COMPLETION OF THE AUDITASSESSING AUDIT DIFFERENCES
The understating of 68 000 regarding the provision - is smaller than the
materiality figure and is thus quantitatively not material on its own.
If difference is regarded with the invoice error (over-valuation of
inventory) - the total overstating of current assets is R73 000.
Differences on current assets - are thus almost equal to materiality.
Auditor must assess if he wants the final materiality figure - for the
assessment of audit differences has to be equal to the planning materiality
of R75 000 (i.e. does he still feel that R75 000 is the best cut-off point?).
Also have to take into account - the nature of the difference (that it is an
estimate and largely left to professional judgement).
According to those decisions - he will have to finally judge whether he will
be able to accept the differences or modify his report.
If concluded that the joint audit differences are not material - there will be
no impact on the audit report.
If concluded that the audit differences accepted as material - the audit
report will have to be modified (‘except for’) and
Details of the matter - discussed in an explanatory paragraph in the audit
report.
, EFFECT OF SCHEME ON AUDIT REPORT
The difference of R40 000 - smaller than materiality and thus quantitatively
not material.

contrary to tax legislation and GAAP.

The latter two points - cause the difference to be qualitatively material.
The difference impact on the auditor’s opinion – a modified report will
have to be issued.
