| Modification, Qualification or Emphasis of a Matter as Stated within the External Auditor Opinion | Included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities is an unapplied collection account of SR 27.4 million (31 December 2020: SR 27.4 million). During 2020, the Company discovered that certain transactions totaling SR 25.7 million related to embezzlement transactions committed by a former employee, were routed through this account. These transactions were reversed as at 31 December 2020. Due to lack of information, other transactions in this account could not be traced and the closing balance not reconciled as at 30 June 2021. We were unable to satisfy ourselves with respect to the existence and completeness of this account, nor were we able to perform other alternative procedures. Accordingly, we are unable to determine if any adjustments may have been necessary on the balances as at 30 June 2021 and the results of operations for the period then ended and to the respective comparative figures. |
