peer agreement (net): +1paraphrase s.b. (using [im]material) Explanation: In (IAS/IFRS) accounting, the Wesentlichkeitsgrundsatz is the principle of materiality. See http://www.iasplus.com/standard/ias01.htm "Materiality and Aggregation Each material class of similar items must be presented separately in the financial statements. Dissimilar items may be aggregated only if the are individually immaterial. [IAS 1.29]" See also explanation at http://esgb.comdirect.de/comdirect/gb2005/de/download/glossa... (p. 7). In your case, the sentence "Aus Wesentlichkeitsgründen haben wir auf eine Analyse der diesbezüglichen Prozesse verzichtet." means just the opposite, i.e. the transactions/items were considered immaterial and thus did not warrant any analysis. Suggested translation: We did not analyse the related processes due to the immaterial nature of the underlying transactions/items. |
