参考SEC 业务技术提示第 4 号:
What types of procedures do we perform if the component is not significant?
First, qualitative considerations aside, a component is generally not significant if any benchmark is less than 5% of group financial statements. For these components, an analytical response is applied. The analytical response is based on group materiality and group tolerable error.
The analytical procedures are performed at the group level. Accordingly, depending on the type and nature of these components, the group audit team may aggregate these components at various levels for purposes of performing the analytical procedures. In some cases, the group audit team may choose to perform the analytical procedures at the component level. The purpose of the analytical procedures is to generally corroborate the group audit team’s conclusions that no significant risks of material misstatement exist at these components. If the group audit team believes that an analytical response cannot be applied or may not be sufficient, they should determine whether a targeted response would be more appropriate.
If a component requires a statutory audit, is a comprehensive response required?
No. Many jurisdictions have a statutory audit requirement. Such a requirement means that even a subsidiary that is very immaterial to the group would be required to be audited in the subsidiary’s operating jurisdiction. From the perspective of the group audit, this subsidiary would not be significant and the group audit team would use an “analytical” approach. Therefore, a statutory audit has no bearing on the group audit team’s determination of the component’s significance. |
