When making materiality judgments, an entity should judge an item’s materiality only on its own and not in combination with other information in the complete set of financial statements The Conceptual Framework and the Standards specify a uniform quantitative threshold for materiality To meet the objectives of general-purpose financial reporting, a Standard sometimes contains requirements that depart from the Conceptual Framework The Conceptual Framework is concerned with the provision of financial information to both external users and internal…arrow_forward
