Hi,
We are required to show materiality calculation for Question 1 (Audit risk) and Question 2 or 3 (when question asks to comment on the matters)
But for question 1, just calculating 1 relevant materiality will be sufficient (among revenue, total assets and profit before tax)
However for question 2 or 3, we are required to calculate all relevant calculation unlike question 1 ?
Because in March June 2019 paper, for question 3(b), examiner showed 2 calculations for (i) and (ii) in the marking scheme. So i was wondering if we can show just 1 materialty calculation for Question 2 or 3 as well
I don’t know what you mean – in Q3(b) there were 3 accounting treatments and for each there is a calculation of materiality which is relevant to the evaluation of the accounting treatment. (If a matter is not material the accounting treatment hardly matters.)
Yes for Q3(b), 3 accounting treatments have calculation of materiality. However for Q1, if one of the audit risk is overstatement of revenue, do we need to calculate revenue and profit before taxation ? or just one either revenue or profit before taxation ?
Because during exam, i’m worried because i won’t have much time to calculate so i would like to know whether we are required to calculate just 1 materiality calculation or all relevant materiality calculatin to score 1 mark as per marking scheme
Please see here my posts about making only RELEVANT calculations of materiality https://opentuition.com/topic/march-june-2016-boston/
Just one relevant calculation is all that is needed.
