective date of IFRS 17 and the deferral of the IFRS 9 temporary exemption in IFRS 4, is currently January 1, 2021. Under the current exposure draft, it is proposed to amend the IFRS 17 effective date to reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. This is a deferral of 1 year compared to the previous date of January 1, 2021. Earlier application is permitted if both IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments have also been applied. The Company intend to apply the standard on its effective date.TransitionRetrospective application is required. However, if full retrospective application for a group of insurance contracts is impracticable, then the entity is required to choose either a modified retrospective approach or a fair value approach.Presentation and DisclosuresThe Company expects that the new standard will result in a change to the accounting policies for insurance contracts together with amendments to presentation and disclosures.ImpactThe Company is currently assessing the impact of the application and implementation of IFRS 17. The Company does not expect a significant financial impact from adopting the standard due to the short-term nature of its insurance contracts and the related settlement patterns of its cash flows. The company also does not expect a significant impact on its reinsurance arrangements from adopting the standard, given their immateriality. The Company, however, expects that adopting the standard will likely have an impact on IT systems, data requirements and accounting policies to address additional presentation and disclosure requirements. At the date of publication of these financial statements, it was not practicable to quantify the potential impact of adopting IFRS 17.IFRS 9 – Financial InstrumentsThis standard was published on July 24, 2014 and has replaced IAS 39. The new standard addresses the following items related to financial instruments:Classification and measurementIFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or 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 would be 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.ImpairmentThe 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.Hedge accountingIFRS 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 dateThe 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 ofa) the effective date of a new insurance contract standard; orb) 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 Jan 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.Impact assessmentAs at December 31, 2019, the Company has total financial assets and insurance related assets amounting to SR 7,220 million and SR 2,637 million, respectively. Financial assets mainly represents investments held to maturity which consist of cash and cash equivalents, term deposits and designated sukuk amounting to SR 5,511 million (2018: SR 4,715 million). Fair value investments held at fair value through statement of income as at December 31, 2019 is SR 270 million (2018: SR 380 million). Other financial assets consist of available for sale investments amounting to SR 1,440 million (2018: SR 1,241 million). The Company is currently assessing the impact on application and implementation of IFRS 9, however the Company expects the classification and measurement of financial assets to be impacted from implementation of IFRS 9. | 3.c |
| Disclosure of critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions, general [text block] | The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future years. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The following are the accounting judgments and estimates that are critical in the preparation of these financial statements:i)The ultimate liability arising from claims made under insurance contractsJudgment by management is required in the estimation of amounts due to medical providers and third parties arising from claims made under insurance contracts. Such estimates are necessarily based on assumptions about several factors involving varying degrees of judgment and uncertainty and actual results may differ from management’s estimates resulting in future changes in estimated liabilities. The Company estimates its claims based on its previous experience of its insurance portfolio. The provision for claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) is an estimation of claims which are expected to be reported subsequent to the date of statement of financial position, for which the insured event has occurred prior to the date of statement of financial position. The primary technique adopted by management in estimating the cost of notified and IBNR claims, is that of using the past claims settlement trends to predict future claims settlement trends. Claims requiring court or arbitration decisions, if any, are estimated individually. Management reviews its provisions for claims incurred, and claims incurred but not reported, on a monthly basis. 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 for that year. The provision for outstanding claims, as at 31 December, is also verified by an independent actuary.A range of methods such as the Chain Ladder Method, the Bornhuetter-Ferguson Method and the Expected Loss Ratio Method are used by the actuaries to determine these provisions. Also the Actuaries have used a segmentation approach which includes analyzing the costs per member per year for the medical line of business. Underlying these methods are also a number of explicit or implicit assumptions relating to the expected settlement amount and the settlement patterns of the claims.Estimation of premium deficiency for medical insurance is highly sensitive to a number of assumptions as to the future events and conditions. It is based on an expected loss ratio for the unexpired portion of the risks for written policies. To arrive at the estimate of the expected loss ratio, the company’s actuarial team, and also the independent actuary, consider the claims and premiums relationship which is expected to apply on month to month basis, and ascertain, at the end of the financial period, whether a premium deficiency reserve is required.ii)Impairment of receivablesA provision for impairment of receivables and reinsurance receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the receivable is impaired.iii)Deferred acquisition costs Certain acquisition costs related to the sale of new policies are recorded as deferred acquisition costs and are amortised in the statement of income over the 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 impairment write-offs in the statement of income.iv)Useful lives of Fixtures, Furniture and Right-of-use assets The Company's management determines the estimated useful lives of its Fixtures, Furniture and Right-of-use assets for calculating depreciation. These estimates are determined after considering the expected usage of the assets or physical wear and tear. Management reviews residual values and useful lives annually and future depreciation charges are adjusted where management believes the useful lives differ from previous estimates.v)Fair value of financial instrumentsThe fair value for financial instruments traded in active markets at the reporting date is based on their quoted market price. 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 mathematical models. The inputs to these models are derived from observable market data where possible, but if this is not available, judgment is required to establish fair values.vi)Impairment of available for sale investments The Company exercises judgment to consider impairment on the available for sale investments at each reporting date. This includes determination of a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of equity securities below cost. The determination of what is 'significant' or 'prolonged' requires judgment. In making this judgment, the Company evaluates among other factors, the normal volatility in share prices. In addition, the Company considers impairment to be appropriate when there is evidence of deterioration in the financial health of the investee, industry and sector performance, changes in technology, and operational & financing cash flows. The Company considers 30% or more, as a reasonable measure for significant decline below its cost, irrespective of the duration of the decline, which is recognised in the statement of income as impairment charge on investments. Prolonged decline represents a decline below cost that persists for 1 year or longer irrespective of the amount and is recognised in the statement of income accordingly as an impairment charge on investments. The previously recognised impairment loss in respect of equity investments cannot be reversed through the statement of income. The Company reviews its debt securities classified as available for sale at each reporting date to assess whether they are impaired. vii)Going concernThe Company’s management has made an assessment of its ability to continue as a going concern and is satisfied that it has the resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, management is not aware of any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the financial statements continue to be prepared on the going concern basis.viii)Impairment of GoodwillGoodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment for goodwill is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit (or a group of cash generating units) to which the goodwill is related. When the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (or a group of cash generating units) is less than the carrying amount of the cash generating unit (or a group of cash generating units) to which goodwill has been allocated, an impairment loss is recognised. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods. The recoverable amount is the greater of its value in use or fair value less cost to sell. In assessing the 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 risk specific to the asset. | 2.d |

| Disclosure of summary of significant accounting policies, general comment [text block] | The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are summarised below. These policies have been consistently applied to each of the years presented except for the change in the accounting of zakat and income tax and new IFRS standards, IFRIC interpretations and amendments thereof, adopted by the Company as explained below: | 3 |
| Description of changes in accounting policy [text block] | a)Changes in accounting for zakat and income tax As mentioned in note 2(a), the basis of preparation has been changed for the year ended 31 December 2019 as a result of the issuance of latest instructions from SAMA dated 23 July 2019. Previously, zakat and income tax were recognised in the statement of changes in equity as per the SAMA circular no 381000074519 dated 11 April 2017. With the latest instructions issued by SAMA dated 23 July 2019, the zakat and income tax shall be recognised in the statement of income. The Company has accounted for this change in the accounting for zakat and income tax retrospectively. The change has resulted in a decrease of reported income of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2018 by SR 82.8 million. The decrease has had no impact on the statement of cash flows for the year then ended.The accounting policy for zakat and income tax adopted by the Company is as follows:Zakat and Income TaxThe 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, adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.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.IFRIC Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax TreatmentThe 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 separatelyThe assumptions an entity makes about the examination of tax treatments by taxation authoritiesHow an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax ratesHow an entity considers changes in facts and circumstancesAn 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.The Company applies significant judgement in identifying uncertainties over income tax treatments.The Interpretation did not have an impact on the annual financial statements of the Company. | 3.a |

| Description of accounting policy for premiums/ contributions and insurance/ reinsurance or takaful/ retakaful balance receivables [text block] | iii)Premiums receivablePremiums receivable are stated at gross written premiums receivable from insurance contracts, less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for uncollectible amount is established when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to their original terms. Bad debts are written off as incurred. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited in the statement of income. | 3.iii |
| Description of accounting policy for deferred policy acquisition costs [text block] | iv)Policy acquisition costsCommission to sales staff and incremental direct costs incurred in relation to the acquisition and renewal of insurance contracts are deferred. The deferred acquisition costs are subsequently amortised over the terms of the insurance contract as premiums are earned and reported 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 accounting estimate. 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 impairment write-offs in the statement of income. Deferred policy acquisition costs are also considered in the liability adequacy test for each reporting year. | 3.iv |
| Description of accounting policy for income and other taxes including deferred taxes [text block] | Deferred Tax Deferred income tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences arising between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities using the tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available and the credits can be utilised. Deferred tax asset is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realised.Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in foreign operations where the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and where the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.Impact on the financial statementsThe change in the accounting treatment for zakat and income tax has the following impact:For the year ended 31 December 2018Financial Statement ImpactedAccountBefore the restatementEffect of restatementAfter restatementSAR’000SAR’000SAR’000Statement of changes in equity Provision for zakat and income tax (retained earnings)89,199(89,199)--Statement of incomeZakat and income tax charge--(82,808)(82,808)Statement of income Earnings per share 4.39(0.69)3.70Statement of financial positionDeferred tax asset--25,55225,552Impact on the financial statements (continued)As at 31 December 2018Financial Statement ImpactedAccountBefore the restatementEffect of restatementAfter restatementSAR’000SAR’000SAR’000Statement of financial positionDeferred tax asset--25,55225,552Statement of financial positionRetained earnings 811,15325,552836,705As at 1 January 2018Financial Statement ImpactedAccountBefore the restatementEffect of restatementAfter restatementSAR’000SAR’000SAR’000Statement of financial positionDeferred tax asset--19,16119,161Statement of financial positionRetained earnings 1,030,88719,1611,050,048 | 3.a |
| Description of accounting policy for intangible assets and goodwill [text block] | viii)Intangible assets Separately acquired intangible assets (software) are shown at historical cost. They have a finite useful life and are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. The Company amortises intangible assets with a limited useful life using straight-line method over the following periods:YearsIT development and software3 to 7ix)GoodwillGoodwill is initially measured at excess of the fair value of the consideration paid over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment for goodwill is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit (or a group of cash generating units) to which the goodwill is related. When the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (or a group of cash generating units) is less than the carrying amount of the cash generating unit (or a group of cash generating units) to which goodwill has been allocated, an impairment loss is recognised in the statement of income. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods. | 3.viii & 3.ix |
| Description of accounting policy for property and equipment [text block] | vii)Fixtures, Furniture and Right-of-use assetsFurniture, Furniture and Right-of-use assets are initially recorded in the statement of financial position at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of the assets for the calculation of depreciation are as follows:YearsLeasehold Improvements (civil, construction work and fixtures)15 years or lease termFixtures, Furniture and Right-of-use assets5 to 20 Computer2.5 to 7Motor vehicles 4Residual values, useful lives and the methods of depreciation are reviewed and adjusted as appropriate at each financial year end. Impairment reviews take place when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The depreciation charge for the year is recognised in the statement of income on an actual basis. Similarly, impairment losses, if any, are recognised in the statement of income. Expenditure for repairs and maintenance is charged to the statement of income. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company. Gain / loss on sale of Fixtures, Furniture and Right-of-use assets is included in statement of income. | 3.vii |
| Description of accounting policy for liability adequacy test [text block] | x)Liability adequacy test At each reporting date the Company assesses annually whether its recognised insurance liabilities are adequate using current estimates of future cash flows under its insurance contracts. If that assessment shows that the carrying amount of its insurance liabilities is inadequate in the light of estimated future cash flows, the entire deficiency is immediately recognised in the statement of income and an unexpired risk provision is created. | 3.x |
| Description of accounting policy for accounts payable and accruals [text block] | xi)Accounts payable and accruals Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether billed by the supplier or not. | 3.xi |
| Description of accounting policy for provisions [text block] | xii)Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the obligation amount. | 3.xii |
| Description of accounting policy for statutory reserve [text block] | xxx)Statutory reserve In accordance with the Company’s by-laws, the Company shall allocate 20% of its net income from shareholders operations each year to the statutory reserve until it has built up a reserve equal to the share capital. The reserve is not available for distribution. | 3.xxx |
| Description of accounting policy for employees end of service benefits [text block] | xiii)Employee-end-of-service benefits Accruals are made at the present value of expected future payments in respect of services provided by the employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to the expected future wages and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period of high-quality corporate bonds with terms and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. The benefit payments obligation is discharged as it falls due. Re-measurement (actuarial gains / losses) as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. | 3.xiii |
| Description of accounting policy for impairment and uncollectibiity of financial assets [text block] | xvi)Impairment of financial assets The Company assesses at each reporting date, whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is an objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that have occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred loss event) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. If such evidence exists, an impairment loss is recognised in the statement of income. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing a significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in repayments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. Impairment is determined as follows:(a)For assets carried at cost, impairment is the difference between carrying value and the present value of future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset; and(b)For assets carried at amortised cost, impairment is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of future cash flows discounted at the original effective commission rate. | 3.xvi |
| Description of accounting policy for cash dividend and non-cash distribution to equity holders [text block] | xxix)Cash dividend to shareholders The Company recognises a liability to make cash distributions to shareholders of the Company when the distribution is authorised and is no longer at the discretion of the Company. A distribution is authorised when it is approved by the shareholders and SAMA. A corresponding amount is recognised directly in equity. | 3.xxix |
| Description of accounting policy for reinsurance premium/ retakaful contributions [text block] | xx)Reinsurance premiums (ceded)Reinsurance premiums ceded are recognised as an expense when payable. Reinsurance premiums are charged to income over the terms of the policies to which they relate on a pro-rata basis. | 3.xx |
| Description of accounting policy for reinsurance/ retakaful activities [text block] | xxiii)Reinsurance contracts held In order to optimise financial exposure from large claims, the Company enters into reinsurance agreements with local and internationally reputable reinsurers. Claims receivable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the claim liability and in accordance with the reinsurance contracts. These amounts, if any, are shown as “Reinsurers’ share of outstanding claims” in the statement of financial position until the claim is agreed and paid by the Company. Once the claim is paid, the amount due from the reinsurers in connection with the paid claim is transferred to amounts due from / (to) reinsurers.At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that a reinsurance asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Company makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of a reinsurance asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. | 3.xxiii |
| Description of accounting policy for investment income [text block] | v)Investments (a)Financial assets at fair value through statement of income Investments are classified as at fair value through statement of income if they are classified as held-for-trading or are designated as such on initial recognition. Directly attributable transaction costs are recognised in the statement of income as incurred. Subsequently, such investments are re-measured at fair value, with all changes in fair value being recorded in the statement of income. (b)Available for sale investmentsAvailable for sale investments are non-derivative investments that are designated as available for sale or not classified as another category of financial assets, and are intended to be held for an unspecified period of time, which may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or changes in special commission rates, exchange rates or equity prices.Investments which are classified as available for sale are initially recognised at fair value including direct and incremental transaction costs and subsequently measured at fair value except for unquoted equity securities where fair value cannot be reliably measured are carried at cost. Any unRealised gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised through the statement of comprehensive income until the investments are derecognised or impaired whereupon any cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in equity are reclassified to statement of income for the period and are disclosed as gains/(losses) on non-trading investments.(c)Held to maturity investmentsHeld to maturity investments are investments having fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity that the management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity. Investments are initially recognised at fair value including direct and incremental transaction cost. Subsequent to initial measurement these are measured at amortised cost less impairment losses, if any. | 3.v |
| Description of accounting policy for claims/ benefits [text block] | xxi)Claims Claims, comprising amounts payable to medical providers and other third parties are charged to income as incurred. Claims comprise the estimated amounts payable, in respect of claims reported to the Company and those not reported at each reporting date.The Company estimates its claims based on previous experience. In addition, a provision based on the management’s judgment and the Company’s prior experience is maintained for the cost of settling claims incurred but not reported at each reporting date. Any difference between the provisions at the statement of financial position date & settlements and provisions for the following year is included in the underwriting account for that year. The Company does not discount its liability for unpaid claims as substantially all claims are expected to be paid within one year of the statement of financial position date. | 3.xxi |
| Description of accounting policy for general insurance/ takaful contracts [text block] | xxii)Insurance contracts Insurance contracts are those contracts where 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 paid with benefits payable if the insured event did not occur.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. | 3.xxii |
| Description of accounting policy for impairment of non-financial assets [text block] | xvii)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 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 cash-generating unit’s (CGU) fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and 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. When 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 to sell, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices 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 CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations generally cover a period of three to 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 of continuing operations are recognised in the statement of income.For assets, excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the statement of income. | 3.xvii |
| Description of accounting policy for other revenue recognition [text block] | xix)Revenue recognition Premiums earnedThe Company only issues short-term insurance contracts for providing health care services (‘medical insurance’) in Saudi Arabia. Premiums are taken to income over the terms of the policies to which they relate on a pro-rata basis based on 365th method. Unearned premiums represent the portion of premiums written relating to the unexpired period of coverage. The change in the provision for unearned premiums is taken to the statement of income.Investment and commission income Investment income or loss comprises of unRealised and Realised gains and losses on investments. Commission income on term deposits is recognised using the effective interest method in the statement of income. | 3.xix |
| Description of accounting policy for expenses [text block] | xxiv)Expenses Selling and marketing expenses are those which specifically relate to salesmen, sales promotion, advertisements, regulatory levies, trade mark fees and fulfillment costs. All other expenses are classified as general and administration expenses. | 3.xxiv |
| Description of accounting policy for share based payments [text block] | xiv)Share based payments The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date on which they are granted. Grant date is the date at which the entity and an employee agree to a share based payment arrangement, being when the entity and the counterparty have a shared understanding of the terms and conditions of the arrangement. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity as a reserve for a share based payment, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (‘the vesting date’). The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The statement of income charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.In cases where an award is forfeited (i.e. when the vesting conditions relating to an award are not satisfied), the Company reverses the expense relating to such awards previously recognised in the statement of income. Where an equity-settled award is cancelled (other than forfeiture), it is treated as if it vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately.xv)Shares held under employee share scheme The Company purchases shares held under employee share scheme to hedge itself against adverse changes in fair value of its shares between the grant date and the date on which these shares are transferred to employees. When shares recognised as equity are repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly attributable costs, is recognised as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classified as shares held under employee share scheme and are presented in the statement of changes in equity. | 3.xiv & 3.xv |
| Description of accounting policy for segment reporting [text block] | xxv)Segment reporting An operating segment is a component of an entity:-that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity); and-whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and-for which discrete financial information is available. | 3.xxv |
| Description of accounting policy for accounting of leases [text block] | xxvi)Leases Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. | 3.xxvi |
| Description of accounting policy for foreign currencies [text block] | xxvii)Foreign currencies The accounting records of the Company are maintained in Saudi Riyals. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in Saudi Riyals at the approximate rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the spot rate at the reporting date. All differences are taken to the statement of income. | 3.xxvii |
| Description of accounting policy for derivative financial instruments and hedges [text block] | i)Financial instruments – initial recognition and subsequent measurementFinancial instruments comprise of financial assets and financial liabilities.Financial assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, premiums receivable, reinsurance share of outstanding claims, reinsurance share of incurred but not reported claims, investments, term deposits, statutory deposit and other receivables. Financial liabilities consist of insurance operations surplus payable, reinsurance balances payable, outstanding claims, claims incurred but not reported, claims handling reserve, amounts due to related parties, provision for end-of-service benefits, provision for zakat and income tax and certain other liabilities.Date of recognitionRegular way sale and purchase of financial instruments is recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial instruments that require settlement of instrument within the time frame generally established by regulation or convention in the market place.Measurement of financial instrumentsAll financial instruments are measured initially at their fair value plus, in the case of financial assets and financial liabilities not at fair value through statement of income, any directly attributable incremental costs of acquisition or issue. The classification of financial instruments at initial recognition depends on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired and their characteristics. Subsequent to initial measurement, financial instruments are carried at amortised cost except for FVSI and AFS investments which are carried at fair value.xviii)De-recognition Financial assetA financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; orthe 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.When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a ‘pass-through’ arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement in the asset. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.Financial liabilityA financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expired. | 3.i & 3.xviii |
| Description of accounting policy for off setting financial assets and liabilities [text block] | xxviii)Offsetting Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is 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 expenses are not offset in the statement of income unless required or permitted by any accounting standard or interpretation, as specifically disclosed in the accounting policies of the Company. | 3.xxviii |
| Description of accounting policy for time (murabaha) deposit [text block] | vi)Term depositsTerm deposits, with original maturity of more than three months, are initially recognised in the statement of financial position at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment in value. | 3.vi |

| Disclosure of claims/ benefits development table [text block] | 15. CLAIMS DEVELOPMENT TABLE The following table reflects the estimated ultimate claim cost, including claims notified and incurred but not reported for each successive treatment year at each financial position date, together with the 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 Company aims to maintain adequate reserves in respect of its insurance business in order to protect against adverse future claims experience and developments. As claims develop and the ultimate cost of claims becomes more certain, adverse claims experiences will be eliminated which results in the release of reserves from earlier treatment years. In order to maintain adequate reserves, the Company transfers much of this release to the current treatment year reserves when the development of claims is less mature and there is much greater uncertainty attached to the ultimate cost of claims.Treatment year – gross outstanding claims2016201720182019TotalSR ‘000Estimate of ultimate claims cost: At the end of treatment year6,319,9296,577,9196,949,081 7,842,155 One year later6,210,2696,572,9476,845,677 -- Two years later6,212,8706,563,363 -- -- Three years later6,213,994 -- -- -- Current estimate of ultimate claims 6,213,994 6,563,363 6,845,6777,842,155 27,465,189Ultimate payments to date(6,211,830)(6,552,655) (6,784,585) (6,306,903) (25,855,973)Liability recognised in the statement of financial position2,164 10,708 61,092 1,535,252 1,609,216Claims handling provision 18,492Balance at 31 December1,627,708Treatment year – net outstanding claimsSR ‘000 Estimate of ultimate claims cost: At the end of treatment year6,283,3166,532,6726,897,3677,768,195 One year later6,175,3766,528,7296,787,022 -- Two years later6,177,9776,513,541 -- -- Three years later6,178,354 -- -- -- Current estimate of ultimate claims 6,178,354 6,513,541 6,787,0227,768,195 27,247,112Ultimate payments to date(6,176,190)(6,502,870) (6,726,158) (6,237,868) (25,643,086)Liability recognised in the statement of financial position2,164 10,67160,864 1,530,3271,604,026Claims handling provision 18,492Balance at 31 December1,622,518 | 15 |

| Disclosure of insurance/ takaful risk [text block] | 36.RISK MANAGEMENT a)Insurance risk The Company provides short-term health insurance contracts in Saudi Arabia. Accordingly, the main insurance Risk within the Company is the claims reserve risk resulting from fluctuations in the estimated ultimate claims. The Company seeks to manage this through close monitoring of the claims’ trend and payments’ pattern to ensure that sufficient reserves are available to cover claim liabilities. The Company also have an external actuary to perform quarterly independent reviews of the reserves adequacy.The Company has a reinsurance arrangement to reduce its exposure through transfer of risk. The reinsurance agreement is an excess of loss treaty per person per claim on losses occurring basis. i)The ultimate liability arising from claims made under insurance contractsClaims reserves which are key components of the Company’s ultimate liability are estimated amounts of the outstanding claims, incurred but not reported claims (“IBNR”) and claims handling provisions. These reserves do not represent exact calculations but rather expectations based on historical claims’ trend (frequency and severity), payments’ pattern, medical inflation, members’ behaviour, seasonality and other factors. The Company has a large insurance portfolio resulting in stable claims development patterns which relatively reduces the risk of fluctuations in the estimated ultimate claims. The short-tailed nature of the business is associated with higher consistency of the reserve estimates. The Company continually review the adequacy of claims reserves by conducting back-testing analysis, assessing the sufficiency of data, monitoring claims backlogs and settlement patterns. In addition, the external actuary runs independent valuation models after due reconciliation with financial statements to validate reserve adequacy.ii)Concentration of insurance risk The insurance risk exposure related to policyholders is mainly concentrated in Saudi Arabia. However, through its underwriting strategy, the Company ensures that the portfolio is well diversified and not concentrated within few large clients. Its business is proportionally spread across all regions in the Saudi Arabia, and the Company targets both corporate and retail business. The insurance portfolio is not concentrated in a specific benefit level (diverse medical providers, different deductibles, annual limits and sub-limits)iii)Process used to decide on assumptionsThe pricing team follows the Company’s underwriting guidelines (approved by the Board of Directors) in setting premiums taking into consideration credible claims experiences for both new business and renewals or medical declarations. Assumptions used in determining claims reserves are based on the best estimate. Ultimate claims are estimated using historical claim trends adjusted for inflation, seasonality, membership growth and any other external or internal factors that may have impact on claim costs. Given the nature of the business, the Company may still be exposed to risk of insufficiency of claim reserves for which actual claim cost may turn out to be higher than the initial estimated ultimate claims. The estimation of IBNR is generally subject to a greater degree of uncertainty than the estimation of the outstanding claims which are received but not yet settled with the providers. For the case of outstanding claims, the Company uses payment information of settled batches with providers to estimate the expected settlement amounts of recently submitted batches, while it uses mainly pre-authorization data to estimate IBNR. The Company seeks to avoid inadequate reserve levels by adopting established processes in determining claim reserve and using updated information from both claims received and pre-authorization data.The premium liabilities have been determined as such that the total premium liability provisions (unearned premium reserve and premium deficiency reserve, if applicable and required as per the result of the liability adequacy test) would be sufficient to service the future expected claims and expenses likely to occur on the unexpired policies. The expected future liability is determined using the Company’s loss ratio adjusted for seasonality and portfolio mix for the remaining unearned period. The details of estimation of the outstanding claims and premium deficiency reserves are given under Notes 2(d)(i).iv)Sensitivity analysis The Company believes that the claim liabilities under insurance contracts outstanding at year-end are adequate. However, these amounts are not certain and actual payments may differ from the claims liabilities provided in the financial statements. The insurance claim liabilities are sensitive to the various assumptions. It has not been possible to quantify the sensitivity of specific variable such as legislative changes or uncertainty in the estimation process. An assumed 5% change in the claims’ ratio, net of reinsurance, would impact net underwriting income as follows:20192018SR’000SR’000Impact of change in claims ratio by 5% 468,565 407,512 | 36.a |
| Disclosure of reinsurance/ retakaful risk [text block] | 36.RISK MANAGEMENTb)Reinsurance risk The Company has a reinsurance arrangement to reduce its exposure through transfer of insurance risk. The reinsurance agreement is an excess of loss treaty per person per claim on losses occurring basis. Such arrangement protects the Company from large claims with a reasonable ceded premium given the stable underwriting performance and the size of the insurance portfolio.The Reinsurers are selected based on the following criteria:- All reinsurers should meet SAMA’s minimum acceptable rating of BBB (S&P Rating). - The reinsurers’ panel and the agreement should be reviewed and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.Reinsurance ceded business does not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders and as a result the Company remains liable for the portion of outstanding claims reinsured to the extent that the reinsurer fails to meet the obligations under the reinsurance agreements. | 36.b |
| Disclosure of market risk [text block] | 36.RISK MANAGEMENT c)Market risk Market risk refers to the potential impact of various market dynamics on the fair value or the expected cash flows of financial instruments. The Company adopts asset allocation guidelines and diversification limits on asset classes, geographies, currencies and securities to ensure that market risk is contained and kept to minimal levels. The Board of Directors sets the overall risk appetite to a prudent level that does not impact the Company’s operating results. The management prepares monthly and quarterly reports, highlighting deployment activities and exposure limits to ensure that appropriate monitoring and compliance with the approved guidelines. Management performs continuous assessment of developments in relevant markets to ensure that market risk is monitored and mitigated at the asset class and securities levels. Market risk comprises three types: interest rate risk, price risk and currency risk. i)Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the potential change in the fair value of financial instruments and expected cash flows as a result of changes in interest rates. Management constantly monitors developments in global and local interest rates and accordingly allocates the durations of its term deposits and sukuk investments. Investments in term deposits and sukuk instruments have various maturities in order to maximise investment returns while ensuring that liquidity requirements are continuously met. Details of maturities of interest bearing securities as at 31 December are as follows:2019Less than 3 months3 months to 1 year1 year to 3 yearsMore than 3 yearsTotalSR’000Term deposits1,109,0871,899,7711,662,000393,1185,063,976Investments in Sukuk84,416235,271308,969773,6771,402,3331,193,5032,135,0421,970,9691,166,7956,466,3092018Less than 3 months3 months to 1 year1 year to 3 yearsMore than 3 yearsTotalSR’000Term deposits1,203,0101,885,7841,476,487150,0004,715,281Investments in Sukuk2,00050,774260,223805,3401,118,3371,205,0101,936,5581,736,710955,3405,833,618ii)Price risk Price risk is the potential change in the fair value of financial instruments as a result of instrument-specific developments or systemic factors affecting the overall market in which the instrument is being traded.The total size of investments which are exposed to market price risk is SR 1,841 million (2018: SR 1,621 million). The Company manages this risk conducting thorough due diligence on each instrument prior to investing as well as maintaining exposure limits guidelines to minimise the potential impact of marking to market on the overall portfolio. The potential impact of a 10% increase or decrease in the market prices of investments on Company's profit would be as follows: Fair value changeEffect on Company’s profit SR’0002019 10% 26,9522018 10% 38,042The above sensitivity analysis is only on FVSI investments which directly impact the Company’s profit. iii)Currency risk Currency risk is the potential fluctuation of the value of a financial instrument due to changes in foreign exchange rates. All Company’s transactions are in Saudi Arabian Riyals and US Dollar. Given the peg of Saudi Arabian Riyals and US Dollars, foreign exchange risk is minimal. | 36.c |
| Disclosure of credit risk [text block] | 36.RISK MANAGEMENT d)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. The Company seeks to manage its credit risk with respect to customers by following the Company’s credit control policy and monitoring outstanding receivables on an on-going basis in order to reduce the Company’s exposure to bad debts. The management estimates specific impairment provisions on a case by case basis. In addition to specific provisions, the Company also makes an additional portfolio provision, estimated on a collective basis, based on the ageing profile of the premiums receivable. The Company seeks to limit its credit risk with respect to other counterparties by placing term deposits and investments with reputable financial institutions. The Company enters into reinsurance contracts with recognised, creditworthy third parties (rated A or above).The following table shows the maximum exposure to credit risk by class of financial asset:20192018SR’000SR’000Cash and cash equivalents665,709290,413Premiums receivable – net1,689,377950,671Reinsurers’ share of outstanding claims1,218336Reinsurers’ share of claims incurred but not reported3,9722,678Investments1,840,8321,621,491Other assets207,804151,734Term deposits5,063,9764,715,281Statutory deposit120,000120,000Accrued income on statutory deposit10,8206,8829,603,7087,859,486The table below provides information regarding the credit risk exposure of the Company by classifying assets according to the Company’s credit rating of counterparties.

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, and the adequacy of controls and procedures to address those risks;-Ethical and business standards; and-Risk mitigation policies and procedures. | 36.g |

Management conducted the impairment exercise for the year ended 31 December 2019. The recoverable amount of operations has been determined based on value in use. The two key assumptions used in the test are the discount rate and estimated future cash flows from the business as follows:An average discount rate of 12% was used to discount future cash flows. EBTIDA growth rate of 11.8% was used for the first three years. Thereafter, a growth rate of 3% was used in the terminal value calculation.A change in discount rate by 300 basis point with other variables held constant would not result in impairment of goodwill.11.
