Saudi Aramco: Public
Introduction The iktva program requires our suppliers to report qualitative and quantitative information
that falls into seven major categories:
Category A: Local Goods, Services, and Depreciation/Amortization;
Category B: Saudi Compensation;
Category C: Training and Development of Saudis;
Category D: Development of Local Suppliers;
Category R: Research and Development;
Category E: In-Kingdom Revenue (including exports);
Other: Capital investments, female employment, SME spend, etc.
From this data, Saudi Aramco calculates an iktva ratio that approximates the percent of
Saudi Aramco’s spend that remains in Kingdom or develops the Kingdom’s supply chain and
capabilities. The iktva ratio formula is illustrated below:
Remember:
Saudi Aramco requires third party verification of the company’s iktva survey. Visit
www.iktva.sa/auditfirms/ to see the list of our approved auditors.
First time filers will be required to complete the iktva data for three years.
Reports will be submitted annually
• New Filer is due within 7 months after the company’s fiscal year end.
• Repeat Filer is due within 5 months after the company’s fiscal year end.
Self-certification is sufficient for companies that only have out-of-Kingdom operations,
minimal In-Kingdom content (less than 5%), or are in a startup mode operating at a loss.

AHSM is a multinational manufacturing company with operations in
Houston, Dammam and Jeddah. It has two main product lines:
➢ Pressure vessels which are produced in their Damman factory.
➢ Valves which are produced in Houston and imported to their warehouse and distribution center located in Jeddah. Valve sales are made directly with the Houston company.
AHSM’s controller and director of human resources have been tasked
with completing the company’s iktva survey and have gathered the
following financial and payroll data.
Case Study The purpose of this guide is to walk you through how to complete the survey by using a
hypothetical company, A.H.S. Metalworks (AHSM). The case study will only focus on
completing the survey for a single year, although the methodology will be the same for all
years included in the survey. This guide should be used in combination with the 2019 iktva
Survey Guide which contains more detailed instructions.
REVENUES
AHSM pressure vessel operation in KSA sells to Saudi Aramco and other customers located
in-Kingdom in addition to having several other customers located in the GCC region. In
2019, pressure vessel sales totaled $50 million, broken down as follows:
1. Saudi Aramco $20 million
2. Other KSA customers $28 million, and export sales $2 million.
AHSM also has multiple KSA customers for valves. During 2019, valve sales to Saudi
Aramco were $12 million and other KSA customers were $8 million.
GOODS AND SERVICES
The company spent $7.0 million with OOK suppliers. In addition, it has over 50 in-Kingdom suppliers. However, in addition to Financing Costs and Government Payments, five suppliers made up more than 70% of their in-Kingdom purchases which totaled $21.0 million in 2019. Though, in 2019, there was a $1.1 million increase in the company’s raw material inventories, $0.9 million of which was related to inventory procured from IK suppliers. Since the company could not identify specifically which IK suppliers the increase related to, AHSM did a high level adjustment in the Top IK suppliers table to smooth the variances from year to year. Their total in-Kingdom spend is as follows:

Saudi Aramco: Public
AHSM’s local headcount includes 150 Saudis including one
Saudi employee who works in the Houston factory and 180
expat employees. The total payroll costs, including all benefits
for these employees, were $14.725 million, which included $6
million in total Saudi compensation and $8.725 million in total
expat compensation. The Saudi employees include 15 women
who are paid a total of $450,000.
1. Industrial Fabrication Company $10,000,000
2. SOS Company $1,500,000
3. Government Payments $1,031,500
4. STC $850,000
5. Alseef Catering Company $650,000
6. Financing Costs $500,000
7. Elias Trading Company $450,000
8. All other $6,000,000
$20,981,500
9. Significant Changes in Inventory ($900,000)
$20,081,500
PERSONNEL
TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
AHSM has an active on-the-job and outside the company training program that was headed
up by an expat employee. Since the company places such a high emphasis on learning,
high potential employees prepare a learning plan and spend 40 hours a year obtaining
some type of training. The estimated cost of this program is $500,000 as follows:
1. Expat Employee $300,000
2. Tuition and class fees $180,000
3. Supplies, facilities, etc. $20,000
$500,000
AHSM trained 100 employees during 2019. 75% of the trained employees were Saudis.
Thus, AHSM estimated that $375,000, or 75% of the costs outlined above, are related to
their Saudi workforce.
In addition to those costs, AHSM spent $50,000 on travel and accommodations for the
Saudi employees to attend courses out-of-Kingdom and donated another $75,000 in cash
and equipment to a local training center which focuses on welding and machining skills.
As a result of the above training related costs, AHSM estimates it spent $500,000 in
training and development of its Saudi workforce in 2019, $25,000 of which was spent for
training targeted at women.

The company also conducts extensive research and
development in its Dammam facility exploring ways where
composites might be used to replace steel in some of their
components. In 2019, they spent $500,000 on R&D. Of this
amount, $300,000 was spent on two expat employees. The
remaining $200,000 was paid to a local technology
development center associated with KFUPM.
SUPPLIER DEVELOPMENT
To increase its iktva ratio, AHSM has been actively pursuing local sources of materials and
exploring expanding its Jeddah valve operations to include some manufacturing and
assembly. It hired an expat employee that spends his full-time efforts looking for new
local sources, qualifying and certifying those sources, and overseeing quality and delivery
for the first year. The expat’s total compensation is $200,000 per year. In addition, AHSM
was approached by a startup company that was located next door to its warehouse in
Jeddah. The company, which specializes in machining of metal parts, proposed to
machine AHSM’s cast valve casings instead of having the finished casings imported from
Houston. In order to handle the volume and capacity required, the startup would need
additional equipment and software. After completing a comprehensive cost benefit
analysis, AHSM decided to donate $100,000 of imported new CNC equipment and CAD
software to the startup, bringing the total supplier development costs up to $300,000 for
the year.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
During 2019, AHSM acquired $3.5 million in property, plant, and equipment to support its
operations in Saudi Arabia. Some of those assets were imported while others were
manufactured locally. Below is a breakdown of the assets acquired during 2019.
1. Building $625,000
2. Building Improvements $100,000
3. Manufacturing Equip. (Imported) $375,000
4. Software $400,000
5. Vehicles (Imported) $20,000
6. Other Equipment
- Manufactured IK $900,000
- Imported $1,080,000
$3,500,000

General Instruction All financial amounts should be reported in USD.
Amounts reported should correspond to the company’s fiscal year end audited
financial statements.
Revenues and costs reported in the iktva survey should be consistent with the
revenues and costs the company would report utilizing International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in
Saudi Arabia.
Amounts should not be double counted. For example, if Training Costs are listed,
these costs should not also be included in Goods and Services or Payroll.
In most instances, companies are required to submit an iktva survey covering all of
its in-Kingdom (IK) operations and revenue. However, Saudi Aramco may ask some
suppliers to file separate iktva surveys if they operate in multiple segments.
For companies with partially owned Joint Ventures (JVs), affiliates and subsidiaries
that file a consolidated return, they will only recognize their ownership share of
the related companies’ results.
For consolidated submissions, intercompany transactions between related entities
should be eliminated.
Assumptions and calculation methodologies utilized should be consistent with prior
years and with the guidelines provided by Saudi Aramco.
There are two columns for data for each year in the iktva survey: one column is
for Saudi Aramco only and the other is for all in-Kingdom customers, including
Saudi Aramco, and exports.
Amounts reported in the iktva surveys need to be supported by appropriate and
auditable documentation similar to what is used in financial audits.
Survey fields/cells with BLACK numbers contain formulas and calculations derived
from the input fields and should not be changed. On the other hand, fields/cells
that contain numbers in GREEN are for data input.
IMPORTANT: The Excel survey tool has been password protected to maintain the
integrity of the formulas used to calculate and analyze your company’s iktva data.
All data input cells necessary to complete the survey are unlocked. This password
protection feature should not be tampered with. Any Excel files submitted without
the password protection in place will not be accepted and the company will need
to refile its survey using the approved Excel file.
The correct survey tool should be used (First Time or Repeat Filer version) and can
be found at: https://www.iktva.sa/iktva-package/

Page 2: iktva Schedule Page 2: iktva Schedule, which contains all of the iktva categories, is the heart of the survey.
It contains all of the necessary information to calculate the iktva ratio. Some of the fields
on this page are for direct input (numbers in green), while others are derived from
supporting schedules (numbers in black).
Category E – Section 1.0: Revenue
The revenue section captures revenue generated from goods and services provided to Saudi
Aramco, other KSA customers and exports from In-Kingdom operations.
In AHSM’s case, total revenue is $70 million, including $50 million from pressure vessels and
$20 million from valves. During 2019, Saudi Aramco sales included $20 million in pressure
vessels and $12 million in valves. The company also exported $2 million to various other
GCC customers. Based on this information, Section 1.0 would be completed as follows:
Remember:
For partially owned entities of the company, partial credit is given.
Saudi Aramco Revenue:
• Subset of Total KSA Revenue
• Indirect revenue through agents and EPCs should be included.
• Saudi Aramco’s partially owned subsidiaries and JVs should be excluded.
• Should be confirmed with Saudi Aramco through
To qualify as export revenue: • The end user of the goods or services must be located outside KSA.
• The economic activity for the transaction(s) involves the transfer of goods to or the
rendering of services for these end users.
• Exported goods and services that are resold to KSA based customers should be excluded.
Decide on which methodology will be used to allocate costs and headcount to Saudi
Aramco:
• Revenue Ratio [Default setting in the survey]
Saudi Aramco Revenue from IK Operations x Total KSA Costs/Headcounts
Total KSA Revenue from IK Operations + Exports
In the example above, the revenue ratio is (40%)

Category A – Section 2.0: Goods, Services, and Depreciation/
Amortization
The Goods, Services and Depreciation/Amortization section provides the company’s IK
supply chain purchases. All the three lines in Section 2.0 are derived from supporting
schedules.
Goods and Services category is not meant to be limited to costs used to derive gross
margins. In addition to expenditures that would normally be included in Cost of Goods
Sold, Cost of Sales, or Cost of Services, the Goods and Services category is intended to
capture purchases from all IK suppliers regardless of how they are classified on an income
statement.
➢ Production costs ➢ Selling, marketing, and
other administration and operating costs
➢ Financing charges ➢ Insurance ➢ Government payment
(taxes, zakat, customs,
duties, non-refundable VAT,
iqama, visa, and dependent
fees, etc.)
Include
➢ Contract and government
related penalties
➢ Intercompany costs for
consolidated entities
➢ Cost included in other
sections
➢ Capital expenditures
➢ Non-cash transactions (e.g.
provisions, FX gains and
losses)
➢ Refundable VAT

Saudi Aramco: Public
The amounts for Goods and Services in the Saudi Aramco and Total KSA columns are derived
from Section 8.0 Top In-Kingdom Suppliers on page 3 of the survey. Thus, In order to
complete Goods and Services, you need to complete Section 8.0 first. These totals from
Section 8.0 will populate the Goods and Services amounts in Section 2.0 as shown below.
Depreciation and Amortization includes a portion of the cost of fixed or other tangible and
intangible long terms assets.
-
15
Saudi Aramco: Public
The Total KSA Depreciation and Amortization amount comes from Section 11.0 Asset
Depreciation & Amortization (page 6 of the iktva survey) as shown below.
To complete Total KSA Depreciation and Amortization, you need to complete Section 10.0
Capital Investments (page 5 of the iktva survey). The amounts in Section 10.0 will also
automatically populate Section 11.0 Asset Depreciation & Amortization.
Expat Compensation amounts for 2018 and 2019 represent 37% of the costs associated with
payroll and benefits for Expats. However, to be consistent with the iktva methodology
that was applied on 2017, only 10% is allowed for that year. The Total KSA Expat
Compensation amount is derived from Section 9.0 Labor (page 4 of the iktva survey). See
Section 9.0 for more details.

company’s employees.
To complete the required headcount and compensation information needed for Section 3.0,
Section 9.0 has to be finalized first.

Saudi Aramco: Public
Category C – Section 4.0: Training & Development of Saudis
This section has two main components which are trained headcount and training and
development costs. AHSM spent $625,000 on its training program. However, it can only
claim $500,000 – the portion which is directly related to training of Saudis and its
contribution to the training center. Keep in mind that the Expat trainer’s compensation
reported in this section should be deducted from the Expat Compensation amount reported
in Section 9.0 Labor. Training and Development costs and headcounts are directly input into
Section 4.0.
Remember:
The headcount data comes directly from the company’s fiscal year-end GOSI reports
while total Saudi compensation should come from the company’s payroll records.
Saudi Aramco costs and headcounts can be allocated using Revenue Ratio or Direct
Costing methodologies.
In the example above, the revenue ratio (40%) is being used.
Remember:
OOK costs related to Training & Development of Saudis can be included.
Training & Development cost can include travel and accommodations, training courses, annual software license fees related to training, outside training
consultants, portion of compensation for expats related to training Saudis,
technical training academies, internship, co-op sponsorship costs as well as
donations and contributions to training academies and institutes.
Reasonable estimates are accepted. However, if high level assumptions are
used resulting in substantial iktva credit, an approval from Saudi Aramco’s
iktva Certification Unit for those assumptions must be obtained before
submitting the survey.
Any donations-in-kind claimed in this category should not exceed 1% of total
revenue.
Saudi Aramco costs can be allocated using Revenue Ratio or Direct Costing
methodologies.

Saudi Aramco: Public
Category D – Section 5.0 & Section 12.0: Supplier
Development
Supplier Development Costs include costs incurred to increase the performance, skills and
capabilities of local suppliers. Such costs include activities such as supplier training, supplier
certification programs, cross-company design for manufacturability initiatives, quality
control inspections, and qualification support.
The amounts listed in Section 5.0 are derived from Section 12.0 Supplier Development on
Page 7 of the iktva survey. The table in Section 12.0 will automatically calculate a bonus
factor (up to 5 percentage points of iktva credit) if the company has spent at least 1.25% of
2019 revenue on Supplier Development.
To be fair among all iktva participants and consistent with the iktva methodology that was
applied prior to 2019, the bonus factor will not impact 2017 and 2018 reported in first time
filers’ surveys.
The full $300,000 AHSM spent on local sourcing and supplier development activities can be
included even though it includes expat compensation and imported equipment costs. The
Expat employee’s compensation reported in this section should be deducted from the Expat
Compensation amount reported in Section 9.0 Labor.
As stated previously, Section 12.0 will update Section 5.0 as shown in the illustration
below:
-
20
Saudi Aramco: Public
Category R – Section 6.0 & Section 13.0: In-Kingdom Research
& Development
Category R includes costs related to performing research and development activities in the
Kingdom. It should contain the total amount of annual operating expenses related to
research and development (R&D) activities conducted IK. R&D costs can include expat
compensation as well as IK and OOK goods and services.
The amounts listed in Section 6.0 are derived from Section 13.0 In-Kingdom Research and
Development on Page 7 of the iktva survey. Similar to Section 12.0, a bonus factor (up to 5
percentage points of iktva credit) will automatically be calculated if the company has spent
at least 1.25% of 2019 revenue on In-Kingdom Research and Development.
As mentioned earlier, the bonus factor will only impact AHSM’s 2019 and future iktva scores.
Remember:
OOK costs related to Supplier Development can be included.
Reasonable estimates are accepted. However, if high level assumptions are used
resulting in substantial iktva credit, an approval from Saudi Aramco’s iktva
Certification Unit for those assumptions must be obtained before submitting the
survey.
Any donations-in-kind claimed in this category should be approved by Saudi
Aramco’s iktva Certification Unit in advance of filing the survey.
Saudi Aramco costs can be allocated using Revenue Ratio or Direct Costing
methodologies.
In the example above, the revenue ratio (40%) is being used.
-
21
Saudi Aramco: Public
Remember:
The types of costs that can be classified as R&D should be consistent with guidance
provided by IFRS or Saudi Arabian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. International Accounting Standard 38 Intangible Assets offers the following
definitions:
- Research is original and planned investigation undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding.
- Development is the application of research findings or other knowledge to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved materials,
devices, products, processes, systems or services before the start of
commercial production or use.
Corporate allocations from the company’s R&D centers located outside the Kingdom
do not qualify.
OOK costs related to IK Research and Development can be included.
Any donations-in-kind claimed for R&D must be approved in advance by Saudi Aramco.
Saudi Aramco costs can be allocated using Revenue Ratio or Direct Costing
methodologies.

Page 3 - Section 8.0: Top In-Kingdom
Suppliers This section captures the company’s IK spend with its supply chain. The list of the IK
suppliers should be sorted in descending order based on amounts purchased for the most
recent year reported.
The company has to input the following information into the table:
Supplier’s name.
Supplier’s commercial registration number.
Small and Medium Sized Enterprise (SME) designation. From the drop down
menu, select if the supplier is an SME or not. SMEs have been defined as
any enterprise with an independent commercial registration that has less
than 250 employees, and less than $53 million in revenue.
A brief but thorough description of the types of goods and/or services
provided.
From the drop down menu, considering the types of goods and services
provided, select the correct segment for that supplier.
For materials, from the drop down menu, select Locally Produced or
Imported.
From the drop down menu, select the source of iktva ratio (Estimated or
Provided). Provided should be selected only if an actual iktva ratio
approved by Saudi Aramco was obtained from the company’s supplier.
Saudi Aramco’s portion. If the company is using the Revenue Ratio to
allocate costs to Saudi Aramco, then nothing needs to be input as Revenue
Ratio is the default methodology. This should only be overwritten if the
company is using Direct Costing to assign its costs to Saudi Aramco.
Total consumption/purchases for the year for that supplier.
Supplier’s iktva ratio. The default setting for this field relies on the inputs
for “Business Segment” and for materials “Procured Locally or Imported”.
-
25
Saudi Aramco: Public
This field will be automatically populated after selecting the supplier’s
segment. On the other hand, the ratio will be adjusted to 0% for materials
if they are imported except for car and tire agencies. However, the iktva
ratio can be overwritten if the actual iktva ratio is provided by the
supplier, or if the company has strong justification to use a different ratio
than the ratio provided in the Saudi Aramco guidance.
The top IK suppliers table also includes three predefined rows that are designated for a
specific grouping of expenses, not for a specific supplier.
- Significant Changes in Inventory and Accruals: for many companies, annual supplier
invoicing data is readily available, but consumption data may or may not be
available, making it more difficult to complete the top IK supplier table on an
accrual basis. If end of year changes to inventories and other accruals are
relatively small, companies can ignore the changes and report purchasing data.
Otherwise, the purchasing data should be adjusted to reflect timing differences
and/or changes in inventory and other balance sheet accounts. This row should
include significant changes in inventory and accruals which you are unable to
associate with a specific supplier. The iktva ratio used on this amount will default
to the weighted average iktva ratio generated by the other suppliers and expense
groupings listed for that year. The default can be overridden if justified.
- Government Payments: include taxes, zakat, withholding taxes, customs, duties,
nonrefundable VAT, expat related fees, etc. They are assigned an iktva ratio of
100%.
- Financing Costs: include any interest and finance changes paid to local banks,
lending institutions, lessors, etc. It does not include principal payments made to
these entities. Financing costs receive an iktva ratio of 70%.
Once the by-supplier detail totals 70% of the company’s IK spend, the company can stop
adding suppliers to the list. Any remaining IK purchases can be listed as “Other” (see last
line on the table) and the company can use an iktva ratio of 100% for this line.
-
26
Saudi Aramco: Public
Alternatively when the company reaches 50 suppliers, it can also stop and add the
remaining IK spend in “Other.” However, if the supplier detail provided is less than 70%,
then the iktva ratio applied to the Other row will be reduced accordingly.
In Section 8.0, AHSM will list its top five suppliers in descending order. Including financing
costs, changes in inventory, and government payments, these five suppliers will make up
70% of AHSM’s total purchases, AHSM will add these costs at the bottom of the Top In-
Kingdom Supplier table (see row 60 - 62), then include $6.0 million of other IK purchases
on the last line – “Other”. The $7 million spent with OOK suppliers is excluded.
Next, AHSM will describe the types of goods or services procured from those suppliers,
complete the SME designation field, select the proper segment, and then note whether
the materials are imported or produced locally. The iktva ratios will automatically
populate once AHSM completes the business segment field. However, regardless of the
chosen segment, if the provided material is imported, the iktva ratio will be adjusted to
0% except for car and tire agencies. AHSM will use the populated iktva ratios as it doesn’t
have the actual iktva ratios for its suppliers and will use the default formula for inventory
changes as well.
Finally, AHSM will indicate the source of the supplier’s iktva ratio. In AHSM’s case, the
source of iktva ratio will be Estimated for all companies. The iktva ratios can be
overwritten if they are actual ratios provided by the suppliers or if the company has strong
justification to not use the estimates given by Saudi Aramco.
As can be seen from the table above, once the suppliers’ iktva ratios are applied, AHSM will
receive $11.3 million of IK credit for its $20.1 million purchases of IK goods and services. As
a reminder, the $11.3 million IK portion for Total KSA and the $4.5 million for Saudi Aramco
will automatically update Section 2.0 In-Kingdom Goods, Services, &
Depreciation/Amortization.
-
27
Saudi Aramco: Public
Remember:
OOK suppliers and any intercompany supply sources that are consolidated into the iktva
survey must be excluded.
If significant, you may need to adjust the supplier invoicing data for timing differences
and/or changes in inventory or base this table on consumption, not purchases.
If a supplier provides goods or services that fit into multiple segments with different iktva
rates, you should assign the segment and iktva score that represent the majority of the
goods/services provided, or list the supplier on two separate lines.
Completing government payments and financing costs is not required in some cases. If these
costs are not part of the 70% detail of the total IK goods and services, they can be added
to the other row.
The details for the “Other” row should be readily available for auditing purposes.

Headcount and Job Categories
In this section, the company will categorize its total employment base into one of 10
categories according to the International Standard Classification of Occupations.
To complete this section, AHSM started with its organization chart and determined, by job
type/description, which of 10 Job Categories listed in Section 9.0 Labor was appropriate.
After categorizing and splitting its employee base into Saudi and expat components for each
position, the HR Director checked the year end GOSI report to ensure the numbers were
consistent. In addition, he added the Saudi expat who works in their OOK operations.
Compensation
The costs reported here include such items as salaries, wages, bonuses, commissions,
overtime, and benefits. Benefits would include car allowances, transportation,
healthcare, end of service awards, and other compensation related perks provided to the
company’s employees. The company will provide total compensation expense broken down
between Saudi and expat compensation.
As part of Section 9.0, AHSM’s HR Director completed the Compensation chart, dividing
AHSM’ total compensation into two categories – Saudi including the Saudi expat
($6,000,000) and Expat ($8,000,000). Since AHSM has previously claimed Expat
compensation cost of $225,000 in Section 4.0 Training and Development ($300,000 x 75%),
$200,000 in Section 5.0 Supplier Development, and $300,000 in Section 6.0 Research and
Development, AHSM deducted $725,000 from the Expat Compensation totals reported in
Section 9.0.
The data input in Section 9.0 will automatically update the information required for
Section 2.0 Expat Compensation line and Section 3.0 Saudi Compensation.

Remember:
Compensation costs cannot be included in more than one section. For example,
if the company has an expat dedicated to training of Saudis, it would be
advantageous for the company to exclude his/her compensation costs from
Section 9.0 Labor and instead include 100% of the expat compensation costs in
Section 4.0 Training and Development.
Owner/Management Remuneration should not be included in this section.
Compensation must be GOSI registered in order to be claimed in Category B.
Saudi Expats (Saudi Nationals working outside the Kingdom) should be reported
in this section.

Page 5 - Section 10.0: Capital
Investments The iktva survey includes capital expenditures that the company has made for its IK
operations. For first time filers, the details for its annual capital expenditures are listed on
Page 5a CAPEX Table, and summarized on Page 5 Capital Investments. Repeat filers only
need to provide detail for one year on Page 5 Capital Investments unless they choose to
restate their deprecation amount (refer to the survey guide for more details).
To complete the table below, the company will need to know the description of the assets,
their costs, and whether or not those assets were manufactured locally. For assets
manufactured IK, 100% of the acquisition cost will be allowed for depreciation purposes.
However, only 20% of the cost will be allowed for imported fixed assets.
Please note that disposals should only be deducted if previously included in prior year
surveys’ deprecation schedule. The amount deducted will be the net book value after
allowing for depreciation on a 10-year straight-line basis. Disposals are netted with
acquisitions by Asset Class to be reported in the iktva survey.
As mentioned earlier, during 2019 AHSM acquired $3.5 million in property, plant, and
equipment to support its operations in Saudi Arabia. AHSM reviewed its fixed asset
register and categorized each asset as either being manufactured IK or imported. Next
AHSM categorized its assets into the Asset Classes listed in Section 10.0. Having done this,
AHSM is ready to complete Section 10.0. Below is a breakdown of the assets acquired
during 2019 and how they would appear in the table.
1. Building $625,000
2. Building Improvements $100,000
3. Manufacturing Equip. (Imported) $375,000
4. Software (Imported) $400,000
5. Vehicles (Imported) $20,000
6. Other Equipment
- Manufactured IK $900,000
- Imported $1,080,000
$3,500,000

Remember:
Major refurbishments and repairs, if capitalized for financial reporting purposes,
should be included.
Exclude construction in progress or assets that have not yet been placed in service.
Exclude assets that are not utilized in operating the business.
Disposals are netted with acquisitions by Asset Class to be reported in the iktva
survey.
A capital intensive company may choose to go back 12 years. At a minimum, first time filers should include capital asset information on Page 5a CAPEX Table for at
least three years.

Page 6 - Section 11.0: Depreciation and
Amortization Section 11.0 is automatically populated based on capital and intangible expenditure details
provided in Section 10.0 Capital Investments (see below). For estimated useful lives, we
apply a very simplified method. All of the assets acquired that year, even including land
which is not normally depreciated, are depreciated or amortized over a 10 year life
regardless of its actual useful life.
As a reminder, the annual depreciation calculated in Section 11.0 will update the
Depreciation & Amortization line in Section 2.0 In-Kingdom Goods, Services, and
Depreciation/Amortization.
In AHSM’s case, the $2 million IK allowance covering its capital expenditures for 2019 listed
in Section 10.0 will be depreciated over 10 years. The total depreciation for 2019, resulting
from the prior 10 years of capital expenditures, will populate the required total in Section
2.0.
Note:
Repeat filers will input the In-Kingdom portion for years 2009 to 2017 from the prior year
certified survey if they choose not to restate the historical deprecation amount. Data will
be provided by Saudi Aramco with the Revenue Confirmation Request.

Employment In this section, the company provides both headcount and cost information related to its
female employees. Costs and headcounts related to Saudi females will be a subset of the
information provided for total Saudis.
During 2019, AHSM employed 15 Saudi women with a total compensation of $450,000 and
provided training to eight of them at a cost of $25,000. AHSM would complete this section
as follows:
AHSM will also name the main roles of female employees, policies or initiatives in place to

Page 9 – Reconciliation Table The final page of the iktva survey is the Reconciliation Table. The main function of the
reconciliation table is to show the reconciliation of the company’s costs from its audited
financial statements to the costs included in the iktva survey. The format of the
Reconciliation Table can be modified to meet the company’s specific situation. Rows can
be added/deleted and descriptions can be changed. However, those rows that are blue in
color must be included. These cannot be overridden or changed since they are numbers
which should agree with other sections of the iktva survey. If the totals do not agree, an
error message will appear.
AHSM used its 2019 audited financial statements to prepare the table above. From the
income statement, AHSM listed the total costs for 2019 as per their local books and it
included additional costs that are related to the Saudi expat employee. Then, it
eliminated all the disallowable costs for Section 8.0 Top IK Suppliers Table. Since AHSM is
submitting a consolidated survey, it excluded the intercompany transactions with its
overseas sister company. In addition, it eliminated all other disallowable costs and costs
recognized in other sections in the iktva survey. And finally, to make sure that the
reconciliation table was done correctly, AHSM agreed all the items in blue under the
eliminations section with the corresponding sections within the survey. In addition, AHSM
matched the $20 million IK purchases to a detailed listing it prepared for its auditor.
AHSM is now ready to provide its survey to its selected accounting firm to be audited.
Note:
The eliminations should be listed as deductions, or negative numbers. Otherwise,
error indicators will be displayed.
A detailed listing supporting the total G&S purchased from IK suppliers should be
prepared and provided to the auditors.

Possible Enquiries As part of Saudi Aramco’s quality review process for iktva surveys, many times we will revert
to the company with inquiries about the survey and results and wait for responses before
finalizing and issuing the company’s iktva score. The Possible Enquiries tab is designed to
facilitate Saudi Aramco’s quality review process and accelerate the survey finalization
process. This tab lists some of the potential questions that we might ask. By providing
answers as part of the survey submission process, our hope is to be more efficient and issue
the iktva summary much quicker.
Auditor Reminders The purpose of this tab is to facilitate the auditing process. The information contained on
this tab is directed toward the auditing firm selected to audit the company’s survey.
