Materiality

Materiality is an accounting principle that determines whether an amount is significant enough to influence decision-making. If information could affect the judgment of a reasonable user, it is considered material. Immateriel errors or omissions can be ignored, while material ones must be disclosed and corrected promptly in reports.
