Financial & insurance activities · commissions, bank reconciliation and permissions

A commission you're owed and never claimed isn't forgetfulness — it's a missing system

In brokerage, finance and insurance, revenue is built on commissions, shares and rates, managed in scattered spreadsheets — so a claim gets lost here and bank differences pile up there. Furat works out the commission on every policy and product net of shares, reconciles bank transactions automatically, and controls approvals with financial limits and an audit trail that cannot be deleted.

Quick answer

What's the best accounting software for finance and insurance companies in Saudi Arabia?

The right financial-sector software must give you five things: commissions worked out for every policy or product net of shares, automatic bank reconciliation that exposes unrecorded transactions, tiered permissions and approvals with a financial limit for every user, an audit trail that cannot be deleted, and ZATCA-compliant invoices. Furat brings them together in Arabic; the package starts at SAR 229 a month before VAT, live in three to five days.

Why a system matters here

Why doesn't general accounting work for a financial company?

Because your revenue is a share of a transaction, not a sale price. A commission is earned when the policy is issued, split between the company, the adviser and perhaps a second broker, and collected from a third party some time later. On top of that comes heavy cash movement that needs daily reconciliation and strict permissions. A general system knows neither the policy nor its shares, so claims get lost and differences pile up.

Commission worked out automatically

Every product and broker rate is fixed in the system, so the commission and its shares are worked out the moment a policy is issued, with no side spreadsheet.

Daily bank reconciliation

Import the bank statement and match it against recorded transactions, so anything unrecorded shows the same day.

Approval with a financial limit

Every user has a limit; anything above it goes up to whoever holds the decision, and the log keeps who approved and when.

Benefits

What Furat adds in financial and insurance activities

Six capabilities built around running brokerage, finance and insurance in the Kingdom.

Commissions and brokerage by share

The company's commission and the adviser's and broker's shares are worked out and posted separately, at their collectable net.

A portfolio of policies and contracts

Every policy or finance product with its term, instalments, renewal dates and alerts.

Automatic bank reconciliation

Bank statements imported and matched automatically by rules, with a differences report — the month can't close until it is cleared.

Payer receivables ageing

Parties late in paying commissions, ranked by amount and age, with a record of claims.

Permissions and approval workflows

Financial limits by role and an approval workflow for every payment, so no transaction runs outside its authority.

A complete audit trail

Every entry, change and approval with its user, its time and its value before and after the change — nothing deleted.

Risks and losses

How does Furat protect you from losses and risks?

Five losses that keep recurring at financial companies, and where the system stops each one with a control, not personal judgement.

In the financial sector, weak controls cost more than weak revenue. The difference between a company that is ready for audit and one that gets surprised is a log that cannot be deleted and clear approval limits.

Questions financial companies ask

How does Furat work out commissions and brokers' shares?

Every product's rate and every broker's or adviser's share is fixed in the contract inside the system. When the policy or finance product is issued, the commission is worked out and posted as revenue receivable and the shares as a matching liability, so the collectable net shows with no side spreadsheets and no dispute over the figures.

Does bank reconciliation run automatically?

Yes. Bank statements are imported and matched by rules on amount, date and reference, and anything that doesn't match shows in a differences report with an owner to follow it up. The month-end close can't be approved until the differences are cleared, so they don't pile up for months and then get settled with one lump entry.

How are permissions and approvals controlled?

Every user has a role and a financial limit, and every type of transaction has an approval workflow. Whoever enters an entry doesn't approve it, and whoever approves doesn't make the payment. Every approval and change is recorded in an audit trail that cannot be deleted and keeps the value before and after the change, with its user and time.

How long does it take to get Furat running at a financial company?

Three to five working days. We set up the chart of accounts, commission rates, approval limits and permissions, migrate your portfolio, the commission balances owed to you and your bank accounts from Excel for free, train finance and operations remotely in Arabic, then run your first bank reconciliation with you.
