    Hi there,

    I have a question in relation to audit materiality. I understand there are 3 levels of materiality such as:
    – Materiality;
    – Performance Materiality;
    – % of PM
    – Specific Materiality

    I have confusion when to use specific materiality or performance mat or % of performance mat when there is variance or misstatement.

    I request if someone can explain with example.

    Thanks.

    You will have to give me an example where you are seeing “specific materiality” – I am not aware of this as a term, and I don’t know what you mean by “% of PM” as a “level”.

    There are two levels relevant to AA “materiality” (meaning for the financial statements as a whole) and “performance materiality” (see page 35 of the notes).

    There is also a term “component materiality” – but this is relevant only in the audit of groups so not examinable in AA.
