| Auditors report [line items] | |
| Disclosures of auditors report [text block] | We have reviewed the accompanying interim statement of financial position of CHUBB Arabia Cooperative Insurance Company, a Saudi Joint Stock Company (the “Company”) as at 30 June 2018, and the related interim statements of income and comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods then ended and the related interim statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. |
| Contents of auditors report [abstract] | |
| Nature of auditors opinion | Unmodified opinion |
| Basis of opinion | We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. |
| Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for financial statements | Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these interim condensed financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” (“IAS 34”) as modified by the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority (“SAMA”) for the accounting of zakat and income tax. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim condensed financial statements based on our review. |

| Disclosure of basis of preparation of financial statements [text block] | i The interim condensed financial information for the six-month period ended June 31, 2018 of the Company has been prepared in accordance with ‘International Accounting Standard 34 - Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") as modified by SAMA for the accounting of zakat and income tax’, which requires, adoption of all IFRSs as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), except for the application of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 12 - “Income Taxes” and IFRIC 21 - “Levies” so far as these relate to zakat and income tax. As per the SAMA Circular no. 381000074519 dated April 11, 2017 and subsequent amendments through certain clarifications relating to the accounting for zakat and income tax (“SAMA Circular”), zakat and income tax are to be accrued on a quarterly basis through shareholders equity under retained earnings. ii.

The Company’s interim statement of financial position is presented in order of liquidity and is not presented using a current/non-current classification. Except for property and equipment, statutory deposit, end-of-service indemnities 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. iii. As required by the Saudi Arabian Insurance Regulations, the Company maintains separate books of accounts for Insurance Operations and Shareholders’ Operations. Accordingly, assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses clearly attributable to either activity are recorded in the respective accounts. Similarly, in the past, the Company’s interim condensed and annual financial statements presented separately the statement of financial position, statements of income, comprehensive income and cash flows for the insurance operations and shareholders operations. The basis of allocation of expenses from joint operations is determined and approved by the management and the Board of Directors. iv. The interim statement of financial position, interim statements of income and interim statement of comprehensive income of the insurance operations and shareholders operations which are presented on pages 28 to 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 interim statements of financial position, statement of income and statements of comprehensive income 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. v. SAMA has issued an illustrative financial statement for the insurance sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Following the illustrative financial statements, this is the second period where the Company issued its interim financial statements after combining shareholders and insurance operations to prepare the Company level interim condensed financial statements. 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 unrealised 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. vi. In preparing these interim condensed financial statements, comparative amounts, which in the most recent annual financial statements were presented separately for shareholders and insurance operations, were also combined together to conform with the current period presentation and SAMA requirements. However, note 20 to these interim condensed financial statements provide statement of financial position, statements of income, comprehensive income and cash flows of the insurance operations and shareholders operations, separately. vii. The interim condensed financial statements do not include all the information, and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements as at 31 December 2017. The interim condensed financial statements include all adjustments comprising mainly of normal recurring accruals considered necessary by the Company’s management to present a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows. viii. These interim condensed financial statements are expressed in Saudi Arabian Riyals (SR). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Disclosure of summary of significant accounting policies, general comment [text block] | Risk Management The Company’s activities expose it to variety of financial risks: market risk (including commission rate risk, currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The interim condensed financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. There have been no changes in the risk management department or in any risk management policies since the year end. Seasonality Due to the seasonality of the operations, results can vary on a quarterly basis. Use of estimates in the preparation of interim condensed financial statements The preparation of interim condensed financial information requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In preparing these condensed financial information, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty including the risk management policies were the same as those that applied to the annual financial information as at and for the year ended 31 December 2017. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
