Scenario 1r
Based on the assumpton of a stable frm, where Internal Control is present. The benchmark in this answer is 21
million in proft before taxes. The ranne of materiality is put between 2 – 10% of proft before taxes.
E.n. IF 5% used 21 million * 5% = 1.05 million < 1.25 million Material
E.n. IF 10% used 21 million * 10%= 2.1 million > 1.25 million immaterial
We chose proft before taxes because it is a net-number which takes costs into account. In additon, the frm is proft
based where the shareholders are interested in the proft before taxes. Lastly, the percentane is based on the noton
how many users there are. If Murphy & Johnson is a private company, there are litle users of the fnancial statement
therefore a hinher percentane is warranted. However if Murphy & Johnson is a public frm, the percentane will be
lower!
1) Overall materiality:
Proft before taxr 5% * 21 million = 1.05 million
2) Performance materiality:
50% * 1.05 million = 525 K
3) Evaluaton of audit fndings:
The annrenate of individual fndinns was 1.25 million, based on which percentane was used, it is either material or
immaterial. 1.25 > 5%*21million) or 1.25 < 10%*21 million).
Scenario 2r
Based on the assumpton of a stable fund, where internal controls are present. The benchmark in this answer is 4.3
billion in total assets. The valuaton of assets also infuences the turnover of the frm. The ranne of materiality minht
be in between 0,25% - 0,5%.
E.n. if 0,25%
E.n. if 0,50%
It is important to consider that there are sinnifcant diferences between proft before tax <-> total assets <-> total
assets
Revenues 0.5 – 2%
Assets 0,25% - 0.5%
There are sinnifcant diferences between proft before tax <-> total assets <-> total revenues.
Questonable accuracy
1) Overall materiality:
0.5% * 4.3 billion = 20 million
2) Performance materiality:
50% * 20 million = 10 million
3) Evaluaton of audit fndings:
The audit evidence of 5.75 million misstatement < 10 million or 20 million therefore no issue.
