    bilal – the ratios that are applicable are entirely dependent upon the scenario in the question.

    Given that materiality is most frequently assessed by reference to revenue, profits and assets, the select those ratios that are relevant to those three measures.

    Your examiner will effectively lead you to the ones relevant to your answer. The only danger for you (and it doesn’t lose marks – it just loses time) is that you calculate a ratio that is irrelevant for the item identified in the question as potentially needing adjustment

    For example, you may calculate the value of an adjustment to be made in respect of a financial asset wrongly classified and compare that value with revenue. That would be a totally inappropriate base against which to measure

    OK?

    Sorry, hit send just as I realised there’s a second part to your question!

    We need to audit the outsourcer. We may not be able to get physical access to the outsourcer so must necessarily adopt alternative procedures

    These are covered in lectures and in course notes.
