The Subject Matter for our limited assurance engagement is the Declaration prepared by the management of the Company and approved by the Chairman of the Board of Directors as attached to this report and submitted to us.
Criteria
The applicable Criteria is the requirement of Article 71 of Regulations for Companies issued by the Ministry of Commerce (2015-1437H) which states that any member of the board of directors (the "Board") with any interest, both directly or indirectly, in the transactions or contracts made for the account of the Company shall declare such interests for the approval of the General Assembly of the Company.

This responsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal controls relevant to the preparation of the Declaration that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a limited assurance conclusion on the Declaration based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have obtained. We conducted our limited assurance engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised), 'Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information', as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This standard requires that we plan and perform this engagement to obtain limited assurance about whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Company has not complied with the applicable requirements of Article 71 of the Regulations for Companies in the preparation of the Declaration, for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of risks such as failure of systems and controls, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal controls relevant to the Company's compliance with the requirements of Article 71 of the Regulations for Companies in the preparation of the Declaration. Our procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting systems and controls in respect of the preparation of the Declaration in accordance with the requirements of Article 71 of the Regulations for Companies.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our limited assurance conclusion.
Summary of work performed
We have planned and performed the following procedures to obtain limited assurance over the Company's compliance with the requirements of Article 71 of the Regulations for Companies in the preparation of the Declaration:
- Discussed with the management the process for obtaining business and contracts by any of the Board members, either directly or indirectly, with the Company.
- Obtained the accompanying Declaration that includes the lists of all transactions and contracts entered into by any of the Board members of the Company, either directly or indirectly, with the Company during the year ended December 31, 2020.
- Reviewed the minutes of the Board meetings that indicates member notification to the Board on the transactions and contracts entered into by the Board member; and further that the concerned board member did not vote on the resolution issued in this regard at the meetings of the Board.
- Reviewed confirmation from the concerned Board member on the business and contracts performed by the Board member during the year and in the case of those Board members who had no transactions a confirmation that there were no transactions during the year.
- Testing the consistency of the transactions and contracts included in the Declaration with the disclosure in Note 11 to the audited consolidated financial statements.
Inherent limitations
Our procedures regarding systems and controls relating to the preparation of the Declaration in accordance with the requirements of the Article 71 of the Regulations for Companies, are subject to inherent limitations and, accordingly, errors or irregularities may occur and not be detected. Furthermore, such procedures may not be relied upon as evidence of the effectiveness of the systems and controls against fraudulent collusion, especially on the part of those holding positions of authority or trust.
A limited assurance engagement is substantially less in scope than a reasonable assurance engagement under ISAE 3000 (Revised) as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Consequently, the nature, timing and extent of the procedures outlined above for gathering sufficient appropriate evidence were deliberately limited relative to a reasonable assurance engagement, and therefore less assurance is obtained with a limited assurance engagement than for a reasonable assurance engagement.
Our procedures did not constitute either an audit or a review made in accordance with International Standards on Auditing or International Standards on Review Engagements as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and accordingly we do not express an audit or a review opinion in relation to the adequacy of systems and controls.
This conclusion relates only to the Declaration for the year ended December 31, 2020, and should not be seen as providing assurance as to any future dates or periods, as changes to systems or controls may alter the validity of our conclusion.
Limited assurance conclusion
Based on our work described in this report, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Company has not complied, in all material respects, with the applicable requirements of Article 71 of the Regulations for Companies in the preparation of the Declaration of related party transactions for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Restriction of use
This report, including our conclusion, has been prepared solely upon the request of the management of the Company, to assist the Company and its Chairman of the Board of Directors in fulfilling its reporting obligations to the General Assembly in accordance with Article 71 of the Regulations for Companies. This report should not be used for any other purpose or be distributed to or otherwise quoted or referred to, without our prior consent to any other parties other than the Ministry of Commerce, Capital Market Authority and the shareholders of the Company.
