Please see my post here about calculating RELEVANT materiality https://opentuition.com/topic/march-june-2016-boston/ So if you have a misstatement of $1,234k you calculate that as a % of the RELEVANT parameter(s) and compare that with the "benchmarks". So if it was $1,234k understatement of a liability that would be overstatement of PBT. If > 10% PBT that's definitely material If < 5% it's not material (but would go on a list of potential adjustement) If between the two it's a matter of judgement - the might also consider % of total current liabilities as well as total assets in making this judgement.
