§5 Capacity building#
- Saudi training: trainee labor stays in §3; training fees move here. Sample 10 trainees + their certificates.
- Supplier development: contracts and deliverables. Confirm beneficiaries are in-Kingdom suppliers.
- R&D in-Kingdom: project charter + time-sheets + lab invoices.
§6 Depreciation & amortization#
- Obtain the asset register classified as local vs import at acquisition.
- Tie the period depreciation to the FS depreciation expense; reconcile any difference.
- For mixed-origin assets (e.g. installed cost in KSA + imported equipment), split per the LCGPA classification rules.
§7 Residual costs#
Anything that didn't fit in §3–§6 is here. Inspect the largest items and ensure none should have been disclosed as suppliers or labor.
