- Indicate whether you agree or disagree with the following statements and explain your reasoning. Teresa Dziuba was assigned to the Heathcliff Energy audit.

If the auditor finds one receivable that is overstated by $110,000, the auditor can ignore the error as it is less than $200,000 (overall materiality).
