    Hello Kim,

    When calculate materiality, why in the solution the examiner used “year end provison balance/Profit” (ie. 7/107 = 6.54%) to determine whether it is material to profit?

    Why do not use “the change in provision value/profit” (ie. 4.5/107 = 4.21%), therefore not material to profit?

    Thank you.

    Regards,
    Marthew

    Only a small amount of the provision has been used and more than 25% has been reversed as no longer required – so we are looking at the maximum potential impact the balance has on the financial statements – if it was not required (at all) it would be written back in full.

    You need to read it not only in conjunction with Marthew’s post but the information that was given in the question.
