Overview:

This session will focus on the important considerations when setting materiality and determining the most effective approach to substantive testing, including sampling and analytical procedures. These areas often involve judgement on the part of the auditor and are therefore often challenging. 

Topics covered will include:

·       Setting materiality and performance materiality – benchmarks and percentages

·       Key materiality documentation requirements

·       Sampling vs selection

·       Determining sample sizes

·       Key considerations when extrapolating misstatements

·       Substantive analytical procedures
