Common measures for initial assessment of materiallity are:
0.5-1% of turnover
5-10% of Profit
1-2% of assets
But
example: A company do not provide for depreciation on its PPE ( $25,000 depreciation should be charged)
PBT=$250,000
PPE= 2.5m
Hence calculation of materiality is 25,000/250,000=10% of profit and 25,000/2.5m=1% of PPE
Is it MATERIAL to the FS? ( I mean it is exactly the same percentage as benchmark .. this mean that this is material or not?)
It is material
0.5-1% of turnover
5-10% of Profit
1-2% of assets
are preliminary measures of materiality, and the very fact that ranges are mentioned implies that materiality is not an exact science.
In the case you mention, in an exam answer, I would say that the error is material.
