Revenue is an important determinant of the Company's profitability. In addition, there is a risk of improper revenue recognition, particularly with regards to revenue recognition at the cut- off date. Gross written premium amounted to JD 40,462,224 for the year ended 31 December 2022.

Our audit procedures included evaluating the Company's revenue recognition accounting policies and assessing compliance with the policies in terms of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). We tested the Company's controls over revenue recognition and key controls in the revenue cycle. We also selected a representative sample and tested premiums written at either side of the revenue cutoff date to, assess whether the revenue was recognized in the correct period. Analytical procedures were performed on income accounts by lines of business. We independently re-performed the revenue calculation of each line of business using data extracted from the Company's system. In order to rely on the data extracted, we tested a sample of transactions to their related policies to assess the accuracy of the data extracted. We also selected and tested a representative sample of journal entries at the cut off period.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
