Hey,
Can you please help whether we have to use the same percentages (revenue/assets/PBIT) as for materiality to decide whether a sub. is significant component of the group?
Thanks a lot!

“The group audit team should also determine component materiality for those components where component auditors will perform an audit or a review for the purposes of the group audit. Component materiality is set at a lower level than group materiality and can be set at different levels for different components”
I cannot see anywhere any reference to percentages but that’s only to be expected … they are, after all, only to be used as a guide
Here’s a link to an article from last month – I believe that it was in Student Accountant – that is probably worth a read
OK?
