Rapid Governance Transformation for a Saudi Telecom Service Provider’s Successful IPO

Client Overview: Our client is the developer and operator of the world’s largest solar site, located in Abu Dhabi. This groundbreaking project aims to provide sustainable energy solutions on an unprecedented scale, contributing significantly to global renewable energy efforts.

Challenges: The client was under immense pressure to complete the solar project on time. Their existing processes were not well-defined, and the urgency of the project left little room for process refinement. This situation posed a risk to both the project’s timeline and its overall success.

Solution: Our team stepped in to design and implement a robust Internal Control Framework tailored to the unique needs of this large-scale solar project. We conducted a comprehensive assessment of the existing processes and identified key areas for improvement. Our approach was twofold: streamline the current operations to ensure timely project completion, and establish mature, sustainable processes to support long-term success.

Client Overview: Our client is a well-recognized service provider in the telecom sector in Saudi Arabia, known for delivering innovative communication solutions across the region. As they prepared for an Initial Public Offering (IPO), the company faced the urgent need to enhance their governance framework and operational efficiency.

Challenges: The client was racing against time to develop a comprehensive governance framework, including policies, processes, and IFRS implementation. This transformation was critical for the IPO, and the existing financial closure and procurement processes required significant improvements to meet stringent regulatory standards and investor expectations.

Solution: Our team was engaged to deliver a robust governance framework within a tight deadline. We developed and implemented necessary policies and processes, ensured full compliance with IFRS, and streamlined financial closure and procurement processes to enhance overall efficiency.

Implementation: The project was executed in several key phases:

  1. Initial Assessment: Conducted a detailed evaluation of existing policies, processes, and compliance gaps.
  2. Framework Development: Developed a comprehensive governance framework tailored to meet IPO requirements and international standards.
  3. IFRS Implementation: Ensured full compliance with IFRS, aligning financial reporting with global best practices.
  4. Process Optimization: Streamlined financial closure and procurement processes to enhance efficiency and accuracy.
  5. Training and Support: Provided extensive training for the client’s team and continuous support to ensure smooth implementation and sustainability.

Results:

  • On-Time IPO Readiness: Successfully developed and implemented the governance framework within the tight deadline, ensuring the client was fully prepared for their IPO.
  • Enhanced Compliance: Achieved full IFRS compliance, aligning financial reporting with international standards and boosting investor confidence.
  • Operational Efficiency: Brought significant process efficiencies in financial closure and procurement, reducing cycle times and improving accuracy.
