    I don’t believe that there is a hard-and-fast rule. It really depends upon the subjective assessment of the audit partner but, if there’s too much subjectivity involved, that partner will most likely discuss the matter with the firm’s other partners

    OK?

    Thank you sir.

    if we did calculated that the acquired entity is 5% to group, is this consider as significant component?

    As I wonder does it exist threshold like materiality level?

    Thanks

    No, not that I’m aware. I suppose the 5% could be viewed as material but equally it need not be. For example, if the other 95% were derived from a single source, then 5% could be viewed as not material

    Subjectivity – that’s the key!
