OUR AUD I T APPROACH OVERVIEW
An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements are free from quantitative and qualitative material misstatement. Overall quantitative group materiality: $2.45 million, which represents approximately 7.5% of net surplus before taxation. We chose net surplus before taxation as the benchmark because, in our view, it is the benchmark against which the performance of the Group is most commonly measured by users, and is a generally accepted benchmark. Our key audit matter is: • Capitalisation of costs into property, plant and equipment (PP&E) and intangible assets.
MATERIALITY The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including the overall Group materiality for the financial statements as a whole as set out above. We also assess qualitative materiality, which includes other matters that, in our judgement, and in the context of our audit, might influence the decisions of the users of the financial statements. Quantitative materiality and qualitative considerations helped us to determine the scope of our audit, the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both individually and in aggregate on the financial statements as a whole. AUDIT SCOPE We designed our audit by assessing the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements and our application of materiality. As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls including among other matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud. We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion on the financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Group, the accounting processes and controls, and the industries in which the Group operates.
