Materiality The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. Materiality helped us to determine the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both individually and on the consolidated financial statements as a whole. The materiality for the consolidated financial statements as a whole was set at $11.2 million determined with reference to a benchmark of group profit before tax. We chose the benchmark because, in our view, this is a key measure of the group’s performance. Materiality The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality.
