IPSASB issues draft materiality judgement guidance

The International Public Sector Accounting Standards Board (IPSASB) has published draft guidance on making materiality judgements.

The proposed guidance sets out a four-step approach to identifying, assessing, organising and reviewing potentially material information.

IPSASB chair Thomas Müller-Marqués Berger stated: “Materiality helps entities determine what information to include in or exclude from financial statements, and our proposed guidance […]  provides a systematic approach to making such judgments.”

A public consultation on the draft guidance is open until 28 August.
