In q1 if you are required to base materiality on % of PBT should you base figures against PBT on q2 & 3 or can you choose to use % of revenue and assets?
In Q1 you should do as instructed. You shouldn’t assume it will always be PBT. In other Qs e.g. “completion stage” you should assess a misstatement against a relevant benchmark i.e. not again revenue unless revenue is affected.
