Challenge:
Petrochem had a few years of unfiled XBRL files which put the company at risk of being penalized by the CMA.
Solution:
We have managed to support the company in preparing the XBRL files for all the years pending quarter by quarter and uploading them in the Tadawul IFSAH system. XBRL filing was aimed to increase the transparency and accountability of the company, by displaying the information for the public, providing trustful, consistent, and correct data.
Result:
National Petrochemical Co. became fully compliant again with the CMA requirements with regards to XBRL filing and avoided any financial penalties.
