materiality benchmarks

ANAnuja Nair9y ago
Hi sir, the materiality benchmarks are as shown below in the notes, 0.5% -1% of revenue 1% - 2% of total assets 5% - 10% of profit Does a matter have to satisfy all these three criteria in order for it to be considered MATERIAL ? Or it can satisfy any of the 3 criteria for it to be considered MATERIAL ? Also, lets say if a matter is 20% of the total assets it's not MATERIAL since it doesn't fall within the range right ?

In the exam, if it satisfies any single criterion then generally it should be considered material. In the exam, assume a matter is material if it exceeds 0.5% turnover, or 1% total assets or 5% profit.
