| Relevant disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements • Financial statements Note r) Pensions, Note 22 Retirement benefit obligations Audit Committee report Significant issues related to the financial statements, Valuation and presentation of retirement benefit scheme obligations Our results We have not identified any material misstatements from the testing performed in relation to the valuation of the defined benefit pension scheme liabilities. Our application of materiality We apply the concept of materiality both in planning and performing the audit, and in evaluating the effect of identified misstatements on the audit and of uncorrected misstatements, if any, on the financial statements and informing the opinion in the auditor’s report. Materiality was determined as follows: Materiality measure Group Materiality for financial statements as a whole We define materiality as the magnitude of misstatement in the financial statements that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of the users of these financial statements. We use materiality in determining the nature, timing and extent of our audit work. Materiality threshold £3,877k, which is 1.75% of the group’s total income. 66 66 Materiality measure Group Significant judgements made by auditor in determining the materiality In determining materiality, we made the following significant judgements Total income was considered the most appropriate benchmark given the Council’s focus on vision (ie member retention) and value (ie progression of exam entries, percentage of affiliates achieving membership within four years. The more recent shift to the focus of non-core deliverables (diplomas, etc) and marketing/training programmes was also a significant judgement considered when selecting income as the most appropriate benchmark. After reviewing industry competitors benchmarks and the risk associated with the audit, we have determined 1.75% of total income to bean appropriate benchmark. Materiality for the current year is higher than the level that we determined for the year ended 31 March 2021 to reflect review of competitors benchmarks. Download 0.68 Mb. Share with your friends:
