Is overall materiality as set out above appropriate, taking into consideration the interests of the users and the particular Yes
characteristics of the entity?
Document any other specific comments or explanations Materiality has been set at 1% of Revenue given the hightened focus on this
with regard to materiality here, including references to figure

Component Materiality

Component materiality is determined for those components whose financial information will be audited or reviewed as part of the group audit and is
used by the auditor to evaluate whether uncorrected misstatements are material, individually and in the aggregate.
The components which should be included in the MACM calculation are defined in section 600.21c as “those components where component auditors
will perform an audit or a review for purposes of the group audit.”
This includes any scenario in which component materiality is required to be calculated, including:
• For components which are significant due to size
• For components which are significant due to risk
• Where an audit or review of the financial information of the component is being performed because sufficient audit confidence from a group
perspective will not be obtained from the audit of components which are significant due to size or risk
Component materiality need not be an arithmetical portion of the materiality for the group financial statements as a whole and, consequently, the
aggregate of component materiality for the different components may exceed the materiality for the group financial statements as a whole. The auditor
should use judgment when determining component materiality.
When components are accounted for under the equity method, the FAQs in Practice Aid 19, Group Audits, provide guidance.
This section is hidden because you indicated in the Optimizer Checklist that this is not a group audit.
