Tadawul Nomu Listing Readiness
Coordinated ICOFR and regulatory submissions for KSA healthcare subsidiary.
Names, identifiers, and proprietary facts are abstracted where required. The underlying operational patterns and outcomes remain faithful to the real engagement.
Coordinated ICOFR and regulatory submissions for KSA healthcare subsidiary.
Successful governance structuring for parallel market listing.
Test Your Enterprise Against CMA Nomu Standards
Derived directly from the regulatory methodology used in this engagement, test your organization's compliance across all 5 CMA Governance Pillars: Board Composition, Audit Committee Mandate, ICOFR Controls, and Related Party Disclosures.
1. Benford's AP Anomaly Engine (Python)
Audit Purpose: Scans accounts payable (AP) journal data to identify statistical deviation from Benford's distribution, signaling potential invoice splitting under delegation of authority (DoA) thresholds.
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
def run_benford_audit(df_ap_transactions, amount_col='amount'):
"""
Analyzes transaction distribution against Benford's Law.
Flags vendors/employees exhibiting high chi-square deviation.
"""
# 1. Extract the first digit (ignoring zeros, negatives, and decimals)
df = df_ap_transactions[df_ap_transactions[amount_col] >= 1.0].copy()
df['first_digit'] = df[amount_col].apply(lambda x: int(str(abs(x)).replace('.', '').lstrip('0')[0]))
# 2. Calculate actual frequencies
digit_counts = df['first_digit'].value_counts().reindex(range(1, 10), fill_value=0)
total_count = len(df)
# 3. Calculate Benford expected frequencies
benford_probs = {d: np.log10(1 + 1/d) for d in range(1, 10)}
expected_counts = {d: benford_probs[d] * total_count for d in range(1, 10)}
# 4. Perform Chi-Square Goodness-of-Fit test
chi_square_stats = {}
for d in range(1, 10):
observed = digit_counts[d]
expected = expected_counts[d]
chi_sq_val = ((observed - expected) ** 2) / expected
chi_square_stats[d] = {
'observed': observed,
'expected': round(expected, 2),
'deviation': round(observed - expected, 2),
'chi_sq': round(chi_sq_val, 4)
}
total_chi_sq = sum(c['chi_sq'] for c in chi_square_stats.values())
critical_value_99 = 20.09 # df=8, p=0.01
return {
'total_chi_sq': round(total_chi_sq, 2),

}By running this engine daily, we transition from examining a tiny 5% random audit sample to a complete 100% population scan, instantly flagging invoice splitting (e.g. breaking a single AED 100K transaction into three separate AED 33K invoices to bypass Director-level approval).
All client names, employer names, and specific figures have been anonymised in accordance with confidentiality obligations and professional standards.
