The company as well failed to inform CMA and the public in a timely manner that the Saudi Monetary Agency has prohibited it from accepting any new subscribers in any of its insurance activities or renewing insurance policies of any kind as of 07/09/2014 until a decision by the Agency is issued stating that the company has corrected its position.
