Conducted a CMA-aligned readiness check for a SAR 451M capital infrastructure development firm.
IPO Readiness Assessment for Tadawul Listing
Listing on Tadawul isn’t just a financial milestone — it’s a transformation in how a company operates, governs, and presents itself to the world. For a Saudi capital infrastructure firm with SAR 451 million in assets, the journey to IPO required a complete readiness check — from boardroom oversight to bottom-line controls.
Insights Global was engaged to deliver this assessment — aligning the firm with CMA regulations, Tadawul expectations, and investor-grade maturity.
The Opportunity
The company had aggressive expansion goals and saw the public markets as a catalyst for long-term capital access. But while it had grown rapidly, its internal systems, reporting structures, and governance processes had not yet matured to meet listing expectations.
A focused readiness review was critical to avoid risks, delays, or devaluation.
Our Approach
IPO readiness isn’t just about ticking boxes. We brought a strategic lens to evaluate and elevate the organization across key verticals.
Our work included:
- Governance structure assessment — board composition, independence, charters
- Internal controls & policies review — alignment with CMA Corporate Governance Regulation
- Financial reporting readiness — IFRS compliance, consolidation processes, disclosure quality
- Risk & compliance posture — gap identification and mitigation planning
- Stakeholder preparedness — finance, HR, legal, and IT coordination
- KPI benchmarking against Tadawul listing criteria
Every finding was accompanied by actionable, prioritized recommendations — designed to create investor confidence, not just regulatory compliance.
The Impact
Our assessment created the clarity and confidence needed to move forward:
- Clear roadmap to address pre-listing risks
- Strengthened governance aligned with CMA expectations
- Greater transparency and discipline in reporting
- Improved internal controls across financial and operational areas
- Enhanced organizational readiness for due diligence and scrutiny
The client is now positioned for a smoother, faster, and more credible listing process.
IPO Is a Transformation — Not a Transaction
Going public requires more than a prospectus. It demands that companies behave like public entities before they become one — and that begins with a disciplined readiness journey.
At Insights Global, we help businesses align structure with ambition — so they can step confidently into the market spotlight.
