Materiality: Common Principles"Statement of Common Principles of Materiality"
Published by Members of the Corporate Reporting Dialogue (CRD)
16. IMA's Annual Conference & Expo in Las Vegas - 2016
Materiality: Common Principles
▪ Concept that is widely used in financial and non-financial
reporting
▪ Frequently a legal concept - some countries, by either statute,
case law or regulation, have established a definition of
materiality to be applied in a specific jurisdiction
▪ Not possible to establish a ‘one size fits all’ quantified
definition of materiality globally
▪ The application of materiality among Corporate Reporting
Dialogue (CRD) participants compounded due to the different
context in which their reporting standards are applied
▪ Each CRD organization will need to tailor any definition
of materiality to its respective mission
▪ CRD recommends modifications adhere to a foundational
principle: 'material information is any information which is
reasonably capable of making a difference to the
conclusions reasonable stakeholders may draw when
reviewing the related information.'
18. IMA's Annual Conference & Expo in Las Vegas - 2016
Materiality: A Closer Look
Material information is defined by the U.S.
Supreme Court as presenting a substantial
likelihood that the disclosure of the omitted fact
would have been viewed by the reasonable
investor as having significantly altered the “total
mix" of information made available.
-TSC Industries, Inc. v. Northway, Inc., 426 U.S.
438 (1976)
<IR> "Relevant Matters"
Not all relevant matters will be considered
material. To be included in an integrated
report, a matter also needs to be sufficiently
important in terms of its known or potential
effect on value creation.
